Sweetest Dreams

Chapter Four

       

I wake up in the morning and start getting ready for the day of being pampered for my birthday. I pick out a pale pink ruffled short sleeved shirt and a pair of knee-length white cotton shorts. I quickly race through a shower but don't bother with make up or doing anything more than brush my hair and head downstairs to get some breakfast. I pick out a light breakfast of oat meal with some fresh berries and slices of kiwi fruit. Once I've served myself breakfast I take my normal seat at the table and everyone starts bombarding me with happy birthdays. I say a quick thank you to everyone and start eating my breakfast.

"Kayla, here is your itinerary for the day," Ian informs once I have finished my breakfast as he hands me a piece of paper.

"This seems a bit hectic," I tell Ian after looking over the itinerary for the day.

"I know but you have so much to do to get ready for your party tonight that we had to make it hectic like that because otherwise you wouldn't have been able to do all this today but at least you'll get to rest for most of the day and you get pampered. I'm in charge of making sure that the venue is set up perfectly for the party and that everything is going as planned," Ian informs me.

"I guess I do have the better deal in this," I say with a smile as I check my watch. "I better start heading off or I'll be late. It's nine forty-five."

"Well I'll walk you that way," Ian says standing up and falling into step next to me. "I forgot to mention that Isabella will be joining you to make sure that everything stays on schedule."

"That is a good thing because I don't think I'll be able to stay on schedule," I say, grateful for Isabella as she is a great girl and I'll need all the help I can get to keep on time today.

When we arrive at the spa Ian gives a hug and heads off towards the Council's event building to check that the Ballroom is being set up properly. Once he heads off I head into the spa and find out that it has been booked out so that only a couple of people are allowed in because Ian wants my party look to be a surprise for everyone. I am quickly lead into a room in the back with a luxurious massage table as the lady introduces herself as Katerina Bialas. I get ready and climb on the table as the Katerina sets up everything for the massage. I lay there as she starts massaging my upper back targeting the knots near my shoulder blades and kneading the knots out of my back and shoulders. I start to relax into the table as she works the knots out and releases all the tension out of my body. By the time she is finished my body feels like jelly, I stand up, put on a robe and Katerina leads me through to another room that has a table in the centre of the room and indicates that I should lay down and get comfortable while she sets up the lime and ginger salt glow. She fixes everything up and starts doing the treatment just as Isabella shows up.
