Love at first sight

Talks

"Where are we going?" I was curious after we got in his car , he gave me a quick glance to smile and turned back to his driving "I'm going to take you somewhere I really like" his presence made me feel at ease although I'd just met him this very morning. Watching him sat next to me diving with utter concentration made me feel so strange , he looked so good with his veiny hands holding loosely on to the leather steering wheel while his dark green eyes were constantly examining his surroundings "I feel like... we really need to get to know each other you know?" He told me but I always demanded more "why? Why do you feel like that?" I asked mysteriously which seemed to allure his attention as he quickly turned to look at me in a really confused way. Damn I could be such a bitch. He raised his eyebrows while not looking at me "well, you've done something to me" he said and pulled the car up. I'd been too occupied with looking at him that I'd missed the whole journey and now we had arrived at the top of a hill where it was just us and the dazzling skyline of Barcelona under a thousand stars. "What exactly is it that I've done to you" I replied back and he leaned further into his seat with a heavy sigh , he raised his hand to his forehead and tried to obviously destress himself. I didn't know what to do like seriously what shall I do right now he's made it a tad awkward. Neymar shuffled in his seat to sit up again, he turned to me and quickly grabbed my hands. My heart started racing. Was he actually a psychopath? What if he's not what I thought of him? I started to panic. "Milena, I don't know what you've done to me - I have never in my life felt this way, you've completely swept me off my feet and I have this burning desire to spend time with you and feel your presence with me all the time , I got home from training today and usually all I want is a hot shower and sleep but today was different - you've not left my mind for the slightest second , I kept repeating today in my head over and over again do you understand me?" Wide eyed and baffled I nodded, my heart pace became normal again and I felt calm " you know , no ones ever made me feel this special before.." I muttered slightly disappointed but happy at the same time. My eyes started to burn and I felt a tear trickle down my cheek quickly wiping it away I tried to get myself back together but he noticed.
He reached his arm and put it round me "you can tell me anything you want ok" "I'm here for you". I felt like I mislead him - there was nothing for me to tell him so I giggled "there's actually nothing wrong , I'm just a really emotional person and I guess what you said was really sweet" he let out a laugh of relief and we kind of just got really cosy in the car: my head leaning lightly on his toned chest and his arm resting round my neck. It was silence but it was beautiful. The lights of the city, the stars, the light evening breeze - everything was perfect. "Neymar, I feel the same way too.." I said in complete tranquility, it just came out unintentionally but it was true " Eu sei (I know)" he whispered into my hair and kissed the top of my head. A smile grew on my face and I put my hand in his, feeling the mutual love. Just then my phone started buzzing in my bag and I shot up and started rummaging through my bag to get to it "hello?" I reached for the door handle and stepped out to which Neymar quickly followed me out. "Hi Milena darling , I called home but Georgio told me you was out , you're never out this late is everything ok my dearest?" It was my mom, we speak nearly everyday as she finds it difficult to be away from her only child all the way in America and I'm here in Spain "yeah mom, I'm fine how are you and dad, I've just come out for a walk that's all.." I hated lying to my family "yes sweetheart were all fine here but your friend Georgio has just come to see you and you've left him at home alone? Are you sure everything's fine? .." My mom sounded concerned and that made me really uneasy , I didn't know what to say "uhm, yeah I asked him if he wanted to come out too but he told me he was jet lagged so I've come out on my own and I'm just gonna go to a grocery store to pick some things up too, everything's ok mom don't worry" I really wanted this phone all to end - I hated how I was lying to my mom "ok honey, I'll FaceTime you tomorow morning since your father and I have some things we'd like to discuss with you but other than that I love you , good night my dearest" "ok that's fine,love you too mom, good night" and we'd hung up. I turned to see Neymar leaning on his car bonnet looking at me , I smiled at him and joined to sit on the car. "So tell me about yourself" I asked and waited for a reply "well, I'm a footballer for Barcelona, I'm Brazilian , I have one sister and... I have a son, a beautiful little boy called Davi Lucca... Milena? Are you ok with that? I turned quickly heartbroken that he even thought I would be annoyed of him having a son " Neymar, if you think that I would be put off you because of your most precious thing in life then you're wrong , I'm so happy for you and that you have a beautiful little boy - you know , most people would've wanted to abort the baby at a young age like yours so if anything I look up to you for keeping your child and providing such a good life for him" again his face was lit up with happiness which made his eyes look very Chinky and adorable "what sort of an angel has God sent to me" he whispered as he looked up in to the sky and then at me to stroke my cheek "now you tell me about yourself, señorita" he said ever so charmingly like a flirtatious youth.
"Well, as you know now I'm a doctor, I'm an only child, I'm also Brazilian but I was born and raised in LA, the guy you saw at my place is my bestest friend in the whole world, Ive grown up with him and he's the best brother I never had. I can be really stubborn ; I know what I want and I always get it and that's me in under a minute" we both laughed at my rushed introduction "You're perfect" he said as moved my hair behind my ear and moved his eyes down my eyes to the bottom of my hair "how many girls have you said that to?" I teased "generally the girls say that to me.." He laughed with his tongue slightly bit under his teeth. "That's lovely" I smiled but not too pleased that he was showing off about the female attention he gets "somebody is jealous" he laughed even harder and wrapped his arms round me. It felt almost as if we'd been together for years, I loved him. "I don't share what's mine so if we belong to each other then that's it- listen I think you should know this : I don't believe in these short relationships that don't last very long, if you seriously want to start seeing me then I will only continue if you're serious - Neymar will this be a serious relationship?" I had been pulled back down to reality from cloud 9 , I felt a bit uneasy - what if nothing was actually real. He looked deeply in to my eyes "Milena , I promise you that I'm very serious - God damn me the day I feel this way towards another woman" he reached around his neck and removed his thin black leather necklace "here , I want you to keep this - just so you can always feel me next to you - never take it off" he moved my hair back and put the necklace delicately on me. I felt so strange , I felt cold and I could feel shivers running down my spine. A kiss on the back of my neck "I love you" he whispered. I held tightly to the necklace around my neck and closed my eyes. His arms slowly wrapped around me and I was warm again. My eyes felt heavier than ever before, "Neymar" his name was on my lips, I was tired and weak "I'm here ... I'll always be right here" he whispered into the back of my neck, I saw nothing but fuzzy images of the city and with that the weight of my eyelids had become too heavy for me to bare , forcing me into a deep deep sleep.
