Chapter 8 #2
“Xiah, we both had a plan on how last night and today were going to go. Mine was for you to enjoy this suite and let you run up a tab. Go do your spa shit, enjoy your morning, then you can handle your business. Call your girl and let her come do it with you, if that will make you feel better.”
No, definitely not doing that…
I wasn’t prepared to share the details of my night just yet.
“Okay, fine. Your money. But please be advised, I’m going to get every add on and service I can cram into the next four hours.”
“Unless your plan is to buy the spa, then you’re good.”
“I guess I’m having a spa day then.”
“Do your thing. I have some stuff I need to take care of so I’mma head back to my suite.”
“Oh, okay. Well, thanks…”
He cut me off before I could finish my sentence. “Xi, I know this isn’t your thing but please don’t thank me again for my dick.”
“I was going to thank you for my spa day.”
“Nah, your ass was about to be on some ‘appreciate the orgasms’ type shit.”
I was…
“I’m polite. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“There’s a lot wrong with you thanking me for dicking your ass down. Go do your spa shit, Xi.”
“No strings attached.”
He chuckled and lifted from the sofa, bending down and leveling his face with mine. “I already told you how I get down, so if you’re offering to let me eat your pussy one last time before you head out, then I will gladly accept but it’s not necessary.”
Yes, yes, and yes…
But no, I couldn’t do that or I would never leave this man.
“I guess I’m having a spa day.”
Kove seemed determined to grant me a day of pampering, so I decided to go with it.
After putting my shoes on, I left the suite and headed to the fourth floor where the spa was located.
As soon as I entered the beautiful lobby decorated with bamboo plants, abstract etched glass, and lavender accents, I made my first stop at the tiny shop that offered branded items for Oasis.
I grabbed a hoodie, sweat bottoms, and a tee because they were made from the softest cotton I’d ever experienced in life and smelled like lavender.
I picked slides and a robe. Next I added a gel eye mask and a satin one just to be extra before moving to the counter with my oversized lavender canvas tote the sales associate placed all of my items in after I paid by my name and suite number.
Once I was done in the shop, I made my way to the counter of the spa and picked the platinum elite package which was an hour long-massage, forty-minute facial, and detoxifying clay bath, followed by a steam treatment.
The last of my day was a mani pedi which I was currently enjoying with a tray of fresh fruit, champagne, and bite sized pastries.
Each time I ordered something and charged it to the room, I held my breath, waiting for them to deny me. However, it never happened.
By the time my ass was planted in the comfy leather seating to get my mani pedi, I had racked up a couple grand worth of treatments, and all they did was smile and tell me to let them know if I needed anything else.
If this was what being rich and famous felt like, I could certainly get used to it. The thought reminded me that I had been married to a pro athlete and never had he ever splurged on stuff like this for me or gifted anything close to this… Asshole.
I was currently dressed in my comfy, lavender, oversized sweats while the woman assigned to me performed a deep massage from my toes up to my calves.
She had just completed the French manicure on my toes while the woman she was paired with cleared her station after providing me with a French manicure on my nails.
Yep, I’m totally sold on the luxurious life…
When I heard my phone chiming with a call, I popped a grape into my mouth and motioned toward the table next to me where my tote was.
“Hey, would you mind grabbing that for me?”
The woman smiled and wiped her hands on a towel before digging my phone out of the tote and handing it to me. She immediately went back to running her fingers under the bottom of my foot and up my ankles in a way that had me releasing an appreciative moan before I answered.
“I’m alive and well.”
“I know you are, friend. You’re also still at The Metropolitan, which means you had a great night. So how was the dick?” Koa asked, making me drop my eyes to the woman running her knuckles along the arch in my foot.
“The best I’ve ever had.”
“Oh shit, I didn’t think you’d actually do it. This is a proud friend moment. Aww, Xi, you’re all grown up.”
I grinned, rolled my eyes ,and carefully selected my wording so the woman below me wouldn’t know what I was discussing. “This is not my first one.”
“I do believe it’s your first one since college and one night stands with broke ass, dick slinging CFU ballers versus a very rich, sexy dick slinging Royals baller are two very different experiences, friend.”
“You’re right, the CFU baller only has D to prove his worth, whereas the Royals player has his money, status, and D as a bonus. He doesn’t have to sling as hard to keep a smile on your face.”
“Wait, you said best you ever had. Was the dick trash but he made up for it with his black card?”
“Definitely wasn’t trash. I’m just making a point that when slinging is all you have, it’s possible that the sling is a little more convincing, that however, was not my case.”
“Bitch, what the fuck are you saying, the dick was good or not?”
“Well worth it, friend. Top shelf. Ten stars. I highly recommend.”
“My girl. You make me proud but now tell me why you’re still there.”
“How do you know I’m still here?”
“Girl you know I checked your location before I called. You’re still there.” The woman working on my pedi gently yanked my sweats down my legs one by one and lifted the slides I purchased onto the padded section of the station for me to slide my feet into because she was done.
“Hang on, Koa.”
I removed the phone from my ear. “Can I tip and add it to the room?”
“Not necessary. Thirty percent is added to each service.”
“Oh. Well, thank you so much.” I lifted from the chair and wiggled my toes as I looked down at them to admire her work. “It’s perfect.”
“Please come back and see us.”
Ehhhh… At these prices.
Probably won’t….
“I sure will. Today was much needed.”
“Okay I’m back,” I said to Koa as soon as I stepped out of the Oasis salon into the lobby of the spa. I pushed through the glass door and made my way to the elevator.
“Who were you tipping? What are you doing?”
“I just left the spa. I decided to stay and treat myself after the sale I made but Kove insisted on letting me celebrate on his dime. He rented me a suite last night and put his card on file for me to rack up a tab which I did…”
“Wait, are you sure the dick wasn’t trash?”
I laughed. “No, the dick wasn’t trash. I mean it. Best I ever had. A man with a big dick doesn’t impress me. A man with a big dick he’s skilled at using is a unicorn. I experienced my first unicorn, Koa, and I’m ruined.”
“Well damn. Let me not even waste my time telling you about my night.”
“Wait, was the dick trash?”
“I don’t know because we didn’t get that far. His tongue and fingers are very skilled. The rest he’s going to have to work for.”
I frowned as I stepped into the elevator. “So you were pushing me to hand over my coochie for free but making another man work for yours? I feel violated, Koa.”
She laughed hard. “Booski, my coochie gets far more action than yours.”
“You know what, this conversation is going very awkwardly wrong. I’m about to head home. Dinner tonight?”
“Yeah, boo. Share your ride.”
“I will. Love you, friend.”
“Love you more.”
I scheduled an iDrive, requested a female driver, and waited in the lobby for it to arrive.
As soon as she arrived, I shared the drive with Koa.
When I settled into the backseat of the SUV, I turned my head just in time to see Kove step into view as a woman walked past the car I was in, heading right to him.
He hugged her and they fell in step heading to the elevators, and just like that, the best night of my life ended with a reality check. I knew nothing about this man. That woman could have been his girlfriend, jump off, or hell, another somebody he felt like treating to a spa day.
Even if she wasn’t, I had no business with him because like he so clearly stated, he didn’t need a distraction and I would definitely be one. Good, bad, or indifferent, we had fun, but now it was time for me to get back to minding the business that paid me.
