Hawaiian Healing

Chapter 18:

She giggled softy as she felt Zac's head go deeper in her neck, giving her small kisses. Each small kisses sent her big butterfly feelings in her stomach. They were truly in bliss.

After eating the delicious meal that Zac has prepared for the both of them, he took her in his arms sat in the beach chair near them, looking out the ocean while kissing each other with affection. How every minute they spend time with each other made them more in love than ever.

She loves the feeling of his strong arms protecting her. Which she really needed the most since she had no one since her parents died and having him there bought her back to life. After being in Hawaii, he had finally found his old self back all with the girl in his arms. She made him feel normal, not having to put up an act. He love making her smile and laugh and plans to never let go of the angel in his arms.

Zac turned her around to kiss her passionately and Vanessa returned the sweet kiss before pulling a way slightly.

"Do you want to do something today with me?" he asks, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

She nodded while wrapping her arms around his neck. "Like what?"

"Go surfing with me?" he said grinning, while Vanessa frowned. She looked down and fiddled with his hands and shook her head.

"I don't really know how to "she whispered.

Zac cooed. "Aw baby, that's what I'm here for, I'll be happy to teach you. As long as I get to spend more time with you"

She looks at Zac with amazement "Are you sure? I don't want to hold you back" Zac laughs "Don't worry about it. I'm more excited to teach you than go by myself. "He said while rubbing her back soothingly.

She smiles and place her head in his shoulder, "What should I wear?" he smiled as Vanessa finally agrees. "Do you have a rash guard?" he asks.

"No" she said shyly. He kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry, I have an extra for you to use. Just wear a bikini top with no strings and some board shorts."

"Ok "she said and kissed him before hopping off his lap and dash to the door to go to her house, while Zac chuckles watching her filled with excitement.

…

After packing some snacks and drinks for them to eat when they take a break from surfing he met Vanessa where she was sitting in the sand with her black wavy hair blowing with the wind, wearing an outfit that makes her even more irresistible.

His heart started to race, as their eyes met. They both love the feeling of whenever they see each other; they are the main focus of your energy. Nothing else exists or is important whenever they are around each other.

"Wow" Zac said to her, shock "You look amazing" he said to Vanessa whose arms were wrapped around her waist.

"Really\' she said looking up to him.

"Definitely." he said seriously. "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met – both in the inside and out".

She stared at him with amazement and full of love and wraps her arms around his built body. "I love you so much" she said.

He chuckled and returns the hug "As I love you"

…..

"Why do I have to wear this?" she asks curiously, while wrinkling her nose as she held up the rash guard the Zac handed her.

He laughed while tying up her hair for her. "It's to make sure that if your bikini top does get wipe off by the waves – which is more likely to happen, no man could see the goods if you wear it. " he said, now feeling awkward.

She smiled as his cheeks became red and decided to put it on. She had to admit that it was really nice for him to make sure that today was going to be a fun day and taking care of her. After she put it on, she immediately loves it since she can smell his scent in his shirt.

She grinned and twirled around Zac to show off her new outfit for the day. He grabs her hip playfully and twirled her around. "The shirt suits you more than I do" he whispered in her ear, making her shiver.

She giggled and took my hand and led him to the surfboard that he laid out in the sand. "Are you going to teach me now?" he nodded, smiling.

"That's right baby. You're doing it!" cheered Zac. They have been practicing paddling in the sand for over an hour and both are enjoying it. Vanessa was really impressed that Zac was such an amazing teacher and really happy that she get to learn something new. While Zac on the other hand, was really enjoying teaching and seeing her smile. Not to mention the little bonus this was being

Vanessa threw her head back, laughing at Zac's enthusiasm. "I'm not even in the water yet." he reminded him.

"So?" he said giving her a pointed look. 'You're doing really well, even if you're just practicing in the sand"

"SO, can we go in the water now?" she said batting her eyelashes to give effect. Zac scratch his neck "Are you sure? "

She nodded excitedly. "You said I was doing great, plus you'll be right by my side right?"

He smiled down at her and offered his hand to help her up. "Don't worry; I won't let anything hurt you". Vanessa smiled up to him and they ran down to the water.

Vanessa squealed as the cool water touches her skin. "Still want to do this?" Zac asked and she nodded enthusiastically.

She got into the board and started to paddle. She had to admit that she was beginning to turn slightly scared since she just realized it was harder than she had thought. But with Zac by her side, guiding her she felt relieved and safe.

"Alright" Zac suddenly spoke up, snapping her out of her thoughts "There's a wave up ahead. Be ready to stand" he said and stops swimming beside her to let her ride the wave, but made sure he was still close to her just in case she wipe out.

She felt her heart beat rise as she turn the board around by paddling hard on right of the board. She sat in the board with her legs in each side of the board. She looked back at the wave and back to Zac.

He nodded and gave her thumbs up. She quickly began to paddle and as soon as she felt the speed of the wave and it begins to break, she crouched down slowly just like what Zac had taught her and stood up quickly.

The moment she stood up, she could hear Zac cheering. Her knees were shaking as tried to balance in the board during the wave. But she did it. She balances for a whole ten seconds before crashing.

As soon as she saw her fall, Zac immediately swam to her.

"Zac!" she yelled in panic.

As soon as she yelled, he immediately thought of the worst. Where is she? Is she drowning? All the thoughts that came up to his head made his heart beat fast.

Finally he caught sight of her near the surfboard that was trashing in the water for help. He quickly came to her and pulled her to him.

He made his way back to the beach with Vanessa in his arms, whose head was tucked in at the crook of his neck.

As soon as they made their way to beach, he took Vanessa's head and look at her.

She was sobbing silently, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she smiled up at him.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Zac asked concerned. Vanessa sniffed. "I did it" she whispered.

Zac chuckled dryly, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"I hit the water pretty bad, and as soon as I fell I came back up quickly and the wave was pretty rough that it slammed the surfboard in my face. So I went under, and after that I began to panic and wanted you." she explained.

He hugged her tight. "Oh, baby I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have made you go surfing since the wave was pretty rough today" he said and placed kisses all over her face.

She pushed him off slightly "It's not your fault Zac, I was the one who insisted to go .Besides, I did last for a pretty good seconds in that board and I wouldn't have done it without your help" she smiled gently while stroking his hair out of his face.

'I know, but still." he mumbled.

"Sshhh" she said pressing her fingers in his lips. "It's no one's fault. So stop that" she said firmly and he bowed his head in defeat.

"Come on, I want to go again" she said taking his hand. Zac immediately looked at her with seriousness. "Absolutely not"

"I'll be ok, I know what to expect this time" she pleaded while Zac shook his head. "The waves are rough today. Maybe tomorrow"

She looked at him for a moment and sighed. "Ok" she said defeated as Zac kissed her nose. "Maybe I'll even surf along with you" he said cheering her up which worked.

"Promise?" She said pouting.

"I promise with all my heart" he said before pulling her in for a hug.

After the disastrous surfing experience, the two-some decided have a picnic that Zac had planned.

"Mmmm" Moaned Vanessa as she took a bite of her peanut jelly sandwich. "You're becoming a good cook"

Zac laugh maybe because I have someone special to impress" Vanessa looked at him and smiled "She must be a pretty special girl then"

"She is" Zac said before leaning in for a quick kiss. When they pulled away, Vanessa giggled as she spotted a speck of peanut butter in Zac's nose.

'What's funny?" he asked.

"Nothing" she said, causing her to giggle even louder.

"Alright, that's it," Zac pushed Vanessa down and got on top and started to tickle Vanessa. "Tell me what you are hiding" he demanded playfully.

She giggled wildly and couldn't find a breath for words. So instead of telling him, she took his face and pulled him down to her and kissed his nose, eating the large speck of peanut butter in the process.

After realizing what just happened Zac grinned at her and kissed her sweetly. Liking what was happening; Vanessa pulled him in more closer and deepening the kiss. Zac moaned and rolled over so that Vanessa was now straddling him. He ran his hands through her hair and moaned against the kiss.

After a moment of kissing, they both pulled away to catch their breaths and smiled at each other lovingly.

She traced his lips with her fingertips while smiling. "That was a good kiss"

"It was" Zac mumbled while stroking her hair. "But I know that you want to wait and I would wait for a long time till you are absolutely ready"

She kissed him deeply, truly grateful that she had finally found a guy that wants and understand her deeply.

….

After they finished their picnic, they fooled around a bit in the sand by running around and making sand castles. After spending the entire day outside, they decided to head back in the villa where Zac gladly carried Vanessa's tired body in his back while holding their belongings in his other hand.

"Zac" she whispered as he laid her down the bed.

"What is it?" he whispered back.

"Can we watch a movie?"

Zac smiled "Of course we can. Why don't you pick one out while I unpack our stuff from the picnic?"

"Alright" Zac was about to leave the door when Vanessa stopped him again. "Could I borrow a shirt that I could change into?"

He grinned. "Absolutely, what mine is your now" he said and smiling cheekily, while Vanessa rolled her eyes. "You mean you just want to check me out in your clothes"

He laughed playfully. "I'm always checking you out" he stated before leaving the room with a red face Vanessa.

After putting away the surfboard and the left overs fruits and dessert from the picnic in the fridge, he jogged back to the room to find Vanessa in his t-shirt which caused her to be even more attractive the she already is.

"Hey" he greeted her and wrapping his arms around her as he sat beside her. "What are we watching this afternoon my lady?"

She turned to him grinning mischievously "Hairspray" and Zac's eyes popped out of their sockets.

'NO!" he said panicking, while Vanessa was laughing at his reaction. "Baby, maybe we should watch another movie" he pleaded.

"No" she said stubbornly. "I told you I wanted to watch it and besides, you told me to pick out any movie I wanted"

Zac bowed his head down in defeat. 'Fine, but only if you promise to Not to make fun of me"

Vanessa cooed at him while rubbing their nose together "Don't worry, I won't since I love you" she said sweetly.

He smiled and cuddled together under the covers as the movie begins to play ' Maybe this wasn't going to be bad after all' he said to himself. And boy was he wrong.

….

He watches her in amazement as she grinned throughout the movie. He was amaze at how she never fails to surprise him.

Vanessa squealed once again, as Zac appeared in the screen singing and dancing. "Awe! Baby! You are such an amazing dancer and singer" she said once again while Zac's face turned crimson red yet again.

She hugged him tightly as she continued enjoying him dance and sing in front of her.

"I thought you were tired" he said looking down at her and stroking her hair, and not daring to watch his silly face in the screen.

"I was, but not anymore since I'm really enjoying this movie"

"Well we had a busy day. Why don't we take a nap before dinner?"

She looked up at him flashing her puppy dog eyes. "But I want to finish this"

"I don't think so baby. You need your rest" he said while Vanessa made no sign of surrender. He sighed as he watches himself sing "Ladies' Choice"

"You know you're my only choice" he whispered in her ear.

'If you're trying to distract me, it's not working"

"How about we turn off this movie and I'll sing you to sleep"

She looked up at him full of excitement. "Really?"

He nodded while tucking her in his arms. Clearing his throat loudly for effect, he opened his mouth and began to sing in a high pitchy voice:

"You are my sunshine my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know dear how much I love you please don't take my sunshine away"

Vanessa giggled wildly against his neck and slaps his chest playfully. "Zac stop. I rather watch and listen to Link instead." she said jokingly.

He looks down at her with a hurt expression. "Take that back"

She shook her head. "Nope, now sing me a song so I can fall asleep" she said giving her a puppy dog eyes.

Gathering her back in his arms, he became serious and lowered his head to her ear and sang…

She's got those eyes, those eyes that will see right through you

When she leaves then I …I want to leave with her too

And she's on my mind. Like all, all the time

When we touch I go weak, and I can hardly speak.

Vanessa closed her eyes and smile, her heart melting as he sang the song in a quiet and gentle sound in her ear.

And I hope that she thinks about me cause I'm always thinking of…

(Always thinking of her)

I just wanna hold her hand,

Be her man

I wanna know if she's take a chance

Cause I still have not revealed it,

Cause I still get the feeling

That loving her is a game

I'll always lose

I got the brown eyed blues

His soft velvet voice caused her eyes to become heavy and harder to stay awake. Finally she surrendered and fell asleep. But not letting go of the meaning of the choice of song he picked.

Is he trying to tell her something?

She sighed in her slumber. Whatever it is, she prays from the angels that are looking down at them that they will survive it, as the thought of her heart breaking again makes her sick.
