"Hey Theo!. What's up? You helping out or something? I didn't expect to see you up behind the counter." Skye asked as she was busily trying to catch up on everything she had let slide while working Kayla over on the marketing plans. Skye had really been distracted with everything else that had transpired, but her dreams were taking a big chunk out of her time and energy and only wearing her out more as they went on.
"Yeah, Dirk asked me to pick up some of the slack around here." Theo answered as he straightened up some of the brochures and other things they had out on the counter. "I think he's worried that you're overloaded. Wix seems to be focused solely on the massage side of things, even though that hasn't picked up all that much now. Dirk joked that she looked like she was nesting, whatever that means."
"Oh, well, we both have a lot going on right now and life is spilling way too far over into work unfortunately. I just don't want to let Dirk down too much, he's been very supportive, even though I treat him like crap for all he's done."
"He understands, I think." Theo replied.
"How about you two, anyway, have you had much time to talk about the other day?" Skye asked, nudging Theo a bit.
"Not really, no." Theo said, sounding a bit deflated. "I mean, we talk and all, but it's almost all about the gym, workouts, and you."
"That's too bad, maybe he's still processing it." Skye said trying to reassure Theo. "Hey, wait a minute, you sound like you don't enjoy talking about me. Is that it? Am I too boring for you now? I see how it is." Skye joked a bit, but with her delivery she caught Theo off guard and he tried to stammer out a response, but it was caught somewhere. "I'm just busting you."
"Oh, sorry. Haha?" Theo replied, still unsure how to play it.
"You said Wix was busy being not so busy with the massage and spa stuff, and what was it, nesting? At least according to Dirk?" Skye asked to follow-up on what she thought she heard.
"Yeah." Theo chuckled. "Not sure what he meant."
"Oh, I think I know. I have a few things I want to chat with her about anyway so I'll check in with her on that. Things look slow for now, and it very good hands, so I think I'll go grab her now." Skye started to head off, then paused waiting for some confirmation from Theo. After a second, he realized she was still there and he nodded, then shooed her away.
Skye bounced over to the massage table area and found Wix just idly moving things around, arranging the candles, the oils and checking and rechecking the stacks of towels. She was startled when Skye walked up next to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Wix pulled out her earbuds and looked at Skye.
"Sorry, listening to some music to try to relax." Wix said, stuffing the buds into her pocket.
"No worries. Wondering whether you had some time to chat. I had a few things that I wanted to ask you that have been eating at me." Skye replied, looking into Wix's eyes.
"Me too, I've been really worried about you, that's part of the reason why I was trying to relax. That and trying to get the courage to come chat with you about stuff." Wix opened up and Skye put her hand on her arm and gave her a little squeeze.
"Aww, that's sweet. You're concerned, Dirk is concerned. Apparently, I haven't been enough of a bitch to everyone that they are all worried about me." Skye pondered that for a bit in a mocking gesture of deep thought. "I'll have to work on that."
Wix laughed at her response. "No, seriously. I've been having these strange dreams and..." Wix paused as she saw the expression on Skye's face change and she couldn't quite read it.
"Me too, but let's go back to my apartment to talk in private. Mine are pretty weird, and not for general consumption around here." She took Wix by the arm and tugged her along, somewhat discreetly, until they reached her apartment door. They entered, and both seemed to exhale as if a bit of pressure was suddenly released from both of their minds.
"So, I'm worried about you after the last few nights of dreams. I think you're in trouble, but I can't figure out exactly why or what for." Wix started.
"In trouble? I may be, but I can't really tell for sure. Do your dreams involve a dragon and a castle or a dungeon or both?" Skye asked.
"No, mine are all about us. I mean, you, me, Lavia and Anali to be specific." Wix clarified.
"Kinky, and probably better than mine, and yet I keep having incapacitating orgasms, so I guess they can't be that bad, but what's a girl got to do to get some pussy in her dreams?" Skye replied overthinking a bit of her situation. "But why do you think I'm in trouble?"
"Oh, because sometimes when you aren't in the dreams this group of men come looking for you. They're either cops or government agents or..." Wix was a saying as Skye interrupted her.
"Or an angry mob chasing a dragon?" Skye asked.
"No, no angry mobs. Do you think you're just fixated on my tattoo or something? Maybe you have some latent repressed pent-up sexual desires for me." Wix winked at Skye.
