Not over yet - Zanessa

Chapter 15 - Heart Divided

They slept until mid-afternoon, together, as they so long waited for. Maybe the time that they had been apart would made them lose interest in each other, but no, it only increased even more what they deep down knew always had for each other, the most beautiful way to love someone.

They woke up with a cell phone ringing, and as much as neither of them wanted to get up, Vanessa stood up realizing that it was hers.  

- OMG! - she screamed!

- What?? - Zac jumped out of bed.

- I got 7 calls from Austin. I said I'd call him when I get there. What I do now, Zac?

- V, you need to talk to him. We're now together and you don't love him, you can't fool him, it's not fair to him. The sooner you two talk, better.

- Yeah, you're right. I know, I have to go home now, I can't postpone this conversation any longer. Wish me luck.

- Good luck babe, you know I love you!

- I love you too, Zac!

Then, they both kissed, dressed and Vanessa called a cab to take her home. 

The trip home was shorter than Vanessa expected, she was so nervous to face Austin again that she didn't notice the time passing.  She had taken advantage of the trip to call the people in charge of the film to inform them that she had a family problem and she couldn't got the flight and they allowed her to stay for a few more days, so that Vanessa could organize her life.

The taxi stopped in front of the gate that had been her home for 7 years with Austin, the home she was preparing to destroy. She paid, got out of the cab, and walked to the door. She was about to put the key in the door when Austin opened it, you could see that his face was worried.

- V, what happened? What are you doing here? I called you so many times. I already called all your family and friends, everyone's worried.  

-Hey Austin. There were some problems with the flight, I couldn't get it. I still tried to get another, but it was impossible. And sorry, I was up all night, I fell asleep by now, I didn't see the calls. Everyone should relax, I'm fine.

-And what about the movie? Are you going to get in trouble with the producer? And where you slept?

- Don't worry, I've taken care of everything, he says he's filming other scenes with other actors and then when I get there he films with me. I slept in a hotel near the airport, I was very tired and I ended up staying there - Vanessa lied - Listen, I need to talk to you.  

- Yeah, I need to talk to you too - said Austin, with a sad look in his eyes.

- Please, let me tell you first - Vanessa said.

- Listen, I lost my job in the movie... - he interrupted her.

- What? But you said that they chose you, to start working with the script and everything!

- I know, but someone appeared more appropriate for the role...Every time I believe less in me, I think that I'm not made to be an actor.  

- Don't say that, of course you were! You have a lot of talent, people will see it!

- It's not normal, I dedicated myself 200% to this, I decorated the text, I did my best, and even then it wasn't enough.  

-Austin, you have two options right now, or you let yourself stay and you give up or look ahead and fight. If you give up, you're proving them right, you have to believe in yourself, you have to fight, because it's about the fighters that everyone makes the best stories - said Vanessa, trying to motivate him.

- I really need you at this moment, I can't have the strength for nothing, it seems that my world collapsed ... Life is unfair, I just want to work, I think I'm not asking for too much...  

-We'll do like this, go up and get some rest, I'll make a dinner for both of us to, when you calm down you'll see you're going to think better.

Austin thanked her with a kiss, went upstairs and, turning back, asked:

- Oh sorry, I didn't even remember, what did you want to tell me?

- Oh yes ... I wanted to tell you that ... I was thinking about adopting a dog, a company for Darla, what do you think? - Vanessa lied again.  

-I think it's a good idea, poor Darla, she also have the right to love someone, to be happy.

- Be happy, yes ... You're right, love has to make us happy, it's the most important thing.... So, go, go rest, I'll wake you up later.

- Okay V, I love you - Austin said.

- Nice rest.
