Okay you could've sent me an emoji or whatever but you left me on read!? That's the most brutal thing a human being can do. He's so rude. Anyways, I checked my other notifications and decided to take a shower. I grabbed my stuff and entered the shower. It was calm and relaxing after a stressful day. After I was done, I changed into my brother's oversized clothes for pajamas and did my skincare. I can't let my skin break. 

I left the bathroom and decided to go to João's room since I was bored. I knocked 3 times and entered. 

"Whatchu doin'?" I asked him.

"I was playing FIFA. Wanna join?"

"Sure." I sat down next to him and he gave me his second controller. We played 3 games and I won 1 of them while João won 2 of them. But for your information, this is my 1st time playing FIFA so.

"That was definitely an off-side. This game is rigged." I yelled.

"As a professional football player, that was not." João replied.

"Shut up." I replied.

We played a couple more games before I had to get my beauty sleep. I walked out of his room and went to mine and plopped on it. I grabbed my phone to scroll around Insta when I saw that Kylian followed me. I wasn't gonna be mean so I followed him back. I guess this is one step for showing the world we're a couple.

I heard my phone ringing at 5 AM. I groaned and picked up my phone from my night table. Why would someone call me this late? I flipped my phone so I could see it. The white blind light were blinding me as my eyes weren't fully focused yet. I read the caller ID to see it was Melissa. I quickly swiped accept and placed my phone to my ear.

"Hey Joana! I was just letting you know that Paris Saint-Germain, the team Kylian plays for is playing against Chelsea on Friday! Make sure you wear his jersey and be there." Melissa exclaimed. "Sorry about waking you up at.. 5 AM. I didn't realize the time difference." 

"It's fine but, Chelsea is my brother's team? I can't betray him like that." I groaned.

"I mean or you can just wear a normal shirt." She replied.

"What, no! I have to support my brother." I silent face palmed myself. 

"Fine. You can wear your brother's jersey for Friday. But on Sunday, your gonna go back to Paris with Kylian on his private jet. You need to start showing the world your man."

"What! Its only Wednesday. I can't leave my brother that quick!" I exclaimed.

"I'm sorry but this is part of your job. And you have a Chanel shoot on Thursday." She reminded me.

"Yep, I won't forget." I groaned to myself. 

"Bye Joana. Be prepared!"

"Bye Melissa." I ended the call with no emotion on my face. I think it was because everything hit me at once.

I placed my phone down on the nightstand and decided to get up. After all that news, I just couldn't sleep anymore. I put on my slippers and went to the kitchen. I decided to make myself avocado toast. There was barely anything in his fridge so that's the only thing I could make. 

I grabbed the avocado and smashes it while adding seasonings. I toasted my bread in the toaster and got it out to apply the avocado. After that, I poured myself coffee and started eating. I was watching TV and scrolling through Insta. I finished eating and decided to just chill for the rest of the day.

Now it was already 11:54. I decided to start getting ready so I won't be late to meet the "abuser." I changed to my outfit and untangled my hair so it won't look like I just got out of bed.

This was my outfit. I just tried to make an outfit with the clothes I saw at the top of my suitcase since I didn't wanna waste time digging for one. 

I brushed my teeth and did my make up and prepared my bag. By that time, It was already 12:42. I probably have to speed my way to Kylian's house. I mean, if I was just late for 3 or 4 minutes, it wouldn't be that bad right? 

I took João's car and drove to Kylian's house. It took about 15 minutes so I wasn't late. Thank goodness. 

I get out of the car and grab my bag while doing so. I lock the car and walk up to Kylian's house. It was a very nice house if I can say. I ring the doorbell 2 times before I saw a figure open the door. 

"Hey!" I smiled at him.

"Hi. Welcome in." He said emotionless. 

I entered the house he was borrowing for awhile and stopped. It looked gorgeous. I looked around and took in the scent. 

"Are you gonna stare around the house or are you gonna talk to me?" He asked.

"Désolée." (Sorry.) I apologized. I turned to look at him fully and saw what he actually looked like in real life. 

"You look nice." I simply smiled at him. 

"You too I guess?" He shrugged. Wow, what a great way to introduce each other. I followed him to the living room and sat on one of the couches. He sat on the opposite side and inspected me. It looked like he was studying me. Since he was staring at me, I decided to do the same. He was wearing a simple hoodie and some black pants. It was so casual but he looked like he nailed it. I didn't know he was gonna look this nice because I only imagined him as an "abuser." I know it's weird to look at people's hands but HIS HANDS were OMG. It was like unexplainable. It was veiny and handsome. I know people say don't judge a book by it's cover but that cover was UNBELIEVABLE.

"So what are we gonna do about this whole relationship thing?" I asked him.

"I'm not looking for a relationship. I don't know why but my agent decided to hook me up with you. This is just for the media, not us." He said harshly. Uhm, okay? Didn't need to be so rude.

"Uhm, yeah sure. That was the same thing for me too." I smiled softly.

"Well, do you have your stuff?" Kylian asked me looking around.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.
