Alexandra had been dreading this day for weeks.
Part of the palaver and preparations for her friend Jenny's wedding was for her to be luxuriously pampered at a spa for an entire day. Normally this would be something an attractive woman in her twenties would relish the prospect of; but for Alexandra, there was a mandatory part that she would never normally volunteer for:
A pedicure.
Alexandra was ridiculously ticklish. Especially on her feet. It was her ultimate weakness and worst fear to have people touch, tease or tickle her soft pale soles. The tall redhead was sort of looking forwards to being pampered in other ways; a nice massage, maybe a facial. Plus seeing the girls and chatting were part of the allure, alongside her loyalty to Jenny; a cheerful and kind woman who had always been considerate of Alexandra’s battle between shyness and loneliness. Jenny had tickled Alexandra once, very briefly when they were 18 and setting off to different universities. The cheerful brunette knew it was beyond torture for her friend and had promised never to tickle her again or let anyone know her secret weakness. Alexandra trusted her completely and had been surprised at Jenny’s insistence her own home pedicure wouldn’t be enough, she had considered reminding Jenny about ‘her condition’ but was a sure that Jenny wouldn’t have forgotten. In a brief moment of paranoia Alexandra considered if the entire thing was a trap, but she trusted Jenny completely and by the looks of it their mutual acquaintances that she didn’t trust were not coming. But still the prospect of the other girls finding out how ticklish she was, filled her with a special kind of dread. It wasn’t just the prospect of being tickled, it was people knowing her ultimate weakness.
Alexandra would sometimes notice people admiring her feet on the rare occasion she wore sandals and when this happened she would always curl her toes and try and move her feet out of view. To avoid the phantom tickles she felt at even a stranger's gaze, Alexandra almost always wore boots or shoes. That was not going to be possible today though, Jenny had insisted on high heeled, open toed sandals for all her beloved bridesmaids and each would receive a mandatory pedicure as part of their spa day. Normally the most gracious and amenable person in the room, even Jenny had succumbed to the stereotype of the over-controlling bride and it simple wasn’t worth arguing with her.
At the spa, Alexandra resisted the urge to shiver as she swapped her thick socks for the soft white fluffy slippers provided for her and descended the steps with her friends. They had to change their shoes close to the door near to some lockers, then sign some paperwork and accept nice white fluffy soft dressing gowns. At least they had the spa to themselves as Jenny had spent a lot to reserve the whole place for a private function. Once inside the luxurious basement she sipped champagne and chatted with her friends as they lounged around in their dressing gowns and bikinis, some barefoot some dangling the white slippers from their toes. Alexandra pushed her long pale feet as far into the size 9 backless slippers as they would go and kept them tucked under a small table. It had annoyed her that all the slippers were backless, she had hid her frustration and opted for a pair that at least covered her toes. She appeared calm on the outside but was thinking all the time of ways to get out of the dreaded pedicure.
Alexandra had only been tickled twice as an adult, once by Jenny and more terribly at a university party at the age of 19. It had started innocently enough with a shy Asian girl sneaking up on her and softly tickling her stockinged soles, with the sudden surprise Alexandra had shrieked so loudly that everyone had turned and looked. Before long others started joining in with a playful poke in the ribs or two. Then people grabbed her flailing wrists and kicking ankles. It was this that frightened Alexandra the most afterwards, the way one playful little tickle caused everyone in the room to suddenly descend upon her like a flock of vultures.
Within seconds Alexandra had been pinned down on her back with around six people tickling her and another four or five holding her in place. People tickled her outstretched underarms and helpless ribs and sides. Some of her captors would tickle her thighs and knees as they held her down. One girl tormented her neck with soft fluttering fingertips as she cackled sadistically like a hyena. Others tickled her taut tummy, at first this just blended in with the rest of the torture until a nerdy boy used two fingers to push down and wiggle just above her hips, slowly exploring her until he found the spot that sent her into an overdrive of frantic turmoil.
This new technique pushed Alexandra from silent laughter to a second wind of the screaming rage that had comprised the first few minutes of her torture. Almost all of her tormentors insisted on having a turn at this 'sweet spot'. The only exception where some of the celebrants at her feet who delivered the worst of the torture. Even one tormentor softly stroking her hypersensitive soles would have been unbearable for Alexandra, instead her soles were subjected to four pairs of tickling hands assisted by others that held her ankles tightly and cruelly held back her toes to stretch her arches into taut stocking-clad canvases for torture.
In truth Alexandra’s ordeal had only lasted between seven to ten minutes, but to her it had felt like an eternity. It would have been a lot worse if her captors hadn’t begun tickling one another as well. The gaggle of giggling teenage girls delighting in tickling their female-friends’ upturned or unguarded soles to find out who was ticklish. For a while Alexandra struggled in vain to escape as Makiko, the Asian girl who had initiated the torture straddled her just below the waist and tickled both the ‘sweet spot’ with her little fingers and her victim’s sides with fingers that were more practised than the dozens of others that tickled the hysterical redhead relentlessly.
“Nooo! Not my ribs!” Alexandra squealed through peals of ticklish laughter as Makiko changed to explore a new spot.
The crowd was elated at this new plea for mercy. Alexandra had squealed ‘No! Not my feet!!!” numerous times prior to this, when the Asian girl was tickling her feet more expertly than anyone else. Now that the Asian girl had left her post at the red haired teen’s feet, more and more new torturers tried to get at the sensitive nylon-clad soles, jostling with one another as too many ticklers swarmed in from the kitchen and other rooms. In the same rush to get at their victim’s ribs the ever growing crowd began to tickle the Asian girl all over. They had been tickling the Asian girl’s socked soles for a while but with the fresh onslaught of delicious sensations the Asian girl frantically thrashed the submissive portion of her dreams came true.
“Noooo! Don’t pin me down and tickle me like you tickled her!” Makiko squealed in false terror.
Knowing that her crush had suffered enough Makiko deliberately pushed and barged against Alexandra’s captors so that the redhead could escape. For a split second it looked like the two girls would be pinned down next to one another side by side for a double-session of torture, something Makiko would fantasise about for years to come. Instead the hysterical redhead was able to escape with tear-stained eyes. It had been far, far better than Makiko had imagined it could have ever been when she had earlier fought against the butterflies in her stomach to sneak up on her crush and tickle her foot. But the intense session of gang tickling had pushed the sexy redhead too far. Alexandra grabbed her shoes and left as Makiko was pinned down and tickled, she never found out how long the petite Asian had suffered in her place as she tried to put the traumatic event out of mind. The only thing Alexandra was thankful for was that she didn’t have many friends at that particular party. As a result of the way people had just seemed to just flood in like sharks to a kill she was scared that if her secret weakness got out people would always be trying to tickle her, she would occasionally recognise a few people here and there but could easily distance herself and make friends with other more-studious people.
The only exception was the petite Asian girl, who seemed to end up as her study buddy with astounding regularity. Alexandra was awkward at first around the shy, softly spoken girl. Over time though she almost forgot about her presence at the awful tickle party. Eventually Alexandra wondered if she had mixed up her study-buddy with another girl with a similar name. Alexandra became very comfortable around her study buddy, apart from when she slipped her petite soles out of her black flats to sit cross legged in socks, wiggling her small toes. This always made Alexandra uncomfortable but she somehow found it hard to look away, fascinated by how small her friend’s feet were. Despite becoming a regular part of Alexandra’s life the softly spoken girl never seemed to try and join in with aspects of the redhead’s social group or see her outside of uni’, instead they just casually studied and drank coffee together. That was until the petite girl invited Alexandra to a party one day in the third year of her degree. They were in the quietest part of the library, the two girls had brushed one another’s hair due to it being so windy. Then they headed for one of their favourite secluded spots.
“A party?” Alexandra asked, nervous but convinced her shy friend was a different girl to the one from ‘that’ party.
“Yes it is a fetish party!” Makiko whispered to stunned silence.
Alexandra’s heart skipped a beat as her face turned red. There was no-one around but even the word 'tickle' made Alexandra nervous.
“You can get me back for that other party two years ago if you like, or I can tie you down properly and have you all to myself!” Makiko continued with some excitement despite her floundering confidence, nervously she added;
“I have seen the way you look at my socked feet, don’t tell me you don’t like it!...”
“I have to go!” Alexandra nervously muttered, she grabbed her bag and left; never to study with her friend again, actively avoiding her if she saw her.
Alexandra ignored her friend’s texts, discretely changed study buddy’s and even more discretely looked up the phrase ‘tickle fetish’ on the internet. What she saw shocked her so much she decided to cut all contact with the sweet shiny-haired student who she didn’t realise she had become the only friend of. Alexandra had other friends, but for the poor shy Makiko this was essentially the end of her social life. Alexandra cut all contact with the poor girl in five seconds and forgot about her within the next year, aside from the odd thought or too that always made her shudder…
Half a decade later Alexandra was at her friend Jenny’s wedding. Jenny was shorter than her with long straight brown hair. Alexandra had wondered if she would be the maid of honour as she and Jenny went way back, but she hated being the centre of attention she had no hard feelings about it. Looking around her a few memories came back to the tall redhead as she nervously looked around the spa. Many of the masseuses and other staff were Asian women and Alexandra just couldn’t put… ‘M’…Ma’… that girl from uni’ out of her mind. There were other triggers as well, a couple of her friends had started talking about how the pedicure would tickle them.
"Yeah I hope they don't do the scrubbing thing 'cos I just can't stand that!" Emily, a tall well-endowed blonde with stunning blue eyes exclaimed.
It was getting harder and harder for Alexandra to hide her feet without it being obvious she was uncomfortable because she was hiding her feet. She sat slightly outside of the circle of women who lounged on sofas. Coming and going to get massages or enjoy the steam room or other treatments to pamper their already soft supple bodies.
Feeling nervous Alexandra stood up quietly and slipped away from the group. Hoping to slip away until someone changed the conversation. So far she had just sipped champagne and chatted so it wasn't unusual for her to explore. She scanned the room for somewhere safe, briefly considered asking for a massage for the first time ever but hated the idea of being touched. She didn't want to get too drunk so as she nervously meandered Alexandra ate some fruit and drank some cucumber water. She reflected that the source of her nervousness was the way Emily and the other girls had spoken about what they had done at home; to avoid having to suffer too long at the pedicure table. Alexandra had thought she had been clever by using some pumice stones on her heels and painting her toes. She had half listened in horror as a few of the girl's described the devices they had bought to ensure their soles were freshly pink and baby soft. She had considered buying such a device for herself but thought it might constitute nothing more than an automated tickling device. She now regretted that decision; knowing her feet, whilst soft and smooth were not as soft and pink and round as her friends’. Despite her fears Alexandra took care of her feet. She didn't like any part of her appearance to be unsightly or untidy even though she kept her soles hidden. She had hated painting her toenails but had hoped the black varnish left at her flat by her niece who was going through a 'Goth-phase' would prevent the need for anyone to touch her ticklish toes.
As she ambled, Alexandra came upon a small pool full of fish in a secluded corner of the spa. The words 'pedicure pool' were on a fancy label by a stack of towels on a small table. 'Is this it?' Alexandra thought, both terrified and delighted. She had heard about these fish pedicures and would never normally consider letting little tiny fish nibble her ticklish toes, but the desire to avoid being publicly tickled and a small measure of jealousy stopped her instantly dismissing the idea. And she thought;
'But if I put my feet in now when no-one is looking I can say later that I have already had a pedicure!" Alexandra thought; glad that this way if it did tickle, this way no-one would know about her weakness.
Nervously and quietly Alexandra slipped off her slippers and sat down by the pool, towel in hand. There was room for maybe three or four women to put their feet in the small pool, but she was glad she was the only one here. With a surreptitious look around to see if anyone was watching she quietly slipped her feet in the pool being careful not to make a splash or a sound.
Alexandra winced as the fish instantly headed for her pale feet. Even the movements in the water from their approach filled her with dread. Within seconds Alexandra had to use one hand to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. The fish had collected around her wiggling toes finding the delicious spot right underneath, which to them was the rarest of salty treats. Alexandra’s routine of socks and boots had kept her feet soft but also full of the salt and toxins the fish just loved. Alexandra had no idea how ticklish her toes could be, during her tickle party ordeal the fiends had focused on her arches occasionally exploring her toes but not like this. The tiny teeth and unpredictability of the sensations was unbearable for Alexandra and she rocked back and forth in an attempt to stop herself from kicking. She couldn’t help but wiggle her toes as the fish continued to explore between them. She wished the pool was deep enough for her to place her soles on the bottom of it whilst seated but she couldn’t reach from a seated position. She tried to fight the urge to put her feet together to prevent the fish exploring her arches and toes from underneath but after only thirty seconds this was her only option other than yank her feet straight out of the water. She tried this for a while but the fish responded by nibbling her toes from the top and trying desperately to get between her soles thanks to her high arches. Frustrated Alexandra began swirling each leg in a regular spiral so that the fish had to chase her feet but his was as pointless as blocking them. Still she swirled her feet in the pool giggling for a few minutes occasionally finding the will power to keep her feet still for a few seconds. She had become so lost in trying to hold her will she hadn’t noticed she was being watched.
It was Donna, a tall dark-haired woman with light brown skin from her Mediterranean ancestry. Donna had always made Alexandra uncomfortable due to both her height and presence, she was lithe but strong and not afraid not make eye contact in silence in a way that wasn’t overbearing and yet made Alexandra squirm. A year or so before Jenny had taken Alexandra shoe-shopping with Donna and the result had crystallised her discomfort, the tall woman with curly hair had ceased her eye contact and softly gazed at her soles in every pair of high heeled sandals she was encouraged to wear. Donna usually favoured black clothing and often wore tall sandals with crossing leather along with other items of clothing that although not risqué in this century per se, made her look not unlike a toned-down dominatrix or something from the Rocky Horror picture show.
Alexandra hadn’t actually seen Donna with the group when they entered the spa and assumed she must have turned up late. Her heart sank as the tall confident woman just winked and sauntered away like a cat. ‘How long had she been watching?’ Alexandra thought to herself. And what had she meant by that sly wink. Afraid that she had been found out but not wanting anyone else to come over to her little secluded corner Alexandra pulled her feet away from the tickly little fish and carefully towelled them off. They were now pinker but she worried they weren’t up to the standard of ‘the mandatory pedicure’ and she would be forced to expose her weakness. Alexandra slipped back into slippers, selected another piece of fruit and a glass of coconut water and made her way back to the circle of women she had slipped away from earlier.
Making her way to her seat Alexandra was surprised to see Donna stand up from having dropped something and take the seat she had formerly occupied. The tall women stretched out and placed her feet on the table that Alexandra had used to hide her feet. The tall woman placed one foot over the other and dangled the white slippers from her long wriggling toes. Unlike Alexandra she had opted to wear sandal-like fluffy slippers that fully exposed her long toes with nails that were painted an exquisite deep red, almost black. Jenny tapped an empty seat next to her, signalling for Alexandra to sit.
“No I couldn’t do that! I am okay with pedicures but I would hate for them to be between my toes!” added a brunette; Ashleigh, known to Alexandra because she was usually the second quietest of the group, after herself.
“I just think it’s weird” Emily the tall blonde added, her tone judgemental and aloof.
Alexandra’s heart sank, Donna had told them about the fish pool. She nervously tried to appear casual and relaxed but knew that Donna would probably see through the façade. She had noticed the way Ashleigh curled her petite toes tight as she spoke, subconsciously wanting them to be protected. Ashleigh was the baby of the group and would often be teased due to her youthfulness and tendency to drink too much when going out with the ‘other’ group of girls who hadn’t been invited.
“So how was it Alexandra?” Jenny asked with genuine interest.
“It was okay…” Alexandra replied, hating how the girls were all expectantly looking at now.
“Did it tickle?” Kate, a mixed race chick Alexandra barely new asked.
Shocked Alexandra tried to keep her composure; “A little” she managed with a weak smile. The effect brought Donna’s gaze directly into her eyes in the way she hated, it was like the tall woman was looking directly into her soul and seeing her fears.
“Did you like it?” Donna asked casually, at least she seemed casual to everyone else but Alexandra hatred the twinkle in the tall woman’s eyes.
Alexandra tried to hide her panic without hesitating when inspiration struck, she smiled and said;
“Well at least I won’t have to get another pedicure today!” She even raised one leg and turned the slipper on her toes to feign nonchalance.
“Oh no! That isn’t the pedicure room, they just have that!” Jenny added happily, loving her time with her friends and not aware of the effect her words had on Alexandra.
“I think I could do it, as long as I could move my feet! Same with pedicures, I am fine with them as long as they don’t hold onto my feet to stop me moving. That thing where they bend back your toes sometimes!...” Kate added cheerfully, ending with a shudder.
"Sucks for you! My feet aren't ticklish!" Mary the maid of honour declared. Mary had shoulder length strawberry blonde hair, was average height and carried just a little extra weight but in a way that kind of worked for her.
"…Really! Kate interrupted Mary as she pounced to tickle her.
“No I said my feet aren’t ticklish!” Mary protested as she wrestled with Kate.
“Girl’s don’t break the wine glasses!” Jenny interrupted in a far snippier tone than was normal for her, it had taken a lot to let the spa have actual champagne flutes down here and not plastic glasses.
The impromptu tickle fight came to an end with the two women merrily giving one another a slap on the thigh as they snuggled on the sofa. Alexandra meanwhile was terrified and dug her toes into her slippers once more, glad that they were half a size to small and therefore hugged her feet tight.
“So would you recommend the pool then Alex’…?” Donna asked, not wanting to let the conversation change and delighting in using the shortened version of Alexandra that she knew the redhead hated.
Alexandra shrugged and selected some more fruit from a bowl on the table so she wouldn’t have to talk.
“I’m game if you are!” Kate interjected gesturing to Mary specifically.
“Nah I’m fine here luv!” Mary replied, adding; “Plus I’m fairly certain if my feet go in that water all the fish will die!” As she spoke Mary raised a bare foot to reveal slightly darkened callouses, unlike the other women she had not pre-preened.
“So.... No takers for the pool then?” Donna asked.
“I could go for a swim!” Exclaimed Carly who had just joined the group. Carly was an exuberant athletic woman who always seemed to be full of energy.
The group explained the confusion and continued to laugh and joke about the fish until eventually only Jenny, Mary and Alexandra remained. Some of them had gone to try the fish pool and consider some sort of seaweed wrap that Mary initially thought was the edible king and then promptly lost all interest in once it was explained it was a spa treatment. Alexandra actually felt snug once the conversation moved away from feet and fish, being close to the bride and maid of hour seemed to afford her some protection so that she didn’t have to be the centre of attention. After twenty minutes or so a Swedish woman came to let them know that the pedicures were starting. Alexandra was trapped as she couldn’t disappoint the bride. Also she had found out she was supposed to have pale blue nail polish on and promised she would change it.
“Oh no they will do it for you today I have some spare with me” Jenny had smiled.
The dreaded time had come and Alexandra submissively followed her friends, tempted to break down and remind Jenny about ‘her condition’ but between Mary’s boisterousness and the splashing and giggling coming from the fish pool she decided to grit her teeth and bear what she must ‘Maybe it won’t be so bad..’ She thought hopefully.

She didn't like any part of her appearance to be unsightly or untidy even though she kept her soles hidden. She had hated painting her toenails but had hoped the black varnish left at her flat by her niece who was going through a 'Goth-phase' would prevent the need for anyone to touch her ticklish toes.
As she ambled, Alexandra came upon a small pool full of fish in a secluded corner of the spa. The words 'pedicure pool' were on a fancy label by a stack of towels on a small table. 'Is this it?' Alexandra thought, both terrified and delighted. She had heard about these fish pedicures and would never normally consider letting little tiny fish nibble her ticklish toes, but the desire to avoid being publicly tickled and a small measure of jealousy stopped her instantly dismissing the idea. And she thought;
'But if I put my feet in now when no-one is looking I can say later that I have already had a pedicure!" Alexandra thought; glad that this way if it did tickle, this way no-one would know about her weakness.
Nervously and quietly Alexandra slipped off her slippers and sat down by the pool, towel in hand. There was room for maybe three or four women to put their feet in the small pool, but she was glad she was the only one here. With a surreptitious look around to see if anyone was watching she quietly slipped her feet in the pool being careful not to make a splash or a sound.
Alexandra winced as the fish instantly headed for her pale feet. Even the movements in the water from their approach filled her with dread. Within seconds Alexandra had to use one hand to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. The fish had collected around her wiggling toes finding the delicious spot right underneath, which to them was the rarest of salty treats. Alexandra’s routine of socks and boots had kept her feet soft but also full of the salt and toxins the fish just loved. Alexandra had no idea how ticklish her toes could be, during her tickle party ordeal the fiends had focused on her arches occasionally exploring her toes but not like this. The tiny teeth and unpredictability of the sensations was unbearable for Alexandra and she rocked back and forth in an attempt to stop herself from kicking. She couldn’t help but wiggle her toes as the fish continued to explore between them. She wished the pool was deep enough for her to place her soles on the bottom of it whilst seated but she couldn’t reach from a seated position. She tried to fight the urge to put her feet together to prevent the fish exploring her arches and toes from underneath but after only thirty seconds this was her only option other than yank her feet straight out of the water. She tried this for a while but the fish responded by nibbling her toes from the top and trying desperately to get between her soles thanks to her high arches. Frustrated Alexandra began swirling each leg in a regular spiral so that the fish had to chase her feet but his was as pointless as blocking them. Still she swirled her feet in the pool giggling for a few minutes occasionally finding the will power to keep her feet still for a few seconds. She had become so lost in trying to hold her will she hadn’t noticed she was being watched.
It was Donna, a tall dark-haired woman with light brown skin from her Mediterranean ancestry. Donna had always made Alexandra uncomfortable due to both her height and presence, she was lithe but strong and not afraid not make eye contact in silence in a way that wasn’t overbearing and yet made Alexandra squirm. A year or so before Jenny had taken Alexandra shoe-shopping with Donna and the result had crystallised her discomfort, the tall woman with curly hair had ceased her eye contact and softly gazed at her soles in every pair of high heeled sandals she was encouraged to wear. Donna usually favoured black clothing and often wore tall sandals with crossing leather along with other items of clothing that although not risqué in this century per se, made her look not unlike a toned-down dominatrix or something from the Rocky Horror picture show.
Alexandra hadn’t actually seen Donna with the group when they entered the spa and assumed she must have turned up late. Her heart sank as the tall confident woman just winked and sauntered away like a cat. ‘How long had she been watching?’ Alexandra thought to herself. And what had she meant by that sly wink. Afraid that she had been found out but not wanting anyone else to come over to her little secluded corner Alexandra pulled her feet away from the tickly little fish and carefully towelled them off. They were now pinker but she worried they weren’t up to the standard of ‘the mandatory pedicure’ and she would be forced to expose her weakness. Alexandra slipped back into slippers, selected another piece of fruit and a glass of coconut water and made her way back to the circle of women she had slipped away from earlier.
Making her way to her seat Alexandra was surprised to see Donna stand up from having dropped something and take the seat she had formerly occupied. The tall women stretched out and placed her feet on the table that Alexandra had used to hide her feet. The tall woman placed one foot over the other and dangled the white slippers from her long wriggling toes. Unlike Alexandra she had opted to wear sandal-like fluffy slippers that fully exposed her long toes with nails that were painted an exquisite deep red, almost black. Jenny tapped an empty seat next to her, signalling for Alexandra to sit.
“No I couldn’t do that! I am okay with pedicures but I would hate for them to be between my toes!” added a brunette; Ashleigh, known to Alexandra because she was usually the second quietest of the group, after herself.
“I just think it’s weird” Emily the tall blonde added, her tone judgemental and aloof.
Alexandra’s heart sank, Donna had told them about the fish pool. She nervously tried to appear casual and relaxed but knew that Donna would probably see through the façade. She had noticed the way Ashleigh curled her petite toes tight as she spoke, subconsciously wanting them to be protected. Ashleigh was the baby of the group and would often be teased due to her youthfulness and tendency to drink too much when going out with the ‘other’ group of girls who hadn’t been invited.
“So how was it Alexandra?” Jenny asked with genuine interest.
“It was okay…” Alexandra replied, hating how the girls were all expectantly looking at now.
“Did it tickle?” Kate, a mixed race chick Alexandra barely new asked.
Shocked Alexandra tried to keep her composure; “A little” she managed with a weak smile. The effect brought Donna’s gaze directly into her eyes in the way she hated, it was like the tall woman was looking directly into her soul and seeing her fears.
“Did you like it?” Donna asked casually, at least she seemed casual to everyone else but Alexandra hatred the twinkle in the tall woman’s eyes.
Alexandra tried to hide her panic without hesitating when inspiration struck, she smiled and said;
“Well at least I won’t have to get another pedicure today!” She even raised one leg and turned the slipper on her toes to feign nonchalance.
“Oh no! That isn’t the pedicure room, they just have that!” Jenny added happily, loving her time with her friends and not aware of the effect her words had on Alexandra.
“I think I could do it, as long as I could move my feet! Same with pedicures, I am fine with them as long as they don’t hold onto my feet to stop me moving. That thing where they bend back your toes sometimes!...” Kate added cheerfully, ending with a shudder.
"Sucks for you! My feet aren't ticklish!" Mary the maid of honour declared. Mary had shoulder length strawberry blonde hair, was average height and carried just a little extra weight but in a way that kind of worked for her.
"…Really! Kate interrupted Mary as she pounced to tickle her.
“No I said my feet aren’t ticklish!” Mary protested as she wrestled with Kate.
“Girl’s don’t break the wine glasses!” Jenny interrupted in a far snippier tone than was normal for her, it had taken a lot to let the spa have actual champagne flutes down here and not plastic glasses.
The impromptu tickle fight came to an end with the two women merrily giving one another a slap on the thigh as they snuggled on the sofa. Alexandra meanwhile was terrified and dug her toes into her slippers once more, glad that they were half a size to small and therefore hugged her feet tight.
“So would you recommend the pool then Alex’…?” Donna asked, not wanting to let the conversation change and delighting in using the shortened version of Alexandra that she knew the redhead hated.
Alexandra shrugged and selected some more fruit from a bowl on the table so she wouldn’t have to talk.
“I’m game if you are!” Kate interjected gesturing to Mary specifically.
“Nah I’m fine here luv!” Mary replied, adding; “Plus I’m fairly certain if my feet go in that water all the fish will die!” As she spoke Mary raised a bare foot to reveal slightly darkened callouses, unlike the other women she had not pre-preened.
“So.... No takers for the pool then?” Donna asked.
“I could go for a swim!” Exclaimed Carly who had just joined the group. Carly was an exuberant athletic woman who always seemed to be full of energy.
The group explained the confusion and continued to laugh and joke about the fish until eventually only Jenny, Mary and Alexandra remained. Some of them had gone to try the fish pool and consider some sort of seaweed wrap that Mary initially thought was the edible king and then promptly lost all interest in once it was explained it was a spa treatment. Alexandra actually felt snug once the conversation moved away from feet and fish, being close to the bride and maid of hour seemed to afford her some protection so that she didn’t have to be the centre of attention. After twenty minutes or so a Swedish woman came to let them know that the pedicures were starting. Alexandra was trapped as she couldn’t disappoint the bride. Also she had found out she was supposed to have pale blue nail polish on and promised she would change it.
“Oh no they will do it for you today I have some spare with me” Jenny had smiled.
The dreaded time had come and Alexandra submissively followed her friends, tempted to break down and remind Jenny about ‘her condition’ but between Mary’s boisterousness and the splashing and giggling coming from the fish pool she decided to grit her teeth and bear what she must ‘Maybe it won’t be so bad..’ She thought hopefully.
