COINCIDENCE - JOÃO FÉLIX

22. important

ADELINA'S POV
i woke up in the middle of the night, feeling choked up. i got out of bed, walking over to the balcony.

it was a bit chilly outside, probably because i was wearing a crop top.

i felt joão hugging me from behind, setting his chin on my shoulder. "are you okay?" he asked, worried.

i turned around, facing him. "yeah." i nodded with a small smile, he smiled back before pulling me into a hug.

"let's go back to sleep." he spoke softly, taking my hand in his. i climbed onto the bed next to him, we were facing each other, with smiles.

"when do you think we can go public?" i asked as he looked into my eyes. "whenever you want."

"i just don't want the paparazzi to find out first, it's so stupid." i chuckled, lightly. he nodded, agreeing with my statement.

"we'll see." he said before pecking my lips.

i began to doze off in his arms as he played with my hair.

—

"can i go with you to practice?" i asked, looking over at him as he was changing.

"of course!" he said, smiling at me. i took a quick shower before changing into my outfit.

i decided to wear a random oversized shirt and some shorts. i put my hair into a high ponytail and took my hat with me. it was super sunny and hot out today, i was dreading it.

i took my phone and purse before walking out of the room with him. i hugged his arm as we waited for the elevator.

i was still a bit sleepy but i wanted to be there for him today.

"did you sleep well?"  he asked, walking into the elevator with me. "very!" i turned my head to see his cute smile.

"i'm glad." he said, kissing the top of my head. i smiled, holding his hand.

the elevator door opened up, he lead us to the bus where the rest of the team was. everyone was saying good morning and waving at us.

i smiled at georgina, waving at her. she waved back, smiling. i turned around after getting into my seat, clara was asleep on andre's shoulder.

i let joão take the window seat since he loved it, if you couldn't tell. he lied his head on my lap, closing his eyes and crossing his arms.

he opened up his eyes for a split second to steal a glance at me. i smiled at him making him smile back. he reached out his hand, holding my necklace.

i leaned down, pecking his lips before playing with his hair as he dozed off to sleep. the drive to the stadium was more than ten minutes so i let him sleep on my lap.

i admired his face as he was asleep, he's so beautiful. i have probably said this a million times but he really is beautiful. the most prettiest guy i have ever laid my eyes on.

he uncrossed his arms, taking my other hand in his before going back to sleep. i chuckled lightly, he's so adorable.

i put my head back, sleeping for a couple of minutes as well until joão tapped me. "do you want to stay on the bus?" he asked, worried.

i shook my head, waking up. i took my phone before leaving my seat, he held my hand as we walked out of the bus and followed everyone.

i sat down on one of the seats, in front of the field. georgina brought the kids, asking if she could sit with me. i of course nodded and she gladly sat next to me.

clara came over, sitting on my other side. it was honestly kind of awkward between us, we haven't talked much since coming here and the last time we spoke it didn't go very well. but, she also doesn't know anything so i can't blame her.
