Alana's Pov

"Are you sure you wanted to go?" I ask for Neymar's confirmation about something crazy he just suggests.

"Yeah, also it's been a while since i went back home. You don't know how much i miss my home country's air." Neymar keep insisting. "We can crash their wedding together, come on!"

"We? You mean i'm joining you to Brazil?"

He nods, "Of course! You will be on holiday next week right? I've told Kylian about this already and he's okay."

"How about the plane ticket and accommodations? I don't even remember where do i put my passport."

"Do you think i'm broke or something? I'm the one who will bring you there, don't worry about all the expenses i'll take care of it." Geez, sometimes i forgot Neymar is a well-known person.

"Okay, i want to join you but in one condition." I gave him a term. "I will make a full itinerary about places we're about to visit there. We'll take this trip as our holiday and we have to the live the best of it, how's it sound?"

"Fine, but don't do something stupid okay? You might ask Rafa for places recommendation, she knew Brazil with her eyes closed.

"Deal."

At most time, i don't understand what's going on inside of Neymar's brain. He just like to make a spontaneous decision out of nowhere like attending to Bruna's wedding at Brazil. He said it was the part of closure he needs to witness. It's been 10 months since the last time Neymar went back to his home country and he wants to see his big family; especially his beloved son, Davi Lucca. Neymar didn't allow Davi to visit Paris at first because he doesn't want his son to see his condition, so they haven't seen each other for a long time after the accident. Meanwhile, Neymar's family like his mother, father, and his cousins likes to visit Paris every months with Rafaella so i'm already familiar with the sight of them.

During days before we take off to Brazil, i have done my itineraries research with Ali and Dr. Antoine about places that was safe for Neymar to visits. I'm really excited to went on this little adventure with him, especially Ali will also joining us to this trip. Since i don't really have much savings to buy more stuffs that i should've bring when going overseas, Neymar sort of give me one of his credit cards to shop whatever things i want whether online or offline even though i'm not going to use it all. Today, i will be packing my suitcases at my house along with Kylian and Leyna that wants to help. This will be the very first time, the three of us are in the same room together.

"How can your rich boss take you away from us right on your birthday? I want to celebrate it with you!" Leyna frowns at me, she had no idea who i am working to and that's all because of Kylian's idea. He hasn't told Leyna about his job and his famous surname, so i have no other choice but to follow his scenario.

"We're not living in the 90's anymore, you can facetime her whenever you want." Kylian joining in. "Let my cousin have her moment with her hot boss and handsome work colleague."

"What? So, that's why you rarely went home and prefer to stay at your boss' house? You're naughty, Alana."

I pinch Kylian's stomach jokingly, "You put too much words in her head. This is not a Wattpad book trope where someone like me could actually pull two attractive guys at the same time, i'm not y/n."

"What the fuck is y/n?" Kylian confused by the term he just discovered today.

"You're such an uncultured swine, it's a popular reference on the internet. Do you live under the rock or something?" Leyna replies in her mother tongue because she's finding it hard to argue in French. I lowkey love it when they starts bickering in front of me.
