it’s a beast, my good man.” Mia handed over the keys to the man who was grinning from ear to ear as he stepped back to admire the car. She shoved some bills at him but he shook his head and put his hands in the air.
    “Lady, you don’t even need to tip me for this one. Just a few spins around the block is all I need to make my day.”
    Mia laughed and shoved the money in his shirt pocket.
    “Nah, just park him somewhere where he can be admired.”
    “It’s a him? I thought it would have a name like Candy or Monique.” He slid into the seat.
    “It’s only a car for Christ’s sake,” I said, shaking my head, although I should be used to the reaction of Mia and her car by now.
    “Ah…did she just go there?” He looked at Mia with raised brows.
    “Disrespectful wench,” Mia replied as she walked up to me and pulled my neck in a hug. We laughed and headed into the mall, took an elevator to the 30th floor and stepped into the ultra-modern salon.
    “Oh, wow! What a treat.” I did a happy dance as I looked around the room in amazement.
    “You like?”
    “Like? No, I love! This is awesome. So you must know someone that knows someone to get in here, and so early; it’s only 9 a.m.” Philippe Salon and Spa was the most exquisite, outrageously expensive and snazzy spa in Houston…in the country for that matter, with at least a three-month waiting list for the ultra-rich and famous. He also has one in New York, Chicago, LA, Tokyo, London, Paris and several other cities around the globe.
    He was well-known for his signature skin and hair care products. All of his spas employ an impressive list of world-renowned dermatologists for those wanting more bang for a whole lot of bucks. Collagen, Restylane, Botox, peels and infrarey therapy are but a few among many other professional services offered.
    “Um, I hate to break it to you, love, but I know Philippe personally.” Mia winked at me as a handsome young receptionist greeted us.
    “Good morning, Miss Lambert. So good to see you again.” He slipped mimosas into our hands as Veronica stepped in the door behind us.
    “Happy birthday!” she squealed, while pulling Mia and me in for a group hug.
    “Thanks. It is indeed happy. I mean, how could it not be when I’m in one of the most prestigious spas in like, the world.” I took a moment to gawk at the spectacular crystal chandelier hanging overhead, priceless art on the wall, floor to ceiling windows showing off the skyline of the city, and baroque paintings on the ceiling of angels and cherubs.
    “Good morning, ladies. My name is Gish. Please allow me to take you to your first station.” We followed Gish into the massive salon where we were met by an entourage of people ready to pamper us with wraps, facials, massages and everything that makes for a delightful morning of indulgence.
    After our rounds of luxurious pampering we were sated and full due to being served endless decadent chocolate covered strawberries, Champagne and Sterling Caviar. Grinning like idiots, we headed back to the lobby where we were greeted by none other than Philippe himself.
    “How is my Houston princess doing today?” He embraced Mia and gave her a kiss on the lips. “Lovely as ever I see.” He held on to her with an arm around her waist.
    “Flattery will get you everywhere with me, as you well know.” A smile played on her lips. A delicate blush crept up to Philippe’s cheeks.
    “These are my besties…like best friends ever, Zoe Caine, the birthday girl, and Veronica Saldana.”
    Philippe kissed our cheeks and settled back in a friendly embrace with Mia.
    “I’ve heard a lot about both of you from Mia and delighted to finally meet you. How was your time at the spa?” He was tall and handsome with dark brown hair and green eyes. An expensive grey lightweight summer suit showed off the dark striped pink button down shirt that he wore without a tie.
    “We had a fabulous time. Four hours simply flew by,” I said.
    “Well,
