Infinite love... (Neymar fanfiction)

Chapter 89

Ciara POV
It was almost 8 pm when I finished my work today. Sometimes it's just so hectic as I'm the only physiotherapist in the med squad and I'm also planning on doing my Master's now but I haven't given it so much thought as life is going busy now. I reached home in about 20 minutes and saw Neymar's car parked. Looks like he didn't go anywhere today.

"I'm home," I shouted as I entered inside but it was quite silent.

"Ney, where are you?" I shouted again.

"Back here Cia." His voice came from the kitchen and I went inside to see that Neymar was standing with all vegetables and cooking ingredients around him.

"What are you doing Ney?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"I am cooking today. Don't be so mean. I wanted to do something special." He gave a weak smile.

"I can see that but you look a mess. Do you want any help?" I asked him keeping my bag on the chair next to the table.

"Nope, I'm good. You go change and freshen up and a delicious meal will be prepared by then." He winked at me and made me leave. So, I went upstairs and took a nice warm bath and changed into some shorts and a t-shirt. By the time I went downstairs to my surprise, everything was cleaned and he was setting table for us.

"Wow! That looks delicious." I said and he looked at me and smiled.

"Have a seat, Madam." He pulled a chair for me and then went to sit across from me.

He had put in some work, there was Barcelona cuisine on the table; Grilled sausages and fried beans with aioli, Fricando (meat and vegetable stew), and ice cream for the dessert. And when I tasted the food it was just so yummy!

"This is tasty Ney. Thank you so much for such a wonderful dinner." I said while eating because I was just enjoying eating.

"Just wanted to do something for a change. I am happy you liked it." He said digging in his food. He is maybe hungry as well. This may have taken him so much time.

"Like? I just love it Ney." I smiled and I could see Happiness in his eyes and face.

"Well, there was something I wanted to talk about Cia. " Ney sounded nervous at this.

"Okay! What is it about Ney?" I asked him. 

Before he replied he waited for a while like he was wondering whether to say it or not and I let him take his time and waited with patience for him to speak up. Finally, he said, "About us being engaged." 

"What about that Ney?" I was trying to make him more nervous and in a way, I was enjoying it.

"Cia don't make me nervous. You know what am I talking about. About us, I know after everything you may be having a hard time but we were engaged once and I seriously can't wait to marry you. It's just so frustrating to only see you as my girlfriend and I also have this constant fear I might lose you again." He was speaking his heart today and seriously even I was waiting for this day.

"I know we were engaged once Ney. And trust me I miss that moment when you proposed to me and how it felt to see that ring on my finger. I have tried Ney I have tried wearing it again and to give you a surprise but the moment I look at it I just don't know why but I remember that night and I just stop. I want us as one more than anything but maybe I still need a little more time." I had to tell him the truth because I knew how he is feeling now as I feel the same too.

"Okay, my princess take your time. I'm okay with that. Just remember I am not gonna hurt you again. I love you." There was so much love in his eyes. 

"I love you too Ney more than anything. I promise I won't take long." I gave him a wide smile.
