Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 7

"Oli! Wake up! We are seriously going to be late!" I heard Marina say as she shook me. I opened my eyes quickly. She had already gone in the bathroom.

"Morning." I said but I hadn't yet moved.

"Seriously get up." She said emerging from the bathroom.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Late. Breakfast ends in half an hour."

"Mmmm." I murmured.

Suddenly she was sitting in the side of my bed. "You look awfully happy! What happened yesterday?"

"What do you mean?" I asked innocently.

"I mean with that guy we have yet to see!"

"We are just friends. I mean, we aren't even friends yet, I've known him for two days."

"A lot can happen in two days." She winked at me and stood up again.

"Speaking from experience?" I teased her.

"Maybe." She winked at me again.

"Peter." I said. It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah... I guess."

"Spill."

"I'm not so sure it's going to go anywhere. He wants to, but..."

"Do you want to?"

"Maybe... I mean yeah. Oh I don't know! He's a good guy but... we are in Brazil. You know what I mean?" she asked, looking at me expectantly.

I nodded.

"Does that make me a bitch?" she asked.

"No. Of course not. And you're allowed to have a few days to make up your mind."

"Thanks Oli." She smiled at me. "Now get up and get ready!" she shouted.

When we walked in the restaurant it was still full of people. They had taken all the tables and linked them to form a giant pi shaped table. These guys were definitely a team, I thought.

"Morning sleepyheads." Alex said, his blonde hair standing out amidst all the Brazilians.

"Morning everyone!" I said and received a ton of mornings in result.

"Breakfast hours are extended, so you have time to get something." Alex said.

We walked towards the kitchen and from the corner of my eye I thought I saw Juninho leaving the room. That was odd, he would have said "hi", wouldn't he?

"Good morning Meerene!" I said to the cook once we reached the kitchen.

"Hello Olivia." She greeted me warmly.

"You look exhausted." I noticed.

"We have been cooking non-stop for two hours. I had forgotten how much footballers eat." She signed as she unloaded bacon on the tray again.

"And they never keep any of it on." Marina whined adding only some egg whites and toast on her plate.

We said goodbye to Meerene and headed towards the table. There was an empty seat next to Peter and I told Marina to sit. She mouthed thank you as I sat a few seats down next to Thiago and across from David and Hulk.

"Hey guys." I said and they all answered. They introduced me to Hulk whom I hadn't met officially yet. "I wanna say I am sorry for yesterday. I overreacted, thinking it was about me."
