We looked at each other. "Can you give us a moment to decide?"

"Of course. We'll await your decision. Take your time to consider all the services. They all provide maximum relaxation and each have their own unique benefits." They walked away from us with a smile.

"This is so Pretty Woman," Izzy commented as soon as they were out of earshot. She gripped my hand and squealed. "We're living out Pretty Woman."

"Does that make me Julia Roberts?"

"Duh. Hello, we're both Julia Roberts. I have no idea what we should do first. We could get facials; I've never done that. We could get a massage; I desperately need one of those." She wriggled her brows at me. "Or we could get waxed. Alexander would probably love that."

I pushed her away with a laugh. "Let's do that."

"The waxing?"

"No. The massages. I need one too. My whole body is killing me."

"I can imagine. After the night you spent with Alexander."

A giggle escaped me. "Shut up."

We called Olive and Dora back and informed them of our choice. They led us past the front room and deeper into the building.

"The ground floor is used for the spa, while upstairs is our boutique," Dora informed us as we walked past many closed doors. There were employees in front of each of the doors. They greeted us as we passed by.

We were taken to the door at the end of the hall. Large double doors that both women opened so Izzy and I could enter. Inside were two spa beds that were stark white. Laid over the beds were towels and around the room were different oils and other equipment.

The entire room was lit up by numerous candles that cast the room in a golden orange glow. From the sweet smell of jasmine in the air, I knew they were scented candles.

"Please take off all your clothes and lay down on the beds. The masseuse will be here in just under ten minutes."

"This place is amazing," I said to Izzy once we were alone. I slipped off the sleeves of my dress and she took off her top.

"Tell me about it. It's so beautiful. And did you see that row of people out there just greeting us as we passed? We're being treated like royalty or something."

"It's so nice." I rolled my neck once I finished getting undressed. "I can't wait to get a massage. I really do need one."

Izzy slipped onto one of the beds and under the towel. She propped herself up with her elbows. "Tell me about it." She grinned at me. "Also tell me more about Alexander."

"I already told you everything," I told her as I laid down on the second bed.

"You didn't say if you guys were a couple now. I mean I figure you are, because well," she gestured around us, "all this, but I would like confirmation. Tell me, are you officially dating or still just messing around?"

"It feels pretty official to me, I mean what do you think?"

The squeal she released had to have been heard across the entire spa.

"That's so exciting. Good for you." Before we could say anything else, two women entered. I assumed they were the masseuses.

"Good morning, ladies," one of them greeted. "Would you prefer full body massages, deep tissue massages or hot stone massages?"

"Full body," Izzy and I replied at the same time. They nodded and began grabbing the different oils.

"Please lay face down and breathe deeply."

I did as I was instructed and closed my eyes. She started with my shoulders. I felt some drops of heated oil on them and then small, yet strong hands began smooth strokes along my shoulder blade.

Gentle pressure was applied to the muscle as she gradually worked her around my neck and to the other shoulder.

Her hands were warm in the cool room, and she eased out the tension in my body expertly. The palms of her hands dug into my back as well as the relaxing tips of her fingers.
