"JAYLA!" My boyfriend Matt screamed.

"Mhm?"

"Remember you have a job."

"Oh riiiiiiightttt."I woke up per usual, showered, washed my face, brushed my teeth, fixed my hair and makeup, got dressed and left. I landed a job as a casting manager  and director about 4 years ago and loved how life was going. I had always felt secure in routine and this job promised just that.

It was amazing, my dream job in my dream city. My life was going great, nothing making me feel the slightest bit of negativity.

I walked into my job and picked up my files for the day.

"I'm so jealous of your schedule." My coworker Marlin said to me.

"Why? What do you have?" 

"Office work."

"Reaaaal fun."

"Oh yeah." He said walking away.

I got to my room for the day and waited for 9 to roll around. I was casting an actor for a charity football stream and loved the frame for the ad. It would start with a close up of the actor shuffling with the ball doing a couple skills, then would transition to kids playing ball in outdoor fields and the actor joining. 

I was day dreaming of the ad as the actors came in, lining up shoulder to shoulder. I scanned the attendance list for names as one caught my eye.

Neymar.

I looked up to see his familiar snarky look, he winked at me after our seconds of eye contact  and I decided to try to treat him like any other actor.

"Alright guys you all have 5 minutes to prep whatever you're going to be showing me."

"Um miss can I ask you something in private?" He said in such an innocent voice I almost forgot this mans real character.

"Sure."

I walked with him to right outside of the room and stopped looking into those beautiful hazel eyes before I snapped out of it.

"What."

"I just wanted to make sure you would at least make sure to try to make it seem like one of them could compete with me."

"Mr. Da Silva, you never know what one of them could do."

"Don't act like you don't know me princesa, but I do know they couldn't do anything better than me."

"But I know you know that too, just try not to let them down. I know you won't be too harsh, like the good girl I remember." He whispered to me, pulling me close to his waist.

"Neymar, just go back inside. I'll be in." 

"Whatever you say J." He said laughing to himself and going back.

I walked back in shortly after and explained how it would all work.

"Ok so we're going to start off with skills and after you all go 5-10 out of the 15 of you will be cut."

"Then we'll test your chemistry with the kids and whoever does best will get hired. Alright?"

"Yes." They all said.

[After they all went]

While considering who I'd cut I remembered Neymar, the way he flowed with the ball and had complete control with it. The way he knew how it would move and bounce off of his touch. 

It was beautiful, like a dance.

Alright if I call your name leave the room you've been cut.

"Teo, Jago, Ines, Jonas, Marcus, James, Jonah, Chris, Ian, and Amias."

"Thank you for auditioning."

After they all left I continued.

"Alright my final 5 Neymar, Jacob, Josiah, Eder, and Fabian I'm going to bring in the kids you'll be playing with in the ad and see how you do with them I'd like to see Eder first please."

I brought in the kids and this man started attacking the kids like it was a World Cup final.

"Stop, thank you for coming but you're cut."

"Jacob next."

He played with them much better but was still very frantic and jittery.

"Thank you for coming but you're cut. Have a great day."

"Josiah now please."

Josiah was almost lazy, he didn't even touch the ball and didn't do much at all. He looked like it was a burden to play with them.

"Fabian please."

Fabian played great with the kids but it looked very fast, like he was in a rush. I wanted to keep him there in hopes to not have to cast Neymar.

"Alright go Neymar."

He began, receiving a pass from one of the kids and rainbow flicked it over and to one of his teammates, getting a couple of shocked looks from them. The kid scored and they all celebrated after, hugging and high fiving.

"Thankyou both for coming but Fabian I have to let you go. Have a nice day."

"I told you I'd win didn't I?"

"It's not a competition."

"Too bad I still won." He said with a smile.

"When do I come back?"

"2 days from now, same time, place, and room."

"Alright beautiful, I'll see you soon."

"You have my number for when you need it." He whispered into my ear.

"Tchau."

"Tchau."

He walked out and I couldn't help but think about him. 

What an asshole. I thought.

God why did he have to be right? This was just the fork in the road I DIDN'T need. Life was great and he came back, paradise stripped from my fingers and into his. He always loved teasing me, triggering a reaction from me was simple fun for him.

And now he was my work life. 

Fun.
