A Thousand Years | Mesut Ozil (Sequel to Written In The Stars) [completed]

4

Vanessa kept staring at Mesut, Aaron and Olivier that were discussing something and they were laughing. Vanessa didn't really want to find out what they were talking about -mainly because they were the three of them, and they couldn't possibly say something good- so she just kept sipping her drink and checking at her accounts in social media. She was fighting the urge to call Louisa and ask her how the meeting with that actress was, cause she didn't have a good justification of why she had left like that. She wished that something terrible had indeed happen so for her to have a good justification to present.
- Vanessa ?
She turned to face Aaron.
- What is it ?
She asked checking briefly at Mesut.
- What do you women look first in a guy ?
She made a face and rollled her eyes.
- Not to be a jerk like you.
She responded making Olivier whistle.
- And like you.
Vanessa added talking to Olivier this time.
- You're being rude baby.
Mesut said.
- F.....
- No swearing.
Mesut said again.
- How cute, you read each other's minds.
Aaron added.
- I know her that good, don't I ?
Mesut asked proudly.
- Pretty much, yes. Don't beg her to be with you though. She doesn't deserve it.
Vanessa rolled her eyes at Aaron's comment. She knew he was doing it on purpose.
- Of course she does. She's quite perfect. A little too jealous sometimes but I can handle it.
- You give me reasons to be jealous. You flirt with any single girl you met, if you were a little more serious in our relation I would appreciate it.
She said staring angrily at Mesut.
- Does this mean that we're together again ?
- Of course not. We'll never be together again. Not after what you did. And anyway I want to leave, I don't even know why you made me come here, especially when I had this important meeting. You want to destroy my career, don't you ? You want to take your revenge.
- You'll thank him for what he did Vanessa believe me.
Aaron added.
- What's that supposed to mean ? You said that previously. I want to know what this means.
They all looked at each other. Mesut decided to change the subject.
- I think we should leave.
He said.
- Not before you tell me what's going on.
Vanessa said again.
- Nothing's going on. Take your things, we're leaving.
Mesut approached her taking her hand, trying to lead her away from the club but Vanessa just freed her hand.
- You'll tell me what's going on.
- I'll tell you later. Let's go now.
- No, tell me, do something.
Mesut smiled and placed a small kiss at her lips.
- Get a room, you two.
Aaron yelled from somewhere behind them.
Vanessa made a face at him and finally gave up and followed Mesut outside the club.
- Get me home.
- Great. I haven't slept in your bed since some time now.
Mesut said.
- And you won't sleep again, get me home and make sure you'll bring my car by tomorrow, I left it in the parking lot of the previous club.
She said handing him her car keys.
- You actually want me to do that ? What's your boyfriend going to think that I'll drive your car ?
- It's my car not..........
She stopped, feeling her cheeks heating up.
- Anyway..........
She said trying to relax.
Mesut smirked.
Vanessa started walking in the direction of the car with Mesut following her.
- Why are you hurrying ?
Mesut asked.
- My high heels are killing me.
She complained.
- I don't understand why you wear them, if you can't handle them.
- Of course you don't understand, have you understood anything for me, while we were together ?
Mesut laughed.
- What's so funny ?
- Aaron said, we're acting like a married couple.
- Aaron's stupid. I can't stand them.
Vanessa said and she took her high heels of.
- I like the color on your toe nails.
Mesut commented.
- I know what you're doing and seriously stop it. I don't care if you notice that I change the smallest thing in me, we're not going to be together again.
She walked a little longer with Mesut following her when she stopped, being in pain.
- What is it ?
Mesut asked.
- I think, I just stepped on something and I hurt my leg.
She cried while noticing that her foot was bleeding.
- That's what happens when you decide to walk without shoes in the streets of London.
- Funny. You really think, you're funny. Nothing of this would have happened if we haven't came here tonight.
- Stop complaining Vanessa.
Mesut put her hands around her waist and lifted her in his arms.
- What do you think you're doing ?
She asked.
- Can you walk ? No. Shut up or we're never going to leave from here.
Vanessa let him carry her till his car.
- Thank you.
Vanessa said avoiding his gaze.
- You've put a little weight Vanessa.
- What ?
- Don't worry. Most probably like six, seven, eight.......
- I'll kill you. I swear I'll do.
- I'm just being honest.
Mesut said smirking.
- First time you're being honest and is it for you to tell me that I put on weight ?
Mesut laughed.
- Will you let me drive us home or you're going to stay there complaining ?
Vanessa stared at him for a moment, then opened his car's door to enter and remained in her seat silent for the rest of the drive.

When they arrived outside Vanessa's house, she immediately opened the door and got out.
Mesut followed her till her house's door.
- Thank you for the drive although it was the least you could do after destroying my professional meeting.
Mesut didn't say anything. He wanted to say a lot of things but none of them seemed suitable at the moment.
- Is there something that changed after tonight ?
He asked.
Vanessa looked at him.
- No. And it'll never change. Stop trying, you did enough to make us break up.
Mesut was disappointed again. He thought that he had changed her mind.
- It's ridiculous that I'm the one who's trying although you decided to break up with me, but I thought that you maybe couldn't handle the distance and you needed to focus more on your movie.
- And you thought that cheating on me was a good idea, didn't you ?
Mesut run his fingers through his hair in frustration.
- Why ? Explain to me. Why do you think that I cheated on you ? Who told you that ? Vanessa please tell me. I can't stand it. I never cheated on you. I could never do that.
- But I saw you. I saw you........
She repeated. Her eyes filled with tears. Mesut touched her cheek gently trying to wipe her tears away.
Vanessa tried to avoid his touch.
- Vanessa, seriously I don't know what you're talking about, but it breaks my heart seeing you crying. Can we just forget it ?
Their eyes locked. Mesut waited for her answer. Vanessa's eyes were still wet from the tears.
- I need to be alone. Leave.
Mesut thought that this was his last chance. He didn't want to say that but he felt like he didn't have a choice.
- I can't seeing you with someone else, especially when you're with him, just to make me mad. You'll be with me and I'll do whatever it takes for you to be with me again.
- Don't do anything, I don't want to be with you.
- You're lying. If you could only see how anxious you've been today when thinking that something had happened to me. You proved yourself earlier Vanessa.
She opened her mouth to say something but closed it immediately.
- Go away. And don't come back. I don't want you in my life.
Mesut chuckled.
- Say that you don't love me anymore. Say it. And I'll leave but if you fail to say it, I promise to make you break up with him and be with me again. It's up to you. Say that you don't love me.
- I don't love you.
Mesut took her face in his hands.
- You say it while looking at me.
He said.
Vanessa looked into his eyes and opened her mouth to speak but it was like her voice had betrayed her.
Mesut waited for a moment and then a smile formed in his lips.
- Exactly the answer I wanted to hear.
He said.
Vanessa looked down to avoid his gaze and turned to open her house's door but her hands were shaking.
- Any help with that too ?
Mesut asked mocking her.
- Go away.
- Will do. Anything else you'd like to add before me leaving ?
Vanessa remained silent and Mesut smiled.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
He said making his way to his car.
- No, you won't see me tomorrow!
Vanessa screamed.
- I'm supposed to bring your car, remember ?
He asked smirking.
Vanessa felt her cheeks heating up.
- There's no need to. Give me back my keys.
She said.
- No. Goodnight princess.
Vanessa watched him as he entered his car and started the engine. He had a proud look on his face. Vanessa felt ashamed. He had won. He definitely had. And she couldn't accept that. She didn't want to accept that. He was the one that had cheated on her and she should at least try not to feel what she did feel for him. She shouldn't let him be in her life again.
She was really afraid of what was Mesut going to do.
She stepped inside her house closing the door behind her.
She was exhausted from the day that had taken place.
She remembered that she had at least to call Louisa to see how the meeting was.
She called her and Louisa answered a little after.
- Hello ?
- Hi, Lou I'm really sorry for today. I'll explain to you what happened. Mesut drives me crazy but I'll tell you some other time about it. How was the meeting ?
Vanessa felt that Louisa was uneasy in her question because she hesitated before answering.
- Well, Vanessa you see, there's no need of you care about it, I've got everything under control. It's just that.......
- Yes ?
- We won't need her. And it's more fair to have auditions going on.
Vanessa couldn't believe it.
- Why ? You seemed happy with her, besides I want to meet her, you didn't even mention her name.
- It's better like that.
- Of course it's not. I want to meet her.
Vanessa insisted.
- Oh, Vanessa believe me, you don't.
