joao sped back to the hotel. we had to get ready for the team dinner as fast as we could. the whole car ride to the hotel was filled with tension. after that kiss i'm not sure if our relationship will ever be the same. maybe thats for the better— or maybe it's not. i've never really been good with change.
he was flying rapidly through the wet roads. our lips were a deep shade of wine due to the numbingly cold rain. his eyes were on the road and mine were too. as much as i wanted to get lost in those brown eyes of his, i couldn't. i couldn't hold eye contact with him—not after that kiss. the car ride was quiet, not awkward. it was never awkward with joão and i. i zoned out, staring at the road as i drowned in my thoughts.
before i knew it joão and i were running into the hotel as fast as we could, making sure no one saw us.
especially cameron.

as i got into my hotel room i checked the time. the dinner was at 7:00 and it was 5:50. i took one of the quickest showers of my life and i threw on a black, silk dress. i blow dried my hair and styled it. i did a fast, effortless makeup look and out the door i was.
i wasn't exactly sure how the dinner would be. i was definitely excited to meet and talk with georgina but i was a little on edge knowing that joao would be there.
i met with my parents and cameron in the lobby and we walked into the dinner at 7:00 sharp. while we were walking there we were all talking about how stoked we were about the first game tomorrow. they're playing against switzerland. my mom and i have always had a special bond. she's one of those people that's always smiling and has great energy. she calmed me down without even trying. i was laughing with her on our way to the dinner but as soon as i saw him, i froze.
my chest tightened up and my heart dropped. i don't know why i felt like this. i should be happy. why was i nervous around him? was he nervous around me? it was never like this between us. maybe i shouldn't have kissed him. the familiar feeling of his eyes meeting mine washed over me once again. my face went pale as i walked over the table with the rest of my family.
