Double Trouble // Neymar Jr //

..Fifty-Eight..Babies and Birthdays..

"You are my witnesses," declares the Lord,
"and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me."

-Isaiah 43:10

May God be with you and may He dwell with you! Jesus Loves you! He died for you and rose again on The Third Day! Dedicate your lives to Him! He is Good! Infinitely! God is The God of all gods. Always!

"The ice is fine! I promise you won't fall." Neymar motions me while holding out his hands as he balances well on his ice skates. It wasn't my idea to come to an ice skating rink, it was his. It was his bright idea that we would come here before my birthday rolled around in four days. Four awesome days.

But an ice rink?

I had nothing against his choice of where our date would be but ice rinks were never fun for me. Last time I had gone to one: I fell 11 times. 11. And I broke my thumb on the last fall. But that was three years ago but I was still panicking.

He ended up skating towards me and pulling me by my arms off of the ground onto solid ice. I yelped in terror, earning glares from others who happened to skate by us. I shut my eyes as Ney spun us both around, still holding me in case I fell. Which I can say I almost did.

"Let's spin again!" He exclaimed, leaving me no time to protest before spinning again, except this time was faster. I kept my eyes closed, folding my lips in. Ney just kept laughing and eventually I let out a quick laugh. It was fun, but I was terrified. "Again?" He asked me when my eyes opened, and he gave me a peck on my lips. "Or do you wanna skate around?" I shrugged. "It's your birthday soon! Make up your mind."

"Can we skate around? I'm dizzy." I told him as he looked the other way. "Hold my hand?" I asked him shyly. He grinned with a chuckle, holding my hand in his. I was really glad he was in a good mood, I hadn't found him like that lately. "Why are you such a good mood?" I asked him as we skated slowly.

"Why wouldn't I be?" He asked me as if I should know. "God's Good! I'm with my girl, we're ice skating, it's almost your birthday soon." he said and I blushed while nodding in agreement. "Are you in a good mood?" Ney asked me.

Of course.

"I'm great!" I screamed as we unexpectedly picked up speed--not we, Neymar did. "If I fall I'm taking you with me Ney!" I screamed as we skated faster, and all he did was laugh.

I couldn't say the last month between us has been this good, but neither were the other months. He was very on and off with me, at times he was very loving, and others he was cold. Like tonight he was being very loving, and I decided that maybe it was the right time to tell him what Leo told me I need to tell him. But the loving look in his eye said otherwise.

A couple who were ice skating stopped in front of us, making Ney and I stop abruptly and making us fall back. "Ney--" I rubbed my head as I saw Neymar staring ahead with his breath condensing in the air. All I saw was the woman gasping, and the man holding out a ring to her on one knee. I looked at my boyfriend with a smile. We just continued to sit on the ice as the woman said yes and people clapped, including me. Neymar smiled at the the couple hugging and kissing.

"That's so cute." I whispered, and he glanced at me. I always dreamed of a simple proposal, a cute one between whoever is my boyfriend and I. Nobody else, and then we pray on it afterwards.

I tried to imagine Neymar proposing, but I couldn't see his face in the daydream. I tried to but I couldn't. I struggled to imagine him but I couldn't and that scared me.

Neymar was sitting across from me at the dinner table, it was a quiet place. Not too many people recognized who we were, so we weren't disturbed as we ate a traditional Catalan pastry, crema catalana. It was good, I couldn't get enough of it.
