Hawaiian Healing

Chapter 9

I gasp at the sight in front of me…

There in front of my eyes, was Vanessa standing with only a small towel wrap around her tiny body. Her eyes widened mouth slightly open in shock. Soon the shock innocent face turns into anger.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded.

I my eyes widened. "I. Unmm…I... The door was unlocked" I stuttered.

"Why are you here?" she said in a frustrated tone.

I wanted to say something but I was too mesmerize by the sight in front of me. Her hair was damp and lay effortlessly beautiful on her shoulders. She clutches the small towel against her and notice that the small towel only covered up to her mid- thigh revealing her sexy legs. I continued to stare at her body and didn't notice Vanessa screaming for my attention. I was in the dream land until a pillow hit my face.

"OW!" I screamed. "What was that for?"

"I told you to stop looking!" she answered.

"Really? " I said "because I clearly remember you staring at me this morning!' I fired back, which was the wrong move.

She screams "Just get out!"

"But I need you!" I whined.

"GO!" With that I march off to the door, leaving still hungry.

Vanessa's POV

God, what mess did I put myself into? I just got back home from the villa after seeing THE Zac Efron shirtless, in a towel. No wonder everyone loves him, I mean who wouldn't with that sexy abs and beautiful blue eyes.

'Wait, what am I saying? He's my boss! I can't love him! This is for the best, it's better not to get involve than getting hurt in the end' I reminded myself. But there was something about him that …. I don't know…. I just feel something about him. It's not just about his looks but everything he does get me butterflies in my stomach. I love the way he scratches the back of his neck when he's nervous, the way he laughs, the sound of his voice and the way it felt when he help me out when he first arrived here.

After my little talk with myself, I got out of the shower and wrap my towel around my body. I shivered as the cool air hit my skin. I went out of my tiny bathroom and was about to walk in my bedroom when my door opened.

There standing in MY front door was the one and only Zac Efron.

Lots of emotions filled my body:

Amaze, since he look a little disoriented but still manage to look good.

Shock, since I thought he was going into town

Mad, since he entered my only place where I can be alone without asking me.

Outrage since he wouldn't stop looking at ME…in my towel. I yelled at him to get out but he was just standing there like his shoes were glued to the floor, and his eyes on mine.

So I had it, I threw a pillow at his face. If I wasn't that angry, I would of have laugh from his surprise face.

Feeling like it was ages, Zac finally left my house and I ran to my small room and slammed the door and falling in the floor with my head in my hands. I can't believe that happened to me.

Stupid! I smack my head frustratingly; I can't believe I forgot to lock my own door! What would have had happened if it was another guy. I shivered.

This is so humiliating! He saw me half naked! I can never show myself in front of him again! But I have too! He said it himself: He NEEDED Me.

I chuckled half-heartedly, the way he whined was so adorable.

I sighed. Although I'm too embarrassed, I have to face him again at one point, because he is my boss and I need the money to pay my college fees since I registered last week.

I got up and started to get dress…..

Zac POV

I entered my villa and slammed the door hard. I can't believe I did that. She must hate me terribly. But I couldn't help it, she was too beautiful.

I sat down in the couch with my head on my hands. I close my eyes and try to stay calm. What is she doing to me? She's making me crazy….. In a good way. I don't know what I'm feeling. All I know is that I'm attracted to her. But is it a different attraction I felt when I was with Kim?

I sighed once again, and heard footsteps coming near me. I look up and saw Vanessa standing in front of me shyly.

'You said you needed me to do something?" she ask

I smiled and scratch the back of my neck. "Look, I'm sorry about what happened earlier" I said flashing my winning smile.

She rolled her eyes at my smile "its fine. Now what did you ne—"she stop and look at the kitchen. "What is that smell?"

I chuckled nervously. "About that …well I was hungry and I tried to make a cheese sandwich but it burned on me"

She laughs. "I thought you would be eating at the town?"

I avoided her gaze. "I wasn't feeling it"

"Ok then" she smiled and started cooking my sandwich.

I smiled as I watch her cook with grace without making an effort.

"So what are you doing afterwards?" she asks me curiously.

"Nothing, why?"

"Well, you are in Hawaii for a vacation. And for a person in a vacation you don't go out and explore." She said looking at me.

"Well maybe you should show me around then" I said grinning.

"Mmmm maybe." She said trying to hide her smile as she place the grilled cheese in front of me.

"Thanks."

"No problem. If you're not busy reading that script, I'll teach you how to cook." She said smiling softly.

"I'd like that" I return the smile.

…...

After eating the BEST sandwich that I ever tasted I sat down the couch and turned on my laptop. For some reason I can't stop smiling. This made me realize that I want to get to know Vanessa more. The whole purpose of this vacation is to find myself. And whenever I'm around her, I just feel…..alive. This is the risk I'm going to take; Get closer to Vanessa, even if my heart is on stake.

I look at my screen and saw there was a small carnival on town.

Perfect!

I went to Vanessa's house and knock this time, where she answered happily.

"Hey "she said shyly.

I scratch the back of my neck. "Umm… there's a carnival tonight "

Her eyebrows rose "Yes, I've heard about it. Why?" she ask.

My cheek burned "I was thinking we should check it out together."

Excitement filled her eyes and smiled "I would love that" she said "but this isn't a date is it?" she said avoiding my eyes.

I was taken back "No, of course not. We'll just go as friends. We are friends aren't we?" she nodded. "Plus you can be my tour guide" I smiled cheekily.

She giggled "of course".

"Great! I'll come and get you in an hour so we can both have time to get ready." I grinned.

"Ok" she beams at me and closes the door.

Once the door was close I jump up, pumping my fist in the air.

"YES!" I was glad that was over, it's like asking a girl for the first time. Even though I have done this, more than once, and this wasn't really a date, I have never felt anything like this before.
