It was the following day after Friday night's less-than-exciting night, and I, along with Leiya and Mariam, decided it would be best to go to a spa and massage place to ease Leiya's mind after last night. "So how are you feeling?" I asked Leiya, seeing the girl put her hair into a high messy bun whilst attempting to keep her towel wrapped around her naked body.
She shrugged, taking a seat in the middle of Mariam and me. "Honestly," She said looking between us, "I was more frustrated than scared. The fact that dudes even think it's okay to just do things like that to women is sick. I was just scared because had Jermaine not noticed, and you guys not have been there, Mariam and I would've been completely out of it. I don't know, it just is awful that we can't even enjoy a night out."
Mariam rubbed the girl's back. Though Leiya would say she wasn't traumatized, that moment had opened her eyes to how creepy and predatory men had been. Regardless of her and Mariam's sexuality, they still felt entitled to them, which was even scarier. "I don't know," She said breathlessly, her skin glistening from the heat of the sauna, "I'm just overall happy that we have each other's backs you know?"
"Forever and always," I said to the girl, watching as Mariam just silently wiped the droplets of sweat from her forehead. Though we lived on two different sides of the sexual spectrum, Leiya and Mariam's relationship was so inspirational. The bond between me and those girls was something I prayed last a long time. We continued to chat, until the door to the sauna opened, and a nice lady came in signaling that she could take all of us in for our massage. Leiya stood up first, and Mariam and I followed suit through the door.
As we exited the opposite door in which we came, we were met with a nice set up of 3 massage tables, a woman beside each waiting for us. "This is just what we needed," Leiya said as she stood beside the middle table before lying down, her robe being lowered to her lower body as they began to massage her, Mariam and I going through the same process.
"No drama, no boys, no anything," I said, sighing as I felt the masseuse's hands knead at my back, "just us relaxing." Leiya and Mariam hummed, all of us falling into a silence mixed with soft hums and groans of calming relaxation until Leiya spoke again. "Anyways," She spoke, turning her head to face me through the hole in the headboard, "You and Jungkook? How's that going?"
"Yeah," Mariam chimed in looking my way as well, "Anything new you wanna talk about? Any advice you need?" I smiled thinking about him, using every muscle in my face to showcase how happy he made me despite the bumps we would sometimes have. "He apologized before bed for snapping on me in the car, I told him he didn't need to, but you guys know how he is. He was very very sweet about it."
"He's so," Leiya said, trying to conjure up the words before Mariam chimed in to help, "So gentle with you." Leiya nodded in agreement, her face twisting up a little as the masseuse began to knead her upper backbone. "There are not many guys like him and Jermaine, so I think it's really cute how gentle he is with you, babe. What's wrong with that?"
