Chapter 84

Vanessa

My day with Sophie started at 10 a.m. and it’s only been an hour since we linked up yet I already feel like this is going to be an unforgettable day. I’m impressed with the activities she settled for. I left it all up to her.

As we step into the spa, the soothing aroma of essential oils wafts its way to my nostrils and I glance at Sophie as I inhale deeply, something which she mirrors in excitement.

“Are you ready to be pampered?” She does a little clap.

I nod with a grin. “Are you?”

“You bet I am!”

First, we head to the sauna, where we giggle and gossip, bonding further than we already have.

“Don’t tell him I said this, but I’m glad I didn’t spend all day with him. I would’ve died.”

We both burst into laughter.

“You know,” she says. “I’ve been to so many spas except this one and so far, I’m not disappointed. We haven’t even gotten to the massages yet!”

“I rarely do things like this, so I can’t really tell,” I admit.

“Well, we can do this more often whenever I have some time. I bet my brother will be jealous.”

“I bet he will.”

“Hey, how do you deal with him mostly being away because of work? I know that recently, he had an emergency. Every time that happens, you don’t see him for a day or two.”

I sigh, leaning against the wall. “I’ve kind of gotten used to it because when he’s around, he makes up for it and it feels like he never left.”

I subtly bite my lip, thinking about the hot sex from the other night when he came out of the elevator and pushed me against the wall.

It’s only when Sophie speaks again that I snap out of it.

“I bet my brother really does make you feel special. With me, he can be extremely annoying, but I know he cares. With you, he’s always gentle.”

I cover my mouth to hide my silent laughter, thinking about how he was such an asshole to me in the beginning and no one knew, except
