I’d never been abroad on my own before. I’d always been with friends to the usual Spanish resorts where sun, sea, sand, sangria and sex were the norm. This time though my best friend Kate had got a great job at the Piraeus Cruise Ship Terminal in Athens and moved there eight months ago so, at the tender yet not really innocent age of 21, I had just been dropped off by my dad at Gatwick Airport.
I was there three hours before my flight and I was nervous as I checked in, early I know but I’d get to board the plane before those who checked in later. That was what I wanted and checking in was surprisingly easy.
I quick walk through security followed and then, after a look around the rather overpriced outlets, I chilled with a beer or two.
The time soon passed and I was quite relaxed when I heard the call for my flight to Athens. With a bit of luck I’d be at Kate’s apartment in Galatsi by about 9pm Greek time.
Much to my delight the flight was a breeze. I sat at the back next to the window and had a wine with ice whilst I read my book. I never even got worried when I saw lightning on the approach over Athens and after a speedy walk through security and getting my suitcase with ease I excited to see Kate waiting for me. All smiles and watery eyed.
"Helloooo" she said as we held each other, "So great you’re here, we’re gonna have a brilliant two weeks"
"I can’t wait" I replied, kissing her cheek. "Fuck I’ve missed you!"
She agreed and we walked to her car, a tatty looking Peugeot 306 in silver with a red door where she’d had a bump.
Throwing my case in the back she said "Back to mine yeah? I have lots of beer for us."
"Defo!" I hastily replied. "Let’s get smashed!"
With a laugh we got into the car and set off on the half hour drive to her place.
Her apartment was gorgeous. Small with one only one bedroom and a compact lounge and kitchen area but it had direct access through a patio door to the roof space and she’d put a table and lounge chairs out there under a large parasol styled cover which gave her privacy from the other buildings. That, combined with the view across the city, made the place perfect.
Once I’d unpacked the Amstel was soon flowing and we were catching up on all the good times we’d had and also what we were doing now. We were getting in a bit of a state really and when I slipped on the step and bumped my back on the table we decided to call it a night so we climbed in her bed and cuddled up.
Kate is straight so it was strictly no touching and we were soon fast asl**p.
I slept really well but on waking up, apart from the hangover, I had such a pain where I’d hit my back.
"I can’t see a bruise." Kate said as she looked at my lower back, "but there’s a chemist just around the corner so we can get something there for you."
"Yeah" I agreed and after breakfast we went outside and walked to the chemist then, on opening the door, I was stunned. There in front of me stood this totally beautiful girl in a white smock over a knee high black skirt and a light blue blouse. Wow she was perfect, her dark skin and brown eyes were framed by beautiful straight black hair that was tied into a pony tail. She was slightly taller than me and had smallish breasts not much different to mine I’d say.
She looked directly at me with those hypnotic eyes and then her full red lips parted, "Hello" she said.
"Er Hello" I nervously replied, I’ve hurt my lower back and wondered if you had anything that would help?"
"Of course" she replied in very good English, "I have some cream which with numb the pain and take away any inflamation"
"Sounds great," I said, all transfixed by her total gorgeousness. "How much is it?"
"s*******n Euro."
"Ok that will be great. Thankyou" I said with a smile on my dumbstruck face.
She scribbled down some instructions on the box for me as the ones on the box were in Greek and, after paying her and saying Goodbye we left the shop
"Put ya fuckin’ eyes back in ya lezza!" laughed Kate
I giggled and we took a walk to the local shops to get some groceries for us before having a couple of drinks at a small taverna and then spending that hot Saturday afternoon on her roof.
"We’ll go out tonight to The Flocafe." said Karen. "It’s cool there and I know you’ll like it."
"Sounds good to me mate." I agreed and we settled in the sun before getting ready to go out that night.
The time soon went that afternoon as we lay there talking about the fun we’d had back home and Kate asked about the friends and lovers we’d had and what they were doing now and before we knew it, we’d had something to eat and were getting ready to go out.
Kate went for a navy blue mini dress with matching heels and bag whilst I wore my black and white Karen Millen very short tight dress with a pair of strappy black heels and a black clutchbag. My hair was down and I had to admit "Yeah not bad at all hun."
We left the apartment as the last throws of light were dying out and jumped into the lift that took us down to the entrance hall.
"How’s ya back?" Kate enquired
"Fine thanks" I duly replied
"Hmm must be that hot chemist. You were all big eyes and wet knickers" she laughed, to which I told her to shut up and we left the lift and headed onto the main road to walk to the Flocafe.
It was only a ten minute walk to the Flocafe and when we arrived it was loud, crowded and had that great atmosphere that I love when on holiday. We managed to get a table and within minutes a waitress appeared and took our order for two bottles of Mythos beer, basically a Greek lager.
We sat chatting for a while and then Kate looked up and waved to attract the attention of two Greek guys who had just arrived.
"Ya sas!" she shouted as they aproached, "This is my English friend Nikki. This is Nick and George" she continued.
I said hello and was happy to find that they both spoke very good English. A relief as my Greek was none existant.
They were very nice and I was accepted immediately as a friend but, suddenly, something distracted me. Something beautiful in a pure white little dress with deep red shoes and a deep red flower in her black hair that matched her lipstick. I was transfixed. It was the girl from the Chemist!
"Hey Vasso!" George shouted to her, "Over here!"
She looked across to us and came over then sat opposite me as George introduced us all before ordering more drinks.
"How’s the back?" she enquired with her soft sweet voice, "You look very well."
"It’s perfect thanks to you." I answered and added "You do as well. I never realized it was you at first."
"Oh I do erm scratch well I think yes?"
"You mean scrub up well" I giggled and she laughed.
"Yes yes" she answered taking a sip from her first drink.
We hit it off straight away and were almost separate to Kate, Nick and George, although Kate did look at me at times with a wicked smile.
I learnt about her f****y and so much about Athens and she was so interested in my home life and my football playing and in what seemed like mere minutes it was very late and time to go.
"The boys are gonna walk me home ok and then they’ll go on into the city" said Kate.
"Oh ok. I’ll walk with Vasso then so leave your door unlocked"
"Will do." Kate replied with that smile on her face again and she got up and left with the boys.
I looked at Vasso and as we both stood up she slipped her arm through mine.
She lived about five minutes from the bar and as we strolled along we were still talking. Then we got to the door to her apartment block.
"I have to go now, but can we meet in the little taverna by the park at about twelve? I’m not working tomorrow."
My heart jumped. "Yes of course." I managed to somehow say and then she pulled me by my hands into the entrance hall and kissed me fully on the lips.
I responded and soon we were kissing hard with our tongues exploring each other mouths and our hands stroking up and down our locked together bodies.
I was getting so hot and breathless as the passion rose in me and my heart was thumping but she realized this and gently stopped and pulled away from me.
"Tomorrow yes?" She asked softly.
"Yes oh yes" I answered between my breaths.
"Night Night. Kali nichta." she whispered and she turned and vanished into the hallway. Her white dress showing up like a shimmering apparition before vanishing in the dark.
The next morning I was up and thinking "Was it a dream?"
Then Kate shouted from outside, "Get any then Nikki?" before giggling.
"No but I’m seeing her at lunch if that’s ok. You can come with me though no problem." I shouted back as I went for a shower.
"Nah hun. I have things to do really." she chirped back. "You go have some chemistry ok."
"Cheeky cow!" I shouted and got in the shower.
It was noon when I entered walked past the park. Yes I was a little bit late but I just did not know what to wear. I’d been trying this on, "No too tarty for daytime," then another outfit, "No way I look too much like a tourist and only Greeks live around here."
In the end I settled for a short denim skirt and a white Runaways vest top with a pair of denim look wedges and as I entered the Taverna Vasso was sat on a couch under a parasol but still in the sunlight.
Her hair shimmered in the sun and she was wearing a short pink skirt with a flowered blouse and a pair of gorgeous pale blue strappy heeled sandals.
"Ya sas." I said as I sat down next to her, the light showing her soft Greek legs to full beautiful effect.
"Ya soo." she instantly replied and she beckoned to a waiter and ordered a beer for me.
"That ok?" she enquired as I took my first sip.
"Perfect. Etharisto." I answered in unconvincing Greek.
We both laughed and spent what seemed like a lovely and perfect couple of hours together before, on standing up she asked me if I wanted to go to her apartment.
"Sure, I’d like that if that’s ok." I affirmed.
"Yes you’re welcome. My mama and pappy are out so we can relax there."
Now twenty minutes walk by a busy road in the mid afternoon sun is not exactly comfortable despite our summer clothing and when we got to Vasso’s apartment we were both sweating and thirsty.
She poured me an ice cool glass of spring water and looked at me as I took a thirsty drink before lifting her hand and stroking my hair
"Come with me where we can cool down" she said softly yet confidently and led me to the bathroom where a large shower unit faced us as we went through the door.
She slipped her shoes off and walked daintily barefoot to the shower and turned it on, then, turning back around she walked towards me and kissed me,
My response was instant and we were soon kissing and caressing each other through our clothes.
"Let us cool yes?" she said looking at me with those perfect brown eyes and with that she stepped back and undid her blouse, slowly and teasingly to reveal beautiful light brown breasts in a white bra.
I was almost in a trance as I watched her slide her skirt over her hips and I when she undid her bra her beautiful brown nipples made me want her so much.
Then followed her white tiny pants, inch by inch she slid them over her perfect legs to reveal a small triangle of black hair just above her sweet pussy.
Suddenly she spun around and nipped into the shower before turning seductively around again and pointing to me.
"Your turn now." she said with a big beautiful smile and I was so eager to take my turn.
I started by looking her straight in the eyes, those beautiful brown eyes and then, slowly and teasingly, I pulled the right strap of my top over my shoulder.
She was transfixed by me and I bit my bottom lip all innocently as I pulled the other strap slowly off my shoulder so that she could see the top of my heaving breasts.
Slowly I pulled my top down, showing my nipples before letting it drop over my hips to the floor.
Vasso stood there, her fingers involuntarily caressing her right nipple as I slowly undid my skirt and let it fall to join my top.
This was followed by my shoes as I undid the straps and kicked them off and then I was naked except for a pair of light blue pants.
I ran my finger along my slit through them and very deliberately slipped them down to reveal my shaven pussy for her eyes to feast on.
Vasso turned and adjusted the dial in the shower and then turned back to me. "Come here Nikki." she said softly just as I took my first step across the bathroom towards her.
I stepped into the tray, my skin a pale contrast to hers, and our lips met in a passionate open mouthed kiss as our arms wrapped around each other, our breasts pushed together and our fingers tracing over each others bodies as the warm water cascaded down onto us.
Wow I was so turned on by this girl and I ran my lips across her cheek and started to play with her ear gradually letting them travel to her neck in a series of soft little kisses which made her sigh with pleasure.
My right hand was now gently squeezing her right breast and, with the help of the water, her dark nipple stood out so erect when I ran my thumb lightly over it.
I could feel her hand caressing my butt cheeks as I bowed my head and kissed her chest, working my way over her breasts before licking her nipples in turn and then taking each in my mouth, sucking and gently biting them so that they stood proud from my attentions.
"Oh yes Nikki." she managed to say and I felt her hand on my shoulder pushing and willing me to go down her body. Needing no persuasion I did so in a series of kisses again and as I got to the top of her sweet little triangle she put her left leg up on the step to allow me full access to her beautiful pussy.
It was pouting and had such tantalising lips that were like the petals of a dark flower and her sweet bud was exposed and a dream to see.
I resisted the temptation though as I wanted to make it perfect for her and I traced my lips down her leg to her knee and again started to work my way up, one kiss at a time, slowly and deliberately until I got within an inch of her open lips.
She was panting and trembling as I started to kiss either side of her pussy and she was making little groans. I knew it was time and I put my lips over one of her labia and sucked it into my mouth, causing her to say something in Greek which just encouraged me more so I sucked on them both as she pushed her pelvis forward to meet my eager mouth.
Her hands were on my head willing me to eat her out as I sucked on her so I lifted my head back a bit and flicked my tongue over her clitoris, causing her to shudder and moan. She wasn’t far off and I knew it so I slipped two fingers into her as I licked her clit and started to gently pump them in and out, feeling how slippery and wet she was inside.
The water was spraying down but neither of us noticed as her hips started thrusting at me faster and my fingers started to meet her thrusts, getting faster and harder so that was stuggling to use my mouth on her.
I thought that might cause a problem but she was too far gone and I used my thumb to rub her clit faster and faster, her panting and moaning getting louder until she cried "Fuck!" out loud and started to scream as her orgasm ripped through her perfect body.
She was riding my hand like crazy until suddenly she stopped, totally out of breath, and slumped over me as her orgasm subsided.
I lifted her gently back and we just looked at each other. Our hair was soaked and we looked rather unkempt but we didn’t care and we locked our lips together again,
"Let us dry off and go into my room." she said turning the water off.
We got out of the shower and gently towelled each other down before she led me by the hand into her bedroom.
Her room was light and airy and very cool as it faced away from the sun.
"Lie down Nikki" she said in that beautiful accent. "I want to see all of you and how beautiful you are."
I gently did as she asked and she knelt by me, her fingers caressing every inch of my body. She was describing little circles with them, across my chest, around my nipples and over my tummy and down the sides of my hips.
Now it was my turn to do the moaning as she bent her head and started to lick and kiss my nipples and my thighs parted almost involuntarily as she started to run her fingers over my slit and across my clit.
I was so turned on and she noticed how wet I was getting which was a perfect opportunity for her to take full advantage of by tracing her tongue down my body and into my open pussy, tasting my juices and then probing deeper.
I was in total paradise. I’d surrended my innermost secret to her and she knew exactly what to do, her rythm getting faster to match my passion and before any time had passed I came noisily and very wet on her beautiful face.
We lay there after, just kissing and caressing and talking softly and made love several times in different ways before we got dressed and went to Kates.
Kate was in and couldn’t wait to ask me how we’d got on although the looks on our faces gave the game away easily no doubt, as did the fact that we held hands and kept kissing each other.
I spent nearly every night with Vasso and Kate as I didn’t want to neglect my friend but. at every opportunity we stole off to make love and every time was better than I’d ever imagined, until I had to go home that was.
The tears were flowing at the airport as Kate and Vasso dropped me off and I think we were in love but the distance came between us and sadly it ended.
I still see her when I go to Athens but we’re just friends with a beautiful past now although I often wonder "What if?" with a tiny tear in my eye.
