Hawaiian Healing
Chapter 8 – Accidents
POV- Zac
It had been two days since I arrived in Hawaii. Two days of her being stuck in my head. Her name is now tattooed in my head and in my heart. It pained me to admit it but everything about her makes me attracted to her.
The way she hums while she cooks.
The way her nose scrunches up.
Her sweet laugh.
Her angelic voice.
Everything makes me fall in love with her more, which is the reason I hate her. This trip was for me to get away from everything- media, fans and girls. But here I am practically living with a girl. Although she doesn't sleep in the same house as me, she does live near me. Since I arrive here in Hawaii I've been cooped up in my villa all day, just so I could be near her. Although, I said I hated her for it, I just can't shake the feeling of the wanted and attracted feeling I feel towards her. It's like gravity. You're attracted to someone and can't escape.
The sun's rays hit my face through the glass walls in the living room. The house quiet except for Vanessa's soft humming from the kitchen. I smiled and took a peek from the kitchen where she sat crossed legged in the stool reading a book and a small flower tuck in her ear. I smiled and sat back down the couch, reading the script of my upcoming movie when the sound of the phone filled the room.
I reach towards my pockets and press 'talk' while placing it against my ear.
"Hello" I said
"What's up?" my brother Dylan said.
"Nothing, just chilling at the villa. Why?" I ask.
"What do you mean nothing? And why are you hanging around the house where you could do stuff. I mean, hello! You're in Hawaii for Christ sakes! I would do anything to be in you place man" he demanded. "What are you doing right now exactly?"
I laugh nervously "umm you know…just reading the script of my upcoming movie"
He laughed "dude, this trip was to find yourself again, and you can't do that by being coop up in that house like a vampire! I don't know why you're doing that anyway since your contract might get pulled" he stated.
I scoffed. "They won't pull me out since I haven't been in the camera's eyes" I shot back.
"Yet" Dylan added.
"Whatever" I said rolling my eyes.
"I have to go, but go outside and enjoy Hawaii while it last, ok?" he said pleadingly.
"I'll try" I said and hang up.
I got up from the couch and started walking to the closest bathroom to take a shower, taking a glance at Vanessa still reading her book on my way. I sighed and took my clothes off and let the warm water hit my body. After my quick shower I reach out towards the bar for the towel, and wrap it around my waist and made my way to my bedroom which was connected to the bathroom.
I made my way over to the bad where my clothes lay when I hear a small gasp.
I turned towards the door and my eyes widened. There standing in the door way was Vanessa holding towels and a hand covering her mouth in shock.
"I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. "I didn't know you were finish. I was just going to put some extra towels in your bed. I should of have knock before I- "
I cut her off. "It's totally fine, I swear" I said while scratching the back of my head.
"Oh ...um ok…." Her face started to go red as she approaches me with the towel in her hand.
I smirked as I notice her eyes roaming my body. "You're totally checking me out aren't you?" I said teasingly as I grab the towel from her.
Her face turned even red, "I do Not!" she exclaimed, stomping her foot during the process.
This made me laugh even louder. "Sure you didn't "
"I didn't "she repeated with a scowl on her face and made her way out the door.
"So, do you find me hot?" I ask while trying to hold back laughter.
"AUGH!" she exclaimed and threw her hands against her ears.
I laugh hard as soon as she disappeared
After I put on my clothes, I made my way to the kitchen to get some water before I go to the town. I found Vanessa in the food counter making cheese sandwiches, avoiding any eye contact.
"Hey, sweet cheeks" I said smirking.
She rolled her eyes. "I made you some sandwiches. Do you want me to pack it for you?" she ask trying to sound neutral, hiding her annoyance.
"No, it's fine I can eat in the restaurants in the town" I replied.
"Ok" she said "I'll just have these then. I'll go back to my cabin since everything is clean and you don't need me"
I nodded.
I drive through the small streets of the town in my new BMW 650i, which was one of the many things that they have given me for my vacation. Since I putted the roof of the car down, the cool air hit my face relaxing me.
I parked in front of local restaurants "Lanai City Grille" for a quick lunch since my stomachs have been grumbling the entire car ride.
Ding!
I entered the restaurant and the waitress look up from her reservation book and gasp as soon as she recognizes who he was.
"H-he-hello, my name is Abby, do you have any reservations" she stuttered a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"No, I'm just in for a quick lunch" I said flashing her signature smile.
She nodded. "Just take a seat for a minute while we prepare your table" she said flashing him a shaky smile.
I did what she told me to do and reach for the magazine rack to find myself on the cover of the magazine.
"Efron off to Paradise" was the tittle and a picture of me in the airport with Bell and mom. But what caught my eyes was there was a blurry pic of me and Vanessa meeting in the airport and smiles plastered in our faces. I chuckled. Even though it was a blurry picture, her smile always lit everything up.
I skimmed through the pages and a certain story caught my attention. News about my one and only "ex" was in a magazine again telling about the details in her "tell all" book of our 'relationship'.
I sighed.
I drop the magazine and got out of the restaurant. I shouldn't have left the house. Every time I leave the house, my past haunts me.
I drive back to the villa fast, leaving the bad memory behind.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxxo
I entered the villa and quickly went to the kitchen for some food since I didn't get any lunch yet. I looked at the fridge, but nothing look good.
Cheese sandwiches!
Dang, I should of have accepted Vanessa's offer.
'But I'm a grown man and can cook for myself'' I said to myself, feeling confident.
I took the bread and add some butter and cheese and put it on the pan and turn the stove into 'high' heat.
I grinned. Looks like my parents and Rosa is wrong. I CAN Cook.
I left the kitchen leaving the pan on the stove and into the living room and turned on the TV. Basketball was on and forgot all about the sand which until the smoke alarm started to go off.
"Shit' I said running to the stove and turning it off. I threw away the badly burnt sand which and started to make a new one.
I put the sand which on the pan and let my mind wander. Since I was little I always lose attention easily and it still apply to me today since my sand which has burnt spot in one side.
I sighed.
I'm never going to cook it right.
I look over the kitchen window and saw a small guesthouse with roses planted in all the sides of the house. I grinned guessing it was Vanessa's. I quickly went outside and knock on her door twice, but no one reply.
That was odd. She said she was going to stay in her cabin. Nervously, I reach for the doorknob and twisted it. Surprisingly, the door was unlock and decided to go in since I needed her.
'Needed her to cook my food' I reminded myself.
Since I opened the door already, it was now or never. As I step in the house her smell fill my nose, which gives me a very calming mood, forgetting about my hunger. Suddenly, footsteps filled the air and I was about to go back outside when I caught the most amazing sight….
