Chapter 64: Chapter Sixty-Four

Olivia

It's Thursday, two days before the wedding. Everything has come together in a beautiful way. Although I haven't had a hand with everything, I was able to at least help when I was allowed.

Desiree is worse than Jason, mom and Mrs Belle combined. As soon as she heard I had crashed, she closed shop. She and her husband have been staying in the house since they arrived on Monday. She's been making sure that I get rested up, I eat and I have mind work done when necessary. She is like a mother hen taking care of her children. I honestly didn't know this side of her. But I really like it, it still proves to me that I made a good choice in being her friend.

Today Jason organised a massage group to come and massage me and Desiree. I told him that if he also doesn't get a massage then I'm not getting it too. I am going to get it even if he doesn't but we've both been stressed and tired and also anxious lately. I told him he could get it in a separate room because he was going on about sharing a room with Desiree. Plus, maybe her husband will also want a massage then we could get a couple's massage.

They have become close these past few days, not friends yet but they're friendly, which is good because that means it won't be a problem if Desiree and I want to visit each other. According to Jason though, Desiree's husband is too overprotective. I had to school my features when he said that because for one, I know that he's also that way, but he can't see it apparently.

The florist has done an amazing job together with the wedding planner. My garden looks amazing with natural flowers, the driveway is also lined with natural flowers, with lights in between. There is a carpet in place that also has lights on each side that goes to the tent.

And as I'm going around in the yard I am very satisfied by what I see. I am also very excited and cannot wait for Saturday. The whole wedding starts around three in the afternoon, that is when the the giving of the rings will start proceeding to the reception and then the after party so everything will end around eight in the evening.

Two cars roll in and stop by the door, I'm guessing it's the people who are going to give us massages. I rush towards them to intercept them before they knock. Their car is written on the side "Phat Massage". Four people climb out of the car and look towards the house, I can imagine what is on their minds. I think it's the same thing that I had when I saw Mountain View, "are these people crazy?"

"Hello, let me show you where to set up." They chorus their greetings as one of them follows me in the house silently.

I had one of the rooms on this floor that still was not assigned to anything cleaned and dusted so that we could set up for the massages. It's a large room like the others, so there's definitely enough space for four beds with a partition between two of them.

"You can set up in here, I will go round up the others so that we can get ready." I tell the man who was following me.

"Are you one of our clients?" He asks, seemingly surprised.

"Well yes, is that a problem?"

"No ma'am. I was not aware that you were our main client. Well let me call the others so that we get everything ready." He says rushing out.

I make a call of my own to Jason because I don't understand what just happened. "Jason, did you make the massaging company aware that there was a pregnant woman on the list?"

"Yes, have they arrived already?" He asks me ever so cool.

"Yes, I'm about to call Desiree. If you could leave your office and get down here, that would make me happy." I tell him.

"Yes dear, I will be down in a minute." He says.

I call Desiree and also tell her that she must get down here with her husband, then I head upstairs to our bedroom and take a quick shower. I know I got a shower earlier, I just don't think it's a good idea to let someone touch me when I'm not feeling as clean.

Jason walks in just as I walk out of the bathroom and tells me to hurry up everyone is waiting for me apparently. I hurry up putting on my a dress sans the underwear because it hurts to wear it these days. And I go down and join the others. They're all wearing wearing the company gowns and talking. I'm directed to one of the beds as with others and I'm told to lie on my side.

I find it easy because I've done this before. It's almost the same as back at the hospital. Although the woman massaging me is not as gentle as she should be, especially on a pregnant woman. At first I didn't complain but when she persisted, I had enough and told her to leave me alone. For some reason, it seemed as if she was taking out her anger on me. I even had the mind of chasing her out of the house.

The woman massaging Jason offers to swap with her when Jason speaks up, but I don't want them to touch me anymore, any of them. And I'm not acting like a bridezilla, I just rather not be touched by them. I'd rather go to the hospital or call them to send someone for me. I walk out, my mood ruined, telling the others they must carry on then head up to the bedroom and call the hospital.

Jason followed me in the lift, and is now standing at the foot of the bed looking at me. "I will be back down in thirty minutes, the hospital is sending the lady that had massaged me before. Go on and get a massage." I tell him.

"Aren't you afraid they're going to seduce me?" He asks and I laugh.

"They must not be afraid of death if they do." I say with a smile and urge him to go again and he does after kissing me.

And because this is my house, I tell the girl who was massaging me to move her things so that Sylvia can set up. She does so with a glare in her eyes to which I tell her "this is my house, you breathe by my rules. If you don't like said rules pick up your shit and get the fuck out of my compound." I hear Jason snicker and Desiree laugh while the girl looks very embarassed.

I get the massage of my life, and just like the last time, I fall asleep. Sylvia had come with her incense sticks and burned them. After the wedding she is definitely coming to the house again to give me a massage.
