Chapter 64: Chapter 64
Carol was awoken later that afternoon around 3:45 by the loud and insistent ringing of her phone. She picked it up to see that it was the lady from the pool this afternoon, Melissa, who was calling her. Carol groaned pitifully, and padded out to the balcony of the suite to answer the call, so as not to wake Sebastian, who was still sleeping peacefully beside her. Carol could not believe that she had had sex… and with Sebastian too. Her whole body was sore, but in a good way, and she could not wait to repeat the activity again.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Carol.” The girl sang, but something about her tone gave off false sincerity, or maybe that was just Carol.
“Yeah, Melissa. How’s it going?”
“Oh, it’s going well. I hope you remember that we have the spa session scheduled in fifteen minutes or less.”
“Yes, I remember. I’ll be there.” Carol said, wishing that she did not have anything planned. She was still feeling very sleepy, but she guessed that there was nothing that she could do about it, especially as Mrs. James was the one who had booked the session for her. She did not want to come off as rude. Quickly, she took a shower and then wore her clothes before leaving a note for Sebastian, telling him where she was going. She stepped out of their suite just as Mrs. James was stepping out of her suite too.
“Oh, there you are Carol. I thought I was going to have to drag you kicking and screaming from your room.”
“No, ma’am. I just woke up.” Carol told her. “After fucking your husband’s nephew to oblivion.” She wanted to add but didn’t. It was a good thing that they were booked for the spa session. At least, her sore muscles would be dealt with.
“Um, I hope you don’t mind, but one of my friends invited herself to come with us.” She informed Mr.s James.
“One of your friends? I did not know you had friends here.”
“Well, not friend, per se. I just met her here this afternoon and we got talking. She informed me that she booked a session at the spa this evening for four and invited me to come along with her, so I told her that I already had a session booked too. It’s not as though we’re friends.”
“Oh, okay. That’s okay, I guess.” Mrs. James said, but Carol could see that she was not all that happy about it.
“She should be somewhere around. Let me call her.” Carol said and called Melissa who informed her that she was already at the spa and that they should meet her there.
“So anyway, I wanted us to have a girl-to-girl talk at the spa, but since we are going to have company, I guess I should just ask what I wanted to ask now.”
“Oh, God! Here it comes.” Carol thought to herself. So much for thinking she would escape because she had invited Melissa to come to the spa with them.
“How are things between you and Sebastian?” Mrs. James asked, directing Carol to sit with her on a chair in the lobby, not minding that the time for their session was almost here.
“Things are getting better. We're becoming closer by the day.” Carol replied, remembering just how much closer they had become over the course of the last few hours. Her body tingled in remembrance. She could not wait for this spa session to be over so that she could go back to the suite and have sex again. Now that she had done it once, she knew that she would not be embarrassed to get Sebastian to make love to her again.
“You guys had sex yet?” Mrs. James asked bluntly. Apparently, there was nothing such as privacy or decorum in this family. Carol could not contain her blush and looked away from Mrs. James immediately.
“I knew it. I’d recognize that after sex glow any day, anytime. You had that glow when you came out of your suite this afternoon. It was your first time too, I presume? Or at least, it’s been a while since you last had sex?”
“What? How would you know any of that?” Carol asked in surprise.
“I’ve been around a little longer than you have, my dear. Now don’t be offended that I’m asking you all this. I know why I’m asking you. Besides, I’ve noticed that you do not seem to have a lot of friends with whom you can discuss stuff like this.”
“I’m not offended. You’re right though. It was my first time.”
“Do you have any plans of staying with Sebastian after the contract is over?”
“I don’t know if that is up to me, but I think a contract is a contract. We’ll decide what happens when the time comes.” Carol said, sighing when her phone began to ring again. “The girl is calling me again. Let’s go. We can continue the discussion at the spa.”
“Alright, dear.”
They got to the spa, where they met Melissa, who tried to hide her annoyance at the fact that they were late, but Carol could see right through her and knew that she was angry.
“Hello, Melissa. This is my husband’s aunt…sort of. She’s married to my husband’s uncle. Auntie, this is Melissa.” Carol introduced the other two women to each other.
“It’s nice to meet you, Melissa dear.” Mrs. James said pleasantly, patting the younger girl’s hand. Charlotte could barely hide her disgust and hatred for the woman. This woman was the reason why her father did not want anything to do with her, her mother and brother as far as she was concerned and now, wanted to take their inheritance from them, together with that annoying Sebastian who had enjoyed all the privileges that she and her brother should have enjoyed as their father’s children. She could not show her hatred outwardly, though, at least not if she wanted her plan to work. It seemed the woman could sense her dislike though because her brows furrowed and she withdrew her hands quickly.
“It’s Melissa,” Charlotte told her, barely resisting the urge to slap the woman to oblivion.
“Excuse me?”
“It’s Melissa, not Melissa dear. I’m not your dear. I don’t even know you, so I can’t be your dear.”
There was an awkward silence between the three women and then Carol quickly tried to cover it up. “Let’s go in.” She said in the sweetest and most exciting voice that she could summon. This Melissa person was rude, and she was not sure that she wanted anything to do with her anymore, but she did not want to come across as wicked, so she sucked it up and smiled at the girl as they went in and were attended to.
