Fresh start

Chapter 8

Sophia pov

We arrived at 11 am in a beautiful house near the sea. We parked outside, and as soon as we got out of the car, I saw that the others had arrived.

"We go in to tidy up the bedrooms, and then we say what we're going to do," says Kevin, and we walk to the door. Upon entering, it has a cozy living room connected to the kitchen and the left of the dining room.

"Guys, you're not a stranger. You have your rooms. Sophia, follow me. I'll show you yours."

"Okay," I answer and follow him. The guys entered their rooms, and Kevin showed me mine.

"That's it. The opposite is mine if you need something. Steffie is next door, as you saw. If you need something, you tell me."

"Thanks, the house is very nice."

"No problem. My sister helped me decorate. So would you like us to go for a walk on the beach?" he asks. "The guys?"

"Whenever we come, they deal with each other. And the three couples I tell you with confidence that they will be late to leave their rooms," he tells me and winks

"Oh. Ok sure. A walk sounds great," he nods, and he says

"Okay. When you're ready, knock on my door, and we're leaving. I know a spot where we can talk." oh boy, that doesn't sound good. I started unpacking.

I wore jeans and a blue sweater. Scarf and black wellies, I took my cell phone and coat in my hand and went to the door.

I went out to the hall. I took a breath and knocked on the door.

"Kevin, I'm ready. You?" he opens the door, and my heart stops. I stayed there to look at it. Well, I say what he does for a model. His body is not described. This is the first time I've seen such a body up close. Where I go with him?

"Sophia? Hello?"

"Em, yeah. Ready?"

"Are you ok?" he asks

"Hmm, will you get dressed? I want to see the place" I'm going to turn, but it catches me by the wrist. "Are you sure? You just saw me and became a statue," he tells me and smiles slyly. Do you like it that way? I will not do you a favor. "I'll wait for you downstairs," and I leave quickly. Going down, I hear him laughing. i***t. I text Steffie and tell her I'm going for a walk with Kevin, so she knows. As long as I waited, of course, I didn't get an answer. She is busy. I hear Kevin coming down.

"Ready. Let's go" oh my God, how much more handsome it can be. He is wearing black jeans, boots, and a black sweatshirt with white designs. And a gray jacket and scarf.

"Yes, let's go," I say, and we leave the house. We proceeded to the sea. She was calm and still not so cold.

"They are beautiful. I have always loved the sea. When I wanted to calm down and always think I would take my car and go to the beach."

"And so I am. You can come with me whenever you want."

"Thank you, but I don't want to bother you. You have your job. I can't tell you I want to go by sea and come."

"I can, and I will."

"What do you mean?" I ask

" Sophia, I wanted to talk for a long time, but I respected that you wished for time to clarify your past. But lately, I feel like you're away. I want you to know that my feelings for you have not changed. Just let me show you that I can make you happy. " He cups my face with both hands. Wait, he thinks I'm not with him because he is the problem?

"Wait, Kevin, the issue is not you, or I think all men are the same. Of course, you are not. Like all women, we are not the same." I sigh

"My point is that you are worth much more than dragging yourself with me in my problems. My divorce has not come out. After I left, I tried to talk to them again, but only my mother spoke to me. My father doesn't want to know me. Many things have happened in my life. And you are perfect. You deserve a girl who is worthy of you. " he goes to say something, but I cut him off. "No. Let me finish what I have to tell you, and then you tell me what you want." I take a deep breath and keep going

"You have to learn about me before you decide anything." I start my whole story from the beginning. For how traditional my family is, how I got married and how I ended up in the divorce decision. Everything is in detail. If he wants to be with me, it will not be easy He may never know my family. Maybe his family and his circle will never accept me, and if that happens, I will never be between him and his family. After a long time and sitting on rocks, I finished and waited for Kevin to speak. We were facing each other, and our knees were touching. He touches my hands with his own.

"Look at me Sophia," I raise my eyes and look him in the eye

"Thank you for sharing all this with me. You trusted me, and that means a lot to me. You are a wonderful person and the strongest I've ever known. Very few people decide to leave it all behind and make a new beginning away from their families. They agree with their lives and are afraid to try anything else. You tried something else. You came to the other side of the earth far from what you knew to live. All I ask of you is if you want to live with me. We may or may not fit. We can't say. But if you don't give us a chance, you can't know. As for my family, if that worries you more, they already know about you. "

"They know?"

"It was a bit difficult to hide it. From the day I met you, I have had a permanent smile on my face. For a long time, before I met you, I was a closed character. I didn't smile. I was angry for no reason. Everything in my life had to do with my job. When I met you for some strange reason, I smiled for no reason, and my parents suddenly saw me happy. They realized that I must have met someone and that's how I talked to them about you. They want to meet you. They already love you for the change you made to me. As for your family, I understand. I want to be with you, and if you want, believe it. What I say may seem selfish, but for some reason, I am glad that it is as it is. If your life were happy in Greece, you would never come, and I wouldn't know you. I'm sorry for what you went through. I'm glad you did. Do you understand what I mean? " he seems anxious lest I misunderstand him. I smile and answer him

"I understand. But maybe you're right. Maybe I should have gone through all this to end up meeting you." I tell him, and I touch his face, and I go closer

"Sophia?"

"Yes, Kevin"

"You are so beautiful" I smile

"You too. You're like coming out of a fashion magazine. I wonder how you like me. I'm the girl next door."

"I like that. You don't try to show something you're not. You're real. It makes you so beautiful."

"Kevin, can I kiss you now? I've been dreaming of this since the night I met you." I don't have time to finish. He grabs me by the waist and kisses me. My hands slipped from his cheeks and went into his hair. He growls and deepens the kiss. He holds me tight and pulls me closer to him. Oh my God, I don't live that. His scent has stunned me, and his kiss burns me. We stopped to breathe, and our foreheads touched.

"Better than I dreamed," I say with a laugh

"Did you dream of me?"

"Every night," I say and close my mouth with my hands. He laughs and tells me

"Don't worry. I see you in my dreams too. We don't just kiss" f**k, before I answer, I hear a message on my cell phone

"It's Steffie. She says they are ready and will wait for us.”

"Okay. Let's go, but we're not done yet" we got up, I took his hand, and we walk to the house. I am doomed
