Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 72

"Olivia! Olivia!"

I don't want to wake up, I thought to myself. I want to keep listening to this dreamy voice calling my name forever. It has such a musicality, such a heavenly quality that I would be content listening to it for the rest of my life. "Olivia! David!"

David? Why would he be calling for David? He should only call my name. This is my dream.

"Olivia! David! Where are you?"

I don't want to wake up.

"Oh my God." The voice was suddenly much closer. "Olivia? Baby, are you okay? Open your eyes."

I should, I thought. The voice was telling me to.

I opened my eyes and Neymar slowly came to focus. He breathed a sigh of relief. He looked like a dream but he was real. His hands were on my shoulders and his face looked worried.

"Neymar?" I heard someone shift next to me.

"Are you guys okay?" Neymar asked glancing at David.

"Never better." David answered. "Glad you found us."

"Olivia?" Neymar looked at me questioningly.

I realized I hadn't yet spoken. "I'm fine." I whispered and he leaned down to wrap me in a tight hug.

"You had me so worried." He whispered in my ear. "Don't do that to me ever again."

"I'm sorry." I started tracing circles with my finger on his back. He pulled back and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"Are you ready to head back?" He asked me.

I nodded and he started helping David put everything back in his backpack. I crawled from under the bush and tried standing up with the help of a nearby tree branch. My whole body hurt as I tried to walk a few steps. Neymar was by my side in a second. "Can you walk?" He asked me.

I nodded. "I'll be fine." I smiled reassuringly although I felt far from it. He eyed me carefully before joining David once again in gathering our things.

"Our clothes are still wet, there's no point in putting them on." David said as he shoved our shirts in his backpack. "Besides it's sunny now."

"If you're cold—" Neymar started.

"No, no I'm okay." I said.

"What happened guys?" He asked us as he gave his hand to David and pulled him up. David let out a groan.

"We got lost." David told him and then sneezed loudly.

"We wanted to call you but we didn't have signal in our phones so we decided to head towards a shelter."

"You know you are nowhere near one, right? I've been looking for you for almost two whole hours." Neymar said looking at his watch.

"Our map was old. The trails have changed and then the rain started and we lost the path." I said as David sneezed again.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. It's nothing." He said quickly but his nose was red and he looked like he had difficulty breathing.

"You guys are sure you can walk? It's a long way." Neymar asked.

We both nodded. I was ready to get out of here.

"Is everyone else alright?" I asked Neymar.

"Far from it."

"Reckless. Irresponsible. Immature. Foolish." Scolari said looking at us.

"Is he gonna go through the whole list of synonyms?" I heard Peter mutter.
