Things I can't forget

Killing an innocent

"Hey Juliet I thought it would be nice if we could do something together today," Rebecca said before poking her head in the bedroom door.

"Oh um," I stumbled for words as Rebecca's eyes landing on a very shirtless Sam lying on my bed and a partially naked me straddling him. "Sam just had some muscle pain," I said rushed feeling my face go redder by the second and I got off of him.

"That defiantly explains the lack of clothes," Rebecca rolled her eyes sarcastically.

"Sorry," I mumbled looking down feeling really embarrassed as I pulled a nightshirt over my head and chucked Sam his top. "What was it you were thinking of us doing?" I said trying to change the subject as fast as I could.

"I was going to suggest going to the salon to get out hair and nails done or going for a spa day but since you're busy maybe another day."

"Don't re schedule!" Sam exclaimed. "I was just leaving anyways and-".

"You were?" I asked surprised. This was the first I had heard of this.

"Juliet has nothing planned for today so you two should go treat yourselves," he urged looking at me with a pointed look.

"Yeah, Sam's right we should go," I said forcing a smile onto my face. Sure Rebecca was trying to be the mother she was supposed to have been for my entire seventeen years of my life but things weren't going so well. This wasn't a movie where they could say they'd do something and automatically change. Things took time and with our situation it took quite a lot of time. We were making progress here and there but things were still awkward.

"Okay, great!" She cheered exiting the room closing the door behind her.

"Why did you go and say that for?" I slapped same chest.

"Because," he said grabbing my hands and kissing them. "You can both go and do some bonding together. Talk about girl stuff and just have fun."

"Well I was rather fine just having fun with you..."

"And now you'll have even more fun with your mother," he smiled down at me.

"It's going to be impossible to have fun with Rebecca. I can't even remember the last time just the two of us did something together to have fun. Please don't make me go," I pouted.

"You're going Juliet so go get yourself ready."

"I feel so relaxed and so energised," Rebecca said opening the car door.

"I know right," I said as I got in. "Who knew there were so many different types of steam rooms."

We had just finished our day at the spa. The drive there was a long fourth minutes but oh was it worth it.

First we got full body massages which were unbelievably amazing. According to the lady who was massaging me I had a lot of built up tension but she got rid of it for me by helping me loosen up and relax. We had then gotten facials which left my face feeling incredibly smooth as a babies bottom. The place was huge and had twenty different steam rooms each one being from a different culture.

We stayed in each steam room as long as we could sit on the seats. Each seat in the seam rooms varied there were ones made from wood, tile and marble. Your bare skin burned as you say down but after a few seconds your body gets used to it. After a few minutes you would sweat like crazy.
