Rating: getting closer to that R. Might even be there in some opinions just not mine!
A/N: Okay now we're up to Mac at the hotel getting ready to for her evening. I've never been to that particular part of California so I'm going from internet research. The spa named does really exist and is in the San Diego area. The room is the room pictured on Hotel La Jolla's website. The dress is from Nordstorms and the lingerie and shoes from Victoria's Secret.
Thanks everyone for all the wonderful feedback!
** Hotel La Jolla At the Shore* approximately 5pm PDT
I've just returned from an afternoon spent at Beauty Kliniek Spa with Trish. We had Plaisir Du Sens facials, aroma therapy messages, manicures and pedicures. I can't remember the last time I felt this relaxed. I had some of the same things done the day of my wedding rehearsal and I don't remember it making me feel this relaxed. I wonder if the difference is what I'm preparing to do. Or rather what I'm not preparing to do. I'm not getting ready to marry a man I don't love just so I have somebody in my life. I really thought I needed somebody in my life. However, in the two years since Mic left me to return to Australia I've come to understand there are worse things than being alone. I regret not realizing that sooner. If I had, maybe Mic wouldn't have stalled out his career to be with me and maybe Harm and I would have made progress. Trish tells me that part of what has Harm so convinced I don't love him is how close I came to marrying Mic. I did an excellent job of convincing everyone that marriage to Mic was what I wanted. Hell, I even had myself convinced though I know now it would have never worked.
My hotel room is more of a suite. It has a table and chair on the terrace with a view of the ocean. I have a desk with a padded chair, another chair with an ottoman and a large bed with bright yellow bedding and lots of pillows. The room is very relaxing and inviting. I place my purse on the desk and get things ready for tonight. I get my dress out of the closet where I hung it earlier today. I retrieve my toiletries' bag and head to the bathroom to shower.
I've never been one for perfume so I tend to toiletries that all have the same scent. I buy everything at Bath and Body Works. I have lavender body wash, lavender lotion and lavender body spray. After I finish with the body spray, I put on my new lingerie that I bought just for this occasion. I haven't been bothering with the sexy stuff lately but I decided to for this. I have a white lace, strapless bra and white lace bikini underpants. White lace makes me feel feminine and romantic. Black lace makes me feel trampy. That's probably why I stopped with the fancy stuff. Mic always complained about the white lace he preferred black and really couldn't understand my feelings on the subject. I'm quite sure either Harm will not care what color the lace is as long as it's lace.
I put slippers on my feet to protect my thigh high hose and head back to the bathroom to my hair and makeup. I dry my hair and add some soft curl to my hair. I keep my makeup simple and soft. I have foundation, a little bit of blush, some glitter to my eyes and lip gloss. I want to kiss Harm, not cover him goop.
My hair and make up done I head back to the bedroom to finish getting dressed. My dress is a simple black silk slip dress with a long sheer scarf. The dress has spaghetti straps, a hidden zipper and ends at my knees. My shoes are black heels with laces that wrap around my ankles and tie in the back. I'm not sure why but black dresses don't have the same effect on my as black lingerie. While the lingerie makes me feel trampy, black dresses make my feel elegant and self confident.
I transfer the few things I needed into a small evening bag and make sure everything's put away. Consulting my internal clock I realize it's 6:45 so grabbing my wrap I head downstairs to the car Trish promised would be waiting for me.
