Fresh start

Chapter 13

Sophia pov

It's been a week since I moved in with Kevin, and everything is going better than I expected. We go and come home from work, eat, watch movies and go to bed. It may seem boring to some people, but for us, it is what we have always wanted from a relationship—stability, understanding, calm, relaxation, and perfect s*x every night before bed. Sunday today, Kevin and I went to Tyler's house for lunch. It has a lovely detached cottage just outside the city near the mansion of Kevin's parents. There are no words to describe it—a house of what we see in the movies. Huge house. At Tyler's home, we ate, we said we all had a great time. I relaxed as much as I could. Tomorrow I am waiting for a phone call from my lawyer to tell me what happened to the divorce proceedings. I sent the money my ex asked for, and I'm waiting. I'm in the kitchen with Steffie, and we're talking about it. Hellen, Jen, and Kelly are also with us. After so many months, they know everything. The five of us have become inseparable. They accepted me immediately into their girls' gang, and I will always be grateful for that. I have never had such beloved friends. My friendships did not last in Greece. Some girls after school disappeared. Whenever these four were done, they immediately became my close friends.

"Do you think the i***t accepted? I do not think he will bring you other problems?" Jen asks me.

"I hope because I have nothing else to give. I sent whatever money I had. But I don't mind as long as I finish with him. He has hurt me a lot. "

"We know sweetly, but you are not alone anymore. You have us. You have Kevin. He will not leave you like that. If you let Kevin help you, you would have been done with him for a long time." Steffie tells me, "Steffie, I told you many times, I don't involve Kevin in it. You told me he could help with money, but I am not going to take anything from him. Ok? We are done with this. Kevin is out of it." I snarl and go to the living room. I turn around to leave, but I stop and tell her again

"Sorry, Steffie, but Kevin has already done a lot for me. I don't want anyone to think that I am taking advantage of him financially. That's why I insist on not knowing details." I say, and I turn my body to look at her

"I know, sweetheart. I want you to finish this part of your life and move on" I go to answer, but my cell phone rings. He is the lawyer. Why is he taking me today? "Sorry, I have to answer this," I say, and I answer the call

"Mr. Petropoulos?"

"Good evening Sophia. Sorry for the time. I know it's four in the afternoon there."

"No, you did not bother. It will be serious for you to be called now. It is late at night in Greece" "Sophia. I don't know how to tell you. He is asking for more. I tried to persuade him to sign so that you could both finish. But he doesn't accept. He is angry because you left him."

"Oh my God, how much does he want?" I ask him and watch Steffie growl. I finish the phone call, and I feel my eyes watering.

"Honey, what happened?" asked Hellen and came to hug me.

"Does the bastard ask for more?" asks Steffie. I nod

"That asshole," says Kelly.

"You have us, sweety, don't stress," Jen tells me, and everyone comes to hug. We hugged for a while until we heard the boys. "Where is the dessert, girls?"

"We are coming," Steffie shouts

"Whatever you need, we're here," says Jen. I wiped my tears, and we went to the living room. I sat next to Kevin, trying to be as relaxed as possible. I don't want him to know what is happening.

"Baby, are you okay?" Kevin asks me, "Yes, why do you ask?"

"You look strange from the moment you came from the kitchen."

"I'm fine. I'm just waiting for the two of us to leave" I try to make him forget.

"Do you want to leave?."

"Yes. Can we?"

"Of course, baby," he tells me and smiles at me. "Guys, we will leave. I have to get ready for a meeting tomorrow," we said goodbye. The girls told me again if I needed something to say to them. In the car, we had fallen into a convenient silence. He kept holding my hand all the way. I looked at him and smiled. I have found my man, and I couldn't be with him freely. And this asshole still does what he can to hold me back. Maybe I should call him to talk. There is no other way.

Tomorrow, as soon as I find an opportunity, I will talk to him. "Love, we have arrived," Kevin told me. "Right"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I was thinking random things. Nothing specific" we went up to the apartment, took a shower, and more. Kevin and I dealt with the deal that has to do tomorrow. I cooked, and we ate dinner. We watched TV, and it was time for bed. I'm ready to lie down, and I feel Kevin hugging me from behind. "You were gorgeous today. Your blue goes very well."

"Thank you, baby. You make me feel beautiful." I turn around and kiss him

"You are the best that came into my life."

"The same. I've been waiting for you for so long, and I'm not going to let you go."

"I'm not going anywhere for as long as you want me to stay here" we made love again and again. I will do everything to stay with him. I will not let anyone or anything ruin what I live.
