Book 2 Chapter 29

Daphne’s Point of View

We had planned on taking two vehicles to the spa, and I was hoping that I would get lucky, and that Melissa would be in the second vehicle. Unfortunately, fate had other plans and we ended up in the same car. I received a little satisfaction that I also had Scarlett, and Lola with us as well. Alma opted to ride with Hannah and Isabella. Caleb was insistent that we take four warriors with us as well. While normally we do not have to worry when we are in the human town, since most of the women with me are Lunas, he wanted to ensure our safety.

It did not take long to get everyone loaded up and on the road. For awhile the car was relatively quiet, then Lola asked the driver to turn on the radio. Instantly there was a pop song blaring through the speakers, and Lola was dancing in her seat singing along to the fast music. Her energy was infectious and soon Scarlett and I found ourselves dancing along too. Melissa sat as still as stone in the front seat, seemingly unfazed by the ruckus.

I felt torn. A part of me wanted to apologize to her for attacking her daughter. I am a Luna, people look to me as a leader, and I feel that I should have held myself better. Another part of me blames her for her daughter’s actions. After all, Melissa is her mother. Her and Noah raised Heather to be an entitled princess. Heather thinks that she can get away with acting however she wants, only this time she learned that her actions have consequences.

We finally reached the spa, and everyone was reading the options available and choosing what they wanted to have done. Hannah and Isabella decided to get manicures and pedicures first, followed by facials. Alma opted for a mud bath, facial, and lower body massage. Scarlett decided to get a full body massage, a pedicure, and a facial. Lola decided to get a hot stone massage, manicure, and a chemical peel. That left Melissa and I to decide what we wanted to get done. I was surprised when I found that we had chosen the same things. We both decided to get a full body massage, followed by time in the sauna, and finishing with a facial.

I knew that there was a possibility that it would be awkward, but I assumed that we were there to relax so there should not be too much interaction. We all started to separate as the employees explained where our different stations were located. I headed to the locker room as instructed to undress and put on a robe. Thankfully, the spa had female employees, so I had no reason to worry about the modesty aspect of things. In the locker room it was Alma, Scarlett, Lola, Melissa, and me. Since we were all getting different types of massages, we all needed to undress.

Unfortunately, the locker room did not have individual changing areas, so everyone was going to have to change in front of the others. Nudity is common for our people, so Lola was half stripped before I even got in the room. I did not think about changing in front of the other until I heard Alma gasp and the room went quiet.
