Chapter 36 Trapped

"I told you coming to Singapore was a great idea". Zhavia closed her eyes as she enjoyed the soothing massage. She really needed this, she needed to get away from the world. She thought that going to Los Angeles was going to help her relax and ease her mind at least but something else happened. Something that hadn't happened in a long time. Something that she thought she had gotten over. She thought she had gotten rid of her emotions and trained her heart to never accept love but no, he filled her thoughts. He trapped her mind. He made her yearn for him without even trying hard, and made her feel helpless and vulnerable when she was around him. Every single time she closed her eyes, images of the last time they met filled her thoughts.

Fuck! He's so hot.

What is wrong with you zhavia?

She raised her hands as she gestured for the masseuse to stop. She stood up and picked up the robe hung just by the corner of the room as they helped her with the robe.

Sofia's head was still bent down as she talked to herself thinking that zhavia was paying attention to her. Zhavia walked out of the room as she went to the balcony, taking a sip of the red wine she picked up by the side table close to the massage bed.

She remembered the last words Nicholas said to her as her heart thudded heavily underneath her chest.

'I want you, zhavia McKay'. 

She shook her head and for the first in a long time lips lifted to the thoughts of those words. She shook the wine slowly as she took another sip, emptying the glass. 

She breathed in the cool breeze letting go completely. She hadn't felt this way in a long time and it felt so good. She wondered why of all people, her heart choose him. Her heart pounded for him non-stop just by the thought of him.

What have you done to me, Nicholas?

Shit! Why do I feel this way?

Get the fuck out of my head!

She felt hot as she walked back into the room, moving swiftly as she spoke fiercely.

"Leave us". Sofia raised her head realizing that she had been talking to herself all those while. She picked up her robe as she covered herself.

"Is something wrong, miss zhavia?" She spoke as she walked to zhavia. She felt uneasy when zhavia told her to recommend a country for vacation. The zhavia McKay she knows will never speak so casually to her. For the first time in her life, she felt responsible for zhavia.

She knew that zhavia liked her and she understood that she is the only person zhavia trusted the most but doesn't let her close because she didn't want anyone close to her. She completely shut off the world when she was shattered.

"Let's shop". Sofia's eyes widened at those words. Excitement filled her eyes as she tried to control himself. 

"Y-you want us to shop t-together?" Left brows rose to those words as she sat down and crossed her legs.

Somehow she felt so good that day. She was in a good mood. If he can make her feel this way in just their second meeting, what will happen if she saw him again?

Keep it together zhavia.
