Love, Lies & War (David Luiz)

A Face in the Crowd - David

As I head across the pitch and look back at Inessa running towards a taxi in tears Oscar and Thiago run over

"What the fuck dude..that was your chance" Oscar calls out

"Yeah..you blew it big time bro" Thiago adds

"Yeah I know...I just lost it a bit" I sigh

"That love for you bro" Thiago says

"Yeah loves a a bitch" Oscar announces

I just turn to look at him and just start laughing hysterically

"What dude?" Oscars whines

"What do you know about love..you're like 12" I laugh

Thiago starts laughing as Oscar kicks the air huffing loudly as we head back to the rest of the guys to finish off practice.

After practice we all head back to the hotel and head straight to my room falling onto my bed. My thoughts soon rush to freckles and what a dick I head been to her. I can't believe I let her run off crying as despite everything I loved the girl like crazy and I did understand were she had been coming from, I was just so cross after her going missing for so long and not saying a word I mean I'd hardly slept with fear. I began thinking about when I'd first seen her walk onto the pitch in London, she was incredible not like any other girl I'd seen before with her badass attitude and smoking hot appearance I was completely mind blown, and then when she got drunk at Layla's house party lord she was cute that night. I start to feel my eyelids get heavy and soon pass off to sleep.

I wake up the next morning to a loud knock on my door

"Wake up dude..it's game day motherfuckkaaa" I hear Thiago shout through the door

I open the door to see his giddy face bouncing up and down

"You ready bro?"

"Just a min"

I head back into my room and change into some nike sweats my green Brazil shirt and some nike trainers and head out the door

We arrive to the locker room after a bit of practice at the stadium and throw on my football gear. I go to pull my jersey on and notice a note ion to the front

I'm sorry & good luck today xxx

It was from freckles and as I pull my jersey on over my head I suddenly smell freckles perfume on the collar. I couldn't help but smile to myself I had always loved the girly flowery scent of her skin as she would run around or lie sleeping next to me.

As we all head out through the tunnel and onto the pitch ready for the national anthem I spot freckles on the front row in front of me sat next to my sister, mum, dad and Layla I can't help but smile when I catch her eye pulling my jersey up to my noise and laughing.

The game goes really well at 18 minutes in i score the first goal but Sanchez then makes it a tie scoring a goal at 32 minutes in. After full time it's still a tie and we're all starting to cramp up badly even the other team are struggling with it. After the extra 30minutes the goal still holds at 1-1 so it goes to penalties. I'm up first for Brazil and score the feeling is too good to explain with Brazil watching the pressure is really on so to score twice is insane. Marcelo and Neymar score but Hulks misses, at the end of the penalties we've won..we've won!! Everyone from the Brazil team runs onto the pitch screaming and cheering as we all hug, cry and pray. I look up into the stands and see my family and the love of my life jumping up and down screaming and cheering, I think my parents are even crying at this point.

After the celebrations and press duties we all head back to the hotel I'm sore everywhere with cramp so head up to my room with Thiago and the physiologist to try and sort my legs out. After a somewhat painful leg massage I fall onto the bed and pass out falling to sleep.

Few hours later I wake up to Thiago shaking my shoulder

"Yo bro get up"

"What" I grumble pulling the pillow over my head

"Let's get some room service and get ready for some celebrations tonight"

"Ummm" I mumble pulling myself out of bed

After some food and a few shots I get changed into some black jeans and shirt and head out with Thiago grouping together with the rest of the guys in the lobby.

"Come onnn, everyone's already there" Neymar moans

We jump in a few taxis and head to club, walking past the long que and heading straight into the club and to the upstairs VIP area. I head to the bar with Oscar and Thiago and order some beers and a few shots and begin scanning the room. I finally see Inessa but she's talking to Cavalo and some other guys laughing and flicking her hair a lot. So I decide to order some more shots and head over to Marcelo whose talking to two girls.

I start talking to some attractive long legged blonde but soon realise she a complete idiot, but when I see Inessa still talking to them guys I decide to go ahead and flirt with this girl. I'm working my lines and putting on the charm as I see freckles stood with Layla looking over in my direction looking like Bambi caught in the headlights. I realise this blonde is pretty much dry humping me at the bar as I look over to freckles catching her eyes. She breaks our stare and turns off heading in the other direction as Layla comes storming up to me

"What you playing at" she barks

"Umm what" I reply slightly dumbfounded

"You do love her right"

"Always"

"Then do explain your logic of dry humping some leggy blonde at the bar to me"

"She was over there flirting with some huge guy"

"That's Kimble..don't you remember him from London..he's here to watch the last few matches..you idiot"

"Fuck" I admit

"Yeah" she laughs crossing her arms

"Where's she gone" I ask urgently

"She's left pal"

But before she finishes her sentence I'm running out of the club and into the street. I stand outside the entrance looking around for her and then I see her..shes sat on the curb with James Rodriguez
