Chapter 15

***

I really want to hide from everyone right now. My birthday has been ruined and i just saw Eden coming to the parking lot, i want to explain everything but he ignored me and left.

I don't know if my birthday is over or not but i don't want to celebrate it anymore. I took a taxi and get back to my condo. I borrowed some money from Roger the security to paid for the taxi, i left my phone and purse at the birthday venue.

I asked Roger to throw all the balloons and the flowers bouquet away from my room. All of these doesn't mean anything to me anymore. I headed to my bedroom and i found Neymar sitting at the edge of my bed.

"How did you get in?" I asked, my voice cracked because i cried too much tonight.

"Bianca told me the combination code." He answered. "Why did you left?"

"I have nothing to celebrate anymore."

"I haven't wish you a Happy Birthday yet."

"It's over Ney." I pushed him away until he get to my door. "I want to sleep and you should go back to your house."

"There are still two minutes left before your birthday's over." He reach my hand. "Happy Birthday."

He pulled out a box from his suit pocket and when i opened it, it was a really beautiful necklace and Neymar helped me to wear that necklace.

"It's beautiful." I smiled at him.

"I saw you walking away when you saw me outside the venue, why?"

I don't even want to admit my feelings for him anymore. I know this will turn out to be one of those pathetic unrequited love stories.

"Nothing."

"Is it because of the girl that trying to kiss me?" He raise one of his eyebrow and i look away from him. "She's a drunk girl trying to tease me but i pushed her away when i saw you."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not kissing someone tonight and there's someone who was trying to kiss you, so i guess you win. You already prove it to me that you don't like me. Congratulations." I sound like a pathetic girl here. I throw my gaze away because i know if i look at him any further, i will cry again.

"The girl that i want to kiss tonight is you stupid." He cupped my cheeks. "I admit that i have feelings for you."

"But you—"

He crashed his lips into mine and the warmth of his kiss really overwhelming me for this moment. Our gaze met in the middle of our kiss, he is so beautiful. As much i don't want to admit, the man that i thought was a flirt already successfully stealing my heart.

"I know you're tired, you should get some sleep." He caressed my hair.

He noticed the dark circles under my eyes so he asked me to change my dress and remove my messy makeup because of crying. I changed into my sleepwear and crawl to my bed.

"Please stay.." I pleaded.

He took off his suit and wearing only boxers before he lay himself at the other side of the bed. He brought me to his chest and keep caressing my hair until i fall asleep.

The morning when i woke up, i heard a little snore from Neymar and i stare at him before i wake myself up from the bed.

"Buenos días princesa," He spoke with his morning voice and tucked the strands of my hair behind my ears.

"Good morning too."

I kissed his lips and get up from my bed to make us breakfast. I made him a french toast and strawberry juice for this morning. Sadly, i have to go to work so i couldn't spend the first day of our relationship. If he consider this as a relationship.
