Chapter 33: Mystical Encounters: A Night at the Whistley Spa

" hi actually, I'm just looking around. "

" You haven't been here before, have you? I would have remembered. "

" It's my first time here. I thought you just opened recently. "

" It's actually the oldest coffee shop in town. But we've been renovating for a long time. The old place become unusable. "

" Old dilapidated?"

" Pretty much. Somebody decided to brew coffee on boom beans and, well.... We had to rebuild. "

" What happens if you brew coffee on boom beans? I just start studying magic. Here at nortale. "

The man appeared startled." oh, so you're a nortale student. That's wonderful. Always a pleasure to meet future magicians. 

Boom beans explode and burn when heated if not processed. "

" So there you have it. So why would anyone add them to their coffee?"

" I wish I knew. But there's no way to ask him anymore. "

That even sounded kind of threatening. In a magical world even working in a cafe can be dangerous. 

" Anyway, we're now open again and nortale students are always welcome."

" Good to know. I'll be sure to check on you guys."

" I'll take you up on that. I always need customers. And it was a pleasure to meet you. "

I exited the cafe and continued exploring. After a few minutes, Elijah's mention of a spa resurfaced in my mind. Intrigued, I made my way there. Upon entering, I was captivated by the unique design. As I glanced around, my eyes landed on a striking redhead behind the reception desk.

" Hi"

" Welcome to whistley spa and massage. I'm Jill whistley. "

" Wow, so you're the owner?"she look young.

She replied" It's a family business. It's like that in dale almost everywhere. "

" It's an interesting feature. "

"So, how may I address you? "

I replied " My name is James. "

" James? What a beautiful name... ( Yeah, it's kind of ordinary) How can I help you, James?"

" I'm just looking around. I wanted to see what services are available here. "

She gestured towards a sign and spoke " ta-da. Our family practices many kinds of massages. Whistley salon is known throughout the area. 

Each massage is individually tailored to the client's needs. "

" Wow, that sounds really great. The last time I had a massage was at training camp before the yellow jackets game. When I got injured....."

Jill exclaimed in surprise." oh, so you're an athlete? "

I answered" Former one"

" Then you should try our massages. Your muscle are more demanding than the average. They need special care. "

I wouldn't say no to her care " how much does this service cost?"

" 75$ "

" You know, I think I'm going to try your famous massage."

Jill smiled" yay, yay, yay, I'm sure you'll love it. Go through that door over there and get ready. The massage therapist will be right with you."

" Thank you." 

I stepped through that door, greeted by a delightful ambiance. And it smells incredible. But who's going to massage me? What am I supposed to do? Is there a bell? " Excuse me. Is there someone here? What.... What should I do?"

A voice emanated from behind the curtains." Oh excuse me, I'm on my way. Take your clothes off and lie down. face down."

It isn't very comfortable to undress like this. " Do I have to take all my clothes off?"

She replied " you can leave your underwear on if you're embarrassed. "

I don't have anything to be embarrassed about....

I undressed and settled onto the massage table. Moments later, the masseuse entered the room. 

" Hi, I'm so sorry. Lost track of time while planing a pra.... Nevermind. My name is faith and I'm happy to relieve you. "

" What? "

" You know , of your muscle pain( She began to gently massage my shoulders.) your shoulders look stiff. "

" Ahhhh, it hurts...."

" It hurts to see a beautiful body treated like this. It deserves some love. 

( She placed one hand on my back while gently holding my leg.) your legs..... You were a professional sportsman, weren't you? "

" how do you know? "

She answered " It's easy to tell if someone was pushing his muscles to the limits. But don't worry sweety. I know how to treat a man. "

I swear to God she's fooling around with me.

She moved behind my feet and gently held them together. " just relax and let my touch take your pain away..... "

What the fuck, my leg.... What's going on? " It hurts..."

" I know, but I feel how brave you are. How strong you are. I know you can take it. "

I don't know if it's sexy or creepy..... Can it be both? 

" Are you comfortable? "

I start moaning form pleasure " oh yes.... It's great " 

She climbed onto my back and settled into a seated position. I swear I can feel her wet panties on my skin" that's an unusual position. "

" You have such a broad back. There's no other way I can manage. (What kind of salon is this ), you're so tense... Ah... relax your shoulders.... Ah... now we'll give them a good... stretch them. "

Is it me, or she is vibrating.... There ? 

Then she let out a sigh of pleasure. " oh..... Yeah.... What the hell is that? "

" Is something wrong? "

" Sorry, it's just... I can't get a feel of your chakras. Don't mind me. It's just a routine procedure..... Ah .... And .... That's it"

She stood up from my back. " that's it? "

" That's it, the massage is a over. Sorry, I have to run. It's very urgent. "

" Wait a minute. " Yeah, she's weird. She only made me tense. But she didn't make it any easier. 

I stood up, put on my clothes, and made my way to the reception.. Yeah .... That's was a strange massage. Hmmmm. No one is here? 

Suddenly, I began to hear voices. Like someone is cursing behind the wall. I approached to hear " are you crazy? You're embarrassing me in front a new client. Prank have limits, too. "

" Come on, he's a young guy. I'm sure he liked everything. "

" That's not the point. "

" I'm going for a walk, your angry face is freaking me out " 

Well, I'd better pretend I left earlier and didn't hear anything. I'll see what I can squeeze out of this situation next time.

 I left, realizing it was already nighttime. Since it

was late, I considered Elijah's suggestion to visit the nightclub....
