Their spa day could start. Girls were in their robes and bathing suits ready to enjoy the day. Hope suggested that they go first to the pool and after some swimming they could go for the massages. Penelope and Josie loved the idea. It was closed pool, so the girls didn't have to use any sunblock, they could just enjoy and watch people around them. Hope made too many comments about the guys they saw and it made Josie laugh. She found it funny how the other girl was boy crazy.

''You just had sex with someone and now you are watching someone new? I honestly admire it Hope. I wouldn't be able to do it.''

''Oh, Josie… Life is too short… I don't have any intention of spending it like nun.''

''I am not a nun…''

''Are you sure? How many people have you slept with in life?''

Josie blushed a bit…

''Hope, that is inappropriate question.''

''Why? We are friends… What is the magic number?''

''Three...''

''Nun!''

''I was never in a situation for more. I was in two long relationships and next person I married.''

Hope turned to Penelope to ask her the same question, but she just gave her a look.

''No way!''

''Come on! I am very curious…''

''I am not talking about my past lovers…''

''So, there were some people you slept with?''

Penelope made very serious face.

''Hope, I am not a virgin…''

''I know… Josie made sure of that.''

And there was the familiar blush. Josie was red as her bathing suit.

''Hope!''

'"What? It's well known you were each other's firsts... But what I want to know…''

Penelope interrupted her.

''Hope, stop it… You are making the entire situation very uncomfortable.''

''Why?''

''Because it's private… ''

''We are just talking about sex… Why are you such a prude?''

''I am not…''

''Then tell me how many people have you slept with?''

''Why does it matter? Do you know how many people you slept with?''

''In past two years…. Hm…. Forty men and ten girls.''

Josie was surprised.

''What?''

''I keep tabs… So, I don't forget them… Now, tell us your magic number…''

Penelope rolled her eyes…

''There are no magic numbers… I don't see sex as a pass time or something like that. I sleep with someone because they matter or I love them. I don't sleep around… It means something to me.''

''Stop stalling… Tell us the number…''

''One…And I almost slept with someone else… But it was not right…''

''What?''

''That is my number…Now, I am going into the pool… I hope you are happy now Hope… You have all of our tabs.''

She took off her robe and went to the edge of the pool. She jumped in and dived almost half of the pool. Josie was pretty shocked by what Penelope said. Just one?! That meant that she was her first and her last. She looked at Hope who was as shocked as Josie was.

''Wow! You really did a number on her….''

''What just happened?!''

''Our beloved Penelope never got over you…''

''But… How? Why?''

''I don't know Josie… All I know is that this idiot still loves you.''

''How do you know?''

''It has been years since you ended it, and she spent them alone… That means something.''

''She said she sleeps with someone when she cares… Maybe she didn't meet anyone.''

''Come on! Look at her…''

Josie turned to Penelope and watcher her getting ready to dip into pool. She was in a tiny black bikini. She had many heads turn as she passed them.

'' Look how people stare at her… She is wanted… everyone wants her… And you say she didn't meet anyone… Come on!''

''What do you want me to say? I have no idea what is the reason she is single…''

Hope rolled her eyes at Josie. To her answer was more than clear…

''That she loves you. That is the reason… Penelope Park is in love with you and that's why she is single.''

''Still?''

''Yes, still… She is one of those people that don't let you in…but when they do, you are in their heart forever.''

''We were kids…''

''You still have feelings for her too.''

''I…''

''Josie, I know you… You turned pail when you saw her in the towel and for a minute believed we were an item…''

''I was just surprised.''

''Joisie… You still have feelings for her….or at least some sort of attraction.''

''It's impossible not to be attracted to her. Look at her.''

Penelope was getting out of the pool and it looked like she was walking in some sort of slow motion. She came to the towel and took a seat.

''Water is amazing…''

Josie was just looking at her and Hope was observing them both. She got up and took off her robe.

''I'll go for a swim too… This hungover is killing me.''

Penelope and Josie were alone. None of them dared to speak. They spent next few minutes in silence and then Penelope got up.

''I am going to the sauna.''

''Ok, I'll wait for Hope.''

''Ok…''

Penelope went to the sauna and it was empty. She was glad there were no intruders and she could have moment to herself. She leaned to the wall and closed her eyes. She heard the door open and she smiled.

''Hey Jojo…''

''How did you know it was me?''

''I always know…''

''How?''

''Some might say I am a witch…''

She smirked at Josie and she just shook her head.

''You are an ass…''

''What do you want me to say?''

''Truth would be amazing…''

''I always know when you enter the room… I feel you Josie… I always did…''

Josie wished she never asked… Now there was this awkward moment again.

''Don't sweat it.''

''Ha…ha… Very funny… We are in the sauna…''

''I know…''

There was moment of silence before Josie spoke.

''I always knew too… I would feel you too…''

''That's nice.''

''It was… And there was time when it was not that nice…''

''Why?''

''It hurt too much to see you…''

''Why?''

''Because you left me and stopped loving me…''

''I never stopped loving you.''

''And why did you leave me?''

''Because I believed you didn't love me… You stopped loving me Josie…''

''I never did!''

Penelope looked at her shocked…surprised…

''What?''

''I never stopped loving you… That's why I am so stuck and my marriage failed… I was never over you… How could I build a life with someone loving you?!''

''I don't know… I didn't date after you… I was not ready… I still am not ready…''

''It's been years Penelope.''

''I know… But I can't…''

''Why?''

''No one would ever be you…''

Before they could continue the talk, an older man came in and took a seat very close to them. Both girls saw it as a signal to end the conversation. Penelope put her hand on the bench and Josie put hers over Penelope's. As soon as she touched Penelope she felt something in the pit of her stomach…like electricity spreading all over her body. She just stared at her and all of the sudden Penelope opened her eyes and winked at her. Josie blushed and looked somewhere else. Just as Penelope was about to tease Josie, Hope got in.

''There you are… Oh, I see you have company…''

Older man felt like he was interrupting something so he got out and left three of them alone.

''So, what did I miss?''

'' Nothing Michaelson… Nice and quiet moment that you had to screw up…''

''Nice Park, very nice…''

''I love you too…''

''I got a phone number from a girl…''

Hope had an evil smile on her face. She was proud of new conquest. Penelope had a small smile. She admired Hope for being on the dating scene…even with the one night stands and some causal things, she was trying to get over Landon… Now, after the talk she had with Josie, she had no idea what will happen now with two of them, but she sure did admire Hope for being out there.

''What's wrong with her?''

''Nothing…''

Penelope smiled… But now Hope had even more evil smile. Josie took her water and started drinking. She loved Penelope's and Hope's banters, but she preferred to be on the sidelines… She was no match to two of them…she never was.

'' Well, many things actually… She asked for your number Park but I told her that two of you are married, so she apologized and gave it to me. ''

Josie chocked on her water and Penelope was shocked to hear what Hope just said.

''You did what?!''

''Oh, and we have double date tonight…''

Josie looked at Penelope and Hope in horror.

''I have no words for you Michaelson….''

''She is hot…and smart.''

''Of course she is smart… She wanted my number…''

''Come on Park. If I gave her your number you would have found an excuse not to go out with her or even to ruin your date…and friend zone her after ten minutes in the restaurant.''

''You still had no right…''

''I like her.''

''You don't know her.''

''But I want to get to know her.''

''Get to know her or sleep with her?''

''That is the way of getting to know someone too… Come on…I really like her… Like her enough not to think only about having sex with her… Help the girl out.''

Penelope turned to Josie who just shrugs her shoulders.

''When is the date?''

''Tonight at nine.''

''I hate you Hope…''

Josie looked at two of them.

''Maybe we should head home for me and P to adjust our stories and pick what to wear.''

Hope looked at Josie a bit confused.

''Why does it matter what you wear? It's my date.''

''Hey! This one always looks hot as hell… I have to find something that matches…''

Penelope had huge grin on her face.

''You should listen to my WIFE Michaelson… She knows best.''

''Shut up Penelope!''

''You see, we are married for less than a minute and she is already bossy…''

Josie got up and turned to two other girls.

''Let's go!''

During the entire ride Josie was trying to figure out what to wear where to go and she was very nervous and excited… Penelope drove in silence and few times she had smile on her face when Josie would get carried away in her blabber. When they got into the house, she went straight to her room to look for an outfit, Hope went to hers to take a shower and Penelope just started laughing very loud.

''I am surrounded by idiots…''
