There, that answer should keep me out of hot water on both ends…
I relaxed when both women smiled at my response, then gasped and gawked when I saw where we were pulling in.
It was a large, gorgeous, luxury hotel.
“We’re going here?” I asked, thinking maybe we were turning around or something.
“Yeah, best spa in town,” Mama answered as she pulled into the parking garage.
“It has to be really expensive,” I mused, thinking Cade had spent way too much.
“It is,” Alani agreed, then said, “But they have a local’s discount. Plus, one of our Aunties owns the place, so we always get a really good deal.”
“Oh, awesome,” I said, feeling less guilty as my excitement returned. “I hope I get a masseuse with strong hands.”
Cade’s mom laughed, then led the way out of the parking garage and into the stylishly decorated lobby. “I don’t know how good strong hands will feel with all of your bruises.”
“She can work around them.” At least, I hoped she could, because I really, really wanted a massage. “I wonder if they have a hot tub. That would feel amazing right now.”
“They do,” Alani replied. “And, their facials are the best.”
“However will I choose?” I pondered, wondering if I could get one of everything.
“Oh my god, I could really get used to this,” I moaned as I lowered myself into the steaming water.
I’d just finished getting a massage to end all freakin’ massages, and was feeling completely boneless and happy. I closed my eyes as the warmth enveloped me and leaned back against the wall of the hot tub.
This place was divine.
We’d been greeted at the door with a chilled glass of mango guava juice, then were led back to the dressing room where we were given lockers, robes, and slippers. My first order of business was the massage, so I’d taken off my clothes, except my panties, and put on the robe and slippers.
After my glorious massage, I’d gone back to the locker room to change in my bathing suit and relax in the hot tub until my facial appointment. When I’d arrived, Alani was already in the water, but her mom was nowhere to be seen.
“What’s your mom getting done?” I asked, not opening my eyes.
“I think she’s doing the mud bath thing right now. I just finished with my facial, and am going to get a mani and pedi next. I’m thinking I’ll do some sort of blue and gold combo … my school colors.”
“Hmmm, maybe blue with gold tips or something,” I suggested, starting to doze.
“Yeah, that’d look pretty cool,” she said, her voice sounding far away as I drifted off.
I woke with a start to Cade’s mom calling my name and someone putting a hand on my shoulder. When I sat up and opened my eyes, I looked up to see one of the spa workers looking down at me.
“Your next appointment is ready, Ms. Lila,” she said sweetly. “You must get changed.”
I nodded sleepily and rose from the water, then noticed Cade’s mom was relaxing in the tub across from me.
“Did you have a nice treatment?” I asked.
“Divine,” she answered, then sunk lower in the water. “Enjoy.”
The attendant led me back to the dressing room and handed me a towel. Once I was back in my robe and relatively dry, I came out and followed her to the room where I’d be given my facial.
I dozed off again as my face was rubbed with numerous lotions and creams. I left that treatment practically floating, and made my way to the salon where I’d get a mani and pedi.
Boy, my man has certainly hooked me up today!
I was smiling to myself, thinking of the many ways I could repay Cade, when I bumped into his mother.
