"If that's what you want so be it!" Stella cut the call after saying that.
She felt so stupid and numb that not even a single drop of tear fell from her eyes. Or maybe it's because she thought he was just joking or he will come back. She brushed her teeth after switching her phone off then straight to bed.
Sleeping is the only pill that can make her feel free from all those pain that too for straight 8 hours. Sleep is love.
"Zach really can't do that." Stella assured herself temporary just to help herself sleep a little at least. She was tired after such a busy and annoying day that soon she fell asleep. Zach is playing the guitar to keep himself distracted from all the thoughts that's trying to hunt him down as soon as he gives these thoughts a chance to do so.
He is sitting on sand by the beach and looking at the depth to the darkness. He got lost into the scene. The calming sound of the waves are giving him a peaceful situation.
"Just let Stella stay out of my head for as long as possible. I don't want any more headache please. I can't."
Everytime he remembers her he starts feeling guilty or angry now.
"You shouldn't have chose her." he said.
The night was cold and long. Zach just kept looking at the sky, lying in the beach. So many stars are blinking. Some are reddish, some bluish, most of them are white and some are yellow in color. Suddenly he saw a shooting star going to the left of his vision. In less than one second that vanished. It was the first time he saw a shooting star. He feels lucky.
People believe that you make a wish when a shooting star passes and that comes true. Zach doesn't believe all that.
Zach scoffs when a call came. He was enjoying the nature in his best and this ringtone broke all the peace all of a sudden.
"I can't talk to you right now Mady." Zach said trying his best to sound polite.
"Where are you Zach?" she asked.
"In a beach in California, why?"
"Surprise!!!" Madison shouted from behind of him. She came running and hugged him tight.
"Why... are you here Mady? How did you find me?" Zach asked irritated.
"Simple. I just tracked your call. But before that I heard from Mr Brandon that you were in California." Madison explained.
"So why exactly are you here?" Zach asked again.
"To meet my - love. Besides, California is a place which I wanted to visit someday so I thought let that day be today." Madison explained while she followed Zach who was walking into the sea.
"Damn it's so cold!" Madison shivers and says.
Zach is walking silently by the edge of the beach where cold waves are coming to an end and it feels like the waves are calling him to go with them. As if they are talking to Zach. Telling that they will play a game where both of them will show each other their deepest & darkest secrets.
Zach started walking straight to the sea until his waist has already get drowned Andrew Madison stopped him. He walked like he was just hypnotized.
"Are you insane!?" Madison shouted. Zach came to sense and said nothing. He just started going to the sand.
"Why did you come this far from the beach at night Zach!? What if something bad happened?"
Zach just walks and keeps silence.
"I'm talking to you Zach." Madison went in front of him and crossed her hands over her chest.
Zach suddenly became numb. He was just gonna go to the resort and sleep as much as he could but he has a girl with him so he needs to be responsible for her safety. He finally asked, "I'm gonna go sleep. You coming?"
"Yes of course. What do you want me to do? Stay here all alone?" she scoffed. Zach went inside the bushes and she followed him with so much difficulty. It was so dark and those coconut tress were so tall like monsters. She felt scared and looked behind while walking for no reason at all.
"Ahhhh!" she screamed in as she thought she just crushed with a ghost.
"At least look where you are going Mady." Zach said that without any emotion in his voice. It felt like a dead man spoke to Madison.
"Did you have your dinner?" Madison asked.
"No, are you hungry?" Zach asked. He never stopped being a gentleman even when he's in the worst mood right now.
"Yes, I wanna eat." she said it in a cute tone.
"Come with me." Zach took her hand and Madison followed him to a beautiful dining hall. It was really beautiful.
"What the....??? fairies must be real." she said and saw Zach was looking at her like he wants an explanation. The hall was big enough and really beautiful indeed. So many candles are lit up on the sideways and each table has its own candle. Some beautiful statues are kept in some shelves saying 'do not touch' as usual. Some chandelier are Also lit up and it has added more to this halls beauty. It is more like its a dining hall of a palace. So many flowers and most of them are blue, Madison's favorite colored.
"I mean this can't be just a work of human. It's...it's really beautiful and romantic. Aren't you gonna eat with me?" she asked.
Zach seemed to be confused between a yes or a no. Yes or No.
"We will have Prawn Fried rice, come on. It's your favorite isn't it?" she asked smiling at him.
"Yeah." he smiled back thinking about prawn fried rice. It has been his only favorite since he was a little child. His mum used to make it for him. And it used to be so tasty that he could eat it all day.
"Excuse me, Waiter!" Zach asked for a waiter but a cute waitress came and greeted him with a cute smile which made Madison a little jealous, she doesn't even know why she's jealous of the waitress. Maybe it's because Zach smiled at her back.
"2 plates of prawn fried rice. You want anything else??....Madison!?" Zach snapped his fingers in front of her as she was lost in something.
"I'll have a cocktail please." Madison said.
"And a sprite for me." Zach said.
"Anything from our dessert item, sir?" the waitress asked.
"Yeah I'll have butterscotch ice-cream if that is available." Zach smiled.
"That's available, sir." she smiled and left for preparing the order .
"Why were you smiling that much in front the waitress huh?"
Zach said, "Because it has the power to heal people." He said it without even looking at her. While looking at the menu he added, "Also because it can confuse people."
