Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 2

For the next two days the only thing we had to do was get ready for the arrival of the players. That practically meant we would get acquainted with each player's style and position. We also had to have daily meetings with some of the coaches to get acquainted with the strategies. I already knew quite a lot about strategies in football so I couldn't wait for those meetings. Other than that we had a lot of free time.

So after our first meeting we decided to walk around the compound and explore. We had a briefing with Mr. Jones early in the afternoon and the meeting with the coaches right after that, so we had the rest of the morning and lunch time free.

"This place is amazing." Marina exclaimed. "Do you think we can go the pool?" she asked as we walked around. We were in the football fields.

"I can't see why not." Peter said and turned to look at me and Alex.

Alex lifted his shoulders indifferently.

"C'mon Oli! Let's go!" Marina said.

"Okay fine!" I said. "But I'll join you in a few minutes. I want to circle the compound and look around a bit."

"I can come with you if you want." Alex proposed.

"No need." I answered. "I will meet you soon!"

"Okay boys to the dorms! Unless you already have bathing suits on!" Marina said.

"We need those?" Peter teased her. I shared a smiling look with Alex before we went our ways.

Neymar's POV

"No. No, I'm sorry. No." I said before hanging up the phone. I then proceeded to switch it off completely. The reason I came to Granja Comary before everyone else was to get some peace of mind before the frenzy of the Mundial. But it seemed like my troubles followed me everywhere I went. If anything they were consistent.

I had come here straight from Bruna's house without stopping anywhere else. My pai was here with me, until everyone else arrived and then he'd go settle in his hotel. He'd pop by, he told me, but I wasn't sure whether I liked that or not. The compound was peaceful, quiet, like it had never been before in all the time that I had spent here.

I knew that the moment I opened my phone I'd see missed calls and messages and aside from a couple of friends that would only call me to check on me, everyone else called with demands or favors. Even her. Even Bruna. She had to know where we stood. Why was she so adamant on this all of a sudden? When we hadn't talked at all in a couple of months? I kicked my dresser, cursing myself. I had started to suspect the worse of people.

Our reunion, if you could call it that, was mostly awkward. She missed me and I missed her, but it felt like the worse time to delve into this. I had to stay focused now.

 My head was a mess. So instead of kicking the dresser I decided to do what I did best. Play.

Olivia's POV

The sun was shining brightly and the grass looked greener. It smelled great too. When I reached the end of the football fields I turned around to look at the compound. It was big - too big. I sat with my back on the fence; sure the guys wouldn't mind me being a bit late. I knew that I should have gone back with them. We didn't know each other well and this was bonding time but I really wanted to walk around the place.

Suddenly a ball appeared out of nowhere. I turned around to see where it came from and saw a guy two fields away. He had purposefully sent the ball flying here. And it was a very accurate throw.

I stood up and run after the ball. I controlled it with my foot. "Great pass!" I yelled for him to hear me. I was about to try to send it back to him; I was sure that I couldn't throw it that far away but then he started running towards me.
