Hawaiian Healing

Chapter 10

My heart is jumping for joy. I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm going to the carnival with Vanessa. I just hope that no one recognize me and take pictures.

I smiled at myself in front of myself in the mirror. But that smile disappears as I smell my arms. Shoot. I need to take a shower. I glance at the time and saw it would be too late so I took my cologne and sprayed it all over me.

I grinned again. But notice that I sprayed too much cologne.

NO! Now I really need to take a shower. I groaned and quickly took my clothes off and took a shower.

After taking a quick shower I look at the clock and saw I'm late. I sighed. Way to ruin the first impression. But its better I fix my cologne problem than her gagging by the overdone of cologne.

This is now or never.

I went up to her door and knock with my hands shaking. The door opened revealing Vanessa in a blue shirt and shorts that displayed her long legs.

"Took you long enough" she giggled. "I thought you back out on me"

I grinned after hearing her giggle. "Nah, I would never do that" I took her hand leading her the way, noticing sparks went off in my body when our hands touch.

I opened the door of my car to let Vanessa in.

"Thanks" she said as I got in my seat.

"No problem, my mother taught me to be a gentlemen" I winked at her, causing her to roll her eyes. "You look pretty today" I said, and quickly widening my eyes after realizing what I said. "What I mean is you always look nice and I ...umm" I stuttered.

She laughs. "Thanks" she blushed "You look good too "she said indicating to my blue button down shirt that has the first 4 buttons left undone revealing some of my chest.

I chuckled, remembering her shock face when she saw me in only a towel.

"We match" I said pointing to our shirt color.

She giggled. "I guess we do what a coincidence"

I look at her amaze, as I stop the car to let a pedestrian cross the road. How could someone be so breath-taking without trying? Where have I been all this time? I guess meeting Kim was a good thing because she had led me to Vanessa, who has captured my attention and curiosity.

"Hello? Earth to Zac, you can move the car now and other cars are behind us." She reminded me with a questioning look on her face.

Busted

I blush. "I knew that"

"Was there something on my face?" she questioned.

"What? No, why?"

"Well you were staring at me. For a long while I might add" she said.

"No, I was just thinking." I whispered. "So what do you want to do on the carnival? Because I haven't really been on a carnival since I was like 2 years old, I think" I admitted, trying to change the subject.

She looked at me shock. My heart beating fast, sensing that she knows that I am attracted to her.

"YOU haven't been on a carnival?" She exclaimed.

I breathe out a sigh of relief. This gave her even more questioning looks on her face.

"It's finally good to let that secret out" I said flashing a nervous smile.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." She said.

I smiled and finally arrived at the park near the beach where the carnival was held at.

Laughter, screaming and cheering filled the air when we both got out. Bright colors, balloons, game booths, food stands, and rides filled my vision. I look at Vanessa who was smiling brightly at the sight in front of her.

I put on my hat, trying to lower the chance of getting caught and closed the door and reach for Vanessa to take her hand.

She look up at me, surprise from my actions. "It's crowded. I don't want to get us separated" I said and she let me.

This made me smile even brighter. She led me to the tickets booth to get us tickets for the rides.

"40 tickets please" she said while reaching for her pockets to get money.

I stop her hand and gave the girl the money after getting our tickets.

"You're going to be my guide in this carnival. It's the least I can do" I said before she could protest.

"You don't have to do that" she said.

"I know. But I want to." I said smiling "Now, do you have any recommendations in which ride to go first?" this made her grin.

"Yes! Let's go!" she said grabbing my hand and leading me to the roller coaster line.

After 5 minutes of waiting in line, it was finally our turn. We buckled up, excitement filled our faces.

"Are you sure you can handle this?" I asked smirking.

She rolled her eyes and scoff. "Please Efron, I Love roller Coasters and I bet I can ride more than you can"

I smirked. "Is that a bet?" she nodded.

"Deal" I said grinning. "We ride as much as we can and whoever quit first loses."

"What if I win? What will I get?" she smiled mischievously.

"Whoever wins get to do whatever they want and the one who lose gets to be their slaves for the day." I said grinning. We look at each other and said "deal!" at the same time.

With that the ride starts, creeping up the massive hill in a slow teasing pace. At last we reach the peak of the hill and grabbed Vanessa's hand and we screamed as we went down and the speed increases in each turn.

We got out of our chair and headed for the exit with shaking legs.

"That was fun! Ready for round two?"

She nodded in excitement and led the way to the lineup.

After five rounds in the roller coaster, we both finally gave up and declared a tie. We sat down for 20 minutes, trying to calm our nerves down and headed off to the cafeteria to get some food.

After ordering fries and burgers with milkshakes, we sat down under the shade besides the tree that was slightly away from the loud carnival. Finally, some peace, quiet, alone time and to dwindle the chance of being recognized.

This made me slightly nervous being alone with Vanessa in a quite romantic and intimate place. We were on top of a hill slightly away from the carnival and overlooking the ocean.

We started eating;

"That was the most fun I had so far for a long time" she stated, breaking the silence.

I smiled. "Same as me"

"What do you want to do after?" She asks.

"Maybe play some games?"

"Only if you win me something" she smiled cheekily.

I grinned and led her back to the carnival. This was going to be interesting. This is my time to show her my skills and impress her. Hopefully for the rest of the trip everything will go smoothly.

Not the best...but there will be a part 2 on their carnival experience:)

Thanks for the reviews!
