Ayva sat in her living room with Violeta and Rachel that afternoon. They were all sipping champagne and giggling as they pored over party planning books and magazines. They had been planning the event for about a week and now that it was happening in less than twenty-four hours, she was filled with series of emotions.
"Okay, so we've got the venue, which is your living room, the food, the music...what's next?" Violeta asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"The decorations!" Rachel exclaimed. “I already spoke with a friend and she is going to be here early in the morning to set up. We need to make sure everything is perfect for your special day, Ayva."
Ayva smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' enthusiasm. "You guys are the best. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Violeta grinned mischievously. “You know we’re not just here for the party planning, Ayva. We're also here to make sure you're prepared for the after-party...if you know what I mean.”
Rachel giggled. "Yeah, we need to get you looking and feeling your best for that anniversary night, Ayva.”
Ayva’s face flushed as her friends began to tease her. "Oh, stop it. You guys are so ridiculous." She rolled her eyes at them, laughing.
Violeta winked. "We're just trying to make sure you have a night to remember. And that includes some mind-blowing s*x with Alex. You need to look your best that night girlfriend because the s*x is going to be bomb! I can assure you.”
Rachel chimed in. "Yeah! You know what I think? I think we need to take you lingerie shopping. We can't have you showing up to the party in some boring old nightgown."
Ayva shook her head and laughed, feeling a little embarrassed but also excited at the prospect of a fun afternoon out with her friends. "Okay, fine. But just one or two pieces, and nothing too crazy.”
“Don't worry, love. We'll make sure you look and feel like a million bucks.” Violeta grinned. “And who knows, maybe you'll even get a few compliments from your hubby."
Rachel winked. “Or maybe you'll just get a few other things from him.”
“You guys are impossible.” Ayva rolled her eyes, laughing, but the idea of a night of some mind-blowing s*x with her husband really excited her.
Violeta drove them to the mall and they walked into the lingerie store, giggling and chatting like they always did as they scanned through the racks.
"Let's get you something sexy," Rachel said, scanning the racks of lingerie. "You’re gonna look spectacular in them.”
Ayva blushed. She couldn't help smiling. She hadn't bought new lingerie in ages, and the thought of surprising Alex with something new and exciting was definitely appealing.
The three friends spent the next hour browsing the store, picking out different pieces for Ayva as she tried them on. Ayva couldn't believe how much fun she was having. She had almost forgotten what it was like to feel carefree and happy.
As they shopped, Rachel chatted and joked, making Ayva laugh and feel at ease. Ayva tried on a beautiful red lace set, and Rachel and Violeta squealed with delight.
"You have to get that one," Sophia said, pointing at the matching bra and panties. "You look absolutely stunning."
“Alex is going to die when he sees you in that, Ava. You look so fuxking sexy!” Violeta gawked.
Ayva blushed, and couldn't deny the excitement she felt at the thought of wearing the lingerie for Alex. She had always loved surprising him with new things, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.
After they finished shopping, Rachel suggested they head to the spa for some pampering. Ayva agreed, and they spent the next few hours getting manicures, pedicures, and massages.
As they sat in the salon, sipping champagne and chatting, Ayva felt a sense of relaxation wash over her. She had really needed to get out of the house and do something for herself. She had been cooped up in the house for too long, and with the event preparation, she hadn’t really had time to take care of herself.
"Thanks for today, Rachel, Violeta.” Ayva said, as they left the salon. "I really needed this."
Rachel smiled and hugged her. "Anytime, Ayva. You deserve it. Now, go home and get some rest so you can think about how you’re gonna surprise Alex with that new lingerie set tomorrow. I'm sure he is going to love it."
Ayva smiled, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. She couldn't wait to see Alex's reaction when she wore the new lingerie.
