It is the final day at the Sandy Palm Hotel, so I made it my business to go to the spa. I decide to invite Aurelie and Krista, so together, we go down to the Tropical Sunset Spa and Salon. "Oooh, I think you got the wrong massage, Bree," Aurelie wiggles her eyebrows. "Yeah," Krista plays along. "What should I have gotten?" I wonder. Aurelie pauses for a moment, but replies, "The couples massage."
"WHAT?"
"The couples massage... haven't you heard of it?"
"YES, I've heard about it... but why would I get it?"
"Cause you and the prince are in LOOOOOVE!!!" Krista sings.
"No we aren't!" I defend myself. Well, I guess you're wondering what happened after Evan asked me the question during our date. It went from a fun movie night, to a weird truth or dare session, to a serious question. That night, Evan had asked me if I had loved him. Every night, I had pondered about this question. What if one day I wake up as a "lady", and then fall asleep as a "princess"? So... my response to Evan's question was, "I don't know."
Stupid, right? Well... Evan's facial expression was so sad and disappointed, that I just had to make him feel better. "But, I definitely wouldn't mind living with you for the rest of my life," I reassured him, and he then picked me up bridal style and kissed me. The thing is though... I think I love him... I just don't have the guts to tell him.
Anyway, back to the present. "You are sooo in love with him! Don't try to deny it, Bree! We all know you two were meant for each other!" Aurelie waltzes around me, her hair streaming behind her. I shake my head laughing, and we go into the massage room.
After the massage, I go over to the sauna, and as I step in, I breathe a sigh of relaxation. "Ahhh," I close my eyelids, and for a brief moment... I forget about the stress of competition... the stress of Evan... the stress of love. Once I'm done, I get out and wrap a towel around my bare body. The sauna room has men and women, so I try to rush over to the locker room as fast as possible. But it's too late... footsteps are coming towards me, and I walk faster. The guy must think that I'm dressed, but in reality... I'm just in a robe.
I turn around to see Evan. Right when he spots me, his face turns as red as a tomato. "I-I-I'm so so sorry, Bree... I didn't know... I thought... I-" Evan stutters, but I stop him mid-sentence with a firm kiss on the lips. He's taken aback for a moment, but then notices what I'm doing. He grabs my waist and dips me into a passionate series of kisses. His warm lips caress my neck, his gentle breathing calms me. "I changed my mind," I whisper into his ear while he gently nips mine. "About what?" he asks, continuing to embrace me. "About your truth or dare question," I respond. He pulls away for a second, putting his hands on my shoulders. His face is stern now, worried that I'm going to say that I don't love him. But I'm ready to prove him wrong.
"I do love you, Evan. And I would be perfectly fine being a princess as long as I would be with you."
"You mean it?" his face shone with disbelief and happiness.
"I mean it," I clarify.
He pulls me into a tight hug before talking softly. "I love you too, Bree."
