Neymar POV

I couldn't look away from her, even though she looked as if she was about to explode in anger. Roslyn passed back and forth her phone glued to ear and her hand swinging in the air.

It was amusing, laying on the couch I shoved some more sour worm candy in my mouth. I turned off the television so I could hear what she was saying.

"No baby listen to me" her polite voice echoes, I sit I straight and stare at her. Roslyn still in her clothes from last night shoved her phone in her pocket and looks directly at me.

"Baby huh, are you with somebody?" I asked, not knowing why Sergio didn't mention this to me earlier.

"I just don't know what to do, he is really pissed of and I don't blame him." She says sitting on the couch in front of me, her hand was covering her face.

"Don't be sad, because sad backwards is das, and das not good"

she lets out a laugh, and looks up at me with a huge grin plastered on her face. I stare at her surprised.

"I seriously don't know what to do Neymar." It was the first time I heard her say my name and I liked the way it sounded coming out of her mouth. I shake my head and focus.

She begins to tell me everything about her boyfriend and her situation, I tried to focus on key important things such as she left him drunk passed out on their couch and left the country.

"Okay let me get this straight  you don't want to pretend to be my fiancé and your boo thang wants you back home but you don't want to go back home, what do you want exactly?" I ask shoving more candy in my mouth.

"I want reassurance that I'll have a secure job and financial security for the rest of my life."

I nearly choke on my candy and let out a chuckle, did she not realise her brother was Sergio and that he was a millionaire, before I could remind her of about her family tree she stood up and shakes her head.

"I have to go find my brother and tell him I'm leaving, it was nice meeting you neymar." She says taking out her hand, I stand up and shake it.

"Just as I was starting to like you" I state disappointingly, she stares at me like I just insulted her mother and turns around and walks away, my eyes land on the back of her jeans as I stare at her booty. "God damn"

Roslyn POV

How did I get in a situation like this, I'm a good person, sort off, sometimes. Okay so I'm not that good but I'm not bad either.

The next flight to Los Angeles is at midnight, I know what I have to do, as I sat in the guest bedroom with my bags. The bedroom door knocks and opens.

"I heard you were looking for me" my brother says with a bowl of cereal in his hand, I nodded and stood up.

"It was so nice to see you sergio, really you have no idea how much I missed you."

"I missed you too" he says shoving a spoon full of cornflakes in his mouth, I smile.

"I was talking to Neymar earlier-"

"Wait really?" He asked surprised

"His alright"

"That's progress" he nods

"Any who, we talked for a bit and he made me realise what it is I truly want. And that's Joshua, I freakin love him."

"Neymar!" Sergio shouts in anger, I heard running footsteps and Neymar barges in the door with a shoe in his hand.

Neymar looked around the bedroom his hands securely on the shoe, I raise my eyebrow.

"Dude I thought you were getting murdered."

"What's a fucking shoe going to do" Sergio harshly whispers

"I don't know man I panicked, fuck you!" Neymar whispers back

I sat back on the bed and stared at both of them, they stopped talking and Neymar raised his hand in the air like he was a student.

"Why am I here?" He asked, genuinely curious

"You told her to go back to Joshua, are you  kidding me? After you beg me to find you someone who would pretend to be engaged to you."

"I never said that, all I asked was what you wanted to do" Neymar says walking towards me "Roslyn, I don't want to force you to be my fake anything."

"What do you want to do?" Sergio asked me crossing his arms.

"I want to do my boyfriend"

"Roslyn, i don't need to hear that shit." Sergio snaps

"Oh god no that's not what I meant, it came out wrong" I say staring at neymar who licked his bottom his lip.

"You can't think straight because I'm standing here right? I usually have the effect on women."  Neymar says winking at me.

"Hey that's not a women that's my sister."

"I feel like this is more of a family talk, I'm just going to go." Neymar quickly left the room closing the door behind him.

"You know I can't force you to stay, you're an adult but if you do leave then I'll have no other option but to tell the L.A.P.D where your boyfriend is, you told me he was wanted and running and guess what, I'll tell them everything I know."

"Sergio you promised me-"

"I don't care, I do not want to see you ruin your life with that junkie who has a warrant out for his arrest do you know what that does to you? You will be a freaking accomplice!"

"You're blackmailing your own sister!,how could you do this to me?" I was fuming with anger, it's always the ones closest to you that stab you in the back.

"Think about it, if you break up with him he can't link this back on you, it was all him!"

"You don't understand" I say sitting on the side of my bed, tears running down my face.

"I understand that if you continue being with Joshua, you will be in jail and I'll get my sister and my career taken away from me, literally. I won't have football anymore, all because of you and your selfish ways." Sergio shouts.

"When I told you about Joshua I didn't tell you the full story"

"Don't defend him, it's pathetic" he says turning around

"You don't understand, just stop and listen."

"Stop protecting him!" Sergio grabbed the lamp that was on the side of my bed and smashed it to the bedroom wall, making me jump back in shock.

"I'm not protecting him, he is protecting me."
