Reaching for Happiness

Chapter 17

I opened my eyes to find Aston staring down at me. I yawned and put my hand to my mouth. 

'Morning' I smiled.

'Morning beautiful' he grinned.

'How long have you been awake?'

'An hour maybe.. I got you breakfast' he smiled, holding up a tray with a full English breakfast on it.

'Awww Ast, your too sweet!' I smiled, leaning in for a morning kiss. He placed my tray on my knee after I sat up, and I tucked into my breakfast.

'So, whats the plan for today?' I asked him as I licked my lips.

'Its a surprise' he grinned, wiping a drop of ketchup off my tray and licking his finger. 

'Anything in particular that I'll need today?' I asked him.

'Ooh, yes! You'll need your swimwear.. You did pack some didn't you?' he asked me.

'Of course!' I smiled.

'Good. So, time to get ready then! We should be leaving in about an hour and a half'

'Okay' I smiled, pecking him on the lips and skipping off downstairs with my tray. I washed my plate and cleaned my tray before heading back upstairs to get ready. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before I tied my hair back and put it in a doughnut, and applied minimal makeup. I slipped on my midnight blue bikini and put my jeggings and long jumper over the top. I put some underwear and a towel in my bag along with any other essentials, and slipped on my uggs. 

'Babe, are you ready?' Aston asked, walking into our room.

'Yeah' I smiled. 

'You look gorgeous babe' he smiled, kissing me passionately.

'You don't look so bad yourself Merrygold' I giggled.

'Come on then, time for us to go' he smiled, as he took my hand and lead me downstairs. We jumped into his car, and drove off to our first destination of the day.

After about half an hour, we pulled up onto a tarmacked car park. Aston opened my door for me to get out in a gentlemanly manor. We walked in hand in hand, each carrying a bag. We stood at a reception desk waiting for the receptionist to finish talking on the phone. I looked around the reception; there was a large fish tank and what seemed like a waiting area. There were a pile of leaflets on the reception desk. I picked one up and glanced at it. It read at the top 'Oakwood Spa'.

'Hello, can I help you?' the woman at the desk smiled once she put down the phone. 

'Yeah, I have some treatment booked for Merrygold?' Aston replied.

'Okay, if you'd like to take a seat, someone will be with you in a short while'

We took our seats in the waiting room.

'Is this a spa?' I asked him.

'Yeah' he smiled, kissing my cheek softly.

'Thanks for this' I smiled, resting my head on his shoulder.

'Appointment for Merrygold?' called a man as he walked into the waiting room.

'That's us!' Aston called back.

'If you'd like to follow me this way?' he said, as we stood up and followed him down a corridor, our fingers linked.

'Welcome to Oakwood Spas, I'm Richard, and I'm going to be looking after you today. First of all, to get you relaxed, you can take full advantage of our hot tubs, with free, unlimited champagne' he smiled. 'Here are your bath robes, and the changing rooms are that way. Then if you follow the corridor, it takes you to the hot tubs' he smiled, handing us white fluffy dressing gowns.

'Okay, thanks' Aston smiled, as we walked to the changing rooms. I took off my clothes, leaving me in my bikini, as Aston changed into his swimming trunks. We slipped on our dressing gowns and walked round to the hot tubs. There seemed to be different rooms with different labels; one said Merrygold, so we went through that door. There was a single hot tub with a fridge. Aston opened the fridge and found several bottles of champagne. He poured two glasses, before we stripped down to our swimwear and slipped into the bubbling hot tub. I snuggled up to Aston with my champagne, as we chatted about anything and everything.

Through the rest of the day, we had many other treatments, which were all equally as nice. The spa had a Turkish mud bath, which is supposed to cleanse your skin. We went in, but ended up having a mud fight, much to Richard's annoyance. 

'I had an amazing day baby. Thank you' I smiled, as I kissed Aston when we got into the car.

'Anything for you' he smiled, revving up his engine and driving off. 

When we got back to our cottage, Aston told me we were heading out again for another meal. He headed downstairs for a snack, so I decided to slip on my new underwear to surprise him with later. I quickly put on my outfit over the top before he came dashing back up the stairs. When we were both ready, we headed back out. We had a meal at a little pub on a grassy hill overlooking a river. Just like the Italian restaurant the night before, everything was perfect. We had a little wander before heading back to our cottage. 

'I'm just going to the toilet' I told Aston as he sat on our bed on his phone. I dashed into the bathroom and slipped off my clothes, leaving me in my underwear. It was lacy and red, with a major push up bra. I leaned on our door frame of our bedroom, staring right at Aston. He didn't notice me at first. I coughed, and he looked up at me. His mouth dropped.

'Woah' he mouthed. 

I walked over to him, and leaned over him.

'Time for me to treat you now Merrygold' I cheekily winked at him. He nodded, still not saying anything. I got onto the bed, straddling him, before pushing my lips onto his. I kissed down his neck, causing a slight moan to escape from his lips. His hands reached round to my bra clasp, but I pushed his hands away. I was in charge this time. I pulled his shirt over his head, before kissing down his toned chest. I reached his jeans, so slowly undid them and pulled them down. I kissed along his boxer line, before running my tongue along it. A deep moan left his mouth. I sunk my hand into his boxers, making him gasp and roll his eyes back into his head. I smiled, before removing my hand. He looked down at me with a confused look on his face. I pulled down his boxers, before putting my mouth where my hand just was. He bit down on his lip and placed a hand over his face. A while later, I began kissing back up his chest. 

'Enjoy that?' I smiled at him.

'Oh yes baby' he grinned. 'My turn now' he winked. I allowed him to remove my bra when he tried this time. He kissed down my chest, removing my knickers, before returning the favor. I greeted him with a passionate kiss after he kissed back up to my lips. 

'Thanks babe' I giggled, before flipping him over. Soon after, he was ready again.

'Here' I said, passing Aston a condom from his bedside table. He slipped it on, as we enjoyed our last night away together.
