Love at first sight

Engaged

Milena's PoV
My heart was about to shift out of place , could this really be it - was he about to propose to me for real?!? Is this actually happening I thought to myself . I could relate to everything he was saying, why is this moment spreading out so long, has the world stopped ?? "Milena... Will you want to live the rest of your life with me as my wife?" He finally asked it revealing a beautiful ring sitting in its red velvet throne. "Aí meu Deus, meu amor! Yes!" I cried while tears were running down my face, I wanted to say more , to let him know how happy I was but the words were just held back by my non stop tears of joy. He delicately took my left hand and slid on the ring - my ring. It looked so beautiful , so elegant on my marriage finger which I was unfamiliar to having a ring on. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him so tight "I love you, I really do" I whispered as he whispered "I love you too" where I could feel his breath on my neck and he placed a kiss on that same spot. Just as we were about to kiss , the door bell rang which confused me, "were you expecting anyone amor?" I asked him and he just looked up at me with those joyous green eyes and mischievous smile "maybe" he said and walked over to the intercom to allow access for the visitor.

"Milena, come to the door with me?" He asked as he held my hand and led me to the door. "Ney what's going on? Who is it ? Don't tell me you've called paparazzi again?!" I kept asking him but it was no use at all, he just kept smiling at me.
When we finally opened the door , there were three people, a young girl with long hair, and two middle aged adults. Automatically I knew that these were his family, his parents and perhaps sister; it had to be! They looked so alike. I looked at Neymar and back at the family but all I could do was present a huge smile to them. "Ah , my boy!! So good to see you again!" The woman said as she stepped in first and hugged Neymar tightly , then she let go and looked at me "what a beautiful girl! And you must be her! The one that's stolen my sons heart!! So nice to finally meet you sweetheart!" She said as she pulled me in for a hug and made me feel belonged immediately.
Next, there was his dad who looked Neymar up and down and said "get here" and hugged him while ruffling his hair, and in the same way he approached me next and smiled at me , exact same smile as Neymar "glad to meet you dear Milena!" He said and hugged me too.
And finally there was his sister. "Rafa! Come here preta!! Missed you so much meu unico" Neymar said as he pulled his sister in for a big hug and she looked so content leaning her head on her brothers chest while laughing "ok Ney stop squeezing me" she said while laughing even louder. Times like this , I wished that I had siblings too but it was just me, that's how it always was. "Oi Milena! My brother was right, you are so beautiful , ai meu deus! So happy to meet you!" She said, "ai meu deus, you're all making me blush! Thank you darling, but have you seen how beautiful you are!  I'm also really happy to meet you all" I said as I hugged his sister too who I could tell that I was going to get along really well with.

"Mãe , pai come along - Milena had just made us some delicious food and I really think you should all try some, in fact mãe, it's almost as good as yours so beware" Neymar exclaimed as we all burst out laughing "I doubt that Ney" I added feeling uneasy with a compliment that compares me to his mother while laughing.
"Filho, how is your foot since we last spoke - still causing you a lot of pain hein?" His father asked with a concerned look as they all sat around the table and I served up the dishes. "Não pai, Milena made me all better, may God always keep her by me" he replied back to his dad while looking at me lovingly which lead me to blush. "amor, it was the least I could do for you! I'm still annoyed at that physiotherapist that you've had for so long who misdiagnosed your problem and didn't treat it properly, bless you meu único, I can't even imagine how painful it must've been for you" I replied to him with a heartfelt smile since he looked so happy and peaceful.
"Obrigada filha, our son is really lucky indeed to find a girl like you who goes out of her way to care for him" his mom said on behalf of both parents as she held her hand over Neymar Sr.'s and smiled at me so kindly. "Mãe, Mila is a doctor so technically she didn't go out of her way to treat my foot , she already knew about it" Neymar said cheerfully.
"Really?! You're a doctor Milena? That is so impressive wow" Rafaella joined the conversation with full focus. "Thank you! That's really nice of you Rafaella, and yes I am- what career are you looking into?" I asked her.
"Well I went to london to study at university there, but later I returned and now I work in our family business , nnconsultoria - I'm also a fashion and beauty blogger on the side" she replied with a bright smile.
While we all sat at the table, everyone was eager to get to know one another and we spoke as we dined which everyone enjoyed the food and soon his family started yawning one by one, jet lagged and tired from a long day.
"Your rooms are all ready família, I'll bring your bags up for you if you all want to go and get ready for bed" Neymar offered lovingly, the happiness of seeing his family clearly evident from his eyes. "Sim filho, that would be great if you can" his mum said as she yawned again and got up from the table "Milena my dear, everything was perfect, muito obrigada linda" she added as she gave me a hug, Neymar Sr. Also looked over and nodded in approval and they both got up to make their way upstairs as Neymar walked to the entrance to take the bags after them. Rafa was still sat at the table and had her phone out but she left it on the table and stood up offering to help me clear away as she noticed I was putting the dishes away. "Aw, no really Rafa, I can do it alone it's fine sweetheart, you're tired anyway" I quickly said feeling really happy that she was so thoughtful, however Rafaella did not take no for an answer and the dining area and kitchen was all clean and ready in no time. "Ah, I can get to sleep too now, goodnight Milena, I'll see you in the morning" Rafa said to me "yes you ought to, and I should be setting off home now, I'll try to see you after work tommorow" I replied but Rafa seemed shocked "what?! You're not staying here? You can't leave now Milena! We want to spend time with both you and my brother and besides you guys are technically engaged now, so I see no reason why you shouldn't stay over, pretty please?" And then it hit me again, Neymar had proposed to me earlier , then I noticed the ring on my finger , and Rafaela also noticed me looking down at the ring so lovingly "I knew you'd love the ring" she said quietly as she smiled so kindly at me "you knew too?" I asked quickly wanting to know all the details. "Yes, my brother had been going crazy recently thinking of how to make this proposal happen" she said as she giggled and that made my heart feel really warm and fuzzy thinking of how much thought had gone into today. "I'm so blessed to have found your brother Rafaella, and you're so lucky to have such a nice brother like him - I love the ring you've helped him well" I said as we both smiled at each other and Rafaella yawned again. Just at that point Neymar came down the stairs and walked into the dining area "Rafa, come on get to bed , I had the maid clean out your room a few days ago and you're obviously tired preta" and he came over and ruffled her hair and they both giggled as I noticed how similar their features were "Ney, Milena doesn't want to stay the night?! Can you believe!! Convince her, I mean we barely got to see her this evening!" And she yawned again "anyway, I'm going to bed now, again it was so so nice to meet you finally Milena , I hope when I wake up you'll still be around" she said sincerely with a warm smile which made me feel very belonged. 
As Rafaela walked off  I made eye contact with Neymar and he walked over to me "Milena, please stay?" His eyes locked into mine and I couldn't say no even though I had to "but I don't have any fresh clothes to go to work tomorrow? And my laptop and briefcase are at home which I Really need at work" , this time he held on to my hand "just stay , we'll sort all that out tomorrow , hein?" His smile and gleaming eyes finally made me give in to him "finee!" I said as I giggled "so are we actually engaged now? You're my fiancé" I asked still overwhelmed from the events of this evening which felt too good to be true- here I was with the man I actually loved and not Mason who my parents suited me for. "Yep we're engaged alright, now we can get to sleep and I can fall asleep with the most beautiful woman by my side" my eyes looked away as I felt shy by the compliment, it was crazy how love could deceive you to believe that the one you are with is beautiful even if they may not be in the eyes of others. "You're right, I am soo tired lets get to sleep, but I want to be in a separate room Ney, I don't want your family to think wrong of me , besides were not even married yet..." I relied but his face immediately dropped "what do you mean a separate room ? Milena don't be like this - you have no idea how much it kills me to be so close yet so far from you, I've been longing to have to you by my side... Please don't deprive me of you any longer?" Again, hypnotised by his eyes I gave in "URGH okay I guess, but Ney I'm telling you now- don't even think of trying anything else - I'm saving myself for marriage got it?" His eyes mischievously gleamed "be more specific" he asked teasingly as I jokingly slapped him.
We made our way upstairs and I saw his room for the first time, very spacious with a huge bed and modernly styled furniture and decor , he opened a door into his bathroom "this is the bathroom if you need to use it , but first I need to use it " he said as he turned to go in "wait Ney, do you have any spare unused toothbrushes? " I asked  " I do actually.. I'll have it out here ready on the counter for you when I'm done with the bathroom" he shut the door and I fell onto the couch in his room with my heart pounding "my god help me get through this night" truth was, I'd never gotten this close to a man in my life , never into their bedroom and the possible outcomes of the night worried me but at the same time I wanted to fully give myself to him and not have to wait so long. I shook my head in order to try and shake that thought out of my head "wait till marriage" I keep whispering to myself.
The door unlocked and he stepped out in nothing but a towel covering his bottom half  and water running down his golden toned chest into his abs , I definitely felt strange being in his presence so I rushed into the bathroom blushing and while in there I fiddled a bit, brushed my teeth and got undressed , I showered before I came to his house and was already clean so just got undressed to wear some pyjamas but then it hit me , I had no pyjamas. I started to panic but then he knocked on the door "hey, you ok in there Mila?" He asked but I didn't know what to say u til I finally said it "um Ney , can you give me something to wear as a pyjama ?" And I heard him chuckle "Mila don't be ridiculous just come out as you are, I'm telling you- it's too hot to be even wearing anything" he laughed which was true because Barcelona was always very hot but today was one of those unbearably hot days. I let out a heavy sigh knowing I couldn't persuade him and stepped out in my simple black underwear, to see that he was standing there in his boxers.
I walked straight over to the bed trying to avoid looking at him for longer than a few seconds because of how shy I felt , once I was under the cold white bedsheets, only then did I feel confident to speak again as I wasn't so exposed "ok can you just get in and can we get to sleep because I'm so tired amor" I said waiting for him to come over after he dimmed the lights in the room and set the air conditioner. When he finally did we were laying down looking into each other's face in the ill-lit room.
The feeling in that moment was something else as I'd never felt so much rush , excitement happiness and in love all at the same time, I was here with the man I love , my fiancée. His hand reached over to my face and stroked gently "you have no idea how much I love you" he said "I love you too" I said after letting out a little smile as his fingers stroked my lips and he brought his face closer to mine and there it was, our lips touched with a delicate kiss. "Milena , I want you" he whispered in between the kiss and started getting closer, his hands wrapping around me, I knew where this was going "Ney I want you too but not now" I said quietly in between the kiss though feeling so much to give in to him "now Milena , when better than now" he said as his kisses moved down my neck and without even being aware I let myself go fully in order to experience this bliss which is love...
