Chapter Four

Katerina

I wake up feeling warm and guarded and it brings a bright smile to my face. I gently and reluctantly ease out of Noah’s arms and quietly hurry to the bathroom before he wakes up. I hop into the shower after a look in the mirror shows me a very messy and well-loved version of myself.

I wrap myself in a towel and tiptoe through the room to my dress. Noah is out like a light through the whole time that I’m getting dressed and making myself presentable. Today is one day I have nothing on my schedule except exploring the city sights. So with no real plans, I look up some tourist hot spots I’ll ask him to take me to.

I get impatient for him to wake up, so to keep myself from jumping on him, I grab his room keycard and my purse and go across the hall to order breakfast for us both and a pot of coffee. I wait on the room service and prop the door open just in case Noah wakes to find me gone and comes looking for me.

I check my phone and see that I’ve missed a few calls from my youngest brother, so I call him back while I wait.

I am talking in Greek with him when the food and drinks arrive and continue to talk while having my first cup of coffee. The door whips open across the hall and a furious looking Noah has me quickly telling my brother I love him and I’ll talk to him soon.

When Noah stalks through my room door, he gazes at me for a moment before his eyes land on the tray of breakfast. The look of anger disappears from his face and I watch as it turns to confusion and then resolve.

“I thought you had bailed on me. I’m sorry for thinking the worst,” he says while shaking his head at his own dark thoughts. “I’ve never woken up and been that enraged. I don’t like that was my first reaction. It doesn’t quite make sense to me.” He paces back and forth while he comes to terms with his own emotions.

I just listen, voicing no opinions or apologies. He finally stops in front of me and kneels at my feet. “I’ve spent so little time with you since we met, but it seems like a lifetime has passed and a lifetime will not be enough for me. I know what you said yesterday about only being here a short time and the fear of becoming involved and then having to leave not being an option for you. But what if we take this day by day and allow whatever feelings to grow before crushing them before we even give us a chance?”

“How is that going to work? And aren’t you concerned at all this could be heartbreaking for both of us?” I ask, looking into his eyes.

“I’m willing to take the risk, are you?” he challenges.

I sigh but don’t look away or dismiss him.
