Vanessa was laying in her bed unable to sleep. Mesut's words were stuck into her head. She couldn't believe that she had kissed him in the hotel. What if she had done more than just that ? It was possible that she had said also things. Things that she preferred to keep to herself. She exhaled deeply, goddamning the exact time of their cars' crushing. Vanessa stared at the side of the bed that it was empty. What if Mesut was laying beside her ? What if she was able to see his face every morning ? What if......? She closed her eyes. What was she thinking ? Was she completely out of her mind ? Mesut's place wasn't for sure in her bed.
Yeah, but she couldn't deny that she would like his place to be there.
Her phone ringing interrupted her thoughts. Vanessa thought that Mesut was the one calling and was about to ignore the call. Checking her phone, she realized that her mother was the one calling. She ignored the call anyway, cause she didn't have the energy to respond to whatever her mother was going to say.

Her high heels had hurt her legs although she was mainly sitted at the studio watching as the scenes were filmed. Vanessa was satisfied by her cast for the second time in two days. She thought that maybe this trip to Berlin had helped her cast. Then she remembered that her cast was the only one benefited by this. She felt embarrassed in the thought of her kissing Mesut. What had he thought of her in that moment ? And why did he let it happen ? He wanted that too, didn't he ?
- Cut!
Noah screamed. He then congratulated the cast causing Vanessa to smile. She checked her watch. Time was up but they had almost finish. Almost. They had a last scene to film and they were done.
Vanessa saw as Noah gave the last instructions for the scene.
- Three, two, one, action!
He screamed again.
Vanessa watched as her cast was portraying their roles really successfully. She started thinking positive again, thinking that maybe that one movie of hers would also be great. She couldn't help but smile in the thought. Her career had always been the most important part in her life. She always thought that a happy life was based in a successful career. And that was what she was thinking all along, but then, she came back in London.

- See you tomorrow.
Vanessa said smiling. Her cast had left the studio singing happily. They wete going to celebrate somewhere out. Vanessa didn't feel like joining them, unfortunately neither did Noah. A few people were still in the studio. The night was dark outside. At least it wasn't raining. Vanessa wore her coat and took her purse. Perhaps she was going to visit her mother. She hadn't even called her back after ignoring her call yesterday.
- Leaving ?
Noah asked from behind her.
Vanessa turned to face him. He was way closer than Vanessa liked.
- Yes.
She just responded.
- Do you need me to drive you anywhere ?
Vanessa pointed at the keys of her car.
- No, thank you.
- Are you going home ?
Vanessa rolled her eyes.
- Yes.
- Won't you see your boyfriend today ?
- I already told you that he's not my boyfriend.
- But he's the one coming to your mind when you hear the word boyfriend.
Vanessa opened her mouth to defend herself but regretted it. Why keep trying to prove herself to Noah ? She didn't even like him.
- Good night Noah.
Vanessa made her way outside of the studio. It was way too cold and she started shaking.
She was heading towards her car. Nobody was in sight and Vanessa started feeling weird. She was counting her steps not to think of how silent the night was. Her heart started beating faster when hearing footsteps behind her. She tried to convince herself that she was just imagining it but it was like someone was running after her.
Vanessa tried to walk faster but her shoes were hurting her and whoever was after her had came really close. She felt hands pushing her against a wall of what seemed like an abandoned house. Vanessa recognized Noah's face who was staring angrily at her.
He chuckled.
- Vanessa.......
- Noah, what are you doing ? You scared me.
Vanessa said trying to free her hands from his grip but Mesut pushed her hardly against the wall causing her to bang her head.
- You're so pretty Vanessa.
Noah said ignoring her previous words.
Vanessa swallowed hard. Noah's body was against hers.
- I......I need to go home.
She said trying to kick him but Noah understood it and prevented her from doing so.
- Why are you so hasty ? Is someone expecting you at home ?
Vanessa tried to start breathing normally again.
- No.
- Maybe that guy ? That footballer ? Why are you falling for footballers Vanessa ? They just kick a ball.
Noah whispered in her neck. He moved his hand to her thigh. Vanessa was glad she was wearing her jeans.
- I really need to go.
She said again with a shaky voice.
- I don't think so Vanessa.
- Why are you doing this ?
- Cause you were a really bad girl. Why the hell have you rejected me like that previously and all these times in general ? Do you think that you deserve someone that's better than me ? You're just a slut Vanessa.
- Leave me, or I'm going to scream.
- Nobody's going to hear you.
Vanessa kicked him hard enough for him to get mad and grab her hair pushing her to the ground.
She thought that Noah was going to kick her while her being on the ground. She closed her eyes, giving up her trying to get rid of him.
Noah screamed as someone punched him hard enough to make his nose and lips bleed. He laid in the ground himself as the person came close to her.
- Vanessa are you okay ? Did he hurt you ?
She was unable to speak as she recognized him. It was him. Of course it was him. It was always him.
Mesut touched her face.
- Vanessa talk to me.
- I'm good.
Vanessa started crying while Mesut pulled her to his hug.
- It's over now.
He kissed her forehead trying to comfort her but Vanessa continue crying.
Mesut helped her stand on her feet.
- Mesut!
Vanessa screamed. Mesut wasn't able to avoid Noah. He punched him making his lip bleed.
Mesut manage to hit him harder though making him lay again in the ground.
He took Vanessa's hand leading her to his car.
Being both at the car, he started the engine while he could taste the blood in his lip.

Mesut opened Vanessa's house door. She was still unable to speak or even to think straight. She was shocked. Mesut didn't know what he had done to her, something terrible he guessed. When he arrived, Vanessa was laying in the ground. Mesut would have killed him if he wasn't Vanessa he was worried about.
Mesut closed the door behind them. Vanessa turned to face him. She burst out crying again. Mesut pulled her into his hug.
- Vanessa, it's over now okay ? It's over. I swear I'll kill him. What did he do to you ?
Vanessa didn't respond. She continued crying.
- Vanessa tell me, what has he done ?
- He......he.......hurt you. Your lips are bleeding.
- Don't care about that.
Mesut placed her hands in her face in an attempt to calm her down. Her make up was ruined but Mesut was still considering her beautiful.
- Thank you.
Vanessa tried to wipe her tears away while her hands were shaking.
- I can't believe he dared to touch you.
- Why you were there ?
She asked her voice still shaking.
- I came because I needed to talk to you about earlier. I went in the studio but you weren't there and then I was heading back and I saw you and..........
Mesut remembered the way Vanessa was laying in the ground. He was going to kill that bastard. He had no right to touch her. In any way but surely not in that way too.
- Your lips, they're bleeding.........
- It's not important Vanessa.
- I'm sorry you got in all this trouble for me.
She whispered.
- Don't ever say that again.
Mesut pressed his forehead in hers.
Vanessa looked at him. At his eyes, at his bleeding lips.
- You said that everytime you see me you want to kiss me.
- It's not the right time for this.
- Why ? You don't mean it anymore ?
Mesut stared at her eyes.
- I mean it. I always mean what I say. It's not about me now though, it's you. What do you want me to do Vanessa ? What do you need ?
Vanessa was still staring at him.
- I.....I would like to taste blood. Your blood.
Vanessa placed her lips to his. Mesut kissed her back passionately, deepening the kiss. Vanessa's fingers were running through his hair.
When they pulled away they were both breathless. Vanessa kissed him a couple of times again. Mesut hold her in his arms for a while. Vanessa placed her head in his chest. She was feeling better now. She was still shocked but she was relaxed. Mesut was her own hero. She was so thankful that he came in that moment. Who knows what was Noah going to do.
She was glad Mesut was in her life. Vanessa smiled in the thought of her being in his arms. As if he felt it Mesut whispered to her:
- Are you better now ?
She nodded.
- Thank you for everything.
Mesut made her look at him.
- What did he do to you Vanessa ?
Vanessa pulled her shirt a little up revealing her skin that was bruised. It must had happened when Noah pushed her to the ground. Mesut touched her bruised waist.
- I'll kill him Vanessa. I swear I'm going to kill him.
- It's not painful. It's not even that bad.
- How can you say that ?
Mesut took her face in his hands once again. He placed a small kiss in her lips again. He then kissed her knuckles. Vanessa smiled at him.
- I want you to do something.
She whispered.
- Will do. Whatever this is.
He replied.
Vanessa paused. She stared at his eyes.
- Stay here the night.
