Resisting Temptation

[13] Scandal

You looked at Joao with a worried face. He could tell you were uncomfortable.
Joao: Ok, vamos nos afastar e falaremos sobre isso outra hora. Obrigado. .
(Okay let's back away and we'll talk about this another time. Thank you)
They moved and Joao helped you get through the crowd. You glanced at your dad who had his arms crossed and looked at you in surprise. The rest of the team joined him confused, except for Diego. He had his jaw clenched and was glaring at you. You walked with Joao to his locker room where you sat on a chair.
Joao: Ei, você está bem? Sinto muito por isso. Eu não achei que causaria tal escândalo
(Hey you okay? I'm sorry about that. I didn't think I would cause such a scandal)
You: it's fine. But Joao you really didn't have to dedicate that to me. Now everyone is going to think the worst of me. I'm supporting Mexico and you know that.
Joao: I didn't think much of it y/n.
You: you should've.
Joao: are you mad at me?
You: yes! Joao my dad, the guys they're-
Joao: y/n, who cares what they think?
You: I DO JOAO.
Joao: y/n don't worry about it. I'll clear up the situation.
You: it's not gonna be simple. You kissed me in front of everyone. If you hadn't done that we could've slipped past and said that you just found me attractive or something. And I wouldn't be involved in this.
Joao: but you kissed back y/n. So it's not entirely my fault.
You: I didn't want to embarrass you or myself by saying no or pushing you away.
He frowned.
Joao: I'm sorry. But everyone had to know that I only have eyes for one person.
You furrowed your brows.
Joao: y/n you deserved that winning score. I cant stop thinking about you after that one time we bumped into each other. Are you gonna deny to me that you don't feel anything?
You tried to say something but nothing came out.
Joao: y/n your uncertainty, is making me question if-
You: no. I'm not gonna deny it. Because I too haven't stopped thinking about you.
Joao: see. What is there to hide then?
You: Joao it's just that I'm not completely sure about what I feel.
Joao: what do you mean?
You: I have to be able to prove to you that my feelings are true and sincere.
Joao: then prove it to me.
You looked at him cupping his face and embracing him in a hug. He hugged back placing his head in the crack between your shoulder and ear.
You: I- I can't.
Joao: why not?
You: Joao I- I'm gonna get myself in trouble.
Joao: with who?
You thought about Kevin and Diego.
You: Joao I just can't.
Joao: what's stopping you?
You sighed.
You: listen right now I've been feeling a lot of things and I can't quite detail them out. Because there's others wh-
Joao: there's someone else?
You looked deep in his eyes.
You: I don't know.
Joao: you don't know? Y/n tell me if there's someone else and I'll be on my way.
You: that's the thing. I'm not sure if-
Joao: be honest please.
You: my dad is probably looking for me, I should go. We can continue this another time.
Joao pulled you by your arm.
Joao: y/n?
You shook your head no slowly.
You: sorry.
You left him alone in the locker room while you ran towards the opposite side of the field. You walked past the team feeling shame . They all stared at you. You didn't even feel like talking to them or riding home with your dad so you decided to call an Uber. Once it arrived you hoped in and asked it to take you home. Once there you went up to your room and locked yourself inside.
You: I'm so screwed. What the fuck am I thinking? First Diego, then Kevin then Joao? What am I doingggg?
You circled around your room thinking. Then you got a call from Kevin.
You: fuck.
You threw your phone knowing that he had probably seen the news of you and Joao kissing on live television. Your phone started blowing up with tags where they had @ you in so many posts.
You: what am I going to do.
Then you got another call but from Joao this time. You didn't answer either. You needed to escape reality for a bit. You walked into the kitchen where all the car keys were hung. You choose a discrete vehicle which ended up being a Chevy pick up truck with tinted windows. You took it to an old spot where you and Diego used to hang out when you guys were dating. It was a hiking park that had a small bench hidden near a tree . You walked up there and stayed there observing the city and the cars. You went on your phone and saw that Kevin had spammed you and Joao had texted you.

Joao
I made a private reservation at my uncles restaurant so we can talk about this. It's at 4.  I'll be waiting for you.
And he sent you the location.
You: might as well fix this mess.

A/N: hiiii I decided to post early today 😭😭
