《The Boy with the Beautiful Name》Spa
Advertisement
Sara's first stop was the masseuse for her full body massage. It was her favorite place at the spa. The woman helped relieve the tension in Sara's arms, back, and shoulders. She also worked out the soreness in Sara's legs and feet. It was very hard not to fall asleep on the table.
When she was done, the spa attendants applied detoxifying seaweed body mud all over her skin. They wrapped her up, cocoon-style. She was given a face mask and cucumbers over her eyes. And there she rested.
But to her dismay, the face of the boy with the beautiful name clouded her thoughts. She shook her head, and envisioned Kurt's arms wrapped around her in the hot tub. She smiled, feeling much better.
After she rinsed off, the attendants washed and dried her hair. A nail technician was brought in to complete her French mani-pedi. Separately, a hair stylist arrived to give her a blowout.
When Sara left the spa around four, she felt clean and fresh. But only mildly relaxed. Thinking about the boys in her life was stressing her out.
Once Sara was home, Erin and Pam called her. She chatted with them as she got dressed. She shared a few quick snaps of her new gown.
"Oh wow," Pam breathed. "I like your dress so much. You look like an Egyptian princess."
Erin was clapping her hands. "I'm just thankful this one covers so much more skin than that last one. I actually like this gold dress better. It's a bit more flattering on you."
Sara laughed. "Yeah, I feel really great in this dress."
When her friends had hung up, Sara started applying her makeup. She kept it light, since her dress was a light color. But, given that it was now the evening, she added a bit more eyeliner than usual. She quickly brushed her teeth again and coated her lips in a soft pink lipstick. For the finishing touch, she applied a top layer of tasty lip gloss.

From the bathroom cabinet she pulled out her scented, edible tanning lotion. It had lots of sparkles in it to make her arms, shoulders, and legs appear to glow.
As she put on her rings and tiny Tiffany diamond earrings, her phone beeped.
She scrambled over to her bed and picked up her phone.
The message was from Kurt.
-I'm at Prince's house. Ella's already here. I'll pick you up at five-thirty. Sound good? ~Kurt
Sara checked the time on her phone. "What?" she shrieked. She only had ten minutes! She hastily wrote him back.
-Bentley certainly waited until the eleventh hour to plan! Sure, see you soon! ~S
Turning down the music, she made her way to her vanity table. She spritzed her wrists and neck with her favorite Ralph Lauren perfume.
Doing one final spin in the mirror to check that everything was covered and fitted correctly, she stepped into her high heels.
The doorbell rang. "He's early!" Sara cried. She snatched up her clutch and darted down the stairs. As usual, her parents were still out with clients.
The only one to see her off was Trash. She patted the golden retriever lightly on the head.
"Wish me luck, boy!" she whispered.
She fluffed out her hair, and pulled open the front door.
"Hey, Kurt," she said, giggling. She waited for his reaction to her dress.
