Chapter 6: Spa Day and Old friends
After crying most of the night I finally went to bed. I wake up in the morning feeling groggy.
I get up and go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. My face looks puffy and my eyes are red.
"Ugh, I am not going to class today", I say.
I brush my teeth and shower. I change into clean pj's and get back into bed. I reach for silky and clutch him to my chest. Xavier words last night continues to burn in my memory. "You're more of an idiot than I thought you were" he said. The fact that he called me stupid and that he said I was stupider than he already thought hurt even more. I started to wonder if Xavier and I relationship was a complete lie. A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts.
"Come in", I say.
Donna walks in holding a plate of chocolate chip pancakes.
"I thought these might make you feel better", Donna says.
I smile and take the plate, "Thanks"; I say and start to eat.
Donna nods, "No problem...So I'm guessing you're not going to class today?" Donna asks.
I shake my head "No, I think I'm just going to stay in for the day", I say.
"Ok, well I'll let you know what you miss", Donna says.
"Thanks….For everything" I say and give Donna a hug.
"It's no problem Kori", She says.
"I know", I say.
Donna then leaves for class. I finish my pancakes and decide to watch some TV. I grab my blanket, pillow, and phone and go to the couch.
I turn on the TV and start flipping through channels. I check my phone and see that there are 3 missed calls from Xavier.
'He has some nerve' I think to myself and erase the call log. I was still angry at him about last night and didn't feel like talking to him.
I flip through channels and end up watching Batman Begins. 'Huh I never noticed how much Christian Bale and Bruce Wayne look alike' I think to myself.
As I become engrossed into the movies my phone rings. I check the caller id and see that Bee is calling.
I smile, 'I haven't spoken to her in forever', I think to myself and pick up the phone.
"Hey Bee", I say.
"Hey Kori, how are you", she says.
"I've been better …Xavier and I had a fight", I say.
"Oh no what did that asshole do?" Bee asks.
"He said I was more of an idiot than he thought I was", I say and feel anger inside me again.
"What! I outta kick his ass!"Bee says angrily.
"It's not worth, I can handle it", I say.
"I know you can Kori, anyway I called to see if you wanted to have a spa day with me?"Bee asks.
"Sure", I say, "That would be perfect"
"Great I'll pick you up in an hour", Bee says.
I hang up the phone and smile. 'A spa day would be perfect' I think to myself. I definitely am stressed from all my relationship problems and a spa day with Bee would be a perfect chance to relax. I get up to my room to go get dressed. I put on my purple mojabe top with some coral jeans and brown wedges.
I go to the kitchen and fix a corn dog with extra mustard for a quick snack. After I finish eating Bee text me that she is downstairs. I grab my purse and keys and leave the dorm.
I walk downstairs and see Bee's car waiting in the parking lot. I walk over to the car and Bee unlocks the door for me.
"Hey girl, cute outfit!" Bee says and gives me a hug.
"Thanks, I love your too", I say.
After high school bee went to a fashion designer college. She even started her own clothing and shoe line. They were both sold at a couple of boutiques around town and she hopes to have a runway show and take her clothing line global.
We reach the spa and Bee parks the car.
"I looked this place up online and they got 5 stars so this sound be fun", Bee says.
We get out of the car and walk toward the spa. The lobby is a serenity garden theme complete with fountain, bamboo plants, chairs and a table where the receptionist is sitting.
"Hello, welcome to Serenity Spas", the receptionist says.
"Hi, reservations for Bee Blanchard please", Bee says.
The receptionist checks the list and smiles, "Right this way", She says and leads us to the locker rooms.
"I hope you enjoy your spa day", the receptionist says and leaves.
Bee and I go change into our robes.
"What do you want to do first?" Bee asks.
"Hmm I think massages would be nice", I say.
Another woman walks in the locker room "Hello I'm Leila I will be helping you today, what would you like to do first?" Leila.
"Massages", Bee says.
Leila nods, "Right this way", she says and Bee and I follow her.
After a back massage and a mud bath I began to feel a lot better. Bee and I decide to get manicure's and pedicure's as well.
"So how are you and Vic?"I ask.
"Good, he has an internship at STAR labs, it's his dream job ", Bee says and smiles and I giggle.
"You must be proud", I say.
"Yea I am", Bee says, "I call him Sparky now because he spends so much time working on technology", Bee says and laughs," He says he hates it but I secretly think he likes it", Bee says.
"I would too, it's better than spark plug or something", I say and Bee laughs.
After our manicure's and pedicure's Bee and I go back to the locker room and change back into our normal clothes. I check my phone and see there is more calls from Xavier. I frown and delete them immediately. 'I am not going to let him ruin my day' I think to myself.
"Hey you want to go meet Vic for lunch?" Bee asks.
"Sure", I answer.
We then leave the spa to meet Vic for lunch. We reach the restaurant and park the car. As we walk in the restaurant I see Vic waving from a booth nearby and he isn't alone. My hearts skips a beat as I realize who is next to him.
"Yo Bee! Kori! You never believe who I found", Vic says. Bee and I walk over the booth.
"Dick, is that you?" Bee says.
"In the flesh, good to see you Bee", Richard says and stands up to give her a hug.
After he hugs Bee, Richard eyes lock on mine and I am lost for words.
"Hey Kori", he says casually and smiles and I feel my heart start to soar.
"Hi, Richard", I say and give him an awkward wave.
"Give me a hug little lady", Vic says and picks me up in a bear hug.
I giggle, "It's so good to see you Vic", I say.
Vic lets me go and sits next to Bee, which meant that I have to sit next to Richard.
"After you", He says.
I slide in the booth and Richard sits down next to me.
"So how did you run into Richard?" Bee asks.
"He called me today and wanted to catch up so I invited him to lunch", Vic says.
"Oh", I say.
We then look at the pizza menu. After arguing a bit over toppings we then decide to get 2 large pizza and spilt the toppings half and half.
"How was your spa day?" Richard asks.
"It was nice", I say, "I feel much better now after what happened yesterday"
Richard looks concern, "What happened?" He asks.
I feel the tears in my eyes, "I rather not talk about it", I say quietly. I look down at my lap and fold my hands together. I start to examine my fingers when suddenly Richard hand reaches for mine. I fill chills down my spine as soon as we touch.
"You know you can tell me anything", Richard says softly.
I give him a small smile, "I know". The truth was I knew I could tell Richard anything but I was afraid of his reaction when I told him things. Richard has always been quick-tempered. I knew that if I told him about what Xavier said to me he would do something irrational.
The waitress puts our pizzas on the table and we dig in. Richard lets me eat most of our pizza, while Vic almost ate everyone's pizza.
"Some things never change", Bee says and everyone laughs.
After eating pizza Vic and Bee leave. Bee had a fashion crisis at one of the boutiques while Vic had to go back to STAR labs. Richard offered to take me home and I was too happy to oblige.
"Do you want to get some ice cream?" Richard asks.
"Sure, that sounds nice", I reply.
We get into Richard's car and drive to a local ice cream parlor. We park and get out the car and go inside.
"One chocolate ice cream and one mint chocolate chip ice cream with zoraberries" Richard orders then winks at me.
I giggle surprised that he remembers my usually ice cream order. We get our ice cream and sit at one of the café style tables outside.
"How do you remember so much about me?" I ask.
Richard stops eating, "I think the real question is how I could not remember, the best memories of my life are the ones I shared with you Kori" He says.
I blush "Oh" I reply calmly even though my heart melts as soon as he said that. 'Oh gosh he is so romantic' I think to myself.
We continue eating our ice cream occasionally making small talk.
"Kori, what happened yesterday, that made you upset?" Richard asks.
I gulp, I am unprepared for that question and I was hoping he would forget to ask me again.
"Well Xavier and I got into a fight…" I say
"There's more to the story isn't there", Richard says calmly.
I nod "He saw the flowers you gave me and he got jealous when I told him you and I went to dinner, I told him we were just friends and he said that if I actually believed that I was a bigger idiot than he thought", I say bracing for Richard reaction.
"He said that", Richard says coldly. I notice that his hands are in fist clenched so hard that his knuckles are white.
"Yes", I say quietly.
"That asshole has some nerve", Richard says and his body stiffens.
"Richard please, just forget about it, I can handle it", I say. I place my hand on one of Richard's fist and I feel his body relax.
"You deserve better than that Kori, you are beautiful, smart, talented, and the sweetest person I know, you deserve someone better, you deserve—", Richard says but I interrupt him
"Someone like you" I say out loud instead of in my mind.
Richard then looks at me surprised, "Yes", he says.
There is no denying it now. The feelings that I had tried to avoid and put in the back of my mind and hidden had now come into the light. I know now that it's true and I need to accept that
'I am in love with Richard Grayson' I think to myself.
