Vanessa raised an eyebrow at Mesut. She had totally turned mad after Mesut being able to portray the role as if he was an actor. Mesut smirked seeing the expression on her face. It was obvious he had won. Noah was amazed at his skills and forgot all the revenge thing he was thinking about previously. Vanessa felt uneasy. She didn't like losing and it was obvious that she had lost this time.
- Okay, it's time for the kiss.
Noah screamed and Vanessa rolled her eyes. In this scene Mesut had to kiss the girl. Mesut looked at Vanessa raising his eyebrows and Vanessa looked away in order to avoid his gaze. Mesut argered her and that was no good since she knew that whoever makes you angry, it means that controlls you and Vanessa didn't like to be controlled at all. She had regretted the fact that she chose him to portray this role.
- Three, two, one action.......
Noah screamed and after a short dialogue between them, Mesut leaned to kiss the girl from the cast. The girl started laughing, probably because feeling uneasy herself that she was about to be kissed by a sexy footballer. Vanessa rolled her eyes but she said nothing.
- Okay, Leslie we need to finish with this scene, stay focus. Three, two, one action.......
Noah repeated again but Leslie burst out laughing once more.
Vanessa started tapping her fingers in the chair she was sitting at. She didn't like it when her actors were behaving so unprofessional where there was really any need of it.
They tried to film the scene again but Leslie couldn't make it.
- Okay, take a five minutes break.
Noah recommented. Mesut and Vanessa exchanged a look. Both of them were angry with one another.
Vanessa made her way towards him with her anger being obvious.
- You did well, mr. Ozil. Congratulations.
- Thank you mrs. Taylor. Never, ever underestimate me again.
He said placing his hand to her chin. Vanessa took a step back.
- You make Leslie feel uneasy. Be more professional.
She just said turning to leave.
- Don't worry, she'll forget it when kissing me.
He said making Vanessa turn to face him once more.
- Good, make that happen.
- Will do, mrs. Taylor and then you'll goddamn her for having the opportunity to kiss me.
Vanessa opened her mouth to say something, but closed it after a while. She made her way to her chair being even more mad at him now.
Who does he think he's ?
She thought to herself.
But then another part of herself thought:
A really hot footballer.
She tried to stop thinking like that.
- We're ready now. Leslie, the scene's not funny. Now, three, two, one, action......!
Noah screamed again.
Leslie said her lines and so did Mesut. It was time for the kiss now. Vanessa looked at them. Her eyes were focused on Mesut. On Mesut's lips specifically.
- You'll goddamn her for having the chance to kiss me.
His words made her stood from her chair amd scream:
- Cut!
Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy.
- I didn't laugh.
Leslie explained looking at her. Mesut smirked at Vanessa's reaction realizing that his words must have had some kind of effect on her.
- What are you doing Vanessa ?
Noah whispered, while coming close to her. Vanessa ignored him. She made her way to Leslie and Mesut.
- Well, Leslie you weren't persuasive.
She explained but her voice was shaky.
- Excuse me Vanessa but I have been an actress my whole life. These scenes are easy for me.
- Well, it didn't seem like that to me.
Vanessa explained again avoiding to look at Mesut. She knew she was saying bullshit. She knew that Leslie had portrayed her role really good. She couldn't understand why though. Why had she felt the urge to stop the scene between them, before them kissing.
Mesut chuckled. He knew himself that Vanessa's sayings had no truth in them.
- Okay, so how would you do it ?
Leslie asked Vanessa while raising an eyebrow.
Vanessa felt sick.
- How would I do what ?
- How would you act in this scene ? Show me.
Leslie insisted. Vanessa started loosing her temper now.
- Well, I......
- Show me, Vanessa, it's not a big deal. Show me how to do it to finish with this scene.
Leslie complained and Vanessa felt all the eyes on her. She panicked for a moment but then she looked at all of them.
- Fine. Watch.
She said and Leslie made her way towards Noah.
- Three, two, one, action............
He screamed. Vanessa looked Mesut in the eyes. She didn't intend to, but couldn't do otherwise. Her thoughts were coming down to how beautiful his eyes were. They had something exotic, something that Vanessa couldn't define.
She didn't know how she was able to say her lines. Mesut said his as well. Then he slowly leaned to kiss her. Vanessa's gaze was focus on his lips.
- You're really unpredictable Vanessa. I like that.
Mesut whispered. Vanessa couldn't catch her breath. She felt thrilled only knowing that Mesut was about to kiss her. She was silently praying for him to do so. Mesut opened his mouth to capture hers and it was then that Noah screamed:
- Cut!
Vanessa started breathing as if she had been running.
The thought of Mesut kissing her was now in her mind.
She wanted to curse Noah for not letting Mesut do so.
- What was wrong this time ?
Vanessa asked sounded annoyed.
- He said lines that he wasn't supposed to say.
Noah explained and Vanessa understood that he was referring to what Mesut had whispered to her.
- Okay, fine, this scene's cancelled.
Vanessa screamed.
- Excuse me ?
Noah asked.
- I don't want it in my movie. It's pointless.
She justified herself.
- But, we've worked on it.
- I don't care. I said, I don't want it in my movie so it won't be in it.
Vanessa said again.
Everyone started whispering to one another and Vanessa closed her eyes for a moment trying to think carefully.
- You lost a big opportunity mrs. Taylor.
Mesut whispered in her ear. Vanessa opened her eyes and turned to face him. She couldn't do otherwise but stare at his lips. The lips she wanted to taste. The lips she wanted to kiss her.....all over her body.
She tried to stop thinking at it.
- No, you did. Thank you for all your......
Vanessa started saying but the way he was looking at her made her forget what she wanted to say.
- For all my ?
- Help. Help in my movie. I hope I never see you again.
She said and she really meant that. She didn't like the fact that she was thinking the way she did about him. She had no right to think like that. Yes, she couldn't deny that he was hot. He was definitely hot. But she barely knew him. What if he had a girlfriend ? What if he was heartless like Julian ? And most importantly: Had she already forgotten that he was a teammate of her ex ?
- You really do hope that ?
He asked. Vanessa could see his disappointment.
- Yes. Kind of.
She responded.
- Good. If that's what you want.
He responded. He turned to leave. Vanessa bit her lip.
- It's better. For both of us.
She said faking a smile.
- I agree. If you need anything though you can call me.
He said. Vanessa thought he was making fun of her.
- I won't. Don't worry. You're useless to me.

Vanessa was now showering. The hot water was cascading her body as she was lost in her thoughts. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her. She hadn't paid much attention to Mesut seeing him for the first time. He wasn't the type of girl feeling thrilled by a man she just met and she indeed didn't feel thrilled about Mesut. No. At least not until today. She couldn't stop thinking of their almost kiss. She would be lying to herself if saying that she didn't want him to kiss her. It was the only thing she was thinking about the last few hours. How she had been lost to his eyes, how he had leaned to kiss her.
If only he had done that.
She thought to herself.
Vanessa couldn't understand why she felt the way she did. He was a good looking man but she had no right to make these kind of thoughts. She didn't even know him. She felt angry with herself. Why did he have such an effect on her ? He was just a handsome man. Julian was also a handsome man but Vanessa didn't feel that way when they were to kiss for the first time.
And then it was her thoughts that made her feel ashamed.
It would be perfect if these lips could kiss my entire body.
She had thought to herself.
She felt angry once more. No! She had came here to focus on her carreer. After what Julian did to her, she didn't want to get involved with anybody else.
She stepped out of her bathroom, wrapping a towel around her naked body. She went to her bedroom and just laid in her bed being exhausted physically and mentally from today. Her thoughts have been all day in the almost kiss she shared with Mesut. A part of her wanted never to see Mesut again. She couldn't understand what she was feeling and most importantly why she was feeling the way she did. She didn't even know him. She knew that she would have regretted it if the two of them had finally kissed. She knew that it was a mistake. She didn't used to kiss with any stranger she was meeting. Besides, she didn't want to get involved with anyone, that was more than just clear for her and specifically with a footballer and worst with one of Julian's teammates. What if he was like Julian after all ? All footballers were the same for her. All footballers could make her heart shatter into a million pieces. All footballers could just sleep with her and then act as if they have never seen her in their life. Another part of her though wished that Mesut had really kissed her.
