... late afternoon Sunday ...
For Max, the tourist-infestation was prooving lucrative. It had been more than a month since his last delivery and the staff reported they were selling out of items. The coming supply order on Wednesday was a monster.
Before he left work, he gave Niichi and Deek a heads up. They would need to be on their toes as the delivery would come after lunch and at prime surf-shack time.
"Sorry, it's a lot of stuff guys. We'll just stack it at the side door and worry about unpacking it later."
The boy's told Max they would be fine, but Niichi took the occasion to tease Deek: "We can always ask Deek's admirer's to help." He pointed to the group of girls who had been growing roots and were homesteading a mere ten meters from the shack.
"They've only missed two days in two weeks. I think I know all their names by now.""Oh, really? Why don't you ask them?" Deek swung his arm out. He directed Max's attention to two very persistent fanboy beachgoers, slash, Niichi devotees, that Max had seen since last season." Other than being friendly, Niichi had never paid any real regard to them.
"You two sound like a married couple."
Niichi successfully switched the conversations direction. He teased Max this time: "P'Tul didn't come today. You must be anxious to go home and see your babe."
It was true. Max had become accustomed to looking toward the deck and seeing Tul there. He frowned.
"I am." Max leaned over the counter and spoke to them as if he were relaying a secret. "I still get butterflies every time my babe crawls into bed at night."
His frown was replaced with the most devilish grin.
