Chapter 4
The days past and before we knew it a month of our summer had past. While I had expected to spend my time with Anne I found that I spent most of my time with Alic. I was sitting on the beach one day at twilight when I heard an all to familiar voice, “Lost in thought again?” I smiled and put my arm in Alic’s once he was sitting next to me, “You know if you aren’t careful someone is going to snatch you up and take you away to that place you go to and never let you return. “Sometimes I wish y…they would.” I looked back out across the sea. We sat in silence, our hands intertwining as we watched the sun go down, “You know Anne’s boyfriend is coming in tomorrow…” “I know, I still can’t believe she has kept the same boyfriend for this long and through phone a mail.” Alic chuckled, he was quiet tonight. He stood and held out his hand, I took it and we began to walk. “I have been thinking, since they are going to be busy doing things with each other why don’t we go into Athens for a couple of days, we can shop, go see the Parthenon and some of the other places?” He had listened, all those times we sat, him listening to me go on and on about the history of the ancient world and how I wanted to go see the Parthenon before we went back home he had listened, “That sounds perfect. I was hoping to see it before we left.” Alic beamed as his golden eyes lit up, “Great, because I already made the arrangements.” In my excitement I hugged him tight, “When do we leave!!” “First thing in the morning, we take a boat to the mainland and then a bus to Athen.” I was over the moon and I was still hugging him. He smiled at me again, his arms around me. In that tiny moment the world seemed to stand still. “I should go in and…” I ran away leaving Alic on the beach. I could feel him looking at me.
You have to stop letting your guard down around him, I said to myself. You are not supposed to want to be with him. Your life is planned out and yet, Alic was all I ever thought about, all I ever wanted. I took a cold shower and went to bed.
