I Got You ~ C.B

FORTY-SEVEN

On the list for day nine, our second to last day here, we have planned to go swimming at Amoudi Bay. We meet for breakfast today, at a small cafe just along the road from the houses. It's in another house, door opened up with seating to convert it into a cafe. Its quaint, very homely. They served cappuccino freddo too. It's also today that I decide to complete another one of my travel rituals and submerge my clear quartz crystal cluster in a new ocean. I have to explain this to Colby when we're at the Bay and he sees me pull it out of our bags. He doesn't have to ask, his expression is questioning enough
"Travel ritual. This rock has been to Thailand, Singapore, been in the waters of Hawaii, Vanuatu, Fiji- and now Greece."
He grins at me with furrowed eyebrows. I nod
"Yes, weird and witchy I know."
He chuckles
"Cute and witchy."
I take off my shorts, pulling my shirt over my head and kicking off my shoes. I have my favourite swimsuit on today. And I know for a fact it's Colby's favourite on me too. An olive green, high cut, side boob, spaghetti strapped, 80s Baywatch style one piece. It is, in his opinion from the first time I wore it around him 'hotter than a bikini'. I flick my eyes up at him, he doesn't even hide the fact he's checking me out. I smirk
"See something you like, Colby?"
His eyes search mine, and I know what his are saying. I see something I love. Giggling, I grab his hand and lead all of us into the water. We proceed to swim around in the water of the Bay for a while longer, passing the crystal between each other. And once I put it away, we head out to the giant rock in the middle of the Bay to explore further. It's amazing, the rock is big enough that it still holds a small church on one side. We climb the rock initially to try and explore inside the little church, only to find it won't open. Empty handed, I grab Colby's hand, and make him climb to the highest point with me. I ask him while we're up there, looking down
"Colby?"
"Mhmm?"
"How much would you do with me? What's your limit?"
His thumb brushes across the back of my hand
"Everything. Anything you asked me to."
I hug him, arms around his waist, head tilted back to look up at him
"Jump with me?"
He grins, kisses my temple, and calls down to the boys still in the water below
"Elton!"
They look up at us, I don't even think they realised we were missing.
"GoPro!"
Elton holds a thumb up, and points the camera to us. Colby turns to me and grins
"Ready?"
I don't even respond, but rather run and launch myself off the edge. He follows a second after, both of us screaming as we plunge into the water below us. I open my eyes under water, hanging under there for a moment, watching the bubbles rise to the surface. I see Colby a little ahead of me, treading water, his head already surfaced. Mischief in mind, I dive down further, swimming under him and grabbing his leg as I come up. I feel him jump, and surface chuckling, slicking my hair back. He laughs too, the blue of the water complimenting his eyes, rather than the other way around. I take his hand, guiding him back to the rock to climb back up for another jump. That was exhilarating. Before I begin to climb, Colby stops me. Hidden from the others and rest of the tourists by the boulder, he moves me until my back is against rock, a hand on my face as his eyes drop to my lips. Mine wait for his to meet them, and when they do, seeing that familiar look of love and darkness and passion and adventure in his eyes- I can't anymore. Reaching my hands up and resting them against his neck, I press my lips to his. His hand on my face firmly holding my kiss there as he instantly deepens it. His hand drops to my exposed hip, moving my body against his and he moves me tighter against the rock. We somehow climb up higher, onto a flat ledge of the boulder, still concealed. There, I straddle his lap, his hands on my hips and mine in his hair as we feverishly make up for lost time. Water-slicked skin against skin, sand stuck to the water. His arms wrap around my waist, locking me against his chest as my hands move over his arms. Oh God, Colby. I break the kiss, separating our lips. Still close enough that I can feel his breath fan my lips. He brushes his lips against mine again, and with a giggle, I suggest
"This would be starting to look suspicious to the guys."
He smirks
"They're the sus ones."
I kiss him again, and stand, holding out a hand to help him up
"Come on. Let's go again."

We spend until lunchtime diving off the rocks, trying to out do each other, and then set off to the nearby tavernas to get a bite for lunch. Incredibly good food. An incredibly good lunch, with Colby holding my hand under the table the whole time. We head back to the houses, wanting to get ready before heading to a beach club at sunset. We're in party mode again. Colby and I aren't very productive for a good hour, making out as soon as we get through the door to our cave house. And even as we get ready, every time we pass each other we can't help but pause and kiss a little more. It's hard to keep my hands off him. Since it's a beach party, I wear a black bikini set with a black wrap skirt with dark green palm leaf print over it. I dress it up with a simple silver necklace, hoop earrings and all of my rings. I wear a pair of black lace up gladiator sandals with it. Beach party ready. I doubt it would be more dressy than this. I leave my hair in its salt waves, and leave my makeup only minimal. Before we leave we chow down a couple gyros. We take a cab there, knowing we won't be able to get back on our own any other way. It's pumping when we get there, the sunset beckoning everyone down. The drinking starts as soon as we step foot inside. It's more around the pool area than beach, but the beach is only a few steps away. We start with a round of Ouzo. I had decided to stay away from the Ouzo, but when in Rome- well- Greece. Again, after a few shots and a few cocktails- we're all quickly wasted. We dance in front of the Dj booth amongst the crowd. The boys and I have somehow made it up on the Dj stand, jamming away with drinks in hand. The workers love us here, the loud mouth Americans and the wild Aussie. I make my way over to the bar for another drink, Colby behind me- never letting me get too far without him. He comes up behind me, kissing my shoulder
"Tequila shot?"
I know exactly what he means when he asks this. In response, I order
"Two tequila shots, lime and salt- thanks."
He pours it up for us in no time. Colby sits me up on the bar, I lean back on a hand as he hoists my leg up, placing the salt on my exposed thigh. He takes the shot, licks the salt and takes the lime from my finger tips with his teeth. I giggle, watching his eyes as he sucks the lime. My turn, I prepare him by unbuttoning his shirt further. Pulling it open to expose his collar bone. There is where I put the salt, and place the lime wedge skin side between his teeth. I knock back the shot, hand on the other side of his neck as I lick the salt from his collarbone, trailing my tongue up his neck before biting into the flesh of the lime he still holds between his teeth. Taking it from him, I drop my head back as I suck the juice. His lips going straight for my exposed neck. He lifts me off the bar, and together we run out of the club and onto the beach. Taking our clothes off, we leave them in a pile on the sand, wading and sinking into the water alone. Just in the shallows, he holds me bridal style, spinning us in the water. I giggle, tilting my head back to kiss his jaw
"Now this feels like a vacation."
He smirks down at me
"Now going to Greece is worth it."
I kiss him, and we end up on the sand, waves still lapping at us as he hovers over me, lips exploring my exposed skin. It doesn't last for long though, or maybe it does. I can't tell, but either way, we're eventually interrupted by the boys stumbling out of the bar. We hear them first, calling for us.
"Colby! Rey!"
"Alaska? Colby!"
"Yo bitches!"
We instinctively jump apart, pretending to just come out of the water, stumbling as we do.
"Sorry guys!" I call "the Aussie felt like a swim!"
Elton replies as they reach us
"Well get dressed. Club is closed."
Colby pulls out his phone from the pile of clothes, checking the time
"Closed? It's eleven."
Brennan nods
"I know. But it's cool- we'll go bar hopping."
Heath adds
"Some Dude suggested a place in Fira called Momix. Let's head there."
Wrapping my skirt around me again, I tipsily agree
"Onwards!"
Taking another cab there, it's where we spend rest of the night. It's a molecular mixology bar, I don't know what it means, but I think it means badass. The drinks do cool shit like smoke and they're delicious. The music is alternate and electronic, although in a different language. But it's so cool. We only head home in another cab at around half past two.
