Nova POV:
“Oh that was lovely thank you” I say giving the masseuse a wide smile.
“It’s my pleasure Luna” she says holding out a card, “here’s my details if you ever need to relax”
Taking it I grin knowing I will most definitely be using it in the future. Hearing a soft knock at the door before it’s pushed open I turn to see Amelia walk into the room.
“Ma” Mila exclaims rushing to give her a hug. “How are you?”
“Sad but also happy” she admits biting her lip. “I’m sorry to have done that today of all days but I couldn’t deal with it any longer.”
“I know ma” Mila says into her ear. “You look lighter for it” she comments taking a step back and looking at her mother.
“I feel it” she chuckles almost guiltily. “It was time.”
“Are you ready to some fun?” Mila says enthusiastically as she passes her a large glass of wine. Watching Amelia gulp it down I grin.
“If you keep this wine coming then definitely” Amelia says with a soft smirk.
“On it” Alice giggles as she grabs the bottle and refills the glass.
“Oh I love a drunk Amelia” Naomi exclaims clapping her hands.
“Life and soul of the party” Amelia chuckles slightly embarrassed but seemingly grateful for the ladies enthusiasm serving as a welcome distraction.
“Well call me intrigued” I giggle as I take a sip from my own glass. Hearing another knock on the door I open it to see Theo looking around in a panic, once he sees Amelia he visibly relaxes before blushing and clearing his throat. Posted by Jobnib.com; visit us for more free novels.
“Apologies” he says scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment, “I just wanted to check on Amelia but it seems she is quite alright.”
“Thank you Theo” she says giving him a kiss on his cheek, “let Jax know I am right where I need to be.”
“I will..enjoy ladies” he says before quickly pulling Alice in for a passionate kiss and then dropping down to tenderly kiss her growing bump.
“Stay safe” he murmurs to Alice as she blushes.
“Always” she promises looking at him with love before he waves and closes the door for us.
“So sweet” I wink at her as she grins at me. “Who knew the little rat I looked after would grow into such a gentlemen.”
“Rat?” Alice gasps before bursting into giggles.
“I called him it because he was obsessed with ratatouille the movie, honestly I don’t know why but it stuck for a solid year” I say with a shrug.
“I’ll have to remember that” she says smiling mischievously.
“Didn’t hear it from me” I laugh as Flo walks into the room.
“Flo! You missed the massages” I say pulling a sad face.
“I did, sorry Luna” she says sheepishly.
“Border patrol?” I ask.
“Umm..yes..yes border patrol” she stammers as I look at her curiously. Seeing her blush I cock my head at her with a knowing smile. “Ok fine” she exclaims, “I was with Andrew.”
“Say no more” I laugh, as her cheeks stay red she grabs her wine glass and takes a long sip.
“So I was thinking of doing a half up half down hair style for you, but place it over one shoulder to show off your beautiful mark Luna” the hair stylist suggests.
“I like that” I agree enthusiastically.
“Maybe leave some strands down to frame your face” she adds looking at me through the mirror.
“Perfect” I smile.
“And for makeup I think some gold shimmer on your lids. I just want to highlight your natural beauty, so maybe a little contour and blush but nothing heavy” the makeup artist says having a look over my features.
“That sounds great, I don’t like too much on my face” I agree with her.
