'I truly am happy for you guys.' Kylian said.

We were all in mine and Luca's office, talking about the lie detector we just took.

'You have nothing to worry about.' Neymar said pushing him playfully. 'Honestly.' he smiled.

'It's not like we care anyways.' I said laughing.

'Ouch.' Luca added, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed.

After talking a bit more, Luca decided to sort out some papers, Neymar took a nap, while me and Kylian went to the cafeteria.

'Didn't I tell you?' he asked laughing.

'Tell me what?'

'That Luca likes you.' he shrugged his shoulders.

'He could have been talking about anyone.' I shrugged my shoulders. 'You're exaggerating.'

'Am I?'

The cafeteria was closed, making me sigh and rest my back on the doors, facing Kylian.

A smirked appeared on my face. 'The machine was broken, no?' I raised my eyebrows. 'That's what you said.' I shrugged my shoulders.

'Are you really using this?' he shook his head chuckling.

'You said it, not me.' I took a sit on the floor and brought my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them.

'What the hell are you doing?' he asked confused.

'Sitting down?' I replied.

'Here?'

'Yes?'

He took a seat next to me. Both of us sitting in silence, my mind all over the place.

'What are you thinking about?' he broke the silence after a few minutes.

'Nothing.' I said turning my head towards him.

'Come on.' he smiled. 'You can talk to me.' he said softly.

'I just...' I paused. 'I always used to do this. Just sit in silence and think.' I smiled. 'I haven't done it since I got to Paris. Mainly because I haven't had that much alone time.' I shrugged my shoulders.

'So now I'm invisible too?' he chuckled.

'No.' I shook my head laughing. 'But you don't mind sitting in silence. I've realised that about you.'

'Oh, you have?'

'Mhmhm.' I smiled, turning my head back, staring into nothingness.

'I'm glad you feel that way.'

'Don't let it get to your head.' I said standing up and extending my hand towards him.

'Thanks.' he grabbed my hand and helped himself up.
