*:kkxG0fig's POV*Fkkx

Heading into the spa, | smile shyly at the older lady behind the reception desk who beams back at me.

"Are you two looking for streatments for couples?" She smiles, as my eyes widen at hearing her asswe

were a couple.

| wasn't exactly sure what this was, other than enjoying each other's company... but to label us as a couple, it

felt... strange.

"Not forI'm afraid, I'm stepping out for work. The lady however, can | leave her here in good hands?" Vincent

questions in a charming tone which causes the woman to chuckle and nod in agreement.

"Of course you can, there ain't nowhere better for her! Do you have streatments in mind sweetie?" She

turns her attention tofully as I lift up the booklet that remained in my hands and swallow before speaking.

"Uh yeah, | would quite like to try an arm and hand massage, maybe feet too? | would have gone for the back

but..." | trail off, not wanting to give her the wrong idea by saying that Vincent accidentally kneedin the ribs.

"She has an injury on her stomach so won't be able to lay flat." Vincent steps in to explain as the woman perks

up with an idea.

"Not to worry, we have a special chair for anybody in your position that leans you forward just enough so that we

can do the back, arms and hands sitting up." She chimes, surprisingas | smile and nod at the idea that

sounds great. "Excellent, is there anything else? | recommend the rainfall room to finish off your experience."

The woman suggests, as | try to think back on whether or not | had seen what she was talking about in the

brochure. "The rainfall room?" | repeat, as she nods and prepares to explain what it is.

"It's a little private room, you get a forty minute session and it's basically to replicate the rain falling around you

as you relax on the comfortable memory foam bed." She explains, as | agree that it sounds lush. "Let's do that

too!" | smile, as she clicks away on her computer before moving out from behind the desk.

"Right this way then ma'am!" She ushers forto follow her, as | turn to look up at Vincent who quickly plays in

to the whole ‘couple’ look by leaning down to peck my lips which leavessurprised.

He chuckles knowing that he had embarrassed me, before he handsthe room key which | put into my bag for

safe keeping along with my phone.

"I won't be too long, enjoy yourself!" He states finally, as | say a quick goodbye and follow the nice woman

through into the spa.

Leaving Vincent felt strange, since it felt as though | had spent so much twith him recently - | almost felt sad

that he would have to go...

Passing through into the back, | see a couple of other ladies - older than myself who seemed like the ideal 'rich

housewife’ types as they sipped at their Prosecco and chatted in their robes around a sparkling fairy light

covered pool. | smile shyly at them on passing but they payno mind, too lost in their own tic

conversations to care.

"Here is a robe for you to wear and sslippers!" The lady handsthe stuff from the shelf, new with tags as

I thank her and head in to the female changing area as instructed where | can leave my bag and things in a

locker. | keep my underwear on, pulling the soft robe over the top before tying it, with it being oversized ever so

slightly which I enjoyed.

Hopefully | can keep this after today...

| decide to take my phone, placing it inside of the robe pocket before leaving everything else behind in the locker

for safe keeping. Heading back out, | am then taken to the first room where another woman is waiting, who

smiles and stands to shake my hand. "Welcome! Is it for a back, arms, hands and feet massage sitting up

today?" She asks as | nod and the other lady leavesin her hands.

The overall experience so far was beautiful, with there being relaxing music playing in the background and the

scents of natural oils filling the air.

The lady asksto sit down on the chair which | found surprisingly comfy as it angledforward without

touching my stomach at all.

"You have a little bruise at the top of your neck, will I just work around that area?" She asks gently, as | almost

scream when remembering | had also been punched last night by Daryl.

We were over here thinking about my stomach but | hadn't even seen or thought about what the back of my

head looked like!

"Oh uh, I'm sorry | forgot all about that! Is it bad?" | whisper gently, as she reassuresthat it was only minor

and that she can easily avoid it during the treatment.

| was glad that everyone here was so warm and welcoming, since | had never done anything like this before. |

had been to a spa one twith my Mom when | was younger, but even that didn't compare to this place! The

lady takes her tworking her magic, releasing every knot and stiffness to my skin with ease - nearly sending

I lose track of time, relaxing fully and almost forgetting about the world around- lost in my bubble of pure

bliss.

After a while, she finishes up, as | smile lazily and thank her to which she chuckles and givesa little bow

before exiting the room to letfix my robe.

Once | am organised and can bring myself to stand on my feet in my relaxed state, | head back out to be guided

to the rainfall room next which to my surprise is breathtakingly gorgeous - its walls representing a rainforest.

"Enjoy!" The lady nods, before exiting the room and leavingin complete peace.

This was wonderful!

I climb up onto the plush bed in the centre of the room, the water features falling down to resemble the rain

aroundas | sigh - losing complete track of time. Maybe | should check my phone...

Pulling it out from my robe slowly, | notice another missed call from Emma but nothing from Vincent yet. It was

after nine, and | knew his meeting was scheduled for eight so it had only been an hour.

Clicking quickly, I decide to call back my friend knowing that she must be worried sick about- yet here | was,

laying in a blissful spa away from every and any danger known to man.

Who would have seen this in my future weeks ago when | was quite literally at rock bottom?!

"SOFIA?! YOU SAID YOU WOULD CALLWHEN YOU GOT THERE!" Emma yells down the phone, her tone

tic and concerned as | chuckle slightly.

Daryl has filled her head with God only knows what stories!

"Emma listen, I'm totally fine! I'm currently at a spa that Vincent sentto whilst he's gone. It's so amazing, |

haven't been on my phone but everything's ok!" | assure her quickly.

"Daryl said that Vincent hit you, is that true?! Sofia you can't just forgive him that fast just because he took you

to a spa! Are you ok? Does it hurt? You should have calledlast night!" She babbles, as | suddenly groan at

the mention of Daryl.

Daryl was being way out of line lately - something that | couldn't quite wrap my head around since | didn't

expect this from him in the slightest.

"Did Daryl fail to mention that he also punchedfull force on the back of my head and gavea

concussion?!" | retort, as her gasp practically rips out through the phone.

"HE DID WHAT?!" She screeches, as I sigh knowing | would have to start from the very beginning.

| knew he would have missed that part out....
