Happiness POV
After breakfast, Claudia decided that the girls deserved a spa day and the rest of us could not agree more. It was going to be my first spa day, so I was excited to experience it. The males protested at the fact that they were going to be far from their mates for some time but they finished by accepting after their respective mates all promised them a fun night tonight.
We all gathered in my room and took out everything we needed for the perfect spa day. The first thing we did was painted each others' nails. I picked a white polish, Juliet picked baby pink, Taylor picked sky blue and Claudia picked sunshine yellow polish. After our nails were dried, we exfoliated our faces and then put on a mud face mask. We enjoyed homemade BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes) sandwiches and strawberry smoothies for lunch and watched a chick flick together as we ate. All throughout the spa day, we gossiped and talked about a lot of different topics. By the end of it, I felt much closer to all of the girls.
The guys found us all cozied and cuddled up together on my bed, we were playing a game of Dream Phone.
"Girls, it is dinner time, we ordered pizza so come down and eat before us guys devour it all! said Tedon in a loud voice. Louis smirked,
"We are for sure going to leave no pieces left for you guys. What a shame you will miss out on some bomb pizza." The girls all looked at each other and we gathered up in a circle to discuss this very important matter.
"Come on girls, as comfortable as we are right now, it is pizza!" said Taylor. Claudia groaned,
"We just started this game and I am practically sinking into this comfy bed. I really do not want to get up." Juliet sighed,
"I agree…but, it is pizza though." I nodded, "I am hungry again, no way we are missing pizza." We mutually agreed to leave the nest of blankets, all looking like a bunch of zombies rising from the grave.
We, the girls all huddled up in a circle and agreed that we should punish the guys by doing something that every guy hates: giving them the silent treatment. "Come on girls, let's go finish our movie," Juliet said once wee broke up the circle. We all marched out of the kitchen without a glance or saying anything to any of the guys.
"What are you girls doing?" wondered Blake as he stared at our departing figures. No one answered him, we just kept on walking. We all knew that it will not be long before the guys with mates start to crack. The guys followed close behind, all looking as lost as ever.
"Hello? Taylor, babe? Talk to me please, I can't handle the silence." begged Williams
"Come on Claudia! Don't give me the silent treatment! It is the worst! Don't do this to us, to me." whimpered Tedon. "Juliet, my sweet sugar darling baby girl, please talk to me. Please? You know that I can't stand the silent treatment, do anything to me but that." Marcus cried out. Louis whined out,
"Happiness, little one, you are not my mate but please talk to me, do not ignore me!" None of us cracked, we just kept on making our way to my room. Once we entered, we locked the door behind us before the guys could slip in.
Claudia let out a huge breath,
"Ignoring mate was by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life." Juliet and Taylor agreed, letting out huge breaths of their own.
"Well, now that we are here without our mate for the night, let's have a sleepover!" suggested Juliet to which all the girls agreed to immediately.
"Since we found our mates, we have not done a sleepover since! We used to do them at least once a week." Claudia told me with a grin.
We all did our night-time routine, the girls all borrowing extra toothbrushes, my skincare products, and my pajamas and then all squished ourselves on my decent size bed and turned on the TV. We agreed to watch a classic Disney movie: The Lion King. Towards the middle of the movie, I started to feel drowsy, my eyelids slowly shutting and then reopening again as I struggled to stay awake. I looked over to my left to see that Taylor and Juliet were already in dreamland.
"Goodnight chica," mumbled Claudia, before drifting off the sleep herself. "Goodnight," I mumbled before following soon after, unable to stay awake for any longer.
I opened my eyes slightly after hearing the lock on the door jiggle before there was a loud click. The door slowly creaked opened and the faint source light from the moon illuminated the familiar faces of Louis, Tedon, Jude, and Williams.
"What are you guys doing," I whispered, making all of them all jump in fright. "Jeez Happiness, don't scare us like that." Louis whispered-shouted, holding a hand over his heart.
"We are here to take our mates back to our rooms," Jude informed me.
"Yeah, we could not sleep without them snug and safe in our arms," said Tedon and Marcus in sync.
Jude carefully picked up Juliet and cradled her in his arms,
"I missed you, Juliet, I'm so sorry for causing you pain. I won't ever do that again baby girl." Juliet smiled in her sleep and cuddled closer to him. Williams then bent down and picked up Claudia, bridal style,
"Hey Claudia, I'm sorry babe, I love you. Sleeping without you is not the same." he whispered sweetly in her ear. Finally, Jude picked Matthew up and snuggled her tightly to his chest,
"Taylor, I love you so much baby hotcakes and there's no way I'm going to sleep without you being my little spoon." he said as he looked lovingly down at his mate. All three of them smiled at me and whispered goodnight before heading out of my room, bringing their mates back to their respective shared rooms.
Louis smiled at me, leaning down to affectionately caress my hair and to place a kiss on my forehead,
"I'm really sorry for pranking you and for waking you up Happiness. You should get some sleep now. Goodnight little one, sweet dreams." He walked out, shutting the door softly behind him, leaving me with a tingling feeling on my forehead and in my heart. I let out a happy and content sigh before falling into a blissful, dreamless sleep.
