Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Gracie’s POV:

We arrived at the Golden Spa around 1pm. Kayla booked a VIP room for us all the night before. The Spa was beautiful. The walls were all in floral décor, there were hints of gold trimming throughout the paintings. It had beautiful water fountains with lighting that changed colors. The flooring was laminated marble with gold trimming. As we walked to the front counter, we were greeted by a young woman named Evette.

“Madam Chris, thank you so much for choosing the Golden Spa to host your congratulatory celebration!”

Congratulatory Celebration?

I thought this was just a simple spa day. I wondered what we would be celebrating. I dismissed my thoughts; I was sure Kayla would explain. Still, I felt a ping of guilt, if we were celebrating someone I would have liked to have gotten them a gift. Too bad I didn’t have a cheat code for this part of my life. I laughed inwardly at myself.

As we made our way to the VIP room, my eyes began to widen; the room was exquisite! The artwork, the flooring, even the chairs and massage tables were works of art! Kayla smiled brightly at me as she grabbed my hand.

“Gracie, I know my brother is waiting until September to announce his recovery and your engagement; but your birthday is literally in a few days and I’m so happy about the wedding!!! I just wanted to do something to show my appreciation for you!”

I stared at Kayla in shock. So, ‘I‘ was the ‘Congratulatory Celebration?‘. Tears began to swell up my eyes causing Kayla to hug me tightly. Suddenly, Londyn and Jackie came over with tears and hugs.

“Y’all are going to make me ruin my makeup!”

Londyn yelled out threw sobs causing us all to laugh.

After we got set up in our spa chairs, we all sipped wine while we talked and gossiped.

“So, Gracie exactly when is your birthday?”

“July 7th.”

Jackie’s eyes widen, realizing the date was closer than she’d known.

“Wait! That’s in like four days! OMG! How old are you turning?”

Londyn asked as she picked out a nail color.

“Yeah it’s pretty close…and I’ll be 20.”

“What!! You’re a baby!!”

“Yeahhh…not that you look it! I mean in terms of looks, you look super young; but I assumed you were like my age.”

50

Jackie giggled as she sipped her wine. With the exception of Kayla and me; everyone else was either 23 or 24. I laughed aloud as well. The truth was mentally I was already 26 thanks to my previous life; so naturally I was more mature than I should be.

“I thought for sure you were my brother’s age. You’re just a year older than me! No wonder he loves you

so much! You’re as mature as he is!”

I blushed at the thought of Kai loving me. Did he love me? I knew beyond a doubt I loved him, but how would I know if his feelings were love or gratitude? Lost in thought, I was immediately brought back to the now after hearing Londyn’s confession.

“Londyn, you like Tyler???”

Londyn blushed bright red. She quickly placed her hands over her eyes in embarrassment.

“Oh god!!! I know!!! He’s so cute though! And he’s one of the few people NOT afraid of Kai!”

We all laughed at that. It was true, Tyler wasn’t afraid of Kai at all, not even when he would give him that infamous death glare of his.

“Well, well…looks like we have to play matchmaker.”

Kayla had a mischievous grin on her face; I could tell her matchmaking wheels were already turning. Wanting to change the subject, Londyn asked me about the wedding.

“So! Are y’all planning a big wedding; or is my cousin going to be all quiet and corny?”

Before I could answer, Kayla shouted,

“WHAT!!! This is about to be the wedding of the year!!! I’m planning an entire event!!!”

Londyn’s eyes widen as if she were remembering something.

“O–Okay Kayla….but this is going to be like my birthday…right?”

50

Jackie smirked and shook her head as she sipped more wine. Londyn was looking nervously at Kayla. I had to ask.

“Umm…what happened on your birthday?”

Londyn looked at me nervously.

“So, for my 21st birthday…Kayla planned the party. Let’s just say it made people feel insecure about parties for like two years.”

“WHAT!!! That party was freaking amazing!!”

“It was a weekend concert!”

WHAT!!!

My eyes widen as Londyn explained her birthday bash. Kayla booked the world’s most famous singers and entertainers and held a three day weekend spring jam. It really WAS a concert.

“Hey! Everybody had a damn ball!!”

“You almost ended KRS’s Spring fling concerts.‘
