Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 73

When I returned to my room, Marina was already on her bed, under the covers. "Peter is in the bathroom." She told me. "Oh and Neymar stopped by."

"Isn't he at practice?"

Marina raised her shoulders.

"I'm gonna swing by his room." I told her.

"I won't wait up." She joked halfheartedly. She too, looked extremely tired.

On the one hand I was glad that Scolari had dismissed us because my feet were barely holding me but on the other hand I felt bad that the players had to practice even if they were as exhausted as us. After all, Dani and Marcelo spend the whole night out there looking for us.

I sighed as I knocked on Neymar's door. He opened right away and stepped aside for me to come in.

"How come you aren't at practice?" I asked him after I gave him a kiss on the lips.

"With all that happened I forgot to tell you. They said I had to miss a few practices."

"Your ankle! I completely forgot!"

"It's okay." He told me as he led me to his bed and we sat down. He took my hands in his. "Scolari yelled at me for going in the park after the doctors told me to rest it though."

"I'm so sorry." I said.

"It's okay." He said again.

"How many practices do you have to miss?"

"They don't know yet."

"Is it just me or does it feel like the team is unraveling?"

Neymar put his arm around me and drew me closer. He kissed my temple and I rested my head on his chest. "It will all be fine, you'll see."

I spend the rest of the day in Neymar's room with him. His father along with all non-team personnel wasn't allowed in the training center now that we were on confinement on Scolari's orders and I had asked Marina to cover for me in case anyone came by, but I suspected no one would.

We were so tired that we went to bed right away. We settled on the bed, Neymar enveloping me in his arms as he recounted the events at the private clinic and the parking lot as well as his quest to locate us and I told him how we came to be lost and how we spend the night under the bush.

"I should probably put a GPS on you." He told me when I finished. "After all, this wasn't the first time."

I chuckled.

"You like keeping me on my toes don't you?" He continued, brushing the hair out of my eyes. "Not knowing whether you're alive is a bit much, though."

"C'mon."

"It's true. You know my mind goes to the worst case scenario."

I raised my head to plant a kiss on his neck. "I must find a way to make it up to you then. For putting you through so much worry."

"You should." He said, lowering himself so that we were face to face. "I have a few things in mind." He smirked at me before he swiftly turned me around, so he was on top of me. His body was pressed against mine and his arms were tense from holding himself up.

"Oh yeah?" I teased him. "Show me."

I heard a gentle knock on the door before it opened and all I had time to do was pull the covers on top of me.

"Yeah Liv, like that could fool anyone." I heard David's voice, mocking me and pulled myself up. I glanced at Neymar next to me who was awake and grinning at David.
