Written In The Stars | M. Ozil ( Sequel to Hotel Room Service) [completed]

Seventeen

Manuel and Vanessa were almost laughing hysterically. Manuel was constantly whispering things to her, making her giggle. Mesut was staring at them being totally mad. They hadn't even shut their mouths when the speeches had taken place. To Mesut's dissapointment Manuel had came to the event without a date and he probably was trying his shot with Vanessa since he heard that she was just Mesut's date for tonight.
Vanessa had ignored Mesut completely since Manuel came and sat beside her. He was a really funny guy and had gained Vanessa's full attention. Mesut had tried to join their conversation but they both ignored him. Mesut had thought that maybe Vanessa was doing it to get on his nerves but she seemed really interested in what Manuel was saying. Mesut had tried to ask her if she wanted to drink something else besides the champagne it was served but Vanessa interrupted him, looking serious at him:
- Not now Mesut.
He felt like a small child seeking for attention. He tried to ignore the way these two were flirting but couldn't help but notice that Manuel had placed his hand in Vanessa's knee and that she didn't seem to bother at all.
After a while Vanessa whispered something at Manuel and took her purse leaving the table.
Mesut grabbed her hand:
- Where are you going ?
Vanessa raised her eyebrows at him.
- Restroom.
She responded.
- I need to refresh my make up.
She explained winking at Manuel. Manuel winked back at her. Mesut was out of control now. He couldn't accept that Vanessa was ignoring him like that.
Vanessa headed to the bathroom.
- She's amazing, isn't she ?
Manuel asked Mesut.
- No, she's acting like a spoiled little girl.
Mesut replied repeating Vanessa's words.
- You're exaggerating. I haven't seen any of her movies though. Don't tell her that.
- Yeah, I won't.
- I'm thinking of asking her out sometime. Do you know how long she'll stay here ?
Mesut was now furious. He made his way to the bathroom too, to find Vanessa.
He found her, exiting the bathroom and made his way fastly at her. He grabbed her hand immediately leading her to a hall that was empty.
- What the hell do you think you're doing ?
He asked her.
- Excuse me ? Are you completely out of your mind ?
Mesut left her hand. Vanessa was looking at him as if he was crazy.
- Vanessa, do you fucking remember that this is a fundraising event and that you're supposed to be my date ?
Vanessa burst out laughing, making Mesut even more furious.
Mesut punched the wall next to Vanessa's head and she stopped laughing.
- You're really pissed off.
She commented having finally understood how mad Mesut was.
- Why are you flirting with Manuel ?
- Why do you care ?
- You're supposed to be my date tonight.
- Exactly, your date tonight. You said that to your teammates and since I'm just your date tonight I can flirt with whoever I like.
Mesut run his finger through his hair in frustration.
- Manuel plans to ask you out.
He confessed.
Vanessa's eyes lit up.
- Really ?
She asked smiling.
- Yes, really he also said that he doesn't like any of your movies.
- What ?
- It's true Vanessa. I'm so sorry he doesn't appreciate any of your work.
Mesut said smirking. He didn't even feel sorry, knowing that Vanessa felt bad.
- Well, it's okay. I have to discuss that with him though.
- I can't believe that you haven't even said anything when he placed his hand to your knee.
- You noticed that ?
She asked surprised.
- I'm sure everyone noticed.
He commented sarcastically.
- Everyone didn't notice, since everyone didn't care.
- I don't either, if that's what you're implying.
Mesut said being frustrated once again.
- You're jealous.
- I'm not.
- You're jealous, yes, you're.
She made a step closer to him, placing her hands all over his neck.
- You have completely misunderstood what I was trying to say.
His voice was shaky as Vanessa leaned to kiss him. Before their lips managed to touch a voice interrupted them:
- Vanessa ?
Vanessa turned to face the man hoping that she was mistaken but she knew she has recognized the voice.
- Julian ?
Her jaw dropped open.
Julian looked firstly at her and then at Mesut.
- Am I interrupting something ?
He asked feeling awkward himself.
Vanessa didn't turn to face Mesut knowing that it would be even more awkward.
Why had she tried to kiss him ?
And why had Julian to come a moment like this ?
- No, Vanessa's just my date for tonight.
Mesut said once again. Vanessa looked angrily at him. She was bored of the same explanation again and again.
- Julian, I was searching for........oh Vanessa, hi, you look great.
Lila appeared in front of them, feeling awkward seeing Vanessa there.
- I'm leaving.
Vanessa said trying to be calm. That wasn't what she was prepared for. She had even forgotten that Julian was supposed to be there.
She headed back to the table not looking back. She hadn't understood that she was mad. And she was. She hadn't feelings for him anymore, she figured.
She sat again next to Manuel who put his hand again in her knee. Vanessa stared angrily at him. Manuel backed of when seeing the look on her face. It was obvious that she wasn't in the mood anymore.

After the meal was served, Mesut and some of his teammates sat in a different table. Vanessa remained seated where she was with some of the other wifes and girlfriends. Bea was sitted beside her. The two of them had started chatting. Vanessa knew that Mesut was checking on her worried. She smiled at him, trying to tell him, she was okay but that must haven't convinced him. He came beside her, placing his hands in her shoulders.
He greeted Bea with a friendly nod and whispered at Vanessa:
- We can leave now, if you want. I'm bored myself.
Vanessa looked at him.
- Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
- Are you sure ?
- Yes.
- Julian left. I just let you know. He was worried about you too. He was just surprised that you were here.
Vanessa nodded. She really didn't care.
- I'm fine.
She repeated once again.
Some of the people had started dancing to a slow song. Mesut took Vanessa's hand.
- Let's dance.
- I don't dance.
- I was sure you were going to say this.
He said and grabbed her hand making her follow him.
Much to Vanessa's dissapointment the dance floor was packed. Mesut placed his hands on her waist. He looked at her in the eyes. While dancing, he knew that this was his chance to tell her how he felt.
- My shoes are hurting me.
Vanessa complained.
- You look pretty anyway.
- I said that my shoes are hurting me, what does that I'm pretty has to do with it ?
She asked raising her eyebrows.
- Vanessa, I want to tell you something.
She now looked at him with expectation.
- Yes ?
- I want you to know something and I intended to tell you earlier but I just didn't have the opportunity, but now.......
- Yes.......
- You know when Manuel started being all touchy with you, I freaked out and you were right. I was jealous and I was jealous because..........
- Can I interrupt you ?
Manuel asked causing Mesut to curse.
- Vanessa, do you want to dance with me ?
Vanessa looked at Mesut.
- Yes, but Mesut was telling me something........
- Forget it. Go ahead.
Mesut said leaving her.
Vanessa was about to complain but Manuel didn't give her much space to do so.

Mesut was struggling to open Vanessa's hotel room door. And he was struggling because he had to search for the key in her purse while she was singing and saying whatever she came into her mind. Mesut knew that he did a terrible mistake, leaving her with Bea. After Manuel and her had danced, Vanessa sat with Bea and they both had drunk like hell. Mesut decided to take Vanessa and leave since he had enough for one night.
- Okay, Vanessa please try to find the key in your purse.
- What do you want it for ?
She giggled.
- To open the door.
Mesut replied rolling his eyes. He shouldn't have let Vanessa drink like that. She couldn't understand him at all.
- I don't know where is it.
- You do. Please help me Vanessa.
- Which song goes like..........
- Vanessa, listen. I want you to be a good girl while I'm searching for the key because if we don't find it we can't get inside.
- It's okay we can go in your hotel.
She said giggling.
- No, you did enough show in the ceremony with Bea, don't you think ?
- I don't understand what you're saying.
- I wouldn't either if I had drunk like you did.
Mesut took her purse and searched for the key. Vanessa continued singing while some other people that stayed in near rooms had came to see what was going on. They looked at Vanessa with raised eyebrows but she waved at them:
- Hi, everyone.
She shouted. Mesut finally found the key and opened the door, leading her inside. He closed the door behind them, hoping that they hadn't caused much trouble. He wanted to kill Vanessa, for being so irresponsible. Why had she drunk like that ? Couldn't she control herself ? She was still singing loudly causing Mesut to curse.
He shut her mouth with his hand while holding her against the door, his body against hers.
- Stop it Vanessa, they're going to kick you out of the hotel.
- Good, then I could stay with you.
- You want to stay with me ?
He asked smirking. She was drunk and Mesut could ask her whatever he wanted. It was possible that she was going to speak the truth.
- Yes, I want to stay with you.
Vanessa grabbed his tie and pulled him closer to her.
- Vanessa, stop it. You're going to regret everything tomorrow.
- I won't.
- You will, cause you don't know what you're doing.
- I'm perfectly fine.
- Go to bed so I can leave and I'll come tomorrow.
- You're not going anywhere.
She stated while pressing her lips on his. She ran her fingers through his hair as he deepened the kiss touching her spine. Mesut knew that kissing her while she was drunk shouldn't be an option but just couldn't resist but kiss her back when she did.
Mesut pulled away knowing that it was a mistake.
- Vanessa,......
But Vanessa didn't let him finish, kissing him once more.
