Interlude
"Στέφ... Στέφ... μωρό μου;” (Steph... Steph... baby?) a familiar voice whispered.
“Huh? Who’s calling me? And why does it sound like they’re miles away?” I wondered.
"ΡΕΕ, ΞΥΠΝΑ! ΞΕΚΟΛΛΑ!” (HEYY, WAKE UP DUDE! GET OVER YOURSELF!) the voice insisted, the soft whisper now replaced by an actual shout.
I could also feel a purposeful jolt, back and forth.
“I better wake up.” I decided.
I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by the sight of two beautiful black eyes and two wisps of purple hair resting on each of my cheeks. The rest of this girl’s hair was pitch black and up on a ponytail.
My vision slowly cleared.
There she was!
My beautiful girlfriend...
Mia.
"Καλημέρα, baby...” (Good morning, baby...) I said, still half asleep while rubbing my eyes.
"Γιατί βιαζόμαστε;” (What’s the hurry?) I asked, in a raspy morning voice.
Mia pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. She then planted her hands on my chest and used me as a brace to push herself upright properly riding me.
"Τι εννοείς;! Έχουμε καφέ με τον Κώστα στις 11:00, αρχικά! Μετά έχεις στούντιο στις 14:00 που, παρεμπιπτόντως, δε μου έχεις πει τίποτα για το νέο κομμάτι-” (What do you mean?! We are meeting Kostas for coffee at 11:00, for starters! Then you have to go to the studio at 14:00 which, by the way, you haven’t even told me anything about the new track-) Mia begun replying, counting each task with her fingers.
My ears slowly turned off, my attention now focused elsewhere.
I could not resist those pursed, light pink lips.
I lifted myself up and went in for a kiss, interrupting Mia in the process.
She didn’t even flinch. She returned the kiss, matching my energy and pushing me on the bed with as much force as she could apply from the awkward position she was in. She then pulled back and continued as if nothing even happened.
"Και, επίσης, δίνεις Αγγλικά στις 17:00.” (And, of course, you have an English exam at 17:00.) she concluded, smiling happily and tilting her head to the side.
Her colorful hair followed her motion with a slight delay.
“Speaking of which...” I remembered.
“Yeah, yeah! We’re all gonna be talking in English to you, for the rest of the day! Whatever. I’ll help you practise, babe!” Mia muttered, acting slightly annoyed even as her eyes were sparkling.
“That’s yet another reason why I love you! You’re like a sexy calendar! Always making sure I know my schedule while being a sight for sore eyes every morning!” I chuckled.
Mia sighed playfully and rolled her eyes, again. That was her signature move, at this point.
She got off me in one effortless motion and off the bed just as easily.
With no respect for my morning wood, she then proceeded to bend over to collect her clothes lying on the floor after another one of our wild nights, together.
I could never get over how absolutely stunning she looked, especially in her bra and panties.
“God, I’m such a lucky bastard!” I thought to myself, smirking while staring at her perfect ass.
“Hey! Mister Greek lover!” Mia exclaimed, as she caught me sneaking a peek while pulling up her dark jeans.
“Make sure you don’t say shit like that to the examiner today. You’re there to get the damn paper, not get in their pants!” she joked.
“Damn... Did I speak out loud?” I wondered.
I chuckled and decided to tease her a bit more.
“What if I end up with a hot, girl, examiner? I might find myself wanting to do both?!” I joked.
Mia stared daggers at me.
A hard, dry swallow quickly followed.
“I’ll cut your fucking dick off.” she proclaimed, serious as ever.
I had come to respect that tone. The way she weaponised her voice was another thing I loved about her.
“I’m heading out. Get dressed and follow me.” she instructed in her familiar bossy attitude.
“Add being my personal compass to the things I love about you!” I played.
Mia did her best to hide a chuckle.
“You’re an idiot.” she dismissed as she exited the room.
“You know you love me!” I yelled in response as she slowly walked out of sight.
My vision started to blur again.
With reality fracturing before my eyes, I heard her voice one last time.
“I do love you... Steph!”
