Paula gets to know the girls. Part 6 in the "Paula's Discovery" series.
As Paula rode the elevator down to the lobby restaurant, she realized there was a text on her phone screen.
She touched the screen to accept the text from Tom.
"Hope U had a good trip and a fun evening."
"Left early for the airport."
"Talk later"
"Love You"
Paula smiled, slid the phone into the pocket of her warm-up suit jacket and waited for the door to open.
The lobby was alive with conference attendees as they pulled luggage to the day's sessions in anticipation of the trip to the airport at mid-day for flights home. The girls assumed that by 9, the activity in the restaurant may have eased a bit and as she approached the hostess stand Paula saw the guess was correct. As the hostess turned and smiled, Paula saw Joni, Marge and Jane at a large table with room for the rest of the girls...at least those who were up.
Seeing the wave the hostess stepped aside and Paula took a place at the table.
The others were dressed similarly in anticipation of the trip to the spa and were enjoying light breakfast items from the buffet.
"Good morning," Marge said.
"Did you sleep well?"
Paula smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm not used to two martinis before bedtime."
The others laughed and Paula rose to walk to the buffet. She selected some yogurt, fruit and pastries and returned to the table. A cup of hot black coffee was waiting for her.
As she sat, Sheila and Anne were just joining them and the chatter increased. Paula was pleased to see Joni smiling readily but still not saying much. She appeared to be enjoying herself but was perhaps still a bit nervous.
With only 15 minutes remaining before the planned departure time, Penny made her entry. Her red hair a contrast to the black warm-up she wore and this time the jacket was sized to the task and zipped up the front.
Anne poured a cup of coffee and slid it in front of Penny. Penny reached for the cream and poured some into the cup and while she stirred and pondered the drink she said, "That Rob was such a dear last evening."
The others paused a minute wondering what had prompted Penny's comment but Paula dismissed it as just a fun part of her personality.
As Penny continued to look into the cup she said, "Maybe we should adopt him for the weekend."
With that, she raised the cup to her lips and took a hesitant sip of the hot liquid and studied the others over the top of the cup.
"He seemed to have his eyes on you at least," Jane mentioned.
Penny smiled.
Marge added, "He was cute, I enjoyed watching him walk back to the bar." "Nice butt, I wonder if he's a swimmer?"
Paula smiled and flashed back to her college days as her sorority sisters made subtle and not-so subtle comments of guy's anatomies.
Penny finished her coffee and Jane stood to lead the group to the spa. It looked like the entire group would join.
As the two cabs pulled up in front of the low-rise building the girls followed Jane into the lobby and up the elevators to the 6
th
floor. The group filled the small reception lobby but the young lady in the spandex and hard body physique immediately recognized Jane and welcomed them warmly.
The girls were led toward the dressing room and the hostess made sure each of them had a locker, a thick soft robe with the logo of the spa embroidered on the left side, slippers and a large towel.
She motioned to a set of shelves with more towels and said, "Jane knows where everything is but if you need anything else, please ask."
She turned to leave and the girls quickly removed their warm-ups and donned the thick warm robes.
"We'll start in the sauna" Jane said.
Paula noticed that Jane had a forceful personality and tended to direct rather than ask but she was not overbearing. Perhaps that had developed from having clients who typically didn't know what they wanted and were only too happy to have Jane handle everything for them.
As the girls followed Jane down the short hallway Paula could feel the warmth and humidity of the sauna. As Jane opened the door the girls filed in to an outer room with hooks for robes and a frosted glass door that led into the sauna.
There were two robes hanging but many open hooks and Jane quickly opened her robe, hung it up and wrapped the towel around her. Paula was impressed with Jane's long smooth body; a runner's physique. Jane looked back at the group with a "what are you waiting for" look, opened the door and stepped into the sauna. The wave of hot moist air flowed into the small room.
Paula, a little self-consciously removed her robe, and wrapped the towel around tightly under her arms. She turned as Sheila was lifting her robe to the hook and noticed that Sheila did indeed have a "voluptuous" figure. Not as "top-heavy" as Penny but pleasantly proportioned and perhaps "womanly."
The other girls were already moving into the sauna and as their eyes adjusted to the steam they noticed Jane had moved to the far side and had spread her towel onto the tile seat and was seated comfortably, with her arms outstretched, completely naked. Paula noticed the other two women were naked as well so she thought, "When in Rome" as they say, moved to the vacant wall, dropped her towel and turned, bending forward to spread it on the seat.
"You really do have a stripper's ass," Sheila teased.
"You can't believe everything Tom says," Paula retorted.
Paula sat quickly and as the others laughed it helped to break the tension and they began to comfortably enjoy the steam against their naked flesh.
After a few minutes the two tall slender twenty-somethings stood to leave. They picked up their towels and walked to the door not bothering to cover themselves.
As if they all were thinking the same thing, Anne said, after the door closed, "If I still had a figure like that, I wouldn't bother with the towel either."
As the girls laughed Penny said positively, "Now girls, we all have our charms."
And with the timing of a stand-up comic, she added, "Besides they probably don't know how to give a decent blowjob."
