Investing in Love – Chapter 52

"I'm telling you Seth you are going to love it."

"The guys are going to give me so much shit for this."

Seth lies back in the plush leather chair next to me as Jessica removes the finishing mask from his face. It took a lot of convincing, but I got Edward to cave and let me go to the spa with Rosalie and Alice. The only stipulation was I had to bring an entire entourage with me. Seth is to stay with me at all times and there are three other bodyguards in various different areas of the spa keeping watch.

"So this is why you women smell so good." Seth admires his freshly rejuvenated face in the mirror. "It makes me want to eat my face it smells so damn good…hey that reminds me, when do we eat?"

"We have brunch after our massages," I say excitedly.


"Now this I will like. I hope I get that Jessica girl again."

Seth is lying on the massage table across from me with a pair of shorts on. I'm wearing a tube top bra and a pair of little shorts. We are both lying on our stomachs looking at each other when Jessica and a guy with the name tag Jared come into the room. Seth starts raising his eyebrow up and down assuming Jessica will be his masseur.

"So would you like a full body massage today, Ms. Swan?" Jessica asks me.

I look at Seth and his eyes grow three times their normal size when he realizes Jared will be giving him a massage.

"Whoa…whoa…whoa." Seth says sitting up and holding out his hands. "I believe you will be massaging me and he…" Seth looks at Jared with distaste, "… will be massaging her."

"I'm sorry Mr. Clearwater, but I have strict orders from Mr. Cullen. Ms. Swan is only to have a woman attending to her treatments today."

"Oh come on, Edward will never know," Seth whines.

"He calls in about every half hour to check on her, sir. I think he would mind a great deal if I went against his wishes." Jessica is not backing down.

"Seth get over it, it will be fine." I roll my eyes at his childish antics.

"Fine." He looks at Jared. "Keep your hands up north. I don't want any funny business."

"Oh honey, just relax, I'm nothing if not professional." Jared pushes Seth back down and starts rubbing his back.

I look at Seth trying not to laugh at the situation and how very obvious it is that Jared is batting for the other team. Seth starts to complain, but Jared hits a spot just right on his shoulder blade and Seth lets out a groan of pure satisfaction.

"That's it honey, let Jared take care of you."

"Oh yeah, that feels a-maz-ing," Seth continues to moan.

I have my face in the massage table and I work desperately to control my laughter as Jessica works my lower back. I cannot wait to tell Edward about this.


"They call this lunch?" Seth picks up a piece of lettuce and throws it back down on his plate.

Alice, Rosalie, Seth and I are all setting under the shade of the spa courtyard where we are served a chicken Spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette and a side of fruit.

"It's good for you." Alice shovels a big helping of spinach into her mouth.

"Yeah well, I'll be hungry in twenty minutes after eating this rabbit food." Seth takes a swig of his sparkling water.

"Well I need to be eating this. Living with Emmett is not good for my figure. He wants steak and potatoes every night." Rosalie picks at her salad.

"He is my kind of guy." Seth retorts. "But you don't have to worry about your figure. You are smoking hot….don't tell Emmett I said that though." He points his fork at her making sure she understands he really doesn't want Emmett to know he thinks his girl is smoking hot.

"Well Emmett hasn't said anything, but that bitch Lauren from yoga class made a snide comment about my ass getting big."

"No!" Alice and I both say, shocked that Lauren had the audacity to do such a thing.

"Oh no, she didn't," Seth chimes in. "You want me to kick that bitch's ass?"

We all start laughing at Seth's over protectiveness.


"So why are we doing this now?" Seth is learning a lot this morning.

"It keeps your cuticles from getting dry," Alice informs Seth about proper nail care.

We are all sitting in massage chairs with our feet in tubs of warm bubbling water and our hands are carefully placed in little dishes of oil. I can't help but smile when I look over at Seth and see him with his pants rolled up to his knees and his hands daintily placed in oil as he looks at everything quizzically.

"So girls, are we all happy with our dresses?" Rosalie asks.

"Oh yes!" Alice beams. "It was so sweet of the guys to get us our very own designers. We won't have to worry about wearing the same thing as someone else."

"Huh," Seth huffs.

"What?" I look at him curiously.

"At least you get to have more choices than two." He stares down at his oil covered fingers. "I will look just like every other guy there. I just have to choose, bow tie or regular tie. No one ever notices the guy."

"Oh, Seth. That's not true. There is nothing more attractive than a guy who is fitted perfectly in a tux. I bet a lot of girls notice you tonight." Alice consoles his worry.

"You really think so? I mean the tailor did say my tux fit like a glove."

"I'm sure you will be the bell of the ball tonight." Rosalie jokes with him as she bats her eyelashes.

"Ha, ha." Seth mocks as we all join in laughter

"I'm so excited for tonight. I just have this feeling something exciting is going to happen. Who knows, maybe Seth will meet his soul mate tonight." Alice beams with her usually enthusiasm.

"Well if you see her, let me know. I seem to be clueless when it comes to understanding you women." Seth lays his head back in his chair. "Although I completely understand why you guys enjoying coming here."

"You've been very quiet Bella…are you excited for tonight?" Rosalie turns her head to look at me.

"I can't wait. I think it will be a night to remember." I give her a reassuring smile and drift back into my thoughts.

I think I will wait until after Edward gives his speech and we have our first dance, then I will ask him to go out to the courtyard and I will tell him how I feel under the stars. It feels fitting since that is where we had our first official date, under the stars and lit by the moonlight, I will tell him I love him.
