over her shoulder and chuckled before she pushed one more button and set it in her lap.
“What are you two doing?”
“Nothing,” they said in unison. Schemers .
Glaring at them, I held my hand out. “Give me my phone, or so help me, Willow …”
Huffing and rolling her eyes, Willow handed me the phone, and I flipped to my messages.
Tugged and pulled?
Sounds kind of kinky?
I’ll show you kinky later ;)
My mouth gaped open. “Willow!”
I was just about to text him back and tell him that that was Willow when my phone vibrated again, and Willow started bouncing in her seat. I could feel my cheeks flaming as I opened the newest message.
Oh really? I look forward to it.
What was I supposed to say to that? Should I confess that it was Willow who sent that? Ultimately, I decided to leave Willow’s involvement out as I tapped out the next message.
Me too. It was a shame you
couldn’t join me in the shower
his morning…
I closed my eyes tightly and hit send.
“Aw, look! Madi’s sexting!” Willow exclaimed.
I laughed and waited for Jensen’s response.
Madison! That wasn’t me! Kyle
Got my phone after I sent the
first message!
“Oh, God!” I cried, dropping my phone to my lap and covering my mouth.
“Must have been juicy …” Willow guessed, leaning forward to grab my phone.
I shook my head, still pressing my hands tightly to my mouth. “No, it wasn’t.” I dropped my arms. “You were sexting Kyle. And then I continued it!”
Willow and Brandon’s laughter filled the salon, Georgia joining them as she continued to do my hair. My phone vibrated in my lap again, even though I had yet to answer Jensen’s last message. Terrified, I picked it up and read his newest text.
I’m sorry. I didn’t realize he took
it! And I most certainly didn’t
expect you to respond.
Smiling, I tapped out another quick response.
Actually, Willow stole my phone
and responded first. It wasn’t until
“you” enjoyed what she had to say
that I figured I’d try it.
His reply didn’t take long.
Well, even though I didn’t start it,
I did enjoy it. However, maybe we
should keep track of our phones
at all times?
I laughed, causing Willow and Brandon’s curiosity to grow.
Agreed. I should go though.
I’ll see you soon.
Can’t wait.
I turned my phone off and tucked it under my right thigh so it wouldn’t distract me any further before I turned back to Willow. As Georgia put the finishing touches on my hair before moving on to my makeup, Willow suggested several meal options for dinner the next night.
“All right,” Georgia announced, swiveling my chair to face the mirror. “What do you think?”
I leaned forward and took in my newly made-over appearance. The makeup wasn’t overdone, which was nice. She used gold and brown eye shadows to make my hazel eyes pop, yet kept everything very natural looking. But my hair … it was stunning. She had pulled it all into a low ponytail off to my right, letting it drape over my shoulder, keeping my back exposed. It was styled in large, shiny curls, and she had styled a bow out of a few strands of my own hair to conceal the elastic that held my hair in place.
“I love it, Georgia! Thank you so much!” I exclaimed, hopping out of the chair and hugging her. I wasn’t usually a hugger, but what Georgia had done definitely deserved one.
“Madi, you look fantastic!” Willow said happily. “Georgia, you did an amazing job.”
After paying and tipping Georgia generously, I looked at the time and noticed that I only had just over an hour before Jensen was going to come pick me up. “Well, I guess I should go. I’ll see you guys tomorrow night, though. Thanks again for squeezing me in, Will.”
I hugged Willow and Brandon before I left the spa and drove back to the hotel. Once I was back in our room, I grabbed my garment bag from the closet and unzipped it. I smiled before I started to unbutton my blouse to get changed. I was definitely excited
