Vanessa had appeared in her living room again wearing the third one of the dresses she had previously bought. She had decided to go some shopping since she had nothing to wear to a party that was Louisa going to organize to celebrate how good the filming of the scenes had gone.
Mesut raised his gaze from his phone once again looking at her. He was supposed to say which one of the dresses was better for a party, which made her look sexier and professional at the same time and which suited better the color of her eyes.
The truth was that Mesut had no idea which one of them suited her eyes most, mostly because they all were blue although Vanessa insisted that they were different shades of blue explaining to him the colors but even in that Mesut wasn't convinced that the dresses had actually a different color.
It was also true that Mesut was interested in any of these dresses. He thought that Vanessa looked good in all three of them like she did in anything she wore and that he preferred her without clothes on. Of course he wasn't going to say any of these stuff because he knew that then he would have to hear Vanessa complain about -how him not having a clue- was getting on her nerves.
- You look amazing.
Mesut said and Vanessa smiled.
- Really ?
She asked looking at her dress.
- Yes.
- Okay, but which one of them do you think was better ?
That was the difficult part and Mesut knew he had to respond cleverly.
- Well, I can't really decide since you looked great in all of them.
Vanessa nodded.
- So ?
- So, I think the second one since it was both professional and made you look sexy at the same time.
Mesut had learned thar if he justified what he said, Vanessa wouldn't be disappointed even if she didn't agree with him.
- Well, I don't know but maybe you're right. I'll wear it again to remember how it looked on me.
Vanessa said making her way to her room.
Mesut tried to be patient. He had the feeling that this was going to last hours.

Vanessa had picked the dress she was going to wear -the third one because it made her legs look longer- matching it with shoes, her purse and make up.
She was looking peacefully at the dress having put it back in her wardrobe.
She had also refused to eat since she didn't want to look as if she was pregnant in the party. Mesut wanted to tell her that she was crazy but decided not to. He had figured a long ago that Vanessa was quite a perfectionist.
Louisa was throwing the party at her place and the whole cast with their families or dates or whatever they had was invited.
Vanessa knew that this was going to be her night. Since the movie was hers the cast was picked up by her -okay Louisa had also helped in that- but still it was her night and Vanessa couldn't wait to be the center of attention.
Mesut on the other hand wasn't looking forward to this at all. He had nothing in common with Vanessa's cast but he didn't even attempt to tell her that he wasn't going to come. If it was important for Vanessa it was important for him too even if it was just a party to celebrate the filming of some scenes.
- They're not some scenes.
Vanessa had protested scolding him.
She was making her way up and down her room dressed in one of Mesut's underwear and a shirt of him.
Mesut had liked the image of her in his clothes and he didn't complain when Vanessa had decided to adapt some of his clothes.
- I'm pretty sure you have filmed scenes before.
Mesut insisted.
- You don't understand but I really don't expect you to do so.
Vanessa said raising an eyebrow.
- Are you mad ?
Mesut asked smirking.
- I should be mr. Ozil but I can't be mad with you for a lot of time.
Mesut stood up from her bed and approached her pulling her into his arms.
- When is this stupid party taking place ?
- Tomorrow night and it's not stupid.
Mesut placed his lips on hers making her stop talking. He really didn't want to talk about this party any longer.
Vanessa pulled away staring at his eyes.
- There's no need of you coming.
She explained.
- But I will.
- But you'll be bored.
- It's better than having Aaron to keep me company.
Vanessa smiled.
- Great.
- Besides, I wouldn't allow you go alone wearing this dress of yours.
- What's that supposed to mean ?
Mesut thought of it.
- You'll be the center of attention as you said because the movie's yours and the men that'll be there would look at you and the parts of your body that the dress won't cover.
Vanessa burst out laughing.
- You know some men of the cast look at me and try to impress me when we film a scene.
- That's sweet of them.
- Yes, they had even asked me out.
Mesut looked at her trying to understand whether she was speaking the truth or not.
- Are you serious now ?
- Yes.
- Well, don't they have accounts in social media ? It's impossible for them not to know that you're sleeping with me.
Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows.
- Sleep with you ? Well, if I just sleep with you they can do whatever they want. It's not that we're dating or something. So, I most probably have to go to that party on my own.
Mesut captured her mouth again surprising her.
- You won't go to that party alone. It's time for these fuckers to learn who had you screaming and moaning like hell all these nights.

The following night Vanessa was early dressed knowing that she should be there since she was the important person of the party. Mesut hadn't said anything and just followed her in his car. Vanessa was referring to her cast, telling Mesut their names and Mesut nodded in agreement as if there was a chance of him remembering any of the names later.
Louisa's house was the perfect place to throw a party. Vanessa checked her make up one last time and turn to face Mesut for the first time since they had left her house.
- You're handsome.
She said and she really meant it.
She then placed a kiss at his lips insisting that they had to be the center of attention at a party.
Mesut didn't say anything again and just nodded.
They both headed outside of Mesut's car heading to Louisa's house.
Vanessa looked at Mesut carefully:
- How do I look ?
She asked.
- For the hundred time Vanessa you look great.
- Just great ?
Mesut stared blankly at her.
- I'm teasing.
She said ringing the doorbell.
She could hear loud music from the inside and people's loud voices.
After a minute Louisa opened the door laughing.
- Finally Vanessa everybody was expecting you.
Louisa said kissing both her cheeks. She seemed super excited and Vanessa wondered if she was already drunk.
- Louisa this is Mesut, Mesut......
- Nice to meet you Mesut, Vanessa has told me a lot about you.
Louisa said hugging him.
She stepped inside with Vanessa and Mesut following.
- I thought you said we were early.
Mesut screamed so Vanessa to hear him above the loud music.
- Well, it seems like we're not.
She responded.
A lot of people approached Vanessa at once and she introduced them to Mesut as her cast repeating their names.
- Vanessa, there's another producer tonight here and says he wants to talk to you.
Louisa screamed taking Vanessa's hand leading her somewhere outside of her huge living room.

Vanessa looked at Louisa smiling.
- What do you think ?
She asked her.
- Well, he's interested in working with you, it's obvious.
Louisa said.
- I'm really glad he actually is.
Vanessa said making her way to Louisa's living room.
- I'm pretty sure he will help with that movie too.
Louisa said again.
- Yes, uhm Louisa do you know where's Mesut ? I need to find him. It's possible that he'll be bored by now.
Vanessa said trying to count how much time she was talking with this producer having completely neglected Mesut.
- I don't know maybe he's in the kitchen, drinks are in there.
Vanessa nodded.
She tried to make her way to the kitchen but the whole house was packed. She tried to call Mesut in his cell phone but he didn't respond. It didn't need him to respond though. Vanessa spotted him in the kitchen chatting with Josie the blonde that portrayed the protagonist.
She was way too flirty with him and that could anyone understand it. Josie had put her hand in his arm and although Mesut wasn't touching her, he didn't seem bothered by what was happening.
Vanessa made her way to where they both were feeling disappointed.
As he saw her enter the smile vanished from Mesut's face but Josie didn't even paid attention to that.
- Am I interrupting something ?
Vanessa asked sarcastically.
Josie's blue eyes met hers.
- Look who's here Vanessa! Mesut Ozil's a footballer.
She giggled.
- I know.
Vanessa responded looking at Mesut.
- Do you know him ?
Josie asked smiling.
- I'd prefer not to.
Vanessa said under her breath and made her way outside of the house in Louisa's garden. She knew that Mesut had followed her and heard him saying that he wanted to explain.
Despite the rain that had started Vanessa made her way to the garden.
Mesut grabbed her hand immediately.
- Vanessa.......
- And I thought that you were bored but you had nice company.
Vanessa snapped.
- Are you kidding me ? She was that started the conversation.
- You were flirting. I saw you.
- Vanessa.....
- Stop it. I know her and I know what kind of a bitch she's but I don't care about her, is you that I can't understand. Are you going to flirt with the first girl you see when I turn my back ?
- You misunderstood the whole thing. And let's go inside it's raining.
- I can't believe you started flirting with someone the second I was no longer with you. What are you trying to prove ? That you can have any girl you want ? We all know that.
Vanessa looked at him being furious. She couldn't justify him.
- Listen to me Vanessa, I wasn't flirting with her. I would never do such thing to you, not something that's going to hurt you anyway.
- Whatever.
Mesut placed his hands in her face coming close to her.
- I would never cheat on you Vanessa. Never. And you know why ? Cause I'm in love. I'm in love with you.
