part 20

After wrapping up her conversation with her brothers, Akaia walked back to Mak'korro and Tuk.

"Sorry about that, they wanted to ask me a question." She apologised.

"Thats all good sis, me and Mak'korro were having a nice chat." Tuk said smiling at Mak'korro before looking back to Akaia.

The older girl looked towards the boy, noticing a blush that tinted his cheeks. They stared at each other for a second before Mak'korro clears his throat.

"I should probably get going, mum wants me to help prepare for the Tulkans arrival." The boy said reluctantly, Akaia nods at the boy understanding that he is busy. Tuk on the other hand was upset she lost her playing partner.

"But we aren't finished playing yet." She whines, looking towards the boy with puppy eyes.

Mak'korro sighs looking to Akaia for help, "Tuk, Mak'korro is very busy okay? He is the future Olo'eyktan, he has to do his duties." She explains to her sister.

Tuk sighs turning her head towards the boy, "Can we play another time? You are better then Lo'ak at playing, he sucks."

Mak'korro laughs at the girl nodding, "Of course we can play again Tuk." He said with a sincere smile.

Akaia felt her butterflies return once, as he looked towards her with his ocean eyes. "I will see you guys around." He said with a wave before walking away.

She watched as he walked away, with a lovesick expression on her face.

Tuk rolled her eyes at her sister, "You are soooo in love with him."

Akaia's head snapped towards Tuk, who was staring at her older sister with a smug grin.

"Who told you that?" Akaia questions Tuk, praying that the young girl didn't hear her confession to her parents last night.

"No one, I can just tell." Akaia rolls her eyes at her smug sister before going back to carving the toy.

She's definitely been spending to much time with Kiri.

"Are you going to mate with him?" She asks suddenly, making Akaia look towards Tuk with a shocked expression.

"Tuk! You are way too young to even know about things like that!" She lectured the girl in a hushed voice.

"Well are you?"

"Tuk, drop it now." She replied in a stern voice, silencing the girl.

The two sat in silence for a few minutes before Tuk speaks again.

"If you do mate with him will he live with us? I like playing with him." Akaia stands from her spot suddenly, looking towards Tuk with a sigh.

"We are going home." She said grabbing Tuks hand gently.

"Why arent you answering my questions?" She complained as she gathered her toys hurriedly.

"Because they are silly questions about things you shouldn't know about yet." Akaia said rolling her eyes, she has definitely learnt this stuff from Lo'ak.

When the two arrived home her parents were sat at the fire cooking lunch for the family. Jakes eyes fall on her almost immediately, she avoids his eye contact as she put away all her carving materials.

Jake swallows thickly before looking towards Neytiri. The woman looked at him with a pointed look nodding her head towards Akaia. Jake sighs before clearing his throat.

"Akaia I need to speak to you." He said with a frown.

The girl turned around, looking towards her father with concern on her face, "Sure, whats up?" She said cautiously. They hadn't talked since their argument the other day."

Jake exhales again looking towards his mate for support, Neytiri sends him a sharp glare making his frown deepen, before looking back to Akaia.

"I just wanna speak to you about something, we should go outside."

Akaia frowned. What the hell is wrong with him? Why is he acting like this?

"Okay?" She replied as she followed him outside. They two sat down on the dock, right outside the marui. Jake inhaled before turning to look at her with a unreadable expression on his face.

"Im sorry for my behaviour lately. I have forgotten that you and your siblings are young. These years of your life are meant to be the most important years of your life and in my effort to protect you all I have been depriving you all from living like normal teens should."

"Look, I don't want to have this conversation with you but your mother is forcing me to." He said looking at the water and not at her face.

Akaia looks at the man urging him to continue.

"Okay so, I don't know what is going on between you and that boy, but I need to know that you guys are being.... uh, safe?"

Oh my Eywa. This cant be happening.

"Dad, please stop." She said putting her hands up to her face from embarrassment.

"Look I know you are responsible and he probably is as well, but, you know... I dont really want any grandchildren running around any time soon." He said with a nervous laugh.

Akaia looked up from her hands with a mortified look, "Dad we aren't even a couple! We are just friends right now!" She exclaimed, embarrassed by this whole conversation.

"Okay well this applies for the future as well, just be safe, okay?" He says nodding towards her. Akaia covers her mouth, still in utter disbelief that this conversation is happening.

She nods at her father hoping this conversation would end soon.

He looks at her again, "You do know how to be safe, right? Do I need to explain it?"

Akaia abruptly stands from her spot, "Okay thats it i'm done." She says walking away from him.

"I was just making sure." He said in a defeated voice as he rubbed his face from the stress.

The girl walked back into the home, only to face all her siblings who had cheeky smiles on their faces.

Oh Eywa please spare me, she prayed mentally as she walked past them, grabbing a serving of fish that her mother had finished cooking.

She sat on her mat, away from all her siblings not wanting to face them right now. Akaia was so embarrassed, that was the last thing she would ever want to talk to her dad about.

Jake walked in a few minutes later, also looking embarrassed as he took his spot next to mate, whispering to her. Neytiri sighed before looking towards her daughter who was sitting alone.

Neytiri got up from her spot walking over to Akaia.

Akaia groaned as the woman sat next to her.

"Mother please, I dont wanna-" She started, before the older woman put up her hand, silencing the girl.

"Don't worry i'm not gonna talk about anything, that was your father's job." She said with a smug smile, "I just didn't want you to sit alone." Akaia smiled at her mother.

The mother and daughter sat in comfortable silence as they ate their food.
