Jerry, Oliver, Sam, Dov, and Nick had just driven the half of the night to make it to the cabin by morning. They were waiting on Ms. Nash call to let them know it was okay to go to the cabin because the girls had left for their fun filled spa day. They had discussed everything they needed to do before the ladies returned to the cabin. Jerry, Dov, and Oliver were going to decorate and select the music, while Sam and Nick had to prepare dinner.
"So Sam, how did you become such a great cook? Dov asked eager to find out so he could learn some tips so he could cook for Sue.
"My mom is an excellent cook, so I guess I took after her" feeling pleased with himself
"So you have Dov greeting the ladies when they arrive home? That might not be such a good idea seeing how Gail just might strangle him when she sees he is at the cabin?" Nick pointed out to Jerry
"Yeah because murder doesn't go with romance" Jerry was laughing when he made his comment
"Okay how about we put Oliver to greet them? Because they like him and he is just too cute to kill" as Jerry pinched his cheeks
"You know I get that a lot that I am so adorable" with a big smile spreading across Oliver's face.
They sat in Sam's truck planning all what they needed to do and how they can't wait to see the special lady in each of their lives faces when they see what all they had done. Sam just sat there thinking about Andy and how he could not wait to see her. If her answer is that she feels the same way about him they would finally start their relationship that has avoided them for so long. He didn't think negative at her rejecting him this was their time. Then Jerry's phone rings, "Hello? Okay thanks Ms. Nash I will keep you posted?" as he hung up the phone.
"Alright boys in the words of Dov, let's rock and roll" as he looked at Sam to start the truck and head to the cabin.

The ladies walked into this very elegant building with servers greeting you at the door with champagne and fresh fruit. The ladies were in wow as they observed the place as Gail walked to the front desk to check in.
"Hello welcome to Heaven on Earth Spa and Salon how may I help you?" the up-front receptionist greeted Gail
"Yes I am checking in we have the ultimate experience package under Peck" Gail told her
"Oh yes Mrs. Peck so glad you chose our spa for your ultimate experience you will not be disappointed? Angela could you please show these lovely ladies to the changing area?".
As Gail and everyone followed the lady to the changing area they were like kids in the candy store as the passed every door or corner of what they saw. They changed into their robes and headed to the spa room.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Okay let's get in and get everything together before they get back? Now from what Ms. Nash told us we are looking at least six hours with all that they got planned" Jerry suggested to them
"Okay do you think they left a spare key around here somewhere so we can get in" Dov asked as he looked under the welcome mat.
"Really we are coppers and we can't even do a simple break and entry?" Oh I got this step aside ladies" Nick told them as he had picked the lock just that quick. They just stood back and watched as he opened the door and motioned them to go in.
"What I was not always a copper as a kid I did things and that is that" Nick said smiling as he was the last one to walk through the door.
"Wow the Peck's do have great taste might I add" as Oliver stood around admiring the cabin
"Okay men let get this show on the road we are on borrowed time before the ladies return? Sam and Nick you go ahead and start in the kitchen and Oliver, Dov and I will get started in here" Jerry told everyone.
Sam and Nick headed in the kitchen so they could start preparing the meal. Sam was eager to prepare this meal for Andy and for the other ladies as well.
"So what master piece are you putting together Swarek?" Nick was intrigued and anxious to know as well
"Well I thought I would cook a rack of lamb, baby red potatoes, asparagus with light cheese sauce, and a small spinach salad with a raspberry dressing and for dessert chocolate covered stuffed strawberries? Sounds good?" Sam waited on Nick's response and approval
"I want to be just like you" Nick said Sam could do nothing but laugh he thought Nick's comment was funny. "No really? You are confident in what you do you just have this swag about you"
"Not really? The one thing I want more than anything I chicken out every time when it comes to me revealing my feelings to her" Sam just sighed at his own comment.
"That's all men Sam don't feel bad because when it comes to Gail I chicken out as well? It's going on six months and I haven't said nothing such a wuss" Nick said with a laugh
"How about three years I think I have you beat Collins" oh yeah you have me beat and besides she feels the same way about you" Nick told him
"I want to take your word Nick but I would like to hear it from her" Sam told him "besides we better get started if we want this meal done before the ladies get back" and with that being said they got started on the meal at hand.

"That was the best massage I have ever had and I have never had one" Tracy said laughing
"I know right I needed this so bad! It did help me take my mind off Dov for an hour" as she seem to fade off to memory-land
"I know I miss my Ollie so much, and don't get me wrong I love the spa and girl's weekend but I do wish my man was here" she gave off a school girl giggle
"Hey maybe if we could get away from Gail for about ten minutes we could give them a text or call?" Zoe suggested to them
"Sounds like a plan to me? But how are we going to get away?" Tracy asked hoping they would have ideas
"Fine I will distract her so you can call your men, but may I just add I want one of my own and he goes by the name Sam Swarek so you better get to wrapping because I so want him under me I meant under my tree" they all started laughing at Andy's comment. Andy then managed to preoccupy Gail for about ten minutes but it didn't matter because the guys were too busy to answer.

Jerry, Oliver, and Dov were still decorating the house when Jerry's phone rang? "It's Tracy she is calling me I wonder what for?" Jerry looked puzzled
"Answer it to see what they are doing and if they are heading home?" Dov looking very concern now
"I am not answering it something might give us away Epstein" Jerry told him
So they went back to decorating the cabin, they had put three hours in and it felt like it as well. So they took a break. They discussed on all they needed to last and what to expect when they came home Sam could hardly wait to see McNally himself, it felt like an eternity all he wanted was to see her big brown beautiful eyes. Jerry's phone interrupted their planning "yes this is Jerry Barber? That sounds great I will be here thank you" and then Jerry hung up the phone.
"Who was that Barber?" Sam asked "that was the string quartet that will be here in 45 minutes so we need to finish up quick men so we can get ready ourselves" Jerry jumping up
"The food is on track we can help in here with anything? Sam offered
"Okay you and Nick can set the candles while I finish sprinkling the white snow all around" as he ordered Oliver and Dov to finish the lighting. At one point they saw Jerry on the phone but he never got around to telling them who it was.
When they were finish the candles were set all around the cabin, the lights were lowered so everything was in candlelight. Fresh white and red roses all around the cabin with sprinkled snow and rose petals and with a string quartet playing softly in the background everything was perfection, now all they needed to do were to get cleaned up and change and wait on the ladies arrival.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The ladies had a remarkable day at the spa it was truly unforgettable they did not want to leave they loved the pampering and being waited on. As they headed back to the changing room to change they did not see their clothes that they came on with? They did see five beautiful evening gowns to die for but it had to be a mistake?
"Excuse me our clothes are not in the changing room could you please explain that?" Gail asked the up-front receptionist
"No those are your gowns they arrived for you? I was asked to placed them in the changing room" she explained
"On who's orders?" Sue asked "I believe the name was Ms. Nash? And the note said enjoy you're your girl's weekend" the receptionist explained them
"Tracy did you know anything about this? "No but my mom was acting funny on the phone this is what she was up to? But I am not mad at her?" Tracy told the other ladies
"Let's go put on some gowns" Gail told the ladies as they made their way back to the changing room. Each dress had each lady name on it. Zoe gown was a beautiful emerald green, as for Sue had a flowing purple gown. Gail how ever had a silk red gown with a high split up her leg, and Tracy had a black eye dropping plunging neckline gown. Andy had a white one shoulder goddess gown. They all showered and changed into their gowns. They felt like royalty leaving the spa and heading back to the cabin for pure bliss.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Alright the ladies should be here any minute you guys set to blow their minds?" Jerry asked the all
They all looked so handsome in their tuxedo awaiting their Cinderella. They were ready to wow that special woman that had stolen each and every one of their hearts. Nick couldn't wait to see Gail as did Jerry, Dov, and especially Sam. Just then they saw headlights from a car pull up and they all got very nervous. They had all agreed to greet each woman with a single red rose when they walked through the door.
"Well ladies we are all dressed up so let's go make this night memorable" Andy suggested
"Hey maybe after a few drinks I might get up the courage to call Nick and tell him he is so hot and that I want him?" Gail told the ladies
"I knew it? You missed the guys just as much as we did?" Tracy teased her. The ladies made it to the door as Gail unlocked the door and to their surprise stood five handsome men awaiting their arrival with a long stem red rose.
"Oh my goodness!" Andy let slip out when she saw the surroundings and one of the men that were standing there was Sam staring at her with a smile that made her heart melt!
