Working for a football club

CHAPTER 41:gallery

STEFANO'S P.O.V
Alice was always distant but since we got to Barcelona she was even more distant like she had been here before and something bad happened that she didn't want to talk about. With these thoughts I fell asleep and I woke up when Alice was back she wasn't late she just got out I hope.

"Stef you will be late get up "she said with her usual sweet voice, she was an angel,I concluded "ok I will, kiss "I asked and she kissed me really quickly and then went to the bathroom.

I left for the meeting and it was boring but I tried to pay attention.

When I got back I found Alice sitting outside and drawing she loved it and it made her happy.

"Oh hey I didn't notice you, how was the meeting? "she asked still concentrated on her painting.
"Boring, so care to get dressed and go to some gallery you mentioned "I said and she nodded, then she went to find her dress.

She ended up wearing a turquoise short dress with black sandals and she braided her hair to the left but she didn't apply any make up she hated it.

I drove us and she looked nervous "hey it's going to be ok you are a charming person and they will love you "I said and she smiled.

The paintings were nice we were wandering around since I didn't like art when Alice froze and I followed her gaze.

"Omg these are the players from fc barcelona I would really like to meet them care to join? "I asked her eagerly, she took a deep breath and nodded.

"guys I am a big fan of you would you mind if I took a picture with all of you "I asked and they nodded.

"Awesome, Alice mind taking a picture? "I gave her my phone and she smiled.

"Sure "she replied and she took the picture.

"So what is your name? "Marc asked and I looked at him. "my name is Stefano nice to meet every one of you "I smiled and then I kissed Alice but she didn't kiss me back "what's wrong dear? "I asked concerned.

"I just need some fresh air that's all, but alone "she said and I nodded then she left pretty quickly and she didn't look back.

ALICE'S P.O.V
I lied, I thought I could face them but I couldn't do it it was just too much and when I saw Neymar all the feelings I had for him came back and it was mostly rage but there was love too and I thought that I had buried those feelings a long time ago.

I was sitting there alone when someone touched my shoulder making me get up "what do you want tell me? "I asked him "Whoah slow down, I haven't seen you in a long time how are you "he said and I was mad at myself for loving him for wanting to kiss him so badly "I'm fine and unfortunately so are my wrists "I said looking away.

"what do you mean "he said and I sighed "there is no scar look "I said showing my wrist at him "and now I don't have a reminder of you made me do neymar "I said and left to go grab a drink.

"Make that two "he said after I ordered a glass of Martini "I thought you weren't supposed to drink "I said looking at him "well one every once in a while isn't going to hurt me "he said and I gulped not being able to handle his presence near me.

"So I heard you own a company now "neymar said and I nodded "my parents died so I was the only member available "I said and our martinis were done "so how is rafaella holding up? "I asked him since she was married to my brother.

"She's ok they are living in London and I think rafaella is going to be a mother "he said and I nodded "that is going to make me an aunt and it's going to make you an uncle "I said and he nodded.

"Why did you leave "he suddenly asked and I wasn't comfortable talking about it but I sighed and took a sip from my drink "you made me, you were the only person who could make me stay but instead you made me leave since you told me you don't like me there was nothing for me here "I said and left and found Stef talking on the phone.

"What? "I asked him as he kissed me "something came up with the company in San Francisco and I have to leave right now, I'm so sorry for ruining this for you but it's urgent "he said and left in a hurry. Leaving me with no one so I sat down hopefully to waist my time.
