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

21

Mesut couldn't believe that he was actually doing this. Didn't he trust Vanessa ? Well, he did, but Tanya's words were in his head all this time. Could have Tanya played her role so good and make him believe all her lies ? But were they really lies ? Cause he didn't know what to think himself.
- But if she's indeed like a month old, it's your child.
Aaron said, looking at the studio.
Mesut's car was parked outside of it, in an attempt to spy on Vanessa.
- I don't know what to think. And is it a coincidence that Tanya said that and then Vanessa announced that she'll use Sam for her cast again ?
Mesut asked, running his fingers through his hair in frustration.
- I think that Tanya just learned somehow about the fact that Vanessa's expecting and actually that it's your child we're talking about and that's what she's doing in an attempt to keep you with her.
- You think ?
- Yes, why don't you trust Vanessa ? She's loyal. She always was. And she loves you. Besides, if the child was Sam's she could have said that to you. She doesn't seem like the person that could keep something like that to herself.
Mesut nodded. He wasn't really sure that Aaron believed all these stuff, he most probably said them to comfort him. He was helping though. Vanessa wasn't the type of girl that could lie and not actually feel guilty. But Mesut still had his doubts. Spying on her though wasn't that much of a good idea. Maybe he could just give up on this. He was about to do so, when she saw Vanessa exiting the studio and after her Sam coming. Mesut's jaw clenched. They were discussing about something, both smiling and Sam hugged her tightly before saying goodbye to her and leaving.
- They hugged....
Mesut said disappointed.
- So ?
- Aaron, I think she's playing with me. Maybe she wants to take her revenge. What should I do ?
- Stop thinking like that. When did Vanessa gave you the right to doubt her intentions that much ?
- I guess, I'm afraid. What if she leaves me ? The child should be with its father, she knows that. I don't know what I'm going to do if she leaves me again.
- Stop it you idiot, why should she do that ? She won't. Trust her a little. Just because you screwed things up, doesn't mean she'll do the same. And let's leave, she's going to be at your place faster than you.
Mesut nodded, and started the engine. Maybe Aaron was right. Why should he trust Tanya after all ?

Vanessa's head was laying in Mesut's chest. He was playing with her hair, but he was lost in his thoughts. He didn't know what to do about what had Tanya told him. Of course trusting Vanessa was the right option, but what if she lied to him ? Vanessa lifted her head to look at him.
- What's wrong ?
She asked placing a kiss at his lips.
Mesut faked a smile.
- Nothing. Everything's fine.
- You're absent minded are you sure that everything's fine ? Something with the team maybe ?
- No, Vanessa, don't worry, everything's okay. And you ? How was today in the studio ?
Vanessa bit her lip.
- Good. Nothing....you know.....important.
That made Mesut feel even worse. Vanessa was uneasy. So, there was indeed something going on.
- And...what about Sam ? I mean, your cast ?
- Oh, it's great. I'm a little hungry you know, I'll go make something to eat. You'll come ?
She asked looking at him.
- Yes. Vanessa, do you love me ?
He asked, being desperate.
Vanessa was surprised by his question.
She let out a small laugh.
- What kind of a question is that ? Of course I love you.
- And you would lie to me, to not hurt me ?
Vanessa swallowed hard.
- Why do you ask me these things ?
- I....just....I was curious.
- You shouldn't be. You know that I love you and this is enough, I think.
- Okay, and I promise to talk with Tanya and clear things with her.
Vanessa nodded.
- Okay.
She simply said, making her way to the kitchen.

Mesut broke up with Tanya not a lot after. He still had doubts about Vanessa's behavior though. She was keeping something behind, Mesut knew. He just couldn't understand what and why. He was constantly thinking about asking her directly about what Tanya had said but he knew that this could annoy Vanessa. And he definitely didn't want to annoy her. He walked out of his room. Vanessa was in the living room talking on the phone. Mesut didn't intend to but he heard her conversation.
Vanessa sounded anxious and she was mostly whispering. He figured out that she was talking with Louisa.
- I know Lou, but do you think I should tell him ? I mean....well, I don't want to disappoint him and I know I will if I tell him, so I better don't what do you think ?
She bit her lip.
Mesut wanted to disappear right now and stop eavesdropping but he just couldn't control himself.
- And what if he learns this from someone else ? Like Tanya ? He'll never trust me again. I know, that I can't just tell him, it's weird, I mean, I wouldn't be okay with it, but I don't know, I don't want to lie to him. After everything we've been through, this just destroys everything.
She exhaled deeply. Mesut bit his lip. He didn't want to hear more. He cough to announce that he was just entering the room and Vanessa turned to face him.
- Oh, Lou, I've got to hang up. We'll talk tomorrow. Bye.
Vanessa looked at Mesut with eyes wide open.
- Hi, baby. You just came ?
- Yes.
Mesut responded faking a smile.
Vanessa faked a smile too. They were both feeling awkward.
- You were talking with Louisa ?
Mesut asked not knowing what else to say.
Vanessa nodded.
- And ? Have you told her about us getting married ?
Vanessa laughed.
- She was the first one that I told so.
Mesut nodded.
- Vanessa.....
He stopped.
She looked at him.
- What is it ?
- Nothing. Forget it. Just...do you think that we should move in together ?
Vanessa's eyes opened wide.
- Move in together ? You mean that ?
She asked.
Mesut nodded.
- Yes. You already spend quite much time here so it wouldn't be a big difference.
Vanessa smiled.
- I would love to Mesut.
She replied.
She pressed her lips on his.
- I love you.
She said.
- I love you too.

Mesut ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.
- I hate it! I know that she can't tell me, I heard her on the phone with Louisa, they were discussing about it, she's expecting Sam's child.
Aaron patted his shoulder.
- Maybe you misunderstood.
- Why don't you behave like you always did ? Tell me that she's not worth it ?
- Why, if I tell you so, are you going to listen to it ?
Mesut stared at him.
- No. But this time I need the truth more than anything. I can't stand that she's lying now. Well, I know that she feels awkward to tell me the truth but I don't know. I would prefer it, if she was honest with me.
Aaron exhaled deeply.
- Maybe you should tell her that you know what's going on.
Mesut looked at him surprised.
- And how is this going to help ?
- I don't know. Then you'll discuss about it as a couple.
Mesut didn't know what to do. He didn't want Vanessa to be pregnant with someone else's child. He wanted her to be with his child. And now Sam would be a shadow to their marriage. Cause Mesut was serious, his intentions were serious and he meant to marry her no matter what. He had regretted everything that had happened. He knew that he was the one to blame and that if it wasn't for him kissing Tanya, Sam would never be a part of this story. But he couldn't erase everything that had happened now. And Vanessa didn't trust him enough to tell him that he was expecting someone else's child. Mesut would still love her, he would be a little disappointed though.
- I have fucked up Aaron.
- Don't worry, it's not as bad as it seems, believe me.
- I don't know what to do.
- I don't think that you should believe Tanya though.
Aaron commented.
- Tanya and I have broken up Aaron. What's the point of her lying now ? I'm never going back to her and she knows that. But Vanessa....she doesn't trust me enough to tell me the truth, and that hurts me even more.
- What if you ask that friend of hers ? Louisa ?
Aaron asked.
- Are you crazy ? She's going to cover up for Vanessa. I don't know what I should do.
- Ask her Mesut. Just ask her. If you're clear with her, she'll speak the truth, sooner or later.
Mesut nodded. He knew that Aaron was right and that he had to ask Vanessa about it. He could handle her saying that she was expecting Sam's child. It would be okay. Mesut was going to tell her that they could still be together anyway and that the child would have the right to see Sam. Yes, that was definitely what he should do. He was happy with that decision he made.
- You're right Aaron. That's exactly what I should do.

Vanessa stripped from her jacket and looked herself in the mirror. Her belly hadn't grown a lot and it wasn't still obvious that she was expecting. She smiled. She had freaked out at first because of her being afraid of what Mesut was going to say. They were going to become parents after all. She had shared the news with her cast in the studio. And they all congratulated her. Vanessa was really happy. She hadn't told her mother about her upcoming wedding yet, but she was going to do so soon. It was the happiest moment of her life when Mesut asked her to marry him. Even if he hadn't actually done it properly. The doorbell rang, surprising her.
She opened the door to see Sam. She smiled at him.
- Hi, Sam. Come in.
- Sorry for coming that late, I know I was supposed to come earlier.
- It's okay.
- Great. You have something that I own Vanessa.
