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

Twenty nine

Vanessa was anxious about her and Mesut visiting her mother. She had thought quiet much that it wasn't actually a very good idea.
She was alone in that though. Mesut seemed really excited that he was going to meet her mother.
- Well, that's only because you don't know her.
Vanessa had told him.
- Oh, come on how bad can she be ?
He had asked.
And Vanessa knew that this was a cliche line they said in movies before things turned out really really bad.
Mesut didn't seem to care though and Vanessa had done her best to present her mother as the most awful woman ever.
- I've noticed before that you didn't talk about your family much.
Mesut had commented.
- You didn't talk a lot about yours either.
Vanessa had accused him.
- Well, I guess that nobody had brought up the subject.
Mesut had confessed.
- You know that my family's weird. You had already met my brother but my parents are divorced and they actually don't get along with each other, it's not that they fight when they're together but they're completely ignoring each other which is even more awful than fighting.
Vanessa had said again.
Mesut had kissed her forehead trying to comfort her.
- I bet your mother is quite a lady and I sure as hell want to meet your father.
Vanessa chuckled.
- You seriously don't want that. My father's going to look at you disgusted knowing that you had slept with me.
- Tell me that he was one of the fathers that never approved their daughters' relations.
- He's something like that.
Vanessa had responded.
She knew that for the most part she was just exaggerating but she wanted Mesut to be prepared for the worst of her mother's.

All the way to her mother's house they had both remained silent. Mesut kept checking at her but Vanessa was just staring outside her window.
They had arrived a little earlier and made their way to her house still in silence.
Vanessa was the first one to speak before they rang the doorbell.
- We can leave anytime. Remember that.
Mesut laughed.
- I think that you should remember that.
He snapped back and a smile formed in Vanessa's lips.
- That's so sweet, thank you.
She said leaning to kiss him but at the same time the door opened with Vanessa's mother standing there smiling at them.
- I've heard you coming.
She explained.
Vanessa cought and then started the introductions.
- Mom, this is Mesut. And Mesut this is my mother, Zoe.
- It's a pleasure to meet you mrs. Robinson.
Mesut said kissing her hand making Vanessa to make a face.
- I'm so glad to meet you too. What a gentleman!
Her mother said looking at Vanessa impressed.
Vanessa looked at both of them as if they were crazy or worse as if they had agreed to behave good with one another for her.
Her mother was the first one to step in the house.
Mesut took Vanessa's arm and whispered at her:
- Your mother's really good.
Then he placed a kiss in her cheek making Vanessa relax for the rest of the night.

Vanessa's mother and Mesut had a really good talk laughing almost all the time. Vanessa was smiling suspiciously at both of them thinking that they were having fun on purpose.
Like could that happen ?
Mesut complemented her mother a lot and Zoe had been responding to every single one of his compliments.
- You know Vanessa wants me out of her life, I've learned about you from magazines. Can you believe it ? I learn about my daughter from magazines.
Zoe said making Vanessa to roll her eyes.
Mesut gave a look at Vanessa and she smiled back at him.
- Well, things between us were not always clear.
Mesut explained.
- Yes, I thought of that. How did you two met ?
Zoe asked.
Vanessa was ready to answer but Mesut interrupted her.
- We had a car accident.
Zoe looked at Vanessa with her eyes wide open.
- What do you mean you had a car accident ?
Vanessa kicked Mesut under the table.
- I....I had a car accident and Vanessa was there when that happened and........she helped.
Zoe looked at both of them in disbelief but decided not to say anything.
- I'm glad it wasn't a serious accident.
She just said looking mostly at Vanessa.
Vanessa looked on her plate avoiding her mother's gaze. Zoe and Mesut had started talking again but Vanessa didn't really joined their conversation. She didn't trust herself to say anything and she was soon bored. Mesut looked at her smiling probably because he had just said something about her.
Vanessa touched his leg with hers while smirking. Mesut gave her a serious look in an attempt to stop her but Vanessa just ignored it.
Mesut grabbed her leg under the table squeezing it. Vanessa didn't back off even in that wanting to take her revenge from the night of the event.

Laying in Vanessa's bed Mesut was playing with her hair while Vanessa was drawing with her finger in his chest.
- I think she liked you.
Vanessa responded being deep in her thoughts.
- Who ?
Vanessa looked at him with raised eyebrows.
- My mother, have you met anyone else these days ?
She asked.
- Sorry I was distracted.
He admitted placing a kiss in her forehead.
- Most of the times she had ignored my boyfriends.
Vanessa said again.
- She's nice Vanessa and she loves you.
- I know.
Mesut searched for her lips in the darkness of the room pulling her closer to him.
- I'm glad you let me meet your mother. I'm glad you let me be a part of your life. I'm glad I met you in the first place and I'm really glad Julian had destroyed your engagement.
- That's mean.
Vanessa whispered in his lips.
- I wouldn't have met you otherwise or got to have you.
Vanessa smiled.
- That's the sweetest thing you ever said to me.
Mesut kissed her gently knowing that Vanessa meant to him a lot more than he could ever be able to explain to someone.
He felt lucky that he had her and he was happy he actually did.
He was also trying his hardest to make her happy and to make her realize how much she meant to him.
For now he had what he wanted. A successful career, a beautiful girlfriend that wasn't cheating nor using him and he was happy.
He was pretty sure nothing could go wrong.
He wouldn't let anything go wrong.
- I still insist that I would like to meet your father.
He said out of the blue.
Vanessa chuckled.
- Oh, I guess you will someday. But don't get too excited he's nothing like my mother, although I don't really know if this is good or bad.
She commented.
- I like you.
Mesut said after a moment of silence.
- I know it. I like you too.
Or maybe I'm in love with you but that doesn't feel right to say it.
Vanessa thought to herself.
She had actually thought of it a few times. Maybe she was in love with him. Her feelings were stronger for her just to like him. She liked a lot of things. She liked shopping, she liked going out, she liked spending some time on her own. She liked traveling, she liked doing new things but did she like Mesut ?
The real question though was, did she just like Mesut ?
She knew she couldn't take enough of him when they were together and she knew that she wanted him just to herself.
She missed him the times they weren't together although they tried to spend as much time together as possible.
She was exhausted thinking all these things at once.
She closed her eyes falling asleep in Mesut's arms.

Aaron looked at Mesut with raised eyebrows.
- And since when you meet the mothers of the girls you're sleeping with ?
Aaron asked.
Apparently he was the only one not wanting to admit what was going on between Vanessa and Mesut.
- We don't just sleep with. We're dating.
- You can say that to her Mesut but not to me. I don't believe that you like her that much. You only had a serious relation with Nicole and she cheated on you.
- That doesn't mean that Vanessa will do the same.
Aaron stared blankly at him.
- You know,I was right. You definitely don't like her. No. You're in love with her. You can't stop talking about her or the things you do together. You've changed. She changed you and that's no good.
- I'm not in love with her Aaron. I don't know her that long to be in love with her.
- Oh, come on you've been dating for a while now. It's more than enough time to fall in love with her.
Mesut chuckled.
Deep inside he knew, he had stronger feelings, although he wasn't sure that he was in love with her.
- We're still getting to know each other.
Mesut responded.
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're having a good time getting to know her body.
Aaron said winking at him.
Mesut smirked.
- Getting to know her body is a part of getting to know her in general, so it's inevitable.
Aaron laughed.
- If you insist.

More days have passed and Vanessa and Mesut had came even closer to each other. When Mesut wasn't at his practices or when Vanessa wasn't at the studio they spend every single second together. Their lives had changed completely since the day they first met and they both knew that. There was something about one another that made them feel safe and wanted. They craved for each other, for each other's hug, for each other's kiss for each other's company. Things were better for both of them. They had moved on with their lives supporting each other. They both thought that this was going to be fine. Their happy ending. Their final destination with each other. They wanted to be together for as long as their relation could. They knew they could make it through everything that was going to be on their way. They knew at least that they had one another and that things could only improve at this point of their lives.
And oh, so they thought.
