Remembering Our Dance |Shelax|

Chapter 31

Long chapter.

Shelby

Liz and I were in the back of the car.

Em was in front of me and Addie was in front of Liz.

Sasha was in the front passenger seat and Alesa was driving.

Since Alesa was driving, someone else had to hold Mason.

And that person was me.

He was only 5 months old, so I cradled him like a baby and slowly rocked him back and forth.

"So where are we going?" Liz asked.

"First, we are going to a spa, for a semi full spa treatment." Alesa announced.

"Ooh, nice." Addie said.

"Yup, and it'll take a few hours." Alesa responded.

"What are we doing after that?" Em asked Alesa.

"It's a surprise."

I smiled.

Mason made some cute noises and I awed along with everyone else in the car.

I picked Mason backup and made him sit on my leg, occasionally bouncing my leg.

"Shelby, you're a natural at this." Em said.

"Why thank you." I was flattered. "I have cousins that I had to baby sit."

"Like Ross?" Liz asked.

"Basically." 

Everyone laughed.

"But, Ross is only a few years younger than me, so it was other cousins."

We walked into the spa and it was so pretty.

"Alesa, do you want Mason back, or do you want me to keep holding him?"

"Could you hold him? It's been awhile since I've been away from him, and I want to enjoy it as much as I can. Don't get me wrong, I love him, but it's good to get away from your child for a little bit."

I laughed. "It's fine. I love holding him. He's so cute!"

Alesa walked up to the front desk.

While she was talking, the rest of us talked.

"Shelby, you're so good at holding him!"

"Thanks."

"Could I hold him?" Liz asked. 

"You'd have to ask Alesa, but I'm good with it."

"Okay." Liz said. "I'll ask later on."

"Alrighty, girls! Follow me!" A voice said.

"Guys, over here." Alesa said.

We all followed the girl to a mani-pedi station.

***

It was around 2 when we were done.

I got my finger nails painted a pinkish maroon color, and my toe nails painted a full maroon color.

All of us got a massage, just at different times.

Liz also got to hold Mason while Alesa and I got our massages.

We all huddled back into the car in the same spots.

I was holding Mason again.

"Where are we going now?"
