'Okay, tell me, I'm listening,' says Gareth.

Audrey takes a deep breath and doesn't hesitate for any second longer, she was now going to admit how she felt.

'I think I have a huge crush on Neymar,' she begins.

'No shit, sherlock,' replies Sergio with heavy sarcasm.

Audrey frowns and then hits him on the arm, 'Hey, I'm not finished yet and you should be grateful that I even admitted it,' she responds, folding her arms in annoyance.

'Anyway, the point is that this is really bad. The fact that we almost kissed... like I can't do that. Laura is my sister and I'm attracted to her boyfriend! I don't know how he feels about me but it feels good when I see him and I know that there's something between us. A connection. But I know he's not mine, I've got to stay away from him as much as possible. So, the plan is not to reply to him or speak to him as much.'

'Do you really want to let him go?' asks Gareth.

Audrey smiles, 'It's not like I'm in love with him, I can resist him.'

Sergio scratches his head, 'Yeah, well I had something to tell you too. It's about Laura actually.'

Audrey piles up the jerseys and places them neatly into her wardrobe as she replies to Sergio, 'What's that?'

'We slept together before.'

Audrey goes to shut the door for the wardrobe but ends up getting her finger trapped inside as soon as she hears what Sergio says.

'Ouch, what?' shrieks Audrey as she slowly takes her finger out and then sucks it so it feels better.

'I-I know, it's weird. That's why she gives me the "looks" every time she sees me,' answers Sergio.

'That's crazy,' she mumbles. 'Well, it's not like Neymar could get mad at you for it since you didn't do it when they were together,' Audrey laughs, jokily.

Sergio goes silent for a few seconds and just looks at Gareth.

'No, I don't believe you!' Audrey says.

'What? I didn't say anything,' Sergio says, a serious look on his face.

'Yeah but I know exactly what happened. Laura cheated on him with you, didn't she?' asks Audrey, confused but wanting to know more. 'That's why she doesn't want to see you.'

'How did you-'

Audrey cuts through him, 'Laura wasn't what she is now, before. She used to go clubbing every day like I bet you met her there too?'

'Yeah, that's where I met her, after a win, the boys and I decided to have a night out for some fun. Afterwards, Laura and I started to meet more often. She wasn't as interested in me as much as I was in her. It turned out she had a boyfriend who clearly didn't mean anything. But one day, she told me that she doesn't want to continue it which kinda annoyed me but it turned out she was changing to a better person. Over time, she left the club...'

'And now she doesn't like parties or that type of thing at all...' Audrey finished his sentence.

Sergio sighs and then looks at Audrey who was staring into empty space, she had no emotion but a look of hurt.

'Sergio, Gareth. Neither of you can tell this to ANYONE. You hear me? Especially, not Neymar. It will ruin everything for Laura and she just seems so happy with him. I hate her for cheating but she's changed and I'll support her because she's my sister,' Audrey demands the two and they just nod.

'I mean it. Promise me,' Audrey requests.

'Promise,' says Gareth, almost instantly.

Sergio takes a deep breath and looks around for a minute, making Audrey worry herself. But soon enough he comes to a conclusion, 'Fine. I promise too.'

Audrey sighs in relief but then something clicks into her mind.

'Wait, just a question, earlier you said that you were interested in her but do you still like her?' asks Audrey, curiously.

Sergio looks at Gareth who was scratching his forehead.

'I don't know, when I saw her again, it hit me again. She really impacted my life.'

'Oh, um... Well guys, who wants to play on the x-box?' shouts Audrey, excitedly as she subtly changes the subject.

'We're in,' Gareth smiles.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Rafinha and Laura were watching TV since they couldn't go out. Laura seemed disappointed and her mood had drastically changed all of a sudden. Rafinha noticed and he quickly turned on a good movie that he knew Laura loved.

She lifts her head up, sitting up straight, 'I love this movie,' she says.

'I know, that's why I put it on,' Rafinha smiles.

The two sit there watching the film while Neymar texted Laura throughout most of it until she fell asleep, her head leaning on to Rafinha. He felt her soft head touch his shoulder, slowly. Rafinha didn't want to move because he knew it'd wake her up so he stayed put and let her sleep. Sooner than later, he fell asleep too.

It was peaceful. Calm.

However, upstairs it was a different story.

'Sergio! You should have passed, idiot!' Audrey shrieked.

'Sorry but Gareth attacked me,' Sergio argued.

When the game finished the three just turned the x-box off. Audrey walked over to her phone and realized that she had got another message from Neymar.

NeymarJr: Audrey! Don't ignore me!! I've got something planned for you.

Audrey.BVB: death?

NeymarJr: nooo! but you'll see soon ;)

NeymarJr: have a good day, I missed Laura today

Audrey.BVB: and what about meeee?

NeymarJr: why would I miss you?

Audrey.BVB: aww :(

NeymarJr: I'm kidding. I couldn't stop thinking about you xx

Audrey.BVB: Really?!

NeymarJr: No, I was joking! but I did miss you.

Neymar lied. He really couldn't stop thinking about Audrey that day but lies were easier to say instead of the truth in his case.

sorry for a short chapter, i could update again today if you all want me to?
