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

7

Vanessa knew exactly what she had to do. She had decided it since the moment she learned about Tanya. There was no way she would show Mesut that she was afraid of his girlfriend. She just had to convince Louisa. Besides she was the one being super excited about it. But Louisa didn't seem to be still in fond of the idea. Vanessa knew that she had to change her mind no matter what. She wanted to have Tanya close. That would make Mesut think in a different way about her. She would show him that she didn't care if Tanya was his girlfriend. She could manage that too. The doorbell rang interrupting her thoughts and Vanessa realized, she had no idea who it might be.
She made slowly her way to the door knowing she wasn't suitably dressed for whoever was knocking at her door.
She opened the door, only to see a man carrying flowers.
- Mrs. Taylor ?
He asked, reading a card.
- Yes ?
- These are for you.
- Oh!
Vanessa took in her hands the flowers the man handed her, being the least shocked. She had no idea who might had sent her flowers.
- Thank you.
She said closing the door behind her as she stepped in. She searched immediately for a card, not really knowing who might have done this.
A fan ? Maybe her brother ? Or was it Sam, trying to be romantic ?
Vanessa found the card and rolled her eyes to what it was written in it.
These are a warning. I know you're alone at home but next time, I'll make sure your boyfriend will see them and see the card too. Unless you come back to me. It's really up to you.
I love you
Mesut
- You're kidding me!
Vanessa said turning mad. So, that was what Mesut was planning ? Vanessa wasn't going to give up that easily. No. She wasn't going to give up at all. Mesut had no clue what he had done.
- That was enough Mr. Ozil.
Vanessa grabbed her phone, dialing Louisa's number who answered almost immediately.
- Hello ?
- We need to talk.

Louisa had heard to everything Vanessa had said not speaking much herself. After all, Vanessa was the boss there. Sipping on her coffee, Louisa was looking at her, trying to understand what she should do in the first place.
- Look, Vanessa maybe........I don't know. It's not a really good idea, if you ask me.
Vanessa cocked an eyebrow.
- Why ?
- Well, are you doing this, to take your revenge on Mesut ?
Vanessa laughed.
- Of course not.
- I don't agree with that. I really don't.
- You have to trust me Louisa. And don't forget that you were the one being excited about Tanya.
- I know. But then I learned who she was.
- That's none of your business. And maybe she's worth it.
Vanessa protested.
- Yes, maybe. That's why we have to go through auditions.
Louisa snapped.
- No. I want her. And I also want to meet her, I didn't have the chance the previous time.
- I don't think, this is a really good idea.
- Trust me Louisa. It's the best, besides she's a good actress.
- Vanessa, no please.
- Okay, we'll have auditions, but if she's worth it, we're going to give her the role. Do we have a deal ?
Louisa rolled her eyes.
- What do you want to prove Vanessa ?
- Nothing, I swear. I just want Mesut to know that I don't care about him and his girlfriend.
- So, you want to prove yourself to Mesut.
Louisa said.
Vanessa sighted.
- Well maybe I do want that. He's crazy. Do you know that he send me flowers earlier ? Here, read the card.
Louisa took the card from Vanessa's hands and read it while raising her eyebrows.
- He's trying way too hard.
Louisa commented.
- That's why I need Tanya to my cast. It's the perfect plan to show him, I'm over him. He'll stop after that, won't he ?

Tanya raised an eyebrow while reading her emails.
- They're going to held auditions! How stupid can they be! When I spoke with this Louisa on the phone, she said that I would definitely have the role! I hope this has nothing to do with the fact that you're ex's jealous!
She screamed at Mesut.
- But isn't this how this works ? Don't you always go through auditions ?
He asked.
- Not if someone recommends you for the role! And what if they won't choose me after that ? I know that this is their plan. I can't believe it! Your ex's crazy!
- Tell me about it.
Mesut whispered.
- Tell me that you have nothing to do with it.
- What ?
- You heard me Mesut. You didn't show up in front of her, telling her what to do, did you ?
- Of course not Tanya. You asked me to stay out of this and I respected that. Besides, you know that I don't even talk to Vanessa right now. Our relation has finished and believe me, we're not going back together.

That's the last warning Vanessa. Leave that guy and come back to me. I can't live without you. Why do you have to do this to both of us ?
P.S buy the third dress you tried. You look breathtaking in that. I'd like to think you wearing it and then me undressing you from that.
I love you
Mesut
Vanessa looked all around the store being frightened. Was Mesut there ? How did he know which dress had she tried third ? Vanessa had gone out shopping and she had been to a store trying formal dresses. And then a guy appeared from nowhere, handing her flowers again. Vanessa was surprised at first but realized almost immediately what was going on. Apparently that was the last chance Mesut gave her, as then he was going to destroy everything with Sam, but Vanessa wasn't going to let him. Not this time. She had had enough. Vanessa put the flowers aside as she made her way outside of the fitting rooms.
She wondered where was Mesut and why couldn't she spot him in the first place. She must have been somewhere near if he had seen her trying all these dresses. And Vanessa wasn't going to listen to him and buy that dress. But the dress really suited her.

Vanessa looked at her manicured nails. She had been bored.
- How many left ?
She asked Louisa who was sitting beside her.
- A lot. Do you want us to have a break ?
It was the day of the auditions. A lot of random candidates had shown up, all which had no clue. And Vanessa couldn't have been more disappointed.
- No, I want this thing to finish as soon as possible. I'm so bored.
- Me too. And have you seen anyone that's actually worth it ?
- No way. Most of them have no clue.
- I know. And think of how many roles we have to find someone for. I'm sick only in the thought of us, having to be here for, God knows how many hours.
Louisa complained.
- I hope it's worth it. I want to spend some time with Mesut, I have neglected him lately.
- With whom ?
Louisa asked smirking.
- What ?
Vanessa asked confused.
- You said, you wanted to spend some time with Mesut.
Vanessa felt her cheeks heating up. It was possible that she had said that, given that Mesut was all she was thinking about.
- I didn't. I said, I want to spend some time with Sam.
Louisa furrowed her eyebrows.
- Yes, right. That's definitely what you said. I must have heard wrong. Why should you want to spend time with Mesut after all ? You don't love him anymore. So, there's not really a chance.
Louisa said smirking.
- Can we go to the next candidate ?
Vanessa asked, tucking her hair nervously behind her ear.
- Sure. The sooner we finish, the sooner you'll see Mesut. Oh, my bad, I meant Sam.
Vanessa ignored her and as she was about to call the next candidate, a guy appeared to bring her flowers.
- You've got to be kidding me!
Vanessa said not questioning for a moment, who the flowers were from.
She took them, thanking the guy avoiding again Louisa's questioning look.
According to the fact, that you bought the dress, I assume that you've started regretting the decision you've taken. That's great, cause honestly I've missed you so much that I pretend you're sleeping beside me. If you don't want trouble, don't choose the next candidate, no matter what.
I love you and I've missed you.
Mesut
- What's that ?
Louisa asked.
- Isn't it obvious ?
Vanessa replied.
- He really wants you back.
- This is not the right way to have me back though. But I swear Louisa, if I didn't have a pride, I would definitely go back to him. I haven't loved anyone the way, I love him.
- Tell me something I don't know.
- I want to go back to him. I could sacrifice everything, just to be with him again.
- You can do it.
- No, I can't. What about Sam and Tanya ? It's not fair for them.
- So, is it fair for you ? Or for him ?
- He had his chance, Louisa.
- He made a mistake. As if you'd done everything right.
- At least, I didn't cheat on him.
- Oh, come on! An one night stand, doesn't mean anything and you just saw them kissing!
- It was enough to make me realize, how things were.
- Whatever.
Louisa said rolling her eyes.
- You would have done the same.
Vanessa accused her.
- I would have at least given him a chance to explain.
Louisa snapped.
- Why ? So for me to hear all of his lies ? No, thank you.
Vanessa snapped back.
- You're so stubborn. I totally hate it.
Vanessa made a face at her.
- See ? Mesut always has his way of making my life a mess even when he's absent.
Louisa grimaced at her.
- Be responsible for once, Vanessa!
Vanessa ignored her, asking for the next candidate to come inside. She didn't recognize the girl that was in front of her. Not until her telling her name.
- I'm Tanya Wright.
The girl said and Vanessa remembered her as the girl she bumped into, while leaving the club.
She felt shivers down her spine.
Don't choose the next candidate.
Where the hell was Mesut and knew all of these ?
The fact that he was somewhere near, gave her strength.
