Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 9

On the way back David and I went with Oscar and his girlfriend since Juninho had taken David's car. We dropped her off and then continued to Granja Comary, arriving there a little before dawn.

"How are you guys going to practice in the morning is beyond me." I said getting out of the car.

"Oh it won't be just us love." David said grabbing me in his arms and messing my hair with his hands.

"Yeah but I won't have to physically move. Just run simulations." I said as we walked towards the compound.

They both laughed. "You don't know Scolari well. Everyone does the exercises. Even the coaches."

"You may not do anything with a football but you'll do the rest." Oscar said.

"Oh God. Then we shouldn't have gone out tonight." I murmured already visualizing how tired I will be tomorrow.

"That is true. But we knew the consequences." David said as we reached the hall. The player rooms were on the left and ours on the right.

"See you guys in the morning. I had a very good time today." I told them and gave each of them a little hug.

"Sweet dreams Liv."

I walked towards my room but I saw a shadow on the corridor and froze. The figure started moving towards me and I took a step back. When he came into the light I saw it was Juninho.

"Juninho! You scared the shit out of me!" I told him punching him in the chest. He gave me an apologetic look. He looked miserable. "What's wrong?" I asked him. "Why did you leave without saying anything?" I asked.

"I wasn't feeling good." He told me. He was looking down the whole time.

"I hope you feel better by tomorrow. Is it something you drank or...?" I started but he nodded no. "Do you want some tea?" He nodded negatively again. "Then why are you here?" I finally asked.

"I am so sorry Livvie."

"What for?" I asked him. "I'm not mad that you left, if that's it."

"No, that's not it." He told me.

"Then what is it?" I asked him.

We heard a door open and close down the hall. If I remembered correctly it was Scolari's door.

"Shit! Why is he up already?" I asked Juninho. If he found us here he would be mad. "You have to go! We will talk about this tomorrow, okay?" I told him, urging him to leave.

I turned around and got in my room quickly. I put on my pajamas and laid down. I was so tired; I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Waking up in the morning I felt as bad as I thought I would. My eyes had black circles below them.

"You look like you had a good time." Marina commented.

"I did." I said choosing not to mention Juninho at all. "How about you?"

"Me too." She said and giggled.

As we were getting ready I made her tell me about her dinner with Peter.

"After dinner we walked around the compound talking. It was like a date. We kissed goodnight."

"How was it?" I asked.

"It was good."

"So you are considering it?" I asked her.

"I am. But... Oh God, 4 years in the same university, same major, why didn't we meet earlier?"

"Well look at the bright side. You did meet." I told her.
