chapter two- coco

a few days later

it had been three days since sofia had moved in. she had settled in really nicely. sofia hasn't spoke to her mother or joão since she moved in, as she forgot. she hasn't even seen joão at all. her cat, coco seemed to explore a lot. coco is a two year old british shorthair cat. she has grey, fluffy hair and ever-so friendly, she was sofia's best friend.

right now, sofia hadn't even seen coco in at least ten hours, which was so odd of her. anyways, she brushed it off. until, it worried her to the point she couldn't eat.

she walks outside, to check if she's there. no coco.

"COCO! COME BACK, WHERE ARE YOU?" sofia shouts at the top of her lungs, about to cry.

she looks around, many tears come down her eyes. she didn't even care who saw or heard, even joão.

all of a sudden, sofia passes out. she hadn't eaten in hours, due to coco's disappearance.

a few hours pass by, sofia wakes up in somebody else's house. confused, she opens her eyes and finds herself on somebody's couch. trying to not make noise, she reaches to her phone in her pocket to check the time. 00:21. she'd been here on this random persons couch sleeping, FOR 6 HOURS. suddenly, the door opens. it was joão cancelo.

sofia looks down at the floor, scared. even if it's a famous person like, joão cancelo, sofia was aware of stranger danger. she doesn't know what this man is capable off, or barely who he is.

"oh, sorry if i disturbed you. i took you in my house because you passed out. i heard you shouting for your cat. i've found her, she's sleeping right now. if you need something, tell me." joão says, ever so softly.

"thank you so much, thank you for finding coco for me! i don't know what i would've done without you." sofia mumbles. "do you have any water? i'm really thirsty."

"of course i do! i'll bring you a glass now." joão replied, whilst moving a small strand of sofia's brunette hair out her face.

a moment later, sofia feels something walking on her. coco.

"COCO!" she says with happiness, trying not to be too loud.

sofia cuddles her gorgeous cat, as she purrs at her owner.

"don't ever do that again coco! you scared me!" she whispers, whilst scratching coco's ear.

joão comes in and smiles, whilst laying the glass of water next to sofia.

"thank you so much!" sofia says, smiling.

"it's fine! i'm so glad your happy because of your cat." he replies, softly.

he sits next to sofia on the couch and pulls up her sleeve ever so slightly.

"i think i forgot to tell you but, when you fell, you must've grazed your arm. don't worry though, i bandaged it up." he says.

"thank you. your such a lifesaver joão!" sofia replies, cheerfully.

the two just smile at each other, as sofia drops her head, due to her tiredness, even though she had just had 6 hours sleep. coco sits next to her head, whilst joão lays his head on the other side of the couch.
