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

9

Vanessa was laying in her couch, with closed eyes having an unbearable headache. She knew that Mesut was the one to blame for that. He had caused her a headache. And butterflies in her stomach, but that wasn't definitely new.
- I hate you so much Ozil. You make my life miserable.
She whispered to an empty room.
The doorbell rang and Vanessa groan.
- Whoever you are, run away!
She screamed.
Then she groaned again and made her way to the door, where Sam was standing.
- It's me, do you still want me to run away ?
Before Vanessa being able to respond, Sam placed a kiss in her lips.
- Hi, Sam what are you doing here ?
She asked closing the door as he stepped in.
- I just came to see my girlfriend. Is that so bad ?
He asked.
Vanessa felt her cheeks turn red.
- Of course it's not! You know I was just surprised, because it's a little late and I was about to go to sleep...........and..........
- Going to sleep ? Great Vanessa. I'm in fond of sleeping right now myself.
He said putting his hands all over her waist.
Vanessa backed of without even realizing it.
- Uhm, you know, sleeping alone, wouldn't be that bad of an idea.
She said faking a smile.
- Up for games Vanessa ?
He asked grabbing her close to him and placing kisses in her neck.
The doorbell rang again making Sam curse.
- Whoever it is, just kick him out, okay ?
He said to her.
Vanessa opened the door, only to see the person that had handed her the flowers the previous time as well.
- Flowers again ?
Vanessa asked.
- Someone's really expressing their love to you mrs. Taylor.
The guy said smiling.
Vanessa smiled back weakly, thanked the guy and only when she stepped back into her house, did she realize that she had to give some explanations to Sam.
- Who are the flowers from ?
He asked immediately.
- Some fan, most probably.
Vanessa responded, but Sam grabbed the card from the flowers.
- What's that supposed to mean ?
He asked her, handing her the card.
Since you forgot the previous ones in my car.
Love

Vanessa opened her mouth to say something but nothing seemed suitable at the time being.
- Before you say anything, I just want to tell you that Mesut's trying to make me come back to him and these messages are all lies.
Sam looked at her with raised eyebrows.
- Are you sure about that ? I would prefer it, if you told me the truth.
- It is the truth, Sam believe me. Mesut's just trying to win me back but don't worry, I'm not going to go back to him, I made that clear to him today.
- Did you see him today ?
Sam asked and Vanessa bit her lip. That wasn't supposed for Sam to know.
- No, I mean yes, but you know........it wasn't planned. I just bumped into him. Crazy right ?
Vanessa laughed.
Sam looked at her with his face being darkened.
- Vanessa, I think you're hiding things from me.
- What ? No. Of course not. We just bumped into each other. Nothing serious. You know, that you don't have to worry about it. Mesut's my ex..........
- More like your current boyfriend.
Sam said interrupting her.
Vanessa lowered her gaze. Sam was right. It would be easy just blaming Mesut, but the truth was that he wasn't the only one to blame. Mesut had kissed her a couple of times, since they met again but Vanessa let him to do so. And she liked it. She felt terrible, knowing that Sam was right.
- Sam, I'm really sorry, okay ? You're right, in everything you said. I promise to talk to him and............
- I don't want you to talk to him, Vanessa. Just ignore him. Pretend that he doesn't exist, or if you want to be with him, just tell me so. Since we came back, things between us have changed. Do you want to be again with him ? You're free to do so. But remember what he did to you. Think about it.
Sam stormed out of her house, leaving Vanessa alone. She knew he was right, she was behaving so childish. Yet, she couldn't just pretend that her feelings for Mesut had changed in the slightest.

Vanessa was staring blankly at the candidates, that came for the auditions. She hadn't paid attention at any of them. Her thoughts were to her conversation with Sam the previous night.
- Thank you for your time.
She heard Louisa from beside her.
- Vanessa,.........?
Louisa patted her arm gently.
- What happened ?
- You happened. Vanessa, why are you so absent minded ? I need your opinion in the candidates.
Louisa complained.
Vanessa looked at her apologetically.
- I'm sorry, Lou. I just..........
- Something happened with Mesut, right ?
Vanessa nodded, while she felt her eyes filling with tears.
Louisa hugged her tightly.
- I don't know what to do. I want to tell him, that it's over between us and that he has to stop trying, but every time we're together, he kisses me and I forget what I'm supposed to do.
- Vanessa, maybe being away from him, isn't the right option.
- I can't just forgive him Louisa. He cheated on me. And he has a girlfriend now. And I have a boyfriend. We can't just ignore that.
- I think you can.
- It's not that easy. I don't know if I trust him anymore.
- I think you do.
- He send me flowers yesterday. Again. And Sam was in my place. And he turned mad.
- Why didn't you say that they were from a fan ?
Louisa asked.
- I did, but...........
- But what ?
Vanessa gave her the card that was with the flowers.
- Everything's so complicated.
- Hold on, did you forget the other flowers in his car ? Yesterday's flowers were also from him ? And what were you doing in Mesut's car lady ?
Vanessa faked a smile.
- We had to talk.
She just said.
- So, Mesut's really trying to win you back. I can see now why you're head over heels for him.
- Louisa, you don't understand. He's trying to make me break up with Sam.
- And if he does ? Sam could find someone else, it's not a big deal.
Louisa said smirking.
- Louisa, I'm serious. I would never cheat on Sam, or on anyone else.
- Never ? Are you sure about that ?
Louisa asked.
Vanessa raised her eyebrows.
- Of course I am.
- So, yesterday when you were in his car, you just talked ?
Louisa asked chuckling.
- Of course we just talked. What else should we do ?
- I don't know, you tell me.
Vanessa bit her lip.
Louisa's eyes were locked on hers.
- Okay, fine, he kissed me.
Vanessa admitted.
- And ?
- And nothing Louisa, just that.
Vanessa replied, rolling her eyes.
- Did you kiss him back ?
- Of course not. Okay, I did. But what was I supposed to do ? He was so close. In every move I made, we touched, what was I supposed to do ? And then, he kissed me once and I kissed him back. And then, I was the one kissing him, cause I just couldn't resist. I can't resist, being in the same place with him and not being able to touch him. I can't think straight, when he's there.
Vanessa cried.
- I know how you feel.
- Really ?
- Yes, I was in love sometime. It just didn't work. But it can work for you.
- I don't know Lou. There are a lot of things in our way.
- You're the biggest problem, in your way Vanessa.
Louisa said.
- You think ?
- Forgive him, Vanessa. He deserves it, he proved himself.
Vanessa looked at her.
- But what happens with Sam and Tanya ?
- They'll find their way, don't you think ?
- I seriously, don't know what to think anymore.

Aaron and Mesut were heading to their cars, while the rain had started pouring.
- You kept quiet in the whole practice.
Aaron commented.
- I'm confused Aaron.
- What happened again ?
Aaron asked.
- She. She happened again. I don't know what to do. First, she kisses me and then acts as nothing has happened.
- She's trying, to make you chase her.
- She succeeds.
Mesut commented.
- Of course she does, you idiot.
- I'm stupid, that I try that much for her. And she rejects me all the time.
- You're an idiot. But I like what you're doing. I mean, I'd never do it but it's fun that you make such a fool of yourself.
Aaron said laughing.
- You're not helping.
- I'm sorry. But don't give up, if you insist on trying, she's going to come back to you sooner or later.

Vanessa looked around her. Nobody was in sight. Someone had left a box outside of her door's house.
Since it wasn't flowers, anybody could have left it here, right ?
She took the box and stepped inside her house.
She was curious, to see what was on the inside. Maybe a gift from Sam ? It was possible that he felt bad about the way they had fought.
Vanessa left her bag on the couch and opened the box. A smaller box was inside of it and as always a card.
Vanessa took first the smaller box. Her mouth opened in shock, when she saw a beautiful necklace. Sam was really sad about the way they had fought, and she had thought of breaking up with him and going back to Mesut. How stupid had she been!
She stood in front of the mirror and wore it. Sam knew her that good and they were not even dating a lot of time. Vanessa smiled to herself in the mirror, thinking that after that she couldn't leave him. He really had strong feelings for her.
Vanessa returned back and took the card from the box, smiling before even reading it.
Since I missed your birthday and since you had already decided to broke up with me then, here's your present. I hope you like it!
I'm still missing you.
Mesut
Vanessa was staring at the card, blankly. And then, she felt her eyes filling with tears. She was so lucky that Mesut was in her life and he clearly, didn't deserve her rejection. She kept the card, close to her.
- I miss you too.
