Chapter twenty-six - Calm before the storm

The weekend continued as scheduled, Locke ignored the girls' smirks and drove them all in his rental car to a beautiful seafood restaurant near the beach. When they entered the restaurant they found the other three boys.

"Hey everybody! Finally arrived! Why did you take so long?" Douglas joked "We were almost dying of starvation!"

Aliyah looked sideways at Hanna and gave a little smile that David understood at the time.

The other girls sat down, Locke sat next to Hanna, the plates started arriving a few minutes later, a mix of seafood, fish and summer food.

"Wow, everything looks so delicious!" Tia spoked, Hanna saw her start to eat the praws on the table in terror, she is about to question if the fairy was trying to be discovered by everyone when Locke held her hand.

"Just observe."

Hanna watched, she noticed that no one at the table seemed to notice the fairy voraciously devouring all the prawns. The girls even complained about the speed at which the shrimps was disappeared, pointing the blame between each other, without realizing that they are 'disappearing' into the air.

"How?" Hanna questioned.

"It is what it is" Locke replied with a smile, his way of saying that he had no idea how this fairy power worked.

Lunch proceeded without any problems, everyone seemed to be having a good time, and smiles and lively conversations filled the table, Locke could see that the girls were dying to talk to Hanna in private, but he was ignorant as to why and continued to talk to everyone about the all trivial matters that came up on the table.

When lunch was over everyone chose a dessert, Locke went by Tia's will and chose a Petit Gateau, which caused him some jokes from the table mates, but he didn't care, the fairy devoured the dessert with such happiness that it gave Locke a fatherly smile.

After lunch everyone went to the beach together.

The girls sat on the beach chairs, in the afternoon sunlight, Hanna hid under a huge parasol, her white skin was not very friendly with the sun light, but she enjoyed the sea breeze, Tia was lying on a table next to Hanna, dressed in her bikini and dozing.

"Hey Locke, do you want to play volleyball with us?" David asked Locke.

"Of course!" Locke smiled and went with the boys, at a certain distance from the girls.

As soon as the boys left, the girls went into a frenzy.

"Hey Hanna! How was it?" Brianna asked with a mischievous smile, Whitney was beside her with a similar smile, eager to hear more about her friend's night.

Aliyah did not join, she remained lying in the sun with her sunglasses, but her attention was totally focused on the conversation.

Hanna left the book and put it on the table, next to the sleeping fairy.

"...how was what?" Hanna tried to defuse the talk faking ignorance, her face flushed.

"You don't fool us, girl!" Whitney commented. "We want to know all the details!"

"I have nothing to say!" Hanna screamed with a face as red as a tomato. "Aly, help me!"

"You better give up little sis..." Aliyah turned to the girls "These two won't give up until you tell them everything!"

Hanna sighed.

"Okay ... what do you want to know?" She spoke unwillingly.

A flood of intimate questions followed.

***

Locke was having a great time, his mood was cheerful and he was smiling from ear to ear.

"You are in a very good mood, it looks like someone got it good last night!" David commented with a smile. "Take good care of Hanna, that girl is like a little sister to me!"

Locke smiled and did not comment.

They were playing beach volleyball, although Locke needed spend some concentration to control himself, so that he wouldn't hurt anyone unintentionally, was fun game, and soon they beat the opposing team.

"Dude, you do very well!" The third boy who accompanied them on the trip greeted him, his name was Lucio, he was Brianna's boyfriend. "What other sports are you good at?"

"I don't usually do a lot of sports, I'm more into physical exercises ..."

"What a pity, man! I know that everyone only talks about our college basketball team, but if you're interested, come see me on the football team!"

Locke thanked him for the invitation, he and the boys started to return to where the girls were, they were talking quietly while giggling.

When the boys approached the subject of the girls changed, everyone prepared to go back to the beach house when Locke realized that the girls were looking at him in a strange way, he didn't care, he continued walking holding hands with Hanna.

'Why are they like this?' Locke questioned Tia mentally.

'Dude you have no idea! They talked about everything! Your Size, color, shape and thickness! About how many times have you done and everything! They are like that because they can't believe what Hanna said! 'Tia replied to Locke's message with another mental message, so that Hanna wouldn't hear.

'Do the girls talk about it?' Locke was horrified.

'Don't worry, my boy, Hanna described you as a stallion!'

They were soon back at the beach house.

The sky started to darken when David asked what he should order for food, people started to debate when Locke asked:

"Why are we going to order food? The refrigerator is full of food! "

People looked at each other.

"I don't know how to cook..." David replied. "It was my parents who filled the fridge, for me it is useless!"

"Don't even look at me!" Aliyah shouted. "I even burn boiled water!"

"I can cook... but just simple things" Brianna replied.

"The same with me!" replied Whitney.

"I know how to fry an egg!" Douglas replied.

"I don't even know how to turn on the stove..." said Lucio.

"I can cook" replied Hanna. "I don't care about preparing dinner for everybody!"

"Hanna cooks very well!" Aliyah commented "I just didn't suggest that, because I thought it was unfair to leave everything to her..."

"Well, I can cook too!" Locke replied, he remembered the little time he spent with his grandparents, his grandmother took a long time to put cooking skills in the boy's mind. "What do you think, Hanna? How about we make dinner together? "

"Of course!" Hanna replied.

They both left the room for the kitchen.

"My God! It's so much sugar that I'm going to have Diabetes! " Aliyah scoffed.

"They look like a newlywed couple..." said Douglas.

In the kitchen Locke was cutting vegetables with the skill of a professional cook, 'The effects of a hundred points of agility! I can balance this knife at my fingertip!', he thought with a smile. Hanna was not behind, the girl had a lot of knowledge in the kitchen, she prepared wonderful dishes, taking advantage of Locke's inhuman's skills to speed up the processes.

When the two of them finished, the table was full of beautiful dishes, their friends watched the food with mouth-water, it didn't even look like something made at home, it looked like food straight out of a fancy restaurant.

Grilled Chicken Skewers, Kale Caesar salad, Pork Chops, Mushroom Risotto and Herbed Ricotta.

The group ate with joy, in pure delight with the taste of the food, David opened a few bottles of wine and Locke had to maintain constant control to prevent Tia from drinking.

When everyone was finished, they spent time playing cards in the living room, until each one went back to their respective room.

Locke was a little worried, he didn't want Hanna to think he was just after sex and so he was planning to spend that night just cuddling the girl, but to his surprise, Hanna started the intimacy.

As a consequence, Locke lost himself in love, plunging into the girl repeatedly, making her moan for hours, until the girl fell asleep with an exhausted and satisfied smile on her face, Locke lay beside her, happy, he hugged the girl's naked body and dove in dreams.

***

The last day on the beach was just as much fun as the previous days, although Locke had to deal with a slightly awkward moment the next morning.

He had woken up before everyone else, since his body didn't need so much sleep, he decided to make breakfast for everyone, he started preparing french toast when Brianna and Whitney entered the room, as soon as the two girls saw him they looked away with a red face, Locke didn't quite understand why, until the boys got together, Lucio walked over to Locke and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Dude, you need to learn to make less noise! Everyone got to hear it!"

The girls started fighting with Lucio, saying that he had no tact whatsoever, and that it was better to have pretended that they hadn't heard anything, Locke was embarrassed, he apologized and begged them to say anything to Hanna, he I didn't want her to be ashamed.

Hanna entered the room shortly afterwards, Tia was lying in her hair in the same way that she used to be with Locke, it seems that the girl and the fairy were really becoming the best friends.

"Good Morning!" Hanna greeted everyone. The girls looked at her with red faces. "Hmm? What's up with you? "

The breakfast continues without further interruptions.

The day went on full of excitment, with everyone going to the beach again, diving into the sea and playing sports in the sand, when it started to get dark everyone went back to the beach house, packed up and got ready for the trip back.

Aliyah stayed with David at the beach house, she left her car key with Brianna, who drove back in it with Lucio, Locke returned in his rental car, with Hanna by his side and Douglas and Whitney in the back seat, Locke noticed that the boy was looking at Whitney out of the corner of his eye, apparently the boy had a crush on the girl.

It was dark they were back in town, Locke drove to each one houses, taking Hanna last, when he got to her house he came across the girl's parents.

"Good night children! Do you guys have fun?" Azalea greeted they with a smile, Joseph just gave a slight nod.

"A lot!" Locke answered the greeting, he helped Hanna take her suitcase around the room and then kissed her goodbye, just after Locke left, Hanna hopped up to her room while she hummed.

"Haha!" Azalea laughed "Our little girl has become an adult woman!"

Joseph did not look very happy.

"Stop it Jojo!" Azalea embraced her husband. "We raised our daughters for the world! It was just a matter of time."

Joseph sighed. "At least he's a good guy..."

Meanwhile, Locke drove the car with the radio on, humming the music on the radio.

Tia sighed. "It's good to have a little calm before the storm..."
