49. Day at the Spa

Lincoln was still thinking about how a Spa would work, and he was still thinking of how it looked like it was only for girls and not really boys. Still, it would be fun to spend some more time with Luna like this since he and his sister look out for one another. As of now, he was waiting for Luna to come out of her room so he can go to that spa with her. He thought that perhaps he was being a little too silly about this, and what he heard about spas only for girls was only a stereotype.

Still, he honestly didn't know what to think of going to an actual spa, since he had over ten sisters in this family

"Ah. Maybe I am being ridiculous about this." Lincoln thought to himself. "Maybe it would be nice to enjoy a steam room. I mean. Guys go in there, right?" Abd he took a few chips from the bag. "Maybe a spa would be fun for me, even though I don't want any cucumbers in my eyes."

And it was just then Luna was coming out of the bedroom and walked downstairs. "You ready, Baby bro?" She asked him

"Yeah, let me just wash my hands from those chips."

"Got it, I'll wait in Vanzilla for ya."

Then Lincoln put the wrapper away and went to wash his hands with soap. After that, he hopped in the Vanzilla it was Lynn Sr who would be driving them to the spa for a day of relaxation. As they drove off, Lincoln said "Luna, are you sure it's not so girly for me to go to a spa and all that?"

"Nah, no way." ssid Luna. "Bro, the spa can be for anyone, you remember me telling ya that don't ya?"

"I remember. I just remember those group of boys telling me never to go to a spa. The ones that teased me about Ronnie Anne being my girlfriend."

"Those guys are just a bunch of dunderheads." Luna remarked with doubt. "They'd probably end up in Juvie someday if they keep acting like everyone else, like that Chandler kid from the Ace Savvy contest."

Lincoln couldn't help but chuckle. "Or Hank and Hawk when they were trying to ruin Sam's Halloween party."

"Totally! I still remember the looks on their faces when we forced them to watch those Agony videos. You remember how much they barfed in the doggy bags? It was absolutely priceless!"

"For two big kids who looked tough, they were total wusses watching those videos. They ain't so tough."

"No sir." Luna replied in a British accent. "And hopefully, those blokes will never bother us on Halloween ever again."

"Speaking of doggy bags, did you pick up Charles' poop, Lincoln?" The father asked the son curiously.

"Yeah dad, I did." Lincoln replied. "But I think you should talk to Lana about her doing that kind of chore more often. She told me she loves that chore."

"I'll see what I can do about that, sport.

"So buddy, there's nothing girly about going to a spa, you will love it like you mean it." Luna stated. "Just wait till you step inside. The steam room, the massages, all those fun stuff."

"I know, but I don't want to wear a towel over my head or have cucumbers over my eyes."

"That's cool. You don't have to have mud on your face or have those cucumbers over your eye-holes. But the hot tub and steam room will soothe your soul. Not to mention the massages to ease all the tension in your muscles."

"She's right, Lincoln." said Lynn Sr. "There's nothing wrong about going to a spa even if you're a boy. As a matter of fact, I used to go to a spa with your mother all the time."

"What for?" Luna asked.

"So I can have a nail pedicure." Both siblings looked at each other hearing that answer, and suddenly began snickering, and turned into a loud, contagious laughter. Both of them were completely guffawing on the car seats together. "What?" said Lynn Sr.

"You having a pedicure?" said Luna. "Wow Pops, that sounds completely silly!" And they continued laughing on the car seats.

"Yeah dad, Did you paint your toenails pink or something?" Lincoln asked.

"no!" Lynn Sr said defensively. "... They would color them red." and even louder laughter emitted in the van. "Oh come on!" he shouted. "There's nothing wrong with a man having his nails painted once in a while!"

Nonetheless, the laughing continued, leaving the father quite irritated. They were in the uptown part of Royal Woods, and they made it to the city spa. "See ya later, pops, and sorry for laughing, it was just too funny." said Luna

"I'll be back here in a few hours to pick you up." said Lynn Sr, still looking annoyed at being ridiculed like this. Then he drove off with the van.

"Well, we're here. Dude. And like I said many times before, this won't be a highway to Hell for you."

"I don't know if you said that many times, but I get your point, Luna," Then Lincoln looked at the building and could already smell the nice-scented candles. The smells were so mixed up together, for instance, one smell would be an orange type of scent, another would be mint, the third lemon, the fourth strawberry, and so many other intriguing scenes like it was perfume or manspray.

Luna was so in love with the smell while Lincoln was still a little uncertain about this. "Well, come on. Spa heaven awaits us, lil bro."

"Alright." Walking next to his sisters, he went through the double doors and the smell was getting so much heavier than outside. Lincoln saw many people trying to be massaged, sitting in jacuzzis, and relaxing. Most people were wearing towels to cover their naked bodies.

"Ah, welcome to Ze Royal Woods fancy spa." Said the owner in a French accent. "Bieveneu, et l'entree."

"Merci beaucoup, Monsieur." Luna replied. "We need a special day at the spa here to have some fun."

"C'est Bon." Said the owner. "Come right zis way, s'il vous plait." The two siblings followed the male owner to where all the activities were. "We have massages, jacuzzis, and of course, ze steam room. Pick whichever ones you want."

"Okay. Thanks again."

"De rien, ma Cherie." Said the owner before taking off. "Oh, and a votre sante."

"So, What should we do first?" Asked Lincoln.

"Easy, we enjoy a nice massage. Ah, but first thing's first, we gotta take our clothes off. The changing rooms are over there. You know how to tie a towel to your waist, right Linc?"

"Of course."

Both siblings went to the changing room, and they immediately came out with towels covering their bodies. Lincoln honestly felt uncomfortable considering the fact that he was wearing only a towel on his skin.

"You feel a little nervous. You okay?"

"Just a little... shy." Lincoln admitted. "This is the first time I ever been naked in public, even thigh I have a towel."

"Ah, this is completely different." Luna said. "A spa is an exception as long as the towel is covering you, then it's okay."

"I know. Now come on, dude, time for a massage." They volunteered themselves to be in the massage beds next after a middle-aged couple was done with theirs. Lincoln was surprised to see that Miss Dimartino was one of the employees. "Miss- Miss Dimartino?" He Said.

the beautiful woman behind her after hearing her name, and was more than happy to see who said it. "Lincoln, nice to see you again, sweetie. What brings you here?"

Lincoln was lost for words and was blushing due to the fact on how beautiful this woman looked in his eyes. "I'm here to spend some time with Luna here." He replied

"Wonderful. You here for a massage?"

"Yes ma'am." Said Luna boldly. "Why don't you massage Lincoln?"

"Of course. Come here Lincoln, i'll Keep you as relaxed as possible." said Dimartino.

Young Lincoln began blushing an even bigger shade of red on his face, and his heart was beating so fast. "Okay." He replied. He slowly got on the massage bed and Luna got on the second one. A handsome blond man with a buzz cut hairdo with muscles would be her masseause.

Lincoln just relaxed his chin on his arms while laying on his belly. "Alright, sweetheart.' Said Dimartino. "Just relax as I work my magic fingers on your back." It took a little while but Lincoln felt Dimartino's smooth, gentle fingers rubbing against his back and ease his muscles.

"Oh yeah." Lincoln sighed as he closed his eyes. "This feels so good." Yes, Dimartino had the hands of a goddess of Olympus. Her fingers were sure working their magic trying to help him unwind in this massage.

Honestly, Lincoln felt like a very lucky guy having someone like Miss Dimartino do this nice thing for him.

"It feels good. Doesn't it, Lincoln." Dimartino giggled.

"Yeah. I love it." Lincoln moaned. "Please don't stop yet."

She giggled again, and said "It's okay, I am far from over with you."

Luna was also enjoying the sweet hands of the male masseause giving her all the relaxation she needs. "Sweet mercy." She sighed.

"So, how are you working as a masseause when you mostly work as a substitute teacher?"

"What? A person can't more than one job?" Dimartino joked. "Ah I'm only joking with you, Lincoln."

And he made a small chuckle. "Yeah, you're funny Miss D."

"Thank you, Lincoln."

It went on for a long thirty minutes, and Lincoln felt so relaxed after Dimartino was done with the relaxing and soothing massage from her fingers and hands.

"Well, do you feel so relaxed?" She Asked him

"Yeah, Thank you, Ms. D." Lincoln said gratefully.

"You are quite welcome sweetie."

"Well, how did that feel, bro?" Luna asked him.

"It was so amazing." He replied blissfully.

"Why don't we hit the hot tub next?" Luna suggested.

"I would like to, but I don't want to get naked in front of all these people."

"Don't worry about that, sweetie." Said Miss Dimartino. "There are rooms where you can be all alone and enjoy a jacuzzi in peace."

"Really?"

And she nodded a yes to him. "Do not worry, i'll make the arrangement for you. Do follow me." Then Dimartino led him to a room with a large, refreshing hot tub with steam hovering above it. "Do step inside, and feel free to come back out whenever you please."

"Thank you." Said The siblings. As they both set foot in the small room, Lincoln said to Luna, "Can you please... look, away for a second Luna?"

"Say no more, say no more." Luna said with a wink before turning round. With that, Lincoln promptly took the towel off of him, and slowly went on the jacuzzi, sighing in relaxation feeling the warm waters soothing his body.

"Okay, me next, so try and look away when I come in with ya." Luna warned. Lincoln promptly closed his eyes He heard the sound of her towel unraveling and she slowly set foot in the hot tub, sitting next to her brother. "Ahh, that hits the spot." she remarked while sighing in relaxation. "Boy, it feels like there is Smoke on the water."

"You can say that again." Lincoln replied in agreement. "It feels like a maintanence man from the stairway to heaven just brought this gift from above."

"Totally." and she wrapped her arm around his shoulders. "What did I tell ya, Linc? Isn't this fun?"

"yeah! very."

"And I bet it was a sweet bonus of Miss D. working here giving you that massage, huh? Huh?" and she began jabbing his arm with her shoulder playfully.

"Oh, shut up." he chuckled while smiling. Luna didn't take her cute smirk off her face, and just enjoyed relaxing in this jacuzzi. "Okay, i was just surprised Dimartino was working here." and he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, buddy." Luna reassured. "Hey, at least you weren't going completely bonkers over her like last time."

"True. You're right, I didn't lose my head when I saw her."

"Maybe because you're dating Melissa?"

"Possibly."

And they were quiet for a quite a long time. Steam was floating above the jacuzzi waters, and both siblings were having a good time together. In his head, Lincoln was thinking about how silly he was believing spas were only for girls. He thought that kind of stereotype was just plain silly to believe in. Yes, he was beginning to realize what a spa was truly about and learned the fact that it was for everyone to enioy.

For Luna herself was glad Lincoln was here with her to enjoy this relaxing day of leisure. She slowly lowered herself in the water, and only her head was exposed above the liquid. Lincoln followed after and sighed in relaxation again.

"This is refreshing." Lincoln remarked.

"I know. We got another thing coming." Luna concurred. "Just wait till we hit the steam room. It will satisfy my soul, and it will satisfy yours."

It continued on for about thirty long minutes, and Lincoln said "I think I'm done here. You mind covering your eyes again?"

"Not at all, dude." Luna clamped her eyes closed again and Lincoln got out of the jacuzzi to put the towel back on him. Luna opened her eyes again, asked Lincoln to close his own eyes while she was putting the towel back on her body.

Both of them exited of the room and decided to hit the steam room together. Miss Dimartino was there, and she smiled seeing the siblings again. "Did you both enjoy the jacuzzi?"

"heck yeah, miss D." Luna remarked.

"It was soothing." Lincoln added. "I should come here more often."

"Of course. I can assure you that you are more than welcome here anytime, Lincoln." Said Miss Dimartino. "Would you like to try the steam room?"

"Yeah! That would be chill." Said Luna.

Dimartino chuckled again and said "come right this way, please." Following her again, they stopped at a steam booth. "Let me turn on the steam for you kids. Just set foot right inside and do enjoy yourselves."

"Don't mind if we do." Lincopn replied. Stepping inside the booth, they two sat together, and the steam began blasting from the works of the humidifier. It was already starting to get humid within seconds, and it felt so nice and refreshing.

Lincoln and Luna sighed again, and enjoyed the warmth of the steam flowing around them. They sat together, never leaving eachother's side all through the steam flowing and evaporating.

Lincoln never felt so relaxed in all his life before setting foot into the spa. "You see bro, what did I tell you? There's nothing girly about you going to a spa."

"You're right. Sorry for doubting you at first."

"nah, don't be sorry little bro. It's all cool." And she wrapped her arm around his shoulders again to show more sisterly love.

The steam was becoming a little more thick. Thus looking more relaxing and soothing for both their souls.

Lincoln suddenly had the need to stretch his legs like he was walking up from a nap, and all of a sudden. The wotel covering his lower body suddenly flew down. He gave out a girlish scream and covered his unmentionables.

Luna couldn't help but laugh at that little mishap. "That's not funny!" Lincoln flushed.

"Come on buddy, it kinda is." Luna said wiping a tear from her eye.

Lincoln was a little annoyed, but he tied the towel back around his waist. "It's a good thing no one else was here to see this."

"I'm sorry, Lincoln. It's just funny. You know I would never hurt you, right?"

Her brother slowly startle to chuckle and grew a smirk on his face. "Okay, okay. I admit it is kinda funny. After all, it is just you in here with me."

"Right. There ya go. And don't worry. It's like Luan said; we all gotta laugh at ourselves once in a whole."

"Exactly." Lincoln agreed. "Thanks for taking me here, Luna. I really appreciate it."

"And thank you for coming with me, baby bro." And she gave him a kiss on the forehead, and both of them continued the warmth of the steam in the room.
