“Anything you want, baby. I’m here to serve you.”
A smirk adorned her face as she pecked my lips. “You keep saying that, I’m going to hold you to it when all this is over, so be prepared.”
“Whatever you wish, it’s my command.”
“I’m going to go finish getting dressed. I’ll call my mom to let her know you’re here. And I’m sending this money back to you.”
“And I’ll just send it right back. Let’s not play ping-pong with the money, a’ight? I want you to enjoy your spa day, on me. You deserve it, and with pussy that taste like yours, I know it’s worth every dollar.”
She blushed hard as fuck, then wrapped her arms around my neck, pecking my lips.
“Although I wasn’t expecting you, thank you for coming.”
“Never need that, baby. Just hurry up and sever ties with that bum so I can rightfully take my place.”
She smiled at me, then left the kitchen. When I came here, I felt like I was intruding, but now I was glad I did. It was time for me to turn shit up a notch because I was determined to make Alicia mine.
I walked insideofAbove All Nail & Spa Barand looked around for my cousin. The spa was a place where the upper echelon attended to get whatever services they required for maintenance. The grandiose building sat in its own parking lot and was probably the biggest spa I’d ever seen. With all their amenities, I could see why the high-priced place was well-loved.
I had only been here once with my mom, a little over a year ago, for my birthday. It was the best experience of my life, so I knew I was going to return.
I didn’t see Raeley when I walked inside, but I sauntered up to the front desk to sign us both in, then I took a seat in the lounging area. It was beautifully decorated in soft, pale-pink, gold, and white tones.
A few seconds later, a Caucasian female with strawberry-red hair and blue eyes strutted toward me. She held a champagne flute in her hand, and a bottle of Möet & Chandon Rosé in the other.
“I’m so sorry about not being present to greet you. We’re so busy. Were you able to sign in okay?”
“Yes, thank you.”
“My pleasure.” She set the glass on the table in front of me and popped the cork.
“I’m actually meeting someone?—”
“I’m right here, Cousin. It was an accident on I-696 Freeway,” Rae said, hurrying over to me.
I stood with a huge smile on my face as we embraced. “It’s okay. I’m just happy to see your face. I missed you, Rae.”
“I missed you more, Ali Cat.” We released, and Raeley greeted the host. “Hey, Mandi.”
“Raeley, it’s good to see you again.” Mandi smiled, handing us our champagne flutes.
“Good to be seen. We want the queen treatment package, Mandi.”
I looked at Rae and smiled. The queen treatment package was all the amenities they had to offer—facials, mud baths, yoni steams, the sauna room, a massage, the aroma therapy room, the Jacuzzi, and a manicure and pedicure—all of which would run us at least nine hundred dollars.
I was going to go with the princess treatment, which only consisted of the facial, the Jacuzzi, and the mani and pedi, but Raeley wanted to be a baller today.
“Perfect. Follow me, ladies.” Mandi strutted toward the back, and we followed. She led us to the ladies’ locker room after handing us our robes and towels.
“This is going to be so nice. I’m finally hanging with bestie-boo cousin!” Rae exclaimed in the stall next to mine.
“I know, right? It’s been so long since we did this, and I swear I need it after the shit I’ve been going through,” I admitted.
“I know. That’s why I wanted us to come here. I need this too.” We both stepped out of the stalls at the same time and went to our shared locker. We put our things away and waited for our chairs to open since it was really busy.
I had forgotten how busy they were on the weekends.
“Has Leo been in contact with the kids?” Rae asked while we sat in the plush chairs in the hallway and continued to sip our champagne with strawberries.
