Chapter 2: Lucky Number 20
"Helen?"
"Hi Lucius, I was wondering if you could take care of Jack-Jack for me?"
"Oh, sure I will, Helen. Why? where are you headed?"
"To this Luxury Lounge Spa place, first 20 people get a free massage!"
"Hah! That's nice. Sure, I'll take care of Jack-Jack."
"Thanks again, Lucius, I'll be back later"
"Yeah, good luck with that. Wife's on her way, too!"
As Helen left for the spa, she noticed she was early since there's no line, and it's already 12:55 noon. But as soon as she parked, and entered the spa, she noticed that she's the 20th arrival.
"You're very lucky, miss." A customer said.
"Thanks, I guess it was meant to be. 20th though, ugh! I'd have to wait for hours." Helen said with a little smile while she was texting Lucius that she'd be a little late.
"No, I mean, it's good to be number 20! Didn't you read the article?"
"Uhmm, sorry, I didn't, all I saw was 'free Lap of Luxury to First 20 customers'"
"Oh, don't you know who owns the place?"
"Nope"
"Victor Grant!!!"
"Come again?"
"He's only the hottest man to have ever lived! And the 20th gets a world-class dinner with the guy after the Lap of Luxury treatment, also with him!"
"That would be nice, but you see, I'm m…" Helen paused and stopped as she was about to show he ring when she set her sights on the man walking towards her. He was wearing a button-down polo shirt (all the way to his upper abdomen), with the gold letters "VG" on his chest area. His body was like it was chiseled from stone by the way his chest, arms and legs looked. Helen was speechless, and her heart was beating faster than ever. She almost forgot what she was about to say.
"Who here is number 20?" Victor proclaimed with his manly voice. Everyone pointed to Helen, who was looking at Victor with a smile. Victor saw Helen's figure, which was very curvy and her face was so beautiful for him. He was smitten at the very sight of Helen, but tried not to act like it and play it smooth.
"And what is your name, miss?"
"Helen Parr..."
"Number 20, am I correct?"
"Yes…"
"Ok, let's begin your Lap of Luxury treatment, here's your robe. You can change there in the dressing room. Afterwards, meet me in the next house."
"O…o…ok" Helen said, trying to look calm.
As Helen changed in the dressing room, all she could think of was how good-looking Victor was. "Wow, Victor Grant is so hot! Snap out of it, Helen! You are thinking of doing the one thing you suspect your husband of doing and the one thing you condone! Just get it over with…" As Helen got all of her clothing off, she put on the robe, and entered the house Victor went in. It was the most beautiful house she has ever set foot on.
