the rest of the car ride, Carlos made no more moves, which dont get me wrong i was happy he stopped cause i was getting hot and bothered. But also, i missed his touch on me.

i dont even know what im saying at this point, i let out a "mmph" noise as i climbed out of the car behind Lando, us talking as we made our way in the restaurant behind Carlos,Charles and Pierre.

We all scattered to the table where everyone else was already at, sitting next to Max, just my luck as Carlos was sat in front of me.

Me and Max we're talking for a bit after ordering our drinks as everyone figured out what they were gonna order, then i felt a tap on my shoulder, turning as my Smile and eyes widened. "Kylian!" i said leaping up from my seat, pulling him into a tight hug "Olivia! its been so long!" we hugged for a little longer before i pulled away, cheeks red in embarrassment as everyone at the table's attention fell on us "right sorry, guys this is Kylian, my friend, kylian these are all of ny friends" i said as some waved, others said hello. Charles stood up making his way over to us "mate, its been too long" he said as him and kylian bro hugged. "it really has" he smiled "what brings you to Bora Bora?" i asked curiously "uhm, actually me and some of the team and their wifes are on vacation" he said, the uncertainty in his voice making my heart drop.

"oh?" i muttered as Charles also picked up on what Kylian was saying. "Dont worry ange, he hasn't seen you, i only saw you because i was on my way back to the restroom" Kylian reassured me as Charles rubbed my back comfortingly. "oh yeah, no im fine, but send leo and anto over here secretly, i havent seen either of them in months." i said changing the subject, growing uncomfortable as both boys noticed, they could read me like a book. "yeah okay i will, we have to hang out sometime, how long are you here for?" Kylian said as he and Charles bro hugged, bidding their goodbyes as Charles walked away, "two weeks" i said with a small smile "oh me too, ill text you okay? leo and anto will be showing up here soon" he mumbled in my hair as he pulled me in another hug, pressing a kiss to my forehead as i nodded "okay, bye ky" "bye liv" he smiled before walking away.

I sighed as i returned back to my seat, the reality that me and neymar were gonna be in the same place for two weeks setting in, as i felt my stomach churn. "you okay?" Max asked softly as i snapped out of my thoughts, sending him a tight lipped smile as i nodded "yeah, thank you" i said as he placed his hand on one of my mine, squeezing it. "of course, the waiter came by while you were catching up so i ordered what you said what you wanted" Max explained with a smile, my smile now genuine. "you, sir are a godsend. thank you" i said as he chuckled, before any other words could be exchanged i heard the all too familiar squeal from behind me.

snapping my head as i got up, immediately throwing my hands around the women, this time luckily we were further away from the table so there was no attention on us, well there was, from three sets of eyes apparently, but only two of them being drivers.

"anto!! my girl, how ive missed you!" i gushed as we pulled away, before leo pulled me in a hug aswell. "leo, its good to see you again" i said with a smile as we talked for a while before the couple returned to their table and i to mine.

my phone pinged as i unlocked it.

you okay? your mood changed after that ninja turtle left, anyone i have to beat up?

i smiled at this one ,shooting a quick response

im okay, thank you, and no fighting.
we have to keep that pretty face in check

i pressed send, looking up as Carlos unlocked his phone, watching as his eyes scanned over the text, a smirk making its way on his face as his eyes met mine, before he typed on his phone.

your pretty face is the only
one i care about, carino

i bit my lip, suppressing my smile before shutting my phone off.

breakfast went by smoothly, all of us were leaving the restaurant, me and carlos walked behind all of them by about ten steps, as we stayed behind to thank our waitress for her service and both individually gave her a tip.

We were walking towards the exit of the restaurant, rest of the boys waiting in the car as my name was called, by the voice i once called home.

I grip Carlos's forearm, my eyes pleading with him to keep walking "come on, keep walking" i said as his grip on my shoulder tightened, pulling me closer. "who's calling you? the reason you were so upset after that footballer left?" Carlos whispered to me as he looked down in my eyes, our pace increasing as the voice called again.

"yes, my ex. so please lets pick up the pace yeah?" i suggested as we finally got out of the restaurant after what felt like forever. The voice didn't stop though, in fact it grew closer.

Come on Neymar, just fuck off why won't you?

"come on carino, get in" Carlos muttered comfortingly as he helped me swiftly get in the car, his gaze on Charles the second i was safely in the car ",when i get in, be ready to pull out" he said loud enough for the whole car to hear. My eyebrows furrowed as i registered what he said "wait—Carlos what are you-" before i could finish my sentence he was shutting the car door again.

My eyes widening in horror as he approached the man i haven't seen in two years. He looked through the car window as Carlos talked to him, although his volume was obvious he wasn't exactly talking. My breath hitched as i made eye contact with him, waiting for the pit to come in my stomach, waiting for the unbearable chest pain, but it never came.

I looked at him, the man i would've dropped everything for at one point, the man i was in love with for so so long, the man who used to know me better than i knew myself. and i felt absolutely nothing, i didn't even know what to say, for the first time in my life, i was left speechless.

It seemed as everything moved in slowmo as Carlos punched Neymar in the jaw, sending him a few steps backwards, surely that will leave a nasty bruise. Before Neymar could retaliate, Pierre was already out of the passenger seat, pulling Carlos back towards the car as i seriously could not believe what was happening right now.

Pierre softly shoved Carlos in the backseat, as Neymar shook his head, walking back into the restaurant.
