More Than a Soldier

Chapter 36 - Two Years

Scarlett's POV:

I can't believe that I have been together with Y/n for two years now. Today is our anniversary and we're heading for an overnight stay at the Four Seasons Hotel and Spa. This was part of my birthday present from Y/n and I'm so happy that we decided to wait and use it for this weekend.

It's Sophie's last week here so she's happily looking after Ava back home whilst Y/n and I spend the time pampering ourselves and completely relaxing. We have a number of treatments booked as well as planning to spend time in the different spa rooms and pool.

The whole journey there I'm excited to be spending some dedicated time with Y/n. We don't get a lot of it, so I plan to make the most of it. Thankfully we have both early check in and late check out. So, we're making the most of the whole time that we have. When we reach the hotel, we check in and head up to our room. We don't waste anytime in getting ready for heading down to the spa for the start of our weekend.

I've just finished slipping on my bikini when Y/n comes out of the bathroom in hers with a robe over the top. She's not done it up so I can see my favourite view. My bottom lip finds it's way between my teeth and I stalk my way over to my perfect fiancé. "I can't wait to get you back to the room later." I tell her in a sultry voice as my hands find their home on her hips, pulling her towards me. She chuckles and leans down and places a soft kiss to my lips. "Me either. Though I think we may undo all the hard work at relaxing." She jokes. "Worth it." I mumble as I lean in, already missing the feeling of her lips against mine.

"As much as I want to stay here with you, we have our facial to get to." She tells me with a hint of disappointment in her voice. I laugh at her child like pout and kiss it away. She grabs my robe from the bed and holds it open for me to slip on. I spin around and give her another peck. "Thanks babe." I smile and grab the spa slippers too.

We make our way to the spa and at reception are greeted by two young women. "Good morning and welcome to the Four Seasons Spa and Wellness Centre. Please can we take the name of your booking?" The smaller of the girls ask. "Hi, of course. It's under Y/n Y/l/n." Y/n greets in return, her hand firmly wrapped around mine. "Ah, here we go. We've got the weekend package and some treatments booked I see. If you come to reception 10 minutes before you dedicated treatments, we can guide you to the right location. Otherwise, you're free to use all the facilities as you please." She explains, handing over two wrist bands to us. "Enjoy your stay." The receptionist says. "Thank you. We will." Y/n responds, looking at me with her crocked grin.

She helps to secure the wrist band on me and then takes my hand to lead us through to the lockers where we leave our robes and slippers. We then go back to reception, and they direct us to where we'll be having our facials done. Y/n has booked all the treatments as couple sessions which I love as I don't think I want to be away from her too long. Though we're both so relaxed within about 5 minutes of the facial starting that we barely talk to each other as our bodies slowly let go of all the stresses.

Y/n has gone for the hyrdafacial whilst I decided upon having the urban detox to help clean and repair my skin. All the make up that I end up wearing for filming takes its toll on my skin and this is going to help perk it up. "You know, I would love to start my own skin care line." I share with Y/n as we sit with out face masks on. She turns her head to the side to look at me and I laugh at how she looks with her purple face mask. "Really? What made you want to do that?" She questions and I nod.

"I've always struggled with my skin, and I never find the right products. But what actually made me think about it was when I saw your small number of products compared to mine. Your skin is great, but you don't have to use a lot. I have all these different serums and stuff, but it still takes a lot of work." I explain and she nods along. "I would love to create a simple and healthy skin care routine. Something that's good for the skin and the environment." I add on and Y/n smiles. "What?" I ask, unsure why she's chuckling lightly. "I love when you talk about something passionately. I think you should do it." She encourages me. "You do?" I question in shock, and she nods again. "Why not? I'm sure you'd have the contacts to be able to do so." She replies.
