him over these past few weeks. Lately, he wasn’t always the pain-in-my ass that he always has been. And he’s definitely moved several notches above my annoying little brother Leo- tard . I snickered to myself at my thought , and I noticed just then that Brennan seemed to smile a little bigger. I looked at him and Anya for a moment and saw how beautiful and glowing they both really were. Brennan winked. He winked? Why did he just wink at me? I shuddered and glanced back over to Nick.
    Nick nodded at my suggestion of them joining us at the beach, “Yeah, you should come hang out. It’ll be more fun for us to hang out with you guys, than to watch my dad rub sunscreen on my mom’s back. Iccchgg .” He gave a shudder and winced. We all chuckled , and Anya and Brennan agreed to meet us at the beach the next morning. “Well, we’ll let you two get back to…alone time,” Anya winked at me and shoved at Brennan’s shoulder, pushing him away from us.
    “Uh. Yeahhhh . Guess we’re takin ’ off now,” Brennan chimed in as he gave the evil eye to his sister , silently warning her to keep her hands off him. Actually, my Fairy hearing picked up what he was actually saying and it was more like, “ Sweet stars of Mars, Anya! Don’t be so pushy! What’s the rush? I’m having a decent time here .” Anya rolled her eyes at him and nodded towards me. Brennan gave a little nervous smile. He still sometimes forg ets that I c an hear the silent conversations between him and his sister. I smiled and waved at the both of them as if I was unaware of Brennan’s annoyance with his sister and his not-so-obvious desire to hang around for a bit. Finally, by ourselves again, Nick and I leisurely walked up the street , hand in hand, chatting about the new CDs we had bought. The sun was finally setting and my sto mach was starting to growl. Oh g eesh . I hope he didn’t hear that! “I am starving!” I announced, as I grabbed my stomach, just in case he did hear it .
    “Yeah! Me too. Ready to head back?” I nodded , and Nick led me back down the street towards our hotel so we could meet his parents for dinner. Other than that close-call with the dumbass on the motorcycle, this really was the beginning of a perfect vacation!

 
    Chapter 5
     
    We sat down to dinner at White Caps, a restaurant right near the wat er with excellent views of the b ay. I glanced up from my chair and noticed Mr. Martino pull the chair out from the table and usher his wife to her chair. Awwww ! Isn’t that just the sweetest thing ever? Nick often did little romantic things for me, too. Like surprising me with flowers, or taking me on a boat ride around the lake… I guess he learned a few things from his dad. I let out a big, relaxing sigh. Nick put his hand on my knee under the table , and I felt a zing of tingles run up my thigh. How was I supposed to concentrate on eating with Mr. Hotness touching me like that?  I raised my eyebrows at him and smiled. I opened a menu and held it between us so we could look at it together. As I was perusing the entrees, I couldn’t help but overhear the people at the table next to us. The middle-aged man was wear ing a plaid short-sleeved shirt tucked into his khaki shorts , black socks and brown hiking boots.  He was animatedly talking and gesturing to the woman sitting acro ss the table from him. She was plump , with her dark hair done up in a kind of old-fashioned bouffant hairstyle . S he had on a bright flowery-print sundress.  Nick and I looked at each other with wide eyes and that was it . One surprised look at each other and w e started c huckling softly as we listened, trying to contain our laughter.
    The man went on ,“ …Yah, so like I was sayin ’ eh, dem apple knockers from da mitten had dere crawler gear pre- ne e r us. And d er dey were ; towsands of deer standing in da field side by each! Dem T rolls just ‘bout scared dem all clear overseas!”
    “Holy wah ! Yah, sure he y!!” She exclaimed in
