Neymars p.o.v
7:12 am the sound of my daily alarm wakes me up to a bright blinding sunrise. Yesterday was a long day and I was still feeling the effects of it. I rolled around in my huge bed and dug my head deep into the soft pillows but I had to get up for training. Heading straight into the bathroom first I washed my face then picked up the razor and shaving cream as I hadn't shaved my face yesterday. However , when I caught a glimpse of my face in the mirror I kind of liked the stubble look and decided that in second thoughts I didn't need to shave so I just brushed my teeth , sprayed some deodorant and stepped back into the room towards the wardrobe. Quickly putting on some black crop style pants and a loose white t shirt accompanied by a baseball cap and some new Nike trainers I made my way downstairs. The time was now only half 7 so I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge as well as quickly prepping myself a large Nutella sandwich. I got my phone out my pocket and looked through things as I sat at the little dining table tucking into my breakfast. "Ah porra" i silently cursed to myself as I remembered that I forgot to feed my dog poker. Marcela usually left out plenty to last him for the day after as well but on Sunday's I always topped up so I quickly grabbed the bag of dog food and walked over to Pokers kennel in the garden. He got so excited to see me and jumped up to me "oi poker" I said to him childishly as I poured his food into his bowl, I stroked his head which he loved as he turned to eat his food "bom dia hein?" I asked him, obviously not expecting an answer but I always found talking to Poker rather therapeutic. "Soon, very soon you'll get to meet Milena too boy!" I laughed and ruffled his head as I stood up to walk back inside because Poker was preoccupied with eating his food and nothing interested him when eating. As I walked back in, I felt a longing to see my son Davi who I missed so much. He loved playing with me and Poker and I hadn't seen him in a while other than FaceTime. I got my phone and called Carol, Davi's mom to speak to him. She finally answered after a long ring:
Me: "Olá Carol, tudo bem?"

C: "yeah things are fine, how's things in your life ? I heard you're getting married.." Her voice sounded somewhat dull.

Me: "Yeah , you've heard right - hopefully we're gonna get married... Anyway - umm is Davi there, I just quickly wanted to speak to him before training"

C: "Davi isn't here right now but I'll call you when he's back home, OK?"

Me: "Sure- that's fine but where is he?"

C: "umm, he's ... Um.. He's at my moms house!"

Me: "Carol, are you hiding something from me?"

C:"no of course not, why would I?" "shh!!" "Gotta go now!"
And she hung up on me. What the heck was that about I thought to myself. Why did she sound so suspicious and who did she say shush too. Besides , I could've sworn that I heard Davis voice...
Time was Quarter past 8 and I needed to be training at 9 so I got in the car and made my way to ciudad esportiva.

Milena's p.o.v
After a quick shower and and putting on some comfy clothes I walked out of my room to find that early bird Geo had already got up and was sat having a coffee while on his phone "morning lazy" he happily said. This morning he seemed so much happier and I decide that I would also be happy, I had my best friend and my love by my side so if my parents didn't want to see me again it was their loss as I'd done nothing bad to them, filling myself with positivity I replied to geo with a big smile. And walked into the dark open plan kitchen and quickly poured my self a glass of freezing cold water from the fridge to quench my thirst "Geo, remind me never to eat salt before I sleep" I shouted so he could hear me from the living room end. I heard him laugh a little and made my way to the fridge to get something to eat. Hmm. I thought as I observed what there was to eat but since it was a hot day and I was feeling quite thirsty I got myself the box of strawberries , threw them into a bowl after giving them a little wash and picked my glass of water up in my other hand ready to head back to the living room. "Geo have you eaten breakfast babe?" I shouted before I left the kitchen just in case but I already knew he usually eats first thing then has a coffee. "Yeah honey I've eaten" he replied so I walked into the living room and jumped back on to the sofa after placing my breakfast on the side table. The ceiling high windows were fully open and the house was being filled with beautiful fresh air as well as perfectly lighted by the sun. I loved how spacious and bright everything in my house was. I gave my phone a quick check, an email from a patient, a general email sent from the hospital to all staff, a game notification and.. A text message from Neymar saying "I love you" and the time sent was during the time I had fainted so I never got to reply. My heart fluttered with joy and I smiled at my phone as I thought about him and how loving he was- how he had gone topless just to keep me warm. "What are you smiling at crazy gal?" Geo snapped as he disrupted my thoughts  "oh me? No nothing - just thinking about things" I replied but I wasn't convincing as he smiled back at me assuring me that he knew exactly what I was thinking about. "Geo, we've not spoken about you and Hugo properly , how's things going? Everything recently has been all about me and we've not had chance for you babe I'm so sorry" I explained to him as I grabbed my bowl of strawberries and tucked in while I waited for him to talk. "Yeah, we're still talking but I kind of miss him, I mean when you left for Barcelona, I had no one - so when I found him the whole world was mine and we became so close... So yeah I guess it's normal to miss him" he told me. "Geo that's literally so sweet, I'm actually so happy but dude... I need to know how far you guys have gone together..." I started and I could see he knew what I meant cause he was raising his eyebrows and his mouth was opening as in to say "bitch shut up" "Mila..." He said instead "you know... Have you guys had i-" I started again but I was abruptly stopped by a flying cushion that came my way and smacked me straight in the face which only just missed my bowl in my lap. "Argh Geo you BITCH!!" I yelled as I laughed loudly "you've obviously had sex then" I teased him even more which led me to laugh more "no Mila!" He screamed but laughed even louder "it's not like that.. We've tried other things..." He said uneasily and my laughing didn't seem to help him , he came next to me a playfully slapped my hand "omg stop it!" Then we both started laughing "ok ok that's totally normal, you guys are dating so yeah it's fine but ew" I said as I tried to keep my cool but I was just being way too immature. "Mila omg- you make me feel so awkward" he shrieked as he covered his face with nervous laughter. "Ok ok , I'll stop now , got to reply to this patient anyways" I eased him with a final laugh and picked my MacBook back up on to my lap and began replying to my patient.
After that was done , I researched some medical journals and discoveries but after a while I felt exhausted and felt the need to go out. "Geo come on let's go out for lunch?? I'm so bored" I said as I placed the MacBook down and stretched on the sofa. Georgio was more than content with my idea and accepted straight away "girl, you're gonna need to get changed out of your lounge wear first though" he joked but I already knew that so I made him wait while I walked into my bright room and began to browse my wardrobe "hmm I thought" and moved the clothes about "this" I thought as I pulled out a faded black/ grey loose T-shirt dress and picked my large black tote to pair it with. Walking over to my shoe section in my closet I grabbed my black thigh boots and felt as I was complete getting changed. Remembering that I hadn't been wearing makeup properly for the past few days, I walked over to my dressing table and quickly drew on some eyeliner (which turned out perfect to my surprise), a few strokes of mascara, some bronzer and a nude lipstick. "Done" I whispered and got up to make my way out , but stopped to have a final look at myself from the mirror by the door. Grunge chic, then I noticed the black leather necklace around my neck, so unfamiliar yet so familiar at the same time, perfectly and effortlessly matching my look. I raised my hand to hold on to it and it filled me with peace and love as I began to contemplate life and love, such rare but beautiful things to live for, I had never been involved in anything this peaceful before and it made me feel so content in life as I thought of my love.
