Love at first sight

Family and love

"Milena, I want you to be happy at where we go now, just act like you're not upset and enjoy it ok? " he said while giving me a quick look with his serious hazel eyes and then looking at the road.

"Where are we even going Ney?" I asked curiously , I took my sunglasses off and looked at my eyes on my Chanel compact foundation mirror.
"I have a plan Mila but you have to trust me meu amor" and he reached his hand onto mine and gave me a quick smile, all my worries faded into nothing and his love filled my heart.
"Ok I will, but just give me a hint- where are we going?!" I snapped which made him chuckle.
"I thought a job requirement of being a doctor was to be patient? Hein Mila?" I raised an eyebrow and smirked "are you implying that I'm a bad doctor Ney ?" He smirked back and winked at me " no of course not señorita..".

Geo started laughing at us in the back seat, "ah , watching you two makes me so happy - you little cuties" while clapping his hands.
Me and Neymar both turned to look at each other and exchanged smiles. After another 5 minutes he pulled the car into a a park space and put on his sunglasses "we're here" he said.
"Ney?! What on earth are you thinking - you've brought us to la sagrada familia? Do you realise  how public everything is here?! It's like the busiest place in the whole of Barcelona!" He smiled back "checkmate" , I raised my eyebrow to portray my confusion and didn't know what to say "Mila, the man has a plan obviously - go with the flow baby" Georgio added , "we're gonna get along so well" Neymar said to Geo with a cool to his tone and he ran out the car to come open my door for me. I felt self conscious as I wasn't prepared to be out in front of loads of people WITH A FAMOUS FOOTBALLER. I felt sick but told my self 'conceal don't feel' and smiled through the stress, and stepped out of the car "trust me" he said to me again to reassure me, but, how could I not trust those eyes even if I could only faintly see them through his sunglasses.

It hadn't lasted long before crazy fanatics have gathered around us for photographs and autographs , before we knew it paparazzi had bombarded us, the snapping flashlights and the shouting had dizzied me to the point where I couldn't see straight anymore , I could feel his hands tightly wrapped  around me to protect me from them. Spanish reporters shouting all sorts of questions at us "Neymar Jr. Who's this lady" "are you in a relationship?" "How long have you been together" "what's her name". I felt overwhelmed and unfamiliar to this world that I had just entered. "Her name is Milena and she's my girlfriend, were planning to get married" Neymar shouted at the paparazzi "did you get that? She's going to be my wife" he shouted even louder with a huge grin on his face. I looked up at him , amazed at his words , I was becoming more and more confused - Geo was by my side giving me the reassurance with the look 'go with the flow' his words come back to me.

After the hectic cathedral trip we went to one of  Neys favourite restaurants and as soon as I sat down I broke my silence "can you please explain why the hell you decided to just tell everything to those paparazzis?! And marriage?! Ney we haven't even discussed marriage yet - we've just met for Christ sake". I was slightly angry that he had just said things like that without my idea but at the same time a lovely sense of belonging filled me , I felt like we were definitely a serious item. Neymar didn't even seem to be put off by my little anger fit, in fact he had a huge smile across his face "Milena, think about it" he said while pointing to his head "if I say to the media we're very serious - which we are , do you know how quickly this news will spread meu amor?" I was getting the hint but I let him continue "and if this news spreads , you know who's going to find out?? Yes - your parents! Você entende?, and that boy can't marry a girl who's engaged and willing to get married soon". The words hit me so harsh and real , I couldn't speak for a bit , a heaviness in my throat and finally I recollected myself and was able to stutter at the least "Engaged?, we're not engaged? Getting married soon? What ? What are you saying?"  He looked at me slightly upset "you don't sound happy Milena , don't you feel the same way? Don't you want to spend your life with me?" He knew damn well I did but I had become too overwhelmed. "My love , you don't understand, we just met and although we already love each other so so much , I don't want you to make such decisions in a hurry just to save me. I'd love to spend the rest of my life with you but I'm just a simple person- you on the other hand, you're a legendary football player, you're famous and I'm scared. What if you find another woman who you love more, a model perhaps, but you'd be tied down just because you rushed one decision in order to save me. You don't know everything about me yet , how could you feel so passionate about me? Please don't do anything you'll regret Neymar, please" tears began streaming down my face and I got up without making any eye contact "we better go Georgio" I said while turning away, my heart sinking and suffering in pain at the thought of hurting Neymar as well as myself. Before I could take my first step I felt a stern grab on my arm and fell spinning into his arms, our faces so close, our eyes locked in each other's "pull yourself together, you are the one I love " by now some of the customers and staff were looking at us, "we're leaving.. Together." Neymar said with an angry look- he placed a 200 euro tip on the table and pulled me by my hand out the door while Geo followed on. "Can we talk privately please" Neymar asked Georgio who had a confused expression and nodded in understanding as he walked away to the car. He looked me straight in the eye and for a few second said nothing, his eyes did the talking. Anger. His eyes turned a deep green colour when he got angry. "You think I'm the type of man to leave you for a model? Hein Milena?, you think I'm rushing everything ? Im doing everything for us - not just for you, and if you don't want to get married then that's your choice. You can go marry that rich attorney kid in America, at leat he's not a famous footballer - he might provide you with a more stable life.." He was shouting but in a really quiet way, I felt my eyes well up in response to his anger and I burst out crying like a little child. He clenched his fist and bit into it as he turned his head away. "I've got you and I want you" I whispered to him as I threw my arms around his neck to hug him. My chin rested slightly on his shoulder and I was on my toes to reach his height. His scent , and cologne - strongest in his neck area helped to relieve my emotions, his arms wrapped around me tightly "you have me completely" he said "you got me" he repeated into my ear as he ran his hand through my hair "and I have no intentions of leaving you" he muttered as he moved my hair out my face and pulled my face closer for a gentle kiss. "I love you" I said. "Eu também te amo" he replied "let's go home" he held my hand and led to the car where Geo was on his phone. He seemed anxious and quickly put his phone away so fast that he nearly dropped it "so we're going now?" He seemed uneasy as we all walked into the car and Neymar drove off. I kept catching glimpses of Georgio who looked pale and nervous , he kept biting his nails and his eyes wouldn't not stay concentrated on a single place for more than a few seconds "Georgio you don't seem very well honey, is everything ok?" I asked , as I did this Neymar also started to look through his front mirror and over his shoulder at Georgio while continuing to drive "do you need me to pull over Geo" he asked so sensitively which I loved about him. "N- no I'm fine guys , thank you ... Let's just go home" and he forced a smile, but he wasn't fine - I could tell.

When we got to my home we all threw ourselves onto the sofa and it was just silent for a bit "does anybody want a coffee??? Or tea or anything to eat or drink ??" I asked as I got up to go into the kitchen "just a water please amor" Ney said with a smile as he got his phone out , "I'll have a water too babe" added Georgio. I made my way into the kitchen and poured myself an Americano from the coffee jug then went over to the fridge to get water jug and filled two glasses which automatically steamed up with condensation in reaction to the icy water. I stopped what I was doing for a minute and thought about Georgio. He had become really distant suddenly , and it wasn't like him to be distant. I placed the drinks onto a tray and walked back into the living room with a huge smile on my face "come on guys , no more negativity in this house - there's nothing that's more important than being happy so let's all sit and talk or watch a movie, come on Geo - it's your first full day in Barcelona and it's been terrible so far - what do you want to do" I put down the tray in the coffee table and took a seat across both of them. Neymar reached in for his water , then Geo as I took sips from my coffee and watched them "actually Mila, I feel a bit sick - you wouldn't mind if I went to sleep will you darling?" Geo said (obviously lying) but I didn't want to tease him in front of Neymar so I said "ok honey, but let me know if you need any painkillers or anything - I have some really good ones in the medicine cabinet if you need" he stood up as he placed his empty glass on the coffee table "I'll be fine, just need some sleep - probably still a bit jet lagged" I smiled at him to give an understanding nod and Neymar smiled at him too "hope you get well soon my friend" he said and Geo walked out the room into his guest room. I quickly went over to Ney and whispered loudly "there's definitely something wrong with him ney, this isn't like geo at all" he looked at the door then at me with lowered eyebrows and concentrated eyes "what do you mean?" He asked. "Didn't you see the way he put his phone away at the car park when we came up to him , he seemed so nervous to see us and then he's been uneasy ever since - I'm telling you something is definitely wrong with him" his arm reached around me "you're right, you should ask him what's wrong when I leave" he said with a slight smirk on his face as he pulled me in closer "well, why shouldn't I ask him now" I said with the same sort of smirk "because I'm here" he replied as he reached in to kiss me "let's discuss the engagement thing" he said with his hand in my hair and eyes on mine. "Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Santos but I haven't received a proper proposal yet..." I hinted with a smug smile "ah of course, I understand señorita, at the end of the day - it's gonna be a first for both of us but one little problem.... I don't carry wedding rings with me so I can't propose to a beautiful woman like yourself without a ring" he joked "I see señor, and I agree" I said as we both burst out laughing "come here" he said as pulled me in so that my head was on his chest and he got his phone out and shouted "selfie" and captured a photo of us both, "that's going straight on Instagram" he said as got on his phone added the picture of us and he made sure to tag me in his photo with the emojis "💕💍" as the caption. Within a few minutes my Instagram and his were full of notifications- mostly shocked neymarzetes which he explained to me that were his female fans. Once we both calmed down after reading most of the comments we began talking again, he put his arm behind my neck as we both looked into the high ceiling "you know , maybe you think I'm crazy , and maybe others think so too but I really love you, you know that right - I guess this is what everyone always meant by love at first sight, I really love you" "I love you too" I replied and we just sat there comfortably snuggled in each other's warmth without any noise. True bliss.

"Hey, Milena - I should go now , I have training tomorrow and it's been an eventful day so I should rest - I'll come see you tomorrow"  I got up to greet him too "I wish there were more hours in a day so we could be together for longer ney" he kissed me on my cheek "me too amor, me too" and we walked towards the door where I saw him out as he blew a kiss which made me smile as I held on to the necklace he gave me. I shut the door and walked inside and straight into Geo's room but he wast in bed , then I noticed that the window was open and he was out on the balcony so I went to join him "oh, I didn't hear you come in" he said "has Neymar left?" He added.
I took a seat on the swing seat next to him on the balcony and replied to his question "yeah" "Geo , please - just please tell me what's up, I've known you my whole life and we never keep anything from each other. What is bugging you honey , tell me please, it upsets me so much that you're keeping something from me" I put my hand over his and he took a deep breath "Mila please, don't make do this , I don't want you to be upset - this is for your own sake" he said with a gloom in his face .I quickly gathered myself together "Did you say for my sake?? This is about me?! Oh no geo , you have to tell me what up now!" By now Georgio's eyes had teared up and he was begging me not to be upset which got me so much more confused as in to what he would not possibly share with me...
