After being casted to the sea, thrown off the cruise ship she was on by her own boyfriend, what Zeda thought was her biggest problem turns out to be only the beginning. She's rescued by a foreign man, Lucas, & his two friends Johnny & Winwin. Togeth...
I tried to sleep but with my obvious anxieties about anything and everything ... that was very hard. But I knew it would be worth it.
I stared at my phone for hours, looking at Lucas's pictures. Even the ones with him and Biyu.
Holding the ring box in my hands, I knew he was still mine even after all this time, and I daydreamt about how he would look, seeing me walk in with his friends and how he would react to me showing up in China.

When it was finally over, I exited the plane feeling fatigued and drained. I walked with a slight stumble until I saw Johnny was waiting for me with Winwin at his side.
They greeted me with smiles, and when I saw them standing with a sign that said 'MISS ZEDA' I actually produced a genuine smile in return. The first I had in weeks.
I had been in such a dark place for so long, I was so ready for it to be lifted, and be happy.
I ran and hugged them both at the same time.
"Zeda! How are you? It's been so long." Winwin said with a chuckle.
"It's so good to see you." Johnny added.
"I missed you guys. Wow. It feels like so long." I shook my head, almost feeling dizzy with the rush of memories and I clutched my head as I stepped back.
"Jet lag?" Johnny asked, and I nodded with a laugh.
"Hell yes." I laughed.
"Don't worry. It won't be a terribly long drive and you can crash at my place. The party isn't until tomorrow night." Johnny assured me.
"Thank god." I sighed with relief. "I'm exhausted."
Johnny chuckled. "Well, you're a girl. I figured you'd want your beauty rest and plenty of time to get ready."
"Although you are already very beautiful." Winwin nudged my arm and I blushed.
They walked me to their car, and we went back to Johnny's house.
On the way Winwin was telling me about Hua, but I was so out of it I barely picked up anything. I made sure to apologize and told him we'd talk more later after I felt sane again. I paid little attention to detail of the things outside the window I was leaning against, being half asleep in the backseat. But I could tell Johnny's house was large and looked very high class.
He was first bringing me to the living room to crash on the couch, but he stopped and seemed to have to think for a minute.
"Actually, Winwin and I are gonna be hanging out tonight, it's still very early in the day. Are you okay with going to my room? Or the guest room so we don't bother you?"
