Maze (A Neymar Jr. Story)

Chapter 13~

     I stayed curled up beside him for hours until it was very late. During the movie he hugged me tight and rose to get us some chocolate milk. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed the cup he knew was my favorite. Every time I come over I use that cup. Although plain, my yellow cup with a Brazilian flag on it reminded me of the great place I am living in and how many great times I have had with Ney.

    As he came back, his warm smile melted me. I sat up slowly so he could sit beside me as he handed me my milk. We gazed at the movie silently, but as he held my hand, I knew he was happy. What a privledge it was to be this close to him. The silence was very pleasant, and the rich smell of the milk comforted me.

    All I could think about was the fact of how lucky I was. My job was exciting and the pay was large. My country was lovely and grand. I had great friends. But what adored me the most was that the person I cared for the most loved me deeply. I could see it in his eyes from day one. I always knew that he wanted to protect me, but I had never imagined that he would love me, not like this.  I greatly thank God for all of this. Even in the midst of losing my parents and best friend, I am forever grateful for all the blessings I have received.

    As the credits of the movie played, Ney missed me and started to get up. A sleepy me groaned, "Ney where are you going? I was almost asleep."

His eyes searched my face,"Meu amor, I have to take you home. It is very late."

As he said that, I was suddenly very awake. I had forgotten about being at his house.

"What do I do about Camila though Ney? There is no way that I am going back to the house."

"There is no way I would let you either. After that fight, I never want you to see her again."

"Ney it wasn't her idea for him to hit you. After all, she did try to stop you and him."

"OK but you are not going there. I was thinking about taking you to a hotel , but this late you wouldn't be safe. That's it, you are staying here and I'll go to a hotel. I'll be right back. I am going to get you some clothes from the house."

   No way he was going over there and start something else. He is just gonna get Jonathan upset and then we will have another catastrophe that we can't stop. On the other hand, I did need some clothes if I was to stay here. But eben if I let him go, I don't want him to go alone in case something happens. Additionally, I also need to talk to Camila about all of this, so maybe I should go.

"Hey Ney wait!"

"What?"

"I'm coming with you."

"No you are not. I'm not the one to start fights so don't think if you go you will help me stop him. He doesn't have a brain right now but I can handle him. I don't want you to see me fight."

"Sorry but that isn't an option,Ney. Now get your keys and let's go."
