The Unexpected

Chapter 21

Mesut’s POV:

Just like last night in the restroom of the restaurant with Scarlett once I had slipped out in my native language that I loved her, I again found myself completely frozen on the spot from the situation that I was in on standing outside of the bathroom. No words let alone any movements, were capable of coming from me at this point. I was paralyzed from head to toe in shock of what had just happened. This is not the way I would have pictured Scarlett finding out how I feel about her – having to eavesdrop in on me in the bathroom as I was on the phone talking to Sergio about it – it had turned out to be the complete opposite. I had it all planned out in my head over how I was going to express my undying love and affection to this woman and this was not a part of that plan by any means. Things seem to have taken a turn in the wrong direction for me in this case. Although, I guess that I should be used to that by now.

My plan on telling Scarlett was that I was going to take her out to dinner to one of the most luxuriousrestaurants that Wales has to offer, where I was going to wait until we were both settled in and enjoying our time together before starting to tell her exactly how I feel. And before you say anything; I am fully aware that this was my plan last time but as we know I got a little distracted from going ahead with it last night, by that I mean Scarlett worked that little charm of hers on me and there was no going back from it. But I was not going to let that happen again. I was supposed to do all of this properly, with a small romantic twist to it. And maybe then we would seal the deal with a little bit of sexy time. It was all going to work a little like Sergio had first suggested to me last night but no, things never do turn out as simple as that for me. It was down to sheer bad luck that Scarlett had to find out in this sort of way.

How I could have allowed something like this to happen really is beyond me. Surely I should have known that it was a bad idea in the first place to have that conversation with Sergio, whether Scarlett did seem to be asleep at the time. I have said it once and I will say it again; this woman finds out everything no matter how hard you try to hide it from her, believe me, I had realised this through the years of our friendship. So in all honesty I really was stupid enough to think otherwise in this case scenario. If there is anybody that should be held responsible for the way that Scarlet has found out then it should be me. Not her and most certainly not Sergio for being the one to call me anyway, but me. I am just hoping that I had not ruined whatever has started to blossom between us both due to her way of finding out as that is my main feat, it is the last thing that I would ever want to happen as a final outcome to all of this.

All that I am asking for is for things to stay normal between us, is that too much?

“For fuck sake Mesut, are you even listening to me?” Scarlett shouted straight at me with a clear breach of anger evident in her voice. And as I came back from my trance of though and back to the real world I looked back at her, realising as the look that she was giving me mirrored her tone of voice – she was angry with me, more than I have ever witnessed before. But can you really blame her though? No, I do not think that you can. So preventing her angry from building up more I began focusing all of my attention her, waiting patiently until she went on. “Wow, finally. You’re actually listening to me now then I see.” She rolled her eyes at me. “I’m just waiting for you to start explaining yourself now Mesut. I want to know why you didn’t think to tell me sooner about how you feel. I had to find out by eavesdropping for fuck sake!”

I sighed heavily to myself as I ran my palm across my face, finally averting my gaze back down to Scarlett again with a shake of the head. “Not now, not here when there are others in the house besides me and you. I want it to be just us when I tell you with no other people that can listen in to what I have to say.” She looked at me a little unsure in what I was going on about. It seemed to me as if to her I was speaking a complete different language from the look upon her face, but I chose to just ignore it and continue further. “I promise that I’ll tell you all that you want to know, but later on. We’ll go for a walk or something and then I’ll explain everything to you.”
