Mine

Chapter 15

Neymar's POV

I told you before that I have a good reason that I don't want to be in a relationship... so here is the story: I have been in a relationship for a long time. I was really in love with her and we were about to get married, but what happened was a shock. On the day I proposed to her, we got into a dangerous accident that took her life, and I survived ...

Since then, I have been feeling guilty and I still can't get over it. It's already been about two years, but I still haven't completely healed from that wound.

Actually, I do have feelings for Emma, but I'm still not ready and I'm afraid of hurting her feelings...

Emma's POV

I smiled and decided to enjoy the moment and profit from his attractive face, until I noticed a tear sliding down the length of his cheek. ''What is he thinking right now? It must be a sad thing''... I wanted to ask him, but decided to remain calm and respect his privacy.

I ran my hand through his hair and wiped his tears with the other hand. He didn't open his eyes but let me comfort him in silence, how painful it was to see him sad like that ...

After a few minutes, I finally decided to break the silence that had seemed to last for a very long time:

- Emma: You know what my mom tells me whenever I'm having a hard time ... you can cry tonight and I'll be your shoulder, and if that doesn't pass, I'll be your shoulder the next night and the night after and the night after I'll always be by your side

- Ney: ....

- Emma: These words make me feel safe and strong, that means that there is someone by my side no matter what happens. Whether I'm right or wrong ... So let me be your shoulder on those hard nights.

We were looking into each other's eyes, and with every second I felt Neymar's face was getting closer and closer to mine, his warm breath caressing my lips. I closed my eyes and...

- Ashraf: Emma whe .... Sorry (ready to leave)

- Ney: (sigh)

- Ashraf: sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt your moment guys

- Emma: (embarrassed) it's nothing ... good night guys

- Ney: Emma ....

- Emma: See you

She ran away; her face was red ... she's cute.

- Ashraf: I'm a big fan of your couple, bro...

- Neymar: (laughing) You know ... I'm not angry anymore after what you said right now

- Kylian: What couple?!

- ....

- Kylian: Let me guess, I met Emma in the living room... her face was red like a tomato... (devil smile)

- Neymar: Don't tell anyone guys, there is nothing between us

- Ashraf: yet ...

- Neymar: (laughing) yeah, for now

After a short conversation, we played parchisi and then everyone went to his room.
