Hawaiian Healing:

Her eyes fluttered opened as the light hit her face, awakening her from her deep slumber. Looking over to the bedside table, she was surprise that it was already noon. She tried to get up, but failed as the arm that is drape over her body tightened its grip.

Looking up, she saw Zac peacefully sleeping and decided that it is best not to get up just yet to avoid disturbing Zac's slumber. She turned to him and manages to rest her head on top of his chest, hearing the steady beat of his heart.

She sighed happily, as she loves the feeling she gets when she is with him. Not to mention the fact her life is much easier from the past few days.

It has been exactly two week and half that they have been together. Ever since then, she is has been pampered with care and love from her Zac.

Her Zac she smiled at the thought of the feeling of belonging with each other. But like they say, good things come to an end.

Although she doesn't want to believe in the old saying, she knows that she can't escape from reality.

Not to mention, the fact that Zac has been acting pretty weird lately ever since the night he sang her that song. A song that she still doesn't understand by the meaning behind the words that he is delivering to her.

Is he trying to say goodbye soon? Although it does kind of make sense since he can't stay in this peaceful island forever. He has to go back to his family and work, and the thoughts saddened her deeply.

If he leaves, what will happen to her? To them?

She sighed. She knew it was too good to be true. But surely, they could make something work when the time comes. They have been more in love with each other more and more each day they spend time with each other.

She smiled again and thought of the wonderful times they had shared together, and as she recalls each thought, she drew imaginary hearts in Zac's stomach using her fingers.

The little motions he felt in his chest causes him to snap out of his slumber. He look around him, feeling disoriented for a moment, but it all stop when he saw his beautiful lady laying her head on top of his chest.

Opening his mouth to greet her, he stopped himself as she heard Vanessa sigh as she continued to draw …hearts on his stomach?

He squeezed his hold on Vanessa's hip, letting her know that he is awake. She bolted up and smiled at him sweetly and innocently.

"Good Morning" she said took a glance outside "More like Good Afternoon" she giggled.

He cupped her face in his hand and kissed her nose "What were you doing pretty girl?"

"Nothing" she said quickly.

He looks at her with an evil expression. "Be serious, what were you doing?"

She squealed as Zac pulled her even more, and nestling his head in her neck, his breath tickling her. "I was just drawing"

He smirked. "Drawing what?"

She tried to pull away, but only found herself pinned down the bed with Zac on top of her. 'Tell me or the tickle monster will attack you"

She giggled with her hands covering her mouth. "Hearts"

He smiled as he rested his head back in the crook of her neck. "Drawing where? ``

``Why do you want to know?" She said whined slightly.

"Because I just want you to say it "

"In your stomach" she whispered and as soon as she said it she was attacked by the tickle monster.

She squealed and squirmed as Zac tickled her. He paused and she tried to catch her breath and slapped his biceps as hard as she could.

"OW!" he said, giving her a joking hurt face 'Why did you do that for?"

"Because I told you what I was doing while you were sleeping" she whined

He grinned in triumph and got off her, pulling her up with him. He brushed the loose hair that is covering her face. "Now tell me what you were really doing? What were you thinking? "She gave him an 'I have no idea' look.

"Please baby" he said in a tone that makes your knees weak. "I know something is up "

She sighed and looks away. "I was just thinking that's all"

He took her face in his hands forcing her to look at him. "About what? You know you can tell me anything"

"What will happen to us when you leave?" she whispered, scared.

He kissed her passionately, "When that time comes, we will work something out. But I promise to you that I will never leave you." He rested his forehead against hers "I don't know what I would do without you." he whispered.

She closed her eyes as she began to smile in comfort. "Promise?"

"I promise with all my heart. You're part of my life now and my number one priority"

She nodded and hugged him tightly. "I love you"

"As I love you" he said, resting his head on top of hers.

After cuddling and kissing each other, showing each other affection, they had finally gotten out of bed and doing their daily routines.

"I'm going to shower. Want to join me?" he said wiggling his eyebrows jokingly. She slapped his arms playfully, while she is doing THEIR bed.

Although they wanted to go slow, they couldn't resist sleeping in the same bed cuddling together and loving the feeling of waking up in each other's arms.

They have been spending their time together all day, bonding, making their love for each other stronger each day.

She shook her head. "Go take that shower, while I go make our breakfast"

"Yes Mom" he said and dash to the spacious bathroom as Vanessa gave him the evil glare.

She giggled and made her way to the kitchen while singing quietly.

…..

"Baby, this is delicious!" he said, praising her work.

She giggled and kissed his cheek. "Why, thank you. But baby, you better slow down or you'll choke"

He grinned at her. "How did I manage to catch someone like you?"

She shrugs her shoulders. "Guess we have our lucky stars to thank for everything, huh?"

"You got that right" he said before planting a big kiss on her lips. "What is your agenda for the day?"

She sighed. "Well, after I do the dishes, I'm going to take a quick shower and study"

He groaned. "Boring"

She laughed. "Trust me, I don't like it either, but we have to come back to reality"

He finished his meal while studying her face. He knew that there is still something in her mind that she is not letting out.

"I'll do the dishes for you, while you go and take a shower" he said softly. She shook her head. "No, it's fine. It's my job anyway" she said, getting up.

He took the dishes from her hands and places it in the sink. "It used to be your job. Not anymore. That's what I'm here for, now go take your cute butt upstairs and take a shower."

She sighed. "Thank you baby"

He smiled and shake his head as she watch him dash to the bathroom in-suite.

…..

She moaned once again and drops her head in the pile of open books. She was sitting cross legged in the floor of the living room, with the books in the coffee table, while Zac is lying in the couch reading his scripts.

After a minute, she moaned frustratingly again. Zac look over and raised his eyebrows. "If you keep moaning like that, I don't have any choice and take you to the bedroom" he said jokingly.

She turns his head toward him and hit him with her books. "It's not funny"

He chuckled as he sat up and wraps his arms around her and carried her up, so that she is now sitting in his lap. Zac brushed the hair that is covering her face.

"You know I was just joking, right?" he said.

Although their relationship has grown each day, they decided to take it slow when it comes to being sexual. But with each day, they are becoming more tempted, but Zac knows that if the time where they both agree to do it, he'll make it extra special.

"I know, I'm just tired of studying" she whined 'It's so boring"

He chuckled and bought her in a tight embrace. "Mmmm, you're so silly"

She giggled as she turned her body to face him and wrap her arms around his neck. He look at her adoringly 'Do you want to go to the park and have a picnic?"

She nodded excitedly but pouted. "But I have to study"

"You can study in the park; you need to study in a new environment, so you can focus more."

'You're right. How did I manage to find a handsome, caring AND smart guy? `

He laughed "Silly girl, you deserved it" she kissed him passionately and went to the kitchen to prepare some sandwiches, with Zac behind her.

"So what would you like to eat in our picnic?"

Zac shrugged. "Anything you make is delicious either way."

She smiled at him lovingly "Thanks" she blushed "I'll go make us some chicken sandwiches, then."

He nodded and rested his head in her shoulder as Vanessa makes the sandwiches. He looks at her amazed at the simple things she do with ease. Nuzzling his face deep in her and loving the smell of her strawberry shampoo, he was truly in paradise.

She threw her head back and giggled, as his breath tickled her skin. 'If you keep that up, I don't think we will be able to get out of the house in time if I don't get this done."

He grinned "You're my prisoner now, you're not going anywhere"

She turned around and wraps her arms around his neck and pulled him in. "I'll be your prisoner forever,"

They leaned closer to each other causing their foreheads to touch. There they share a passionate kiss expressing their love to each other….

"Mmmmmmm" Zac hummed as he takes a strand of Vanessa's hair and twisting it in his fingers, enjoying the soft feel of her hair.

'Zac stop" Vanessa whined. "Your humming is distracting me from studying"

"But I'm bored" Zac complained in a little boy voice making Vanessa laugh.

They are currently lying in a blanket that is laid out under a huge tree in a small public park near Zac's villa.

Vanessa got up and prop herself in her elbows. "Aren't you busy memorizing your scripts?"

He pouted slightly. "But I already memorize all my lines"

She smiled but It faded after a second which Zac noticed "What's wrong baby?" he said, also getting up from his laying position to comfort Vanessa.

She sighed "I don't know I'm just curious. "

"Curious about what?"

"Do you think your family will like us being together?"

He smiled and stroked her hair. "Well, Dylan has already met you and he like you, I bet they my other brother will too. As for my parents, I'm positive my mom will like you since she wants me to be happy. As for my dad, I'm not too sure. But I don't care what they think. I love you and will only want you" he said and kisses her passionately.

Her stomach was filled with butterflies as she listened to Zac. She happily returns the kiss by wrapping her arms around his neck.

When they finally pulled away, they both look at each other's eyes deeply.

"You know you're the best, right?" Vanessa said.

He chuckled and hugs her tighter. "You're amazing. I can't wait for you to meet my family. But as for now i want to be selfish, have you for myself only.

She giggled. "Mr. greedy" she teased.

"You better take that back" he warned, with a fake serious tone.

"Never" she said before getting up to run away and Zac automatically ran after her, enjoying the moment….

But what both don't know is the path ahead of them will test their relationship….

happy Zanessa day! 333
