Marcelo’s POV –
I quickly hung up from Neymar and texted Oscar about the whole thing. I was so tired but I let him know that I told Neymar but I told him that we shouldn’t make it obvious to Eliana when he texts her. He agreed to our little plan and I told him to text her later like when he was about to sleep and knowing Oscar, he will sleep late.
I couldn’t believe that Eliana had a boyfriend, only 14 turning 15 pretty soon. It just didn’t make any sense. We were all practically like her brothers. Her and Rafaella had everybody on the teams numbers and we always texted them, mostly annoying them. They were our sisters literally. I just didn’t understand. And why was she angry? Eliana never gets angry, never. She only gets pissed off but she’ll never be angry or shout angrily. Never.
Oscar and I just kept texting afterwards. Saturday was going to be a big day for us. Even without Neymar, we were sure to win this match with Germany after all; the whole of Brazil was counting on us.
Eliana’s POV –
It was near the end of the movie that the doorbell rang.
*RING RING RING*
“Who is it?” I said half sleeping.
“It’s us sweetheart.” Dad replied. I quickly unlocked the door and Davi ran straight past me and hugged them.
“Hey big boy.” Mom smiled. “Did he sleep?” She turned to me.
“Yeah ages ago. He woke up crying so I changed his clothes and we’re watching Rio now.” I answered. She nodded and I closed the door.
It was about 7:55 pm and Mom got Davi ready for sleep again. She gave him a shower and put on his pyjamas. I got his milk ready with a little honey and went upstairs to give it to him. Dad and Davi were going to the park tomorrow so he needed to sleep now. I was so tired and especially as it is the end of the school year, I got lazier than ever. Tomorrow being the last day was going to be a half day so I would finish at 12:30 and head to the academy for only 1 hour tomorrow before taking Davi to see Neymar. I had my plan ready for tomorrow.
I went back to watch the film but Dad lay on the sofa with Mom sitting on his legs. I sat on the carpet and motioned Cruz to come to me. He came and put his head on my lap.
“Good boy Cruz.” I whispered and patted his head. I remember when Neymar bought me Cruz but of course he was for the whole family. He couldn’t just be my dog. But he got it for me as a birthday present 2 years ago.
***(FLASHBACK – August the 8th 2012)***
“Wake up Eliana. Wake up.” Neymar shook me. I opened my eyes slowly to see a shirtless Neymar on my bed. Woah.
“What do you want? Get off my bed.” I yawned pushing my hands on his chest but he just smirked at me. Of course I couldn’t move him.
“Oh shut up. Guess what it is today?” He said and began jumping on my bed.
“Is it the world cup? What…?” I answered. He stopped jumping and gave me a weird look.
“That was 2 years ago you idiot. It’s your birthday today as well as Mom and Dad’s 28th Anniversary. God you more idiotic than me. And that’s saying something.” He laughed at his own joke. So lame.
