Hawaiian Healing
Chapter 17:
He watch silently with love and affections in his eyes as her eyes started to close. He buried his head in her curls and breathes in the scent of her strawberry shampoo. He smiled. How amaze he was of the feeling that he is experiencing. They truly were right. The feeling of being in love with someone special makes you feel that you are on top of the world.
He watches her for a couple of minutes with a smile on his face and started to close his eyes, bringing the girl sent from heaven in a tight embrace, Protecting her from anything that comes in their way.
But his perfect moment was disturb by an unexpected doorbell. He groaned and hid his face in his lover's curls. Not bothering to get up.
'Maybe they get the hint that no one is home by not answering it' he thought.
But he was wrong as the unknown visitor had once again pressed the doorbell. But this time, a knock came after the doorbell and with more force.
He sighed frustratingly that he had to get up in the middle of the night and remove himself from the angel that lies in his bed.
After trying to remove his arms slowly from Vanessa's waist without waking her up he had successfully manage to get up from the bed with an annoyed expression in his face.
Zac grab the door handle and opened the door to face an unfamiliar woman in front of his door.
"Can I help you?"
"OMG! I can't believe the Zac Efron just talked to me." the girl said excitedly.
Zac looked at her with a confuse and annoyed face. "Who are you and how do you know I am staying here" he said with a serious face.
He looks around the house to check if there were any paparazzi who finally found him.
She shook her head fast. "Oh, don't worry no one knows this is your place. My name is Lucinda and I kind of also work in this island and I also work for your parents." she said. "I'm sorry to disturb you Mr. Efron but I just want to ask if you have seen my worker Vanessa. She is the cook and cleaner for you while you stay in this villa."
Zac nodded and opened the door for her. He chuckled silently, from the expression of Lucinda's face as I invited her in.
"How do you know Vanessa?" he ask as they sat down in the living room.
"Well like I said she works for me and we are also great friends. After learning her situation, I have grown fond of Vanessa and I check on her once in a while. But I checked on her yesterday and I didn't find her in her house. This got me worried since she never like to stay out late so I checked again right now. But I'm afraid that she isn't there again so I was wondering if you have seen her?"
Zac smiled brightly. "Don't worry, she's fine." he scratches the back of his neck "She is actually staying here with me."
Lucinda gasps. "What do you mean here?"
"Well. … Umm I am assuming you're a great friend of Vanessa, so could you please not tell anyone about this"
She nodded slowly and leaned in, curious about what he was about to say.
"Well, we are kind of together now" Zac said smiling. "Not officially of course since I wanted to ask her to be mine officially."
She squealed and claps her hand. "I'm so happy for the both of you. I am really grateful that Vanessa has found someone. I knew bringing her in here was a good thing for her. But I don't know if your parents will be happy about this" she shook her head sadly.
He nodded. "Thanks. "He rubbed his eyes with his eyes, tired. "About my parents, I haven't exactly told them anything and I will soon in time. But I haven't even made it official with Vanessa. I'm still trying to come up with an idea on how to ask her to be officially my girlfriend."
She gasps. "Really?" she exclaimed. "What have you got in mind?"
Zac flashed a small smile just by thinking about Vanessa. "Well, I was thinking of something simple since Vanessa is that type of girl and I love her for it. So I was thinking of cooking her breakfast and adding a little bit of things in the side"
Lucinda smiled at him adoringly. "She would love that" she looks at her watch and look at Zac with an apologetic smile. "I'm so sorry Mr. Efron; I haven't realized what time it is. I must have awoken you" she said getting up.
Zac shook her head. "It's no problem. It's very nice to meet you."
They shared a friendly hug. "If you need anything, just call me. My number is in the magnet of emergency numbers in the fridge." she said.
After bidding goodbye, Zac closed the door grateful for the visit. He was sure that he would need the help he could get to pull it off. Since that he couldn't cook at all.
He went over to his bedroom and seeing the girl of his dreams laying in his bed, his worries had disappeared.
He took her in his arms once again and finally closed his eyes.
Since after the break up, waking up was the worst thing he wants to do. Because it made him go back in the real world, which he wants to avoid since everyone is crowding him.
But since he arrived here and meeting Vanessa, he has changed little by little each day. Finally finding his real self that have been lost for a really long time
The vibrating of the alarm clock on his phone woke him up. It was finally the day that they would be official. Only if he can make it
He removes himself from Vanessa so that he can finish in time. He went to the drawer to take out a small cookbook that keeps. Zac found the pancake recipe and stared at it blankly.
What have he gotten his self into.
He quickly rushes to the side of the fridge to retrieve Lucinda's number. He dialed her number with anticipation.
"Hello" a girl's tired voice came through the phone.
"I need your help" he said anxiously.
She groaned. "At 6 am" she exclaimed
Zac scratches the back of his neck. "Yes. I can't do it. I can't understand any of the instructions. Besides, you offered to help."
He waited for a response, but found none and sighed. "I knew it; this idea is too complicated for me. I think I'm just going to ask her in a nice restaurant."
"NO!" said Lucinda suddenly. "Don't give up, I think its brilliant, Vanessa would absolutely love it"
"Really?" Zac said. 'But I can't do it."
She sighed. "Get the ingredients ready, I'll be there."
"Yes! No wonder you're Vanessa friend, you're amazing."
"I know" she said tiredly.
After waiting for half an hour, Lucinda finally came. She came in the kitchen and sat down. Zac look at her confused.
"Well" he said motioning to the ingredients "Aren't you going to help me?"
"I said I would help you, not cook for you" she said rolling her eyes.
"But I ca-"was about to say but Lucinda interrupted him. "Stop saying that, Vanessa likes things like these, it's the thought that counts" she said shrugging her shoulders.
"Fine" Zac mumbled.
….
"Easy". Lucinda once again as she watch Zac trying to flip the pancakes with difficulty
She rolled her eyes as another pancake flew across the room, a sign of total failure. "Men" she mumbled.
Zac sighed and poured another batter in the pan. So far, he has no successful pancakes. Two of them were burnt and the other two ended up out of the pan and in the floor or in the stove.
"I'm never going to cook again." he whined.
"Remember, you are doing this for Vanessa." Lucinda said, and Zac nodded.
After many tries, Zac has been feeling down with his plan. But just in time, a small voice called after him, making his heart beat fast.
"Zac" Vanessa called out.
He smiled and went to the bedroom where Vanessa was sitting up in bed, the covers wrap around her tiny body.
"Good Morning" Zac greeted her with a bright smile.
"Who's there?" she asked. "I heard voices. "
Zac scratch the back of his neck, suddenly nervous. "Well, unmm… I was and am doing this surprise for you and I needed a little help from your friend Lucinda who I met last night. She came to see and ask if I have seen you. She has been worried that she found you not in your house these couple of nights, when you were with me." he said.
Vanessa nodded and crawled over to Zac's inviting arms and rested her head in his shoulder.
His arms were wrapped automatically around her. "You know you don't have to do this surprise thing you're doing" she said quietly. He made her face him and look at her in the eyes.
"I want to. I always wanted to do this, I just needed the perfect girl for me to do it on." he said warmly.
She nodded and smiled. "I can't wait to see it" she said and hugged him. Both their hearts beats fast from the affections that they are giving each other that they have never done with anyone.
After a couple of minutes of them cuddling together in the bed, Zac finally let go of her and tucked her back in the covers.
"Stay here; I'll finish your surprise soon so you can see it"
She nodded excitedly, and kisses him in the cheek, thankful. Zac smiled back at her, now in full spirit, Zac rushed back in the kitchen with more determination…..
After many complaints and instructions from Lucinda, Zac finally made a successful breakfast of pancakes.
"Thanks Lucinda" he said gratefully, as he bid goodbye to her.
She nodded. "I know and Vanessa would love it" she said before she went out the door and back to her house where she can finally go back to sleep.
Zac went to the top terrace where he had set up a table with roses and candles. He placed the two plates of pancakes in the table with two glass of juice. He took a step back and inspected it.
It was perfect; it was everything he had planned. He checks the plate of pancakes that I made especially to Vanessa with blueberries on top arranged to spell out at "Be Mine". His plan was simple, but yet beautiful like his love.
He went back to his room where he found Vanessa found asleep buried in the many pillows surrounding her.
Zac smiled and sat beside her. He was truly taken back by her beauty that he was lost for words. He grabs his phone from the bedside table and took a picture of Vanessa, and placing it as his screensaver. He loves the way that even when she is asleep; she still manages to make him fall in love even more.
After looking at her for a while, he had to disturb her peaceful form which he hated himself for.
"Vanessa?" he said quietly while stroking her curls.
"Mmmm" she manages to get out.
"Wake up princess, your surprise is ready."
After a couple of minutes she finally opened her eyes and saw the most beautiful blue eyes she has ever seen. Her mood lifted when she saw who it was. Vanessa reaches out and strokes his hair. Zac leaned in and wrap his arms around her and buried his face in her neck.
She giggled as Zac's breathing on her neck tickles her. "Zac, move. I want to go back to sleep."
He shook his head and lifted her up, she squealed in surprise. "Zac, put me down"
"Nope" he said grinning and carried a squealing and giggling Vanessa to the top terrace where her surprise awaits.
She gasps and covered her mouth with her hand. Zac sets her down and Vanessa's eyes were filled with tears.
Zac frowned 'What's wrong?"
She shook her head. "It's just so beautiful; no one has ever done this before "she said now sobbing.
He weakly chuckled as she bought her into him. "Well, you're going to have to get used to it now" he said as he bought her closer to the table so she can read the small but meaningful message.
She gasps once again as she read the message. She turned around with a big smile on her face and wraps her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.
Zac was taken by surprise, but gladly kissed her back.
"Wow" they both said and smiled at each other.
"Is that a yes?" Zac ask nervously.
Vanessa laughs 'YES!"
Zac grinned at her widely and spun her around….his life is finally getting better by each day thanks to the beautiful girl in his arms and would do anything to keep it that way.
