Chapter 10:

Katherine POV:

On the flight back home, I sat next to Apollo again, the both of us sneaking in touches and gazes when the others weren't looking or were occupied, but obviously, Stacey who I actually hadn't seen much of this whole trip, makes her way to us and asks if she could speak to Apollo. Not wanting to seem obvious I say yes and go to sit in her place up front with the other lawyers. Something feels off as Stacey is always around Apollo but for some reason now that I think about it, she was literally missing for almost this whole trip...maybe she found another boy toy to entertain her? Anyway, I continue my conversation with the others and soon we are told we are going to land, I head back to my seat and look confused at Apollo as Stacey just frowns at me and walks to her seat.

"What was that about?" he looks at Stacey questioningly as she walks away and then at me "I have no idea, but she was asking questions about the mafia case...I'm not too sure why though, but something feels strange..." I nod and make a mental note

"She wasn't at the beach party that night and other than meetings and the anniversary event, I didn't see her often..." we never got to finish as the flight attendant started doing checks and the captain announced that we were landing.

Greeting Apollo with my eyes and mouthing 'I'll call you later' as there were too many colleagues around us, I head home. Chris is not answering his calls but luckily I know where the spare key is. I hear music coming from inside the apartment and open the door

"Honey I'm ho- ahhh! Oh shit! Mr Galanis! What- how- Chris!?" I turn around to face the door after basically seeing my boss's best friend naked in our apartment. Chris comes around to me "Sweetie, open your eyes" and turns me back around to where Mr Galanis is now standing and goes around to him, putting his arm around his waist. My mouth cannot seem to close, but once everything is settled into my brain I ask

"So, what is this? When? And how?" Chris pours us wine, even though it is only 11 am. He motions for me to sit and I sit opposite them on the couch. Chris looks lovingly at Mr Galanis and then to me and starts explaining how apparently I had a file from work that Mr Galanis needed, it was that day when I was so busy I barely had time to think so he said he'd come to fetch it at my house to which I gave him the address. Chris says he answered the door and fell in love right away, I had to laugh at that, he is forever falling in love at first sight... he then explained that he was the one who asked Mr Galanis out for a drink and the rest is history, so they've actually been going out for a while now, they've just been keeping it low-key.

"And when were you going to tell me??" I made my best sad face at Chris to which he laughed

"We were actually waiting for you and Apollo to get back so we could tell you both" I can't help but smile at my best friend looking so happy that I jump up and hug them both

"I am so happy for you both, you make a rather sexy couple if I don't say so myself" I wiggle my eyebrows but then look at Mr. Galanis who also chuckled

"Sorry, sir- Mr Galanis..." he raises his hand

"Please, none of that, if Chris and I are going to be together, we need to become friends too, so please just call me Dmitri" I clap my hands out of happiness and squeal with Chris. We spend the rest of the day hanging out and chatting, and I can't help but aww at them every time they simply look at each other. Apparently, Apollo knew Dmitri was gay and his parents do as well, he just doesn't go around making it obvious as he is clearly not as flamboyant as Chris over here. We arrange to meet in a few days for supper so that Dmitri can introduce Chris to Apollo as Apollo is like a brother to Dmitri and Chris is my best friend, so they wanted the two important people in their lives to gather...if only they knew...

The next few days are hectic at the office as the mafia case keeps getting messier and messier, with the other party playing more and more dirty to the point where Mr Lopez had arranged for everyone involved in the case to have security guards around them during work hours and for Apollo to have security 24/7 as he was the lead lawyer in this case. He said the other mafia liked to play dirty and that had me worried but Apollo ensured me that he would be fine and texted me often to let me know if he is okay.

Tonight was the supper and I have been keeping this a secret from Apollo and the look on his face when he saw me was worth it. I had decided to wear a sexy low back velvet dress on which Chris raised his eyebrows in approval when we left the house. We were all chatting, waiting for Apollo as he had another meeting before the trial started in a week and when he showed up, his face was comprised of confusion, lust when he saw me and happiness when he saw Dmitri holding Chris' hand.

Dmitri introduced Chris to Apollo and then he turned to me

"Katherine, how...?" I laugh and motion to Chris

"This gorgeous half of the couple is my best friend and roommate" Chris looks at me in shock as he realizes who Apollo actually is after piecing the puzzle together and almost says something he wasn't supposed to as I had obviously told him that Apollo was the guy from Greece who is also my new boss. Before he can put his foot in his mouth I kick him slightly under the table and luckily he understands my signal. We spend the rest of the night chatting and when it was time to go home, Apollo offered to pay for the bill but I refused, saying we were celebrating Chris and Dmitri so I wanted to pay as well.

"How about I get the bill and you can repay me..." he smirks at me and I slap his shoulder lightly, laughing at his active libido. We head outside and see Chris and Dmitri waiting for us. They turn to us, very lovey-dovey and Chris turns to me

"I'm heading over to Dmitri's, so I'll see you tomorrow?" I wiggle my eyebrows, hug them both goodnight and start hailing a taxi when a black car stops in front of me and from behind me Apollo opens the door. I look back at him and he motions for me to get in. I can tell we're on our way to his apartment as he says nothing, just raises the partition as the driver makes his way through the streets and without a second thought, he fiddles with the strap on my dress, lowering it down my shoulder and immediately I straddle him in the back of the car, his hands running up my thighs, my hands tangled in his hair, our lips never leaving each other and for the rest of the night, not much sleep was had either...
