“Fuck, no. You take the pop, I’ll take the weekend getaway.”

“Well, just count yourself lucky that you’re friends with me!”

“Yeah, and that Raven was too busy to come.”

My eyes widened as my head snapped in her direction.

Shit, shit, shit.

“Relax, Leah. You two have been friends for a lifetime. I would have been shocked if you hadn’t asked her first. I’m not in the least bit offended. Hell, I’m happy you asked me at all.”

“I thought you were upset for a minute! Fuck, don’t scare me like that!”

“Sorry, honey. You know me well enough by now that I don’t get hung up over that kind of thing. Now, we’re about twenty minutes out. Do you want to check in and then go hiking?”

“Sound like a plan. Plus, my bladder is about ready to burst.”

“Check in it is!”

When we got there, Sasha parked the car and we grabbed our suitcases. We waited our turn to check in and both of us were quite excited to start our weekend.

“Hi, can I help you?” asked Jane, the girl behind the desk.

“Hi, I have a reservation under Leah Samson for the girl’s spa weekend.”

“Okay, perfect. Just give me a minute to bring that up. Wait… you mean the couples package, right?”

“No,” I answered, pulling the certificate out of my purse and handing it to her, “the girl’s getaway. Is there a problem?”

“It looks like you were booked into the wrong room. Unfortunately, we’re booked up this weekend and don’t have a different room to offer you.”

“That’s okay. We’ll just take the room you have reserved for us.”

“I… I’m not sure that will work.”

“Why not?” Sasha interjected.

“I’m afraid there’s only one bed in it.”

“That’s the problem? It’s fine, we’ll just share the bed.”

“Are you sure?” Jane asked.

“Of course, it’s not a problem at all. How do we go about booking the spa services and restaurant?” I asked.

“If you want to look through our services, I’d be happy to take care of it for you.”

“We already booked everything using your pre-arrival concierge.”

“Oh, okay, perfect. Let me just bring that up and confirm everything for you.”

We confirmed that everything was booked properly and were then directed to our suite. When we walked into it, we stopped dead, jaws dropped. The suite was fucking amazing. We looked at each other and grinned, both heading to the balcony. The view was fucking majestic. There was simply no other word for it. It spanned miles and miles, ending with the beautiful Poconos mountains. I think I could have spent the entire weekend sitting on the balcony, enjoying the view.

The suite had a king-size four-poster bed a couch that faced a fireplace and wall-mounted TV. There was a large whirlpool tub in the corner and a small kitchenette off to the side. I’d never stayed in a place so fancy. Hell, even the shower was fancy as fuck. The rainfall shower sported multiple showerheads and was large enough that you could easily fit five people in it.

“Leah, this place is so fancy, I’m afraid to touch anything,” Sasha laughed.

“It sure is. I’m just going to let Jason know we got here okay.”
