Alena looked around the spa’s waiting area. There weren’t any chairs in the room, thankfully because the room wasn’t very big. The tan marble floors and ceiling were draped with bright purple curtains that hung pretty low, leaving not much headroom for the girl who barely stood five foot ten in her shoes. She knew she was tall, but she couldn’t imagine anyone standing in here that was taller than her. She stood in front of the small brown wooden desk, waiting for someone to come out and greet her. She had only been there a minute, but was taken by surprise. The place didn’t look like any spa she had ever been to before. In fact it barely seemed like a spa.

A woman emerged from the back, her long blonde hair cascading along her shoulders before trailing down past her elbows. Alena wondered how long she must have grown it out to get that length, her own hair cutting off just below her ears before being spiked outward. She knew that it made her look like a mid two thousand’s crush, but the twenty eight year old never really out grew the style.

“Hi. Sorry if you had to wait long. You caught me on my lunch break.” The woman wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. “How can we help you today?”

“Sorry. I didn’t know.”

“Think nothing of it.” The woman brushed the hair from her face with a quick flick of her wrist. She smiled back at Alena.

“Umm. I hope I’m in the right place. This is the Full Body Rejuvenation spa right?”

The woman laughed softly covering her mouth with her fingertips. “You and everyone else who comes in here asks the same question. We may not seem like much up front but we have a large scale operation in the back. Were you looking for anything specific?”

“I really don’t know. Things are just a lot right now and I could really use some time to relax. I’ve never really done this thing before.” It was true. Alena had never actually gone to a spa before now or ever considered the option. But things had been ramping up lately at work and her boyfriend had been fighting with her a lot lately. She just needed a break and some me time.

“Well we have a number of packages available-“

Alena’s phone began to ring. She groaned and fished it out of her pocket looking at it and groaning. “Sorry. Let me take this really fast.” She turned around and raised the phone to her ear. Immediately the sound of her boyfriend began to come across the phone, chewing her out instantly. He had been doing it so much that Alena had just begun to mentally tune him out whenever he was like this.

“If you’re this unhappy with me why don’t you just pack up your stuff and leave. I don’t want to keep dealing with this sort of thing.” Alena sighed rubbing her forehead. She was hitting her breaking point. “Fine. If you want to break up then let’s do that. Be out of my place by the end of the day. Just leave the key under the doormat.” She paused to a loud scream and hoped the receptionist wouldn’t hear it over the phone. “Yeah well fuck you too.” She hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Slowly Alena turned around back to the person at the front desk to instead find two people standing there. Joining the woman from before was a slightly smaller woman, she couldn’t have been more than a five foot six and must have been one of the people who worked in the back. She wore a pair of tan pants with a floral pattern running up them. The flowers continued up her muted purple top. She sported a similar hairstyle to Alena except that her hair was cut shorter, just about in the middle of her ears. She also seemed a lot bubblier even though she looked older then the taller woman. “Oh. Um. Sorry if you overheard.”

“You wouldn’t be the first person to come in here dealing with those kind of issues.” The blonde woman said. “So I’m thinking what you really need is our Full Body and Mind Package. It is an overnight package including dinner, breakfast, and your own private room upstairs to spend the night.”

“You have rooms here for overnight?”

“Yes! We offer comprehensive packages to suit any sort of need. Hi I’m Madison, I’ll be your personal attendant, masseuse, and be here to help you with anything you need.” Madison, the shorter girl smiled and gave a polite wave.

Alena shook her head confused. “Sorry. This doesn’t sound like any type of spa I’ve ever heard of before.”

“We’re a comprehensive spa taking a new approach to relaxation and care for the body and mind. So far the results have been positive.” The blonde said smiling. “Plus we have a no payment unless satisfied policy. We’re aware it is unconventional, but we’d rather make sure that you have the experience you want than make you pay for one you don’t.”

“Wait. So if I just said I didn’t enjoy myself then I wouldn’t have to pay?”

“Exactly. Although nobody ever seems to not enjoy themselves. I can also say that Madison is one of our finest attendants. She always makes sure that her clients have the absolute perfect experience tailored to their needs.”

“I try to make sure that I always leave my clients satisfied.” Madison blushed and looked at her hands.

Alena felt a bit of warmness creep into her cheeks. Madison was pretty cute when she blushed. She brushed the thought from her mind, she was recently single, and that wasn’t appropriate for her to think about. “Okay. So the Full treatment package. How…um how much is it…?”

“It comes out to one hundred and fifty dollars even after tax. Tip is included as well, however you are welcome to tip more should you wish to.”

Alena’s eyes looked at the pair confused. “You can’t be serious. That’s cheaper than a hotel or the two meals. You can’t possibly be making money at that rate. You profits can’t be enough to sustain this place.”

The pair chuckled for a moment. Madison wiped her eyes. “This place was created to provide a service, not make profits. As long as we provide good service, we’re not worried. Plus we haven’t run into any issues with money yet after two years.”

Alena blinked stunned. Was this place really so popular and she never heard about it. Not that she went to or talked about spas, or had many female friends to talk to things about, but still, you’d think there would be news articles at least.

Madison moved around the counter to stand next to Alena. She reached out and took Alena’s hand with both of hers. Alena marveled at how soft her skin was yet how firm her grip was. “It would be my pleasure to take care of you. What do you say?”

Alena’s lips parted a bit as she let out a slow breath. The smaller woman was so beautiful looking up at her with those eyes. She wondered what a massage would feel like, her hands running over Alena’s body, loosening her muscles, pushing away the tension. “Yeah…why not…”

Madison beamed brightly. “Alrighty!”

“If you can just sign this. It’s a basic receipt saying that you’ll be financially responsible at the end of your visit for the package. Otherwise, I believe Madison will handle the rest.”

Alena slipped her hand free from the masseuses grip and walked towards the desk. She picked up the pen and glanced over the sheet. It seemed to be a pretty basic receipt. She pressed the pen down, the ink signing on the bottom line for her. She placed it down with the pen. The blonde woman took both the pen and paper back behind the desk. “Have fun. I look forward to hearing about your experience tomorrow.”

“Thanks!” Alena turned towards her attention towards Madison.

“Follow me. I’ll get you situated in.” She walked off stepping behind the curtained off doorway. Alena followed, brushing the purple curtains out of her way as she did. “This place is a fully inclusive spa. It’s easy to get lost though, so don’t go wandering off too much. There is a process and procedure in place for each client and as you finish each treatment, both us and you will find and plot out the next steps in your package.” Madison stopped turning into a doorway on the right. It was an open doorway that Alena followed her in. She noticed Madison stop and slide off the pair of purple slipper she had been wearing, instead standing barefoot on the tiled floor.

The room was a locker room, the walls lined with purple lockers that were stacked two high. Again, curtains hung from the ceiling down. On the far side, Alena could make out what seemed to be changing rooms sealed off behind purple doors, each with a golden handle on them. “Alright. Go ahead and pick any locker you want. I’ll get you a robe and a lock for it. We have a strict no phone policy so you’ll want to make sure you turn it off and put it in there with your clothes after you change.”

“Wait change. What about my underwear or clothes?”

“We will provide you with outfits and modesty garments if you so wish, however all of our employees are very comfortable and willing to do whatever is required to make you comfortable. You would not be the first person to be afraid of baring themselves.” Madison turned around fumbling with a door hidden behind a curtain. She opened it, disappearing inside.

Alena couldn’t believe this. They wanted her to walk around naked. Not walk around naked, but at least be naked during treatments. It seemed so unnecessary, but to them it was normal.

“Here you go.” Madison emerged shutting the door behind her. In her arms was a large plush robe in vibrant purple and a lock. She held them out towards Alena.

“Ummm. Thanks.” Alena smelled the florals wafting off of the robe. It smelled like fresh flowers but sweeter. “You said that all the employees would do whatever was needed to make me feel comfortable. What did you mean by that?”

Madison stepped closer slowly. She reached up her hands running them over Alena’s bare arms. She slid them up higher, pausing under the sleeves of Alena’s shirt, tracing her thumb over the taller woman’s bicep. “We are trained to serve you in any way you so desire. What would you like me to call you?”

Alena’s throat dried up instantly. Was Madison flirting with her or was this just something they did. She was single now, but this, it seemed so inappropriate. “A-Alena” Alena stammered out her cheeks growing redder by the second.

Madison blushed and stepped back. “I hope you don’t mind my forwardness. Some clients prefer a direct approach to understanding. I am here to help you in any way you need Alena. I overheard your call earlier and will gladly help you in any way you need.”

“Heh. Yeah. Thanks. I’m going to go change now if that’s okay? Is it okay?”

Madison giggled her shoulders shaking. “Please do. I will be here waiting for you afterwards.”

Alena quickly turned and headed into the nearest stall opening and quickly shutting the door behind her. She clicked the lock, turning it before leaning her back against the door panting. Madison had just suggested offering Alena, Alena couldn’t even think it. She hadn’t slept with a girl since college and even then that was just a one night thing while drunk. Sure she had considered she might be bisexual, but it wasn’t something that you just did, on a whim, at a spa, with your personal handler, no matter how cute she might be. She was pretty cute though.

Alena sighed and began to undress. First things first. She needed to change. She didn’t need to do anything she didn’t want to do, she just needed to come and relax and if things ended up ending there with Madison, it could be relaxing, or at least fun. Alena really needed some fun. She had just broken up with her boyfriend and now would have to find a way to make up the rent, albeit the very little bit, that he was paying. That was another thing she’d have to worry about tomorrow. That and making sure he was actually gone, cleaning up the apartment because he’d definitely leave it a mess, and everything else.

Alena slipped the robe over her shoulders, the sweet smell of flowers flowing into her nose with each breath. She sighed and let herself relax a bit as she tied it around her tightly. She didn’t need anyone catching a peek at her just yet, they might think her indecent. The fabric was quite soft on her body and she enjoyed the feeling of it against her skin. Slowly she picked up her phone, turning it off. Alena grabbed her clothes and the lock, opening the door.

Madison was standing there, waiting for her. “No issues?”

Alena shook her head. “None.” She turned towards the nearest locker opening it. She gently put her stuff inside of it, setting it all onto the shelf. She closed the door, checking over her shoulder at Madison as she put on the lock. She set the three digit code, her cat’s birthday, before jumbling it. She grabbed at the door, tugging on it to make sure that the lock held. To her delight, it did.

“All set.” Alena said crossing her arms over her chest. “So what now?”

Madison smiled brightly and clapped her hands together softly. “Now we’re going to get you into an immersion bath. Judging by your discomfort over your recent breakup, I think some alone time would be good allowing you to reflect on yourself. If you’d like, I could join you or send in one of our sound bath specialists. I must admit that it is not my skillset to assist you.”

Alena had heard of an immersion bath before. It seemed a bit like phoniness to her but she was here to relax, and they were the experts. “Um. I don’t know. I don’t feel comfortable with someone else seeing me naked in a pool.”

“I can provide you a modesty bathing suit if you would prefer. I will mention that the room will remain in near pitch darkness so you would not be seen if you would not wish to be.” Madison turned around but kept looking back over her shoulder. “Plus don’t tell me that you’ve never been skinny dipping before.”

Alena was surprised at how forward the smaller girl was. “Yeah. Years ago in college when I was drunk. But since then no. Plus I’m sure you did dumb things in college.”

“I skipped out on it. I’m only twenty five so I went to vocational school instead. Paid off in the long run. That being said, anything dumb that I do, always serves my best interests.” Madison smirked and turned towards the door heading for it. “Follow me Alena. Let’s go get you into a bath.”
