So Into You

CHAPTER 6

"Happy Birthday!!!" Niamh and Iris jump on me Friday morning, I had gone to bed early last night because I wasn't allowed to be in the living room while they decorated, which was fine with me. The week was pretty lowkey, I met with Harry on Wednesday for our last weekly meet up before our presentation Monday, we've text here and there, but he's coming tonight. I'm a bit excited to see him, I've come to terms with the fact that I do have a crush on Harry, I haven't told the girls yet, I just want to enjoy my day today and will talk to them about it.

"Isn't it a little too early for y'all to be jumping on me?"

"It's not every day you turn 22," Iris says, and Niamh adds, "Exactly, now get outta bed and come with us" they each grab an arm and drag me out of bed.

"Can I at least wear some shorts? I mean, unless you want me to flash you my cooch," Iris shrugs.

"Nothing we haven't seen before, but go ahead" they wait for me to put the shorts on, and Niamh covers my eyes while Iris opens the door.

"Is this necessary?" I say as I try not to bump into anything

"Don't be a party pooper and roll with it," Iris says, once we get to what I assume is the living room Niamh lets her hands go, and I gasp.

There are balloons everywhere, and there's a cake on the table surrounded with presents, they went all out "Oh My God guys, you shouldn't have" I say turning to give them each a hug, I told you these girls go above and beyond for me, and I couldn't be more blessed to have two amazing best friends.

"Y'all are seriously gonna make me cry," I add as my eyes start watering up.

"We love you, and we wanted to make 22 extra special" Niamh says

"Well, it's just the beginning of the day, and I already feel spoiled."

"I can't wait until you see the venue!" Iris says, the last few days she's been coordinating with the planner so that everything is up to par, I have a feeling even though she says it's not going to be crazy it's going to be.

"Open this one first!" she says, handing me an envelope. I open it, and it's a spa voucher for the 3 of us to get pampered today.

"Shut up! I've needed a spa day for time. I love you so much," I say, hugging them again, at this rate I'm going to be dishing out hugs every time I open a present.

"Exactly now go change so we can get this day started, you deserve to spoiled today."

I walk back to my bedroom to change into leggings and a hoodie. Five minutes later, I'm done and ready for us to head out. We're going to the Chapel Spa, it's one of the best spas in town, and I'm excited, as we wait for the Uber, my parents call me to say happy birthday, I speak to my nan next as they are at her place.

When I get off the phone, the Uber is here. I start going through all the birthday texts and messages. I feel so loved, birthdays are amazing even though I'm not a massive fan of the celebrations I don't mind being the center of attention for a day. My phone buzzes as I'm getting into the car, it's Harry.

Happy Birthday you! See you tonight. I send him a quick thank you. If there's one thing I'm looking forward to tonight, it's seeing Harry in a suit. I have no doubt he is going to look amazing.

We get to the spa half an hour later. When we get to the waiting area, we are checked in and given robes. The whole experience is lovely, we get massages first, and then we do the thermal cycle experience, which includes the hot tub/sauna, cold tub, and then a rest period before finally going for facials.

I don't remember the last time I felt this relaxed; I feel so much lighter by the time it's over. The package comes with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and afternoon tea after the facial. I let the girls go to town with the bottle and enjoy my cakes by the time we are done tea, its nearly 3 pm. The plan is to chill out and open the rest of the presents before we start getting ready for tonight.
