When I Met You

Part One: C25 The Conference.

We arrived at the conference hall and we're waiting to be seated. Not all of us were going. It was just us four physicians, David, Thiago, Neymar, Marcelo, Dani and Hulk. Oh yeah, and of course the coaching staff, Carlos, Andrews and José.

"Alright! Those of you going on get ready. And those of you not going on, you are representing team Brazil so no monkey business, whatsoever." Scolari said strictly.

After the conference was over we were all gathered in the foyer of the conference hall.

"Alright guys!" He clapped his hands. "So we are done for the day but practise at 5 pm. Everyone is expected to be there."

"Let's load up the buses!"

I groaned and rubbed my temples. I can feel a headache coming on. "I am so ready to sleep." And I was having cramps. Crap I think it's shark week.

"Hey, so everyone's thinking about going out to eat for lunch, you up for it?" I heard Neymar ask.

"Not really. But you guys go ahead. I think I'm going to take a nap." I said.

He put his arm around me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I sighed. We got on the bus and took our seats. He sat beside me. He took my arm and put it around him and then he put his head on my shoulder. "What the-"

"Alright. Let me rephrase that." He whispered in my ear. "How about you and I go back to the hotel and watch a movie while eating pizza?" I took my arm off of him and crossed my arms over my chest.

He put his arm around me.

I internally smiled. "That sounds really nice but I think I'm going to go and sleep." I said looking up to him.

"Alright so you can sleep and I'll watch the movie and eat the pizza." He smirked.

"Well you're going to have horrible company as you'll be with someone who's sleeping." I mumbled.

"It's totally okay."

I rolled my eyes. "No it's not. What's the point of you being there if I'll be sleeping?"

"Because I'll still be with you." He whispered so close to my ear that I felt his mouth touch my ear.

"Alright guys! We're here." Scolari announced. My face heated up and I pulled away from him.

I got up. "Still doesn't make any sense." I said as I started to follow everyone out of the bus.

I got off and made my way inside the hotel and towards the elevator. I could sense that Neymar was behind me the whole time.

"Hey!" I heard. I looked and saw Ashley with David.

"Hi." I smiled.

"So you coming for lunch?" David asked.

"Actually, I'm not. I really want to sleep but you guys go ahead and I'll catch you at practice." I smiled.

"Oh, are you alright?" Ashley asked me in her motherly voice.

"Yes, mom. I am. I'm just tired." I told her.
