Hawaiian Healing

Chapter 12

Butterflies still fill my stomach from the kiss.

Nervousness filled my heart as I opened my eyes and look at her.

Her eyes were still closed, her glossy lips lightly apart. Then a second later, she opened her eyes revealing her big chocolate brown eyes which are staring right at me. She closed her lips and look away from me.

I mentally kick myself, blaming for my actions. I can't believe I did that. We were just starting to get to know each other. But I ruined it. I always mess up, especially when it comes to girls and love.

Love?

I've only known her for a couple of days! I don't even know what being in love to a girl feels like. So how could I know?

I scratch my head and look at her. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." I said feeling sorry. But not once did I feel any regret of my unexplainable actions.

After a moment of silence, standing in front of each other under the moonlight with the waves crashing together in the distance, she finally looked at me.

Her eyes had a hint of excitement and awe. But her voice did not "I thought friends don't kiss friends" she said in a matter of fact.

I was lost for words. How could I answer that? Fortunately for me, she kept going.

"I don't know who you think you are!" she exclaimed "You just came here, met a girl, took her out and kiss her!" her voice filled with rage.

"Look, I said I was sorry! I don't know what the big deal is. It's just a kiss! People do it all the time!" I yelled. But as soon as the words left my mouth, I quickly regretted it, as Vanessa groaned angrily in response.

"Not me! I'm not just your other girls you date!" she said angrily as she made her way to her door.

"What makes you think I do that?" I said, and she looks at me and said "I thought you were different" she said in a soft sad voice. With that she entered her tiny house and closed the door, leaving me standing like a lost puppy.

I threw my hands in the air and cursed silently. I took a last look at the window of her house, hoping to catch a quick glance at her, but got nothing. I walk up to my house in a slow pace. Taking my time, counting the step I took to my door.

100 steps away from her.

I lay my head on my pillow and a sigh came out of my mouth. I finally took a chance and I blew it. No wonder my family think I need a break. I always mess up. They were right, people do get lost in fame and media. I haven't realized it until now. Until I met her.

Mom was right….. Hawaii can either break me or help me.

An awful noise filled my ears.

I squinted at the sun rays hitting my face and look over my shoulder to my night stand and seeing my alarms clock. I groaned and reach towards it to stop the awful noise. I look down to my clothes I was wearing and realized that yesterday was night was not a dream. I smiled. Part of me didn't want it to be a dream. Spending that time with Vanessa was incredible and opened my eyes to being…normal. We went to a carnival which simple and fun. I never had experience it for a long time. Since I became famous I was used to be under the camera's spotlight all the time.

No wonder girls like Kim used me. And I'm a fool to fall under their spells. But unfortunately, part of me wants it all to be a dream. The crave to want to start over and rewind the ending. To makes things right again.

But life is not perfect….life is like hell.

I closed my eyes and try to be calm and be more positive. But that all ended when a pillow hit my face.

The first thought that came to my mind was Vanessa. Was she actually still mad at me? One simple kiss and it's like fighting with fire.

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.

I look over to the doorway and gasp at the sight in front of me. His shoulder Is leaned to the doorway, his one hand in his pocket and the other holding a muffin, was my one and only brother Dylan.

"Took you long enough to wake up" he said in a teasing tone.

"Dylan, what are you doing here?" I asked "When did you get here?"

"Slow down brother. We got lots of time to talk. Go get dress and ready and we'll talk after." He said.

After Dylan left his room, he sat in bed still shock from the unexpected morning surprise.

I thought this get-away is to get away from everything...

What was he doing here?

I don't know what he's crazy mind is up to, but I have a feeling it's not good.

After taking a quick shower, I dash to the kitchen to find Dylan and Vanessa chatting like old friends.

Both of them had smiles on their faces and are into their conversation that they didn't notice that I arrived.

For some reason, jealousy filled me.

I can't believe what my brother is doing right now. I know that they are just talking and all. But, if someone would have seen them, it would look like they like dating.

I feel angry and jealous.

He comes in here and he got her wrap in his little finger. I know I'm being silly with all of these because I know my brother will not do something like that because he has a girlfriend.

But I wish I was him, to be the guy talking to her.

Having enough, I cleared my throat to get their attention.

"Good morning "she greeted me, smiling but not looking at my eyes.

"Morning" I said to her "Now it's time to talk Dyl" I said turning to Dylan.

I sat down on a chair in front him and took the food that Vanessa handed to me. I look over at her. She was wearing a simple outfit with her hair tied in a simple yet beautiful bun. She smiled softly at me and walk out of the room to let us two boys talk.

I followed her move until she left my gaze.

Dylan must have noticed it as he said "They were right"

I turn my head at him in a snap "Right about what?"

"There are many beautiful women in this island" he said smirking

I smack his head playfully "You have a girlfriend. So stop looking, or else I'll Stell"

He smiled playfully. "You have a thing for her" he said thoughtfully.

I shook my head "no, I don't" I said.

"Good!" he said suddenly. He took a magazine from his back and slammed it on the table.

I look at him questionably and took the magazine in my hands and my eyes widened.

This is not good.

Hell officially arrived.
