"Same old love"- selena gomez
" fuego"- RBD

El calor de mi cuerpo que se eleva casi sin control. Con solo verte! Comienza por mis manos y termina en mi corazon, cuando te extraño! Particulas de amor que nadan en mi interior. Pretenden incendiar el hielo de tu corazon. Y tengo miedo, de perder el control. Y no espero... Para volver a ti. Cada vez que te encuentre, volveras a ser como el deseo que arde lento con mi fuego. Fuego.

When you see Rafinha in the doorway it is alarming to say the least. His hair is disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, his face full of anxiety and worry. His eyes study you first, taking in the way Neymar is standing protectively over you, shielding you.
"Rafinha, what are you doing here? I told you she didn't want to see you!" Neymar says angrily.
" Don't act like you wouldn't have done the same" Rafinha responds.
"Anyways I'm trying really hard not to punch you in the jaw for undressing in front of her, so if I were you, I'd shut up." Rafinha continues.
Neymar laughs darkly, "if only you kn-"
You grab his hand, warning him not to go further.
"What do you want from me Rafinha, shouldn't you be with your new girlfriend?" You sigh.
"Danielle isn't my girlfriend,(y/n), please let me explain myself" he begs. Neymar snorts, crossing his arms. Standing up, you walk closer to him, brushing Neymar off when he tries holding you back.
" I loved you once, Rafi, which is why I am going to allow you to explain yourself. After that, I don't want to see you again. You broke my trust!" You say, wiping away a tear.
" alright," he says, with relief and motions for you to follow him to his car, leaving.
"I'll be back," you say turning to Neymar.
His hands are crossed, he is fuming, his playful mood completely erased.
"The last time you said that I didn't see you for six months," he shakes his head.
"Trust me" you hold his strong hand in yours.
"With my life," he agrees.
You walk away from Neymar and run to Rafinha's car, noticing the heavy rain that has begun to fall. Omen or not, you know it is only fair to hear both sides of a story and step inside the car. Buckling up, you avoid Rafinha's gaze and flinch when he places his hand on your thigh, an act that is no longer comforting to you. Noticing your discomfort, he immediately pulls his hand back, and turns the radio on. Lana's "Million Dollar Man" plays, her enchanting notes filling the air.

"Where are we going?" you ask.

" A quiet place to eat" he responds.

"I'm not hungry," you turn facing the droplets running down the window.

"The way you were looking at my brother could have convinced me otherwise," he murmurs under his breath.

You gasp, and are about to argue when he stops the car. Running out he grabs something from his trunk and returns, opening your door. You stare up at his face, noticing the droplets of water clinging to his dark lashes, his face flushed from the cold.

He smirks, clearly enjoying the attention and you roll your eyes, huffing as you step out, taking the umbrella he retrieved from the trunk.

"THE BREW" is the title of a cozy looking coffeeshop that he no doubt convieniently chose in his favor.

After ordering warm milk and a brownie, you take a seat in a secluded booth while Rafinha pays. Neymar's incoming texts cause you to turn your phone off, guiltily ignoring his snapchats and "I MISS YOU COME BACK PLS" texts.

Rafinha sits across from you and takes off his jacket.

You stir your milk with your straw, staring at the table.

He coughs, and shifts in his seat.

You take a bite of your brownie, wishing it was extra special to make you forget about all this.

Finally, he breaks the silence. " I have yet to have any type of contact, physical or emotional with a girl that wasn't you."

You cough on a piece of brownie, "well that puts things in perspective."

"I have proof," Rafinha adds.

"Oh?"

He pulls out Danielle's instagram showing you her past and recent pictures of her and her boyfriend, where she is even with him and Rafinha at school.

"WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND BOYFRIEND!!! GOOD TIMES" as the caption. The way she clings to Taeyong leaves no mystery about who she is referring to in the picture.

Your throat closes more and more as Rafinha explains the reasons of where he met her, and how she has helped him. The way in which she guided him towards the right path, and the way in which Neymar never let him explain himself, completely avoiding any topics concerning girls.

" I could never, ever lie to you, the way I love you, its much more strong than any type of affair or urge a foolish man could possess, and I want you to understand that. These past few days, they've been a mess I know, your absence only complicated your mindset about us, but I remember the promise you made me, the day you broke my heart, you said you would come back to me. He smiles sadly, "I want you to remember, and keep the words you said that have kept me from going insane because I don't want to live without you. I love you" he admits, and leans in kissing your surprised lips. You should have pushed him away, told him the truth of how you had given into that affair he had spoken of, admitted that your feelings for his brother had been too much for you to handle, too much to stop the events that would never leave your mind, never allow you to be with anyone else. But you also couldn't just ignore the past that you had shared with him too, the love you had for Rafinha might not be as intense, as passionate, but it was very strong, very real, sweet and all that you had wanted to find for a very long time.
