She was cooling down from an intense workout.
"That instructor was on a mission today!" she thought.
She headed towards the showers. She normally did not take showers at the gym but she had booked a massage for that day and she never wanted to go to the table sweaty. She turned on the water very warm. She paid little attention to her hair as the sweat from the workout had already done its worst and it would have to be dealt with before she went out for the evening. She soaped up and was quite aware of the developing knot in her lower back.
"Well I definitely have to mention this to the masseuse when I get there." she thought.
Still feeling the workout high in spite of the soreness in her back, she let the hot water fall on her and closed her eyes as she rinsed off. She lingered a bit until she realized she was not at home and others were waiting. She reluctantly turned off the water and toweled off. She headed back to the locker wrapped in her towel and got her bag from the locker. She pulled out her panties from the bag. They were a low rise electric blue pair with a mesh front that nicely contrasted with her luscious brown skin. Not a pair she would normally wear to the gym but it was laundry day. She decided to go braless since she was going straight to the spa. She finished dressing putting on a pair of shorts and a loose fitting tee shirt and headed out to her waiting sporty Fiat.
When she arrived at the spa, she was impressed. It had been over a year since she had used this spa, her time being spent at the new chain that offered monthly memberships. The lighting was very subdued and pleasant. Native American flute music wafted through the lobby. The receptionist welcomed her. The former gatekeeper had been a severe woman who was direct and all business. The new receptionist was pleasant and welcoming.
"have you been with us before?" the receptionist asked.
"About a year ago" She said.
"We are under new management now, I hope you like our new atmosphere. I see you are scheduled for our deluxe package. " the receptionist continued with a sly look in her eye.
"I got a groupon and I thought I deserved it." she said
"I'll call you when your room is ready. Please help yourself to water and a light snack" the receptionist said.
"Thank you" she said.
After about 15 minutes a woman emerged from behind the curtain. She had the most relaxed and peaceful look about her. She practically floated out of the waiting area making an appointment for the following week. She left an envelope marked "Ramon" on the counter.
After a few more minutes a clean cut 30ish muscular man with light brown skin and a slightly receding hairline appeared at the curtain wearing a tight fitting under armour shirt.
"Is my 2 o'clock here?" he said in a soft low voice.
The receptionist called out to her "your room is ready."
She gathered her bags and headed towards the curtain. Ramon took her hand lightly and escorted her into the back area, her left hand in his and his right hand resting on the small of her back. He opened the door for her and provided a large towel and a locker for her to use.
"You can put you stuff in there and come through that door when you are ready" Ramon said.
She stripped down to her panties and stored her stuff in the locker. She admired herself in the mirror and thought "I look hot, F this fifty shit." She wrapped the long towel around herself and confidently strode through the divider to the other room.
Ramon offered her an aromatherapy mask, lavender.
"how did you know?" she said as he tied the mask over her eyes securely but not tightly.
"Please make yourself comfortable, lay down on your stomach."
"like this?" she said as she positioned herself on the table as best she could with the mask obscuring her vision.
"perfect" he said. "Is there anything specific you wanted to work on today?'
