Dawn had had a long and stressful day. She had been running the month end reports for days for the head bookkeeper and she was exhausted and stressed out. It had been months since she had been out socially and a year since even a decent date. She blew her breath out of her bottom lip as she studied the figures before her. Dawn was a petite redhead in her early 40's with slim, long legs, 6 pack abs, and firm, upturned 34C breasts. She was pretty in the "girl-next door" kind of way, but shy, so her coworkers didn't talk much to her. Just as she gathered her long, curly hair into a ponytail, her phone beeped with a text message. It was her best friend. Liz.
"Are you still at work?" it read. Dawn replied that she would be a few hours before she would be done. "Meet me at the Rock and Rebel in a half hour, I have to talk to you about something," Liz's text said. Dawn started to protest then thought, Oh, fuck it, I'm starving and sick of this shit. I always get stuck working while everyone else has a life. Why not?
Dawn left the office and got in her Hybrid. She took the Expressway and pulled into the bar. She spotted Liz sitting at the bar chatting up the bartender with a cold one in front of her. The bartender winked at her and set a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc in front of her without her even asking for it. Dawn looked quizzically at her, but took a sip anyway. "So, I'm here, what's up?" she asked Liz.
Liz pulled a small box out of her bag. "I've been meaning to talk to you about your birthday," she said, "I never got you anything and I wanted to treat you to something."
"Oh, that's ok," Dawn said, "I have to work all the time anyway." Liz handed her the beautifully wrapped box and motioned for her to open it. Dawn slowly pulled off the satin bow and expensive wrapping paper and opened it. In it lay a gift certificate embossed with the words "The Ladies' Spa" and her name on it. "Oh, that is so sweet, thank you! But I don't know when I'll be able to go, we are working on a big account right now...," she trailed off as Liz placed her finger over her lips.
"You're going... tonight. It's all set up, there's a Limo waiting outside for you," Liz said, glancing at the hot blonde bartender with huge tits who was smiling a naughty little smile at the two of them. She added, "Your work is fine with it, just GO!" and pushed Dawn out the door into the pretty white limo with "The Ladies Spa" embellished on it with flowers. Inside the limo was her suitcase, packed with all her toiletries, clothes, everything that she needed for an overnight stay. Completely taken off guard, Dawn shook her head in complete befuddlement. But a relaxation was starting to spread throughout her body... she felt so content, yet...almost...aroused. It was such an unknown feeling; she didn't know what to do. She just lay back amidst the cushions in the back of the Limo and looked around. There were trays of crudités, and smoked meats and cheeses, drinks...she helped herself, as she hadn't eaten all day. The radio was playing Maroon 5, her favorite band.
They arrived in record time. The Spa was on a beautiful estate with horses. It looked like a Bed and Breakfast with gorgeous cobblestones and a wrap-around porch. She walked up to the front desk and was startled when the stunningly beautiful receptionist welcomed her with a smile, calling her by name and taking her bag. "I hope you enjoy your day!" she cooed as she pulled out forms to Dawn to sign. "What is this?" Dawn said
"It's just for liability reasons, that you understand the Spa treatments and modalities," the girl said. Dawn shrugged and signed them with a flourish, barely looking at them. The girl led her to her room, and unlocked the door. "We ask that all guests take a shower before we begin," she said.
Dawn agreed and looked around the room. Holy crap, she thought, this is gorgeous. The King-sized bed was covered in a big, fluffy soft comforter, the décor was subtly rich but subdued and there were vases of roses all throughout the room. The bathtub had bath salts and spa bubble bath, all kinds of soaps and her favorite hair products. She ran a bath, pouring a capful of the bubbles in the water. She took a long, luxurious bath, using the razor to shave her legs. She stood up and rinsed off under the hot pulsating shower. Surprisingly, her nipples started to tingle. It had been soooo long since she'd been with a man, she mused. Maybe they would give her a good massage to relieve some of her tension.
The phone rang. It was Marie, the young girl at the desk. "Dawn, we have a facial and massage set up for you in our Main Spa room," she said, "Can you come downstairs please? I will take you there. Put on the robe you see hanging on the bathroom hook." Dawn hung up the phone, hurriedly dried herself off and put the silken room on. It felt amazing on her skin. Refreshed, she quickly brushed her teeth and headed out the door.
