Love not Lost

Chapter14

Such a soothing and serene environment. There was plenty of calm music and scent diffuser in the background, plentiful natural lights, the furniture is minimalist and clean-lined, and presents of natural materials like plants and fountains.

I and Angela walked towards the receptionist we were greeted with a warm smile. I was about to speak with the receptionist when Felicia came out in a button-up pink shirt and a white fitted skirt with a flat transparent heel shoe

“Come in guys,” Felicia said ushering us in

“Hi baby girl”

“Hello Felicia,” Angela said hugging her

“You have a lovely place I must say,” I said looking around the place with my hand akimbo and my bag in my other hand

“You definitely do,” Angela said grinning

“Thank you,” Felicia said blushing “Okay ladies let's get to it,” she said gesturing to us to follow her

“Okay, lead the way,” I said clapping my hands excitedly

I looked over at the receptionist and she smiled again.

We were led into a room to have our clothes changed into a fluffy white clean robe, our hair wrapped in a white towel also, and pink slippers.

We went into the massage room the masseuse helped lay us down.

As soon as the masseuse's hands touched me, my body was so calm like the ocean, I can’t even remember the last time, I went for a massage. This is what I needed, my body prayed for Felicia.

We had massage facials, a hot tub, and nail service.

After the aromatherapy and holistic healing, I felt so much at ease. We lay down with our back beside the pool with snacks and a fruit drink beside us, soaking in the ambiance, life feels so good and I live with no worries at the moment.

Meeting these two graceful women, wasn’t what I saw coming, this friendship came to me at a platter of gold. Ever since I met Felicia and Angela my life felt a lot better, it feels very good to have people around me, I do not know how long this will last but I do not want it to end soon, and am not taking them for granted.

“I feel so much alive,” Angela said stretching her body

“I feel the same too” Felicia added

“You own this place you should be having this treatment always,” I said

Felicia shrugged her fashionably bony shoulders and sipped her water. “It's not even like that, I can actually count the times that have had this kind of treatment”

“You don’t mean it, if I had a place like this I would be so happy, I’d be relaxed all the time, no stress,” I said snapping my fingers

“Am not okay, if there is few clients to tend to, am most stressed when this place is empty, I can’t even be at peace if am not making sales. As soon as I realized am booked am happy and relaxed with no measure”

“Okay, I get you, even me as a therapist sometimes or even most times am emotionally drained,” Angela said raising her brows

“Even though, have not been giving myself this treat often Honestly, it feels so good to do this and with you guys,” Felicia said beaming

“Awn am happy too”

“It's nice to have you guys, I must say too” Angel added

“My mother raised me alone, she was a stay-at-home mum when my father left her with nothing, she practically struggled so much to raise me, I don’t want that for myself. That's why I work so hard to care for myself, I want too be an independent woman” Felicia said

“You are an independent woman already,” I said holding her hands

“I know all about it, taking care of Jessie alone right from when she was still in my womb till date is a lot of hassle. I was befuddled, I had no support at all, and it was emotional and financially draining maybe if I had my parent my life would have been a lot easier” Angela said sadly

“We are so sorry sweetheart,” Felicia said hugging her while I stood up to do the the same

“Life is just full of misery my dear,” I said going back to my seat “As humans we are always caught unaware most times. I’d made sure I got a job that would enable me to work from home because I wanted to be a stay-at-home mother, I wanted a large family but look at me now, have tried to get pregnant but to no avail. Whatever, it is what it is” I said laughing so hard, I sipped from the drink in my hand. They were both silent looking at me “We shouldn’t wallow in self-pity, we just pushed the negative energy out of our body, we should relax and have fun”

“We are all going to be alright, that's for sure, one way or the other everyone has their own problem. We should make utmost use of this moment since we all have something to be grateful for” Angela said smiling

“Talking about something to be grateful about. We should talk about you and my neighbor. You got a fine-looking man that’s so f*****g rich” Felicia said snapping her fingers

Angela laughed using one hand to cover her mouth “He is a nice-looking man, I must say but I didn’t even know he was that rich until he came here and he was doing a lot with money.”

“You are so lucky, you don’t have to worry about money anymore,” Felicia said

“You guys look so good together, you guys compliment each other so well” I added

“I hope it works out well between us”

“I really hope it does, he has suffered a lot in his relationships, he just get into relationships without much thinking and then he eventually finds himself in the middle of the ocean,” I said

“Angela, did you know he wanted to buy a house as soon as he got here, I had to stop him and tell him to just rent an apartment later, I never knew he was going to get an apartment that soon”

“Am not surprised, that's typical Micheal for you, he does things impulsively” I said with a mouth full of walnuts

“Am saying it again, you are so lucky and don’t have to worry about money, you found your Prince Charming” Felicia said fantasizing

“You have your own Prince Charming too, James is an extremely handsome man,” Angela said

“Am just going with the flow for now, I don’t want to get hurt, am still

pained a little for what my ex did to me but the s*x is awesome guys” Felicia said excitedly

“Wow! That's interesting tell me more about it” I said keenly

“He is extremely hot and knows how to make my body quiver, I think I love him but am so scared”

“If the s*x is that good plus caring and loving, you do not have the choice you would eventually admit you are in love,” I said

“I don’t even know how to say this, have been abstaining from s*x for three years but I and Nicholas had s*x for the first time yesterday”

Felicia and I started screaming excitedly, Angela just looked at us in awe slurping her fruit juice

“Girl, that so exciting, it must feel like you are having s*x for the first time,” Felicia said

“It does feel like that, have been fantasizing about it, but then it was more than I’d imagine,” Angela said faking shyness

We screamed again

“Can you guys just keep it down, I shouldn’t have told you guys anything”

“But you did,” I said laughing “am happy you guys found each other” she answered mouthing thank you

“This is enough fun that could last one for a lifetime, honestly,” Felicia said relaxing back in her seat

“It feels really good to have you guys,” Angela said holding our hands

“Yes, so much excitement for one day, we should do this more,” I said

“Definitely we are, it your birthday soon we going to have lots of fun together,” Felicia said

“Yay,” I said excitedly “and after the birthday, are we still going to have more fun together

They both looked at each other and chorused “Yeees”
