Speaking of that, I need to check my email. I wonder if I can figure out the combination to that damn safe. I hope everything is going ok back at the office. If I could just get my phone and check to make sure, then I would be able to enjoy myself more.
“Lucy, I am going back to our room and Kara and Scott are leaving,” says Drey interrupting my thoughts. Everyone has finished eating and I realize I have spent the entire evening thinking about Mason.
“I’m coming too,” I say a little flustered. “Let me just grab my purse.” We walk back to the room exhausted from flying all day. I take a quick shower and climb into bed. As I lay there, I try to sort out my feelings for Mason which is more difficult than it should be.
Maybe Kara is right. Maybe he will go back to normal and he’ll act like the man I fell in love with. He used to make me feel like I was the only girl on the planet when we were together. We definitely fought but we never went to bed angry. I miss those times.
If I wasn’t so busy with work, I would have been sad that I lost my best friend. But, being the work-a-holic that I am, I didn’t even pay attention to my emotions, or his emotions for that matter. Now that I reflect on it, I sound like a self absorbed bitch. My work was more important than my marriage. But I wasn’t the only one who let things go. Mason stopped trying too.
And now I am marrying him again. I really got myself into a ridiculous situation when I hit him in the head but I think the satisfaction of hitting him may have been worth it. I wouldn’t recommend it for other upset wives, but, man did it feel good.
I close my eyes trying to push memories of Mason out of my head. I have to put up with him during the day so I definitely don’t want to dream about him.
Kara, Drey and I all walk into the spa early the next day. The lobby of the spa is decorated in lavender and turquoise. It smells like lavender too. The dress I have on is all white sheer lace. My swim suit underneath is a dark purple. I don’t know if it’s the lavender calming me down but I feel refreshed and ready to relax at the spa.
“So, I booked us hour massages and then we will have lunch here at the spa pool,” I say as we change into white robes in the dressing room. The room has hard wood floors, plush chairs next to the windows and it is lit only by the bright sun. We put our clothes in a locker and sit in the chairs by the window waiting until our massage room is ready.
“What’s the plan after lunch?” Drey asks.
“I was thinking mud baths would be nice,” I say looking out at the view of the beach. It really is peaceful here.
“That sounds amazing,” Kara smiles. “I have never had a mud bath but I have heard they are to die for.”
“Mason and I got them when we were here for the wedding last time and they actually have four tubs in one room so I thought we could reserve a room for the three of us so we could chat,” I say excitedly. The spa is one of my favorite parts of vacation and I need all the relaxation I can get on this trip.
“Ladies, right this way,” says the tall slender woman in a black skirt and blazer that checked us in at the front desk. Her heels clank against the floors as she shows us to our room.
The room has three massage beds that face a wall with floor to ceiling windows. The view overlooks the pool and the beach is in the distance. The woman instructs us to get comfortable on the beds and tells us that our treatment will start soon. We take our clothes off and lay stomach down on the beds. There are white fluffy towels by the beds that we used to cover ourselves from the waist down.
“I feel so exposed,” Kara laughs as she struggles to get the towel to stay on her lower half.
“I just hope we get don’t get Birtha, Gretta, and their charming boy/girl sibling Ox like we did last time, Drey snorts remembering our last experience together at the spa. “They were good with their hands but not
