My Best Friend's Brother (Neymar Jr Fanfiction)

Travelling (Chapter 1)

I blinked at the blinding ray of sunlight streaming in through the window. Just my luck that it happened to land on my eyes, and nowhere else; like it wanted to blind me. I groaned and threw the blanket off my body, and flicked the curtains shut. The entire room was plunged into a translucent darkness again. A sigh escaped my lips, that was better. I jumped back on bed, wrapping the soft blanket around my body. Just as I was about to fall back to deep sleep, I heard someone walk in. A blurred figure was standing by my bed,

"Get up Larissa, we're gonna miss our flight!" Rafaella exclaimed.
A big moan escaped my lips before I pushed myself up, I was exhausted from lack of sleep. Going out clubbing when you're travelling the next day is not a bright idea but I blame Rafaella.

My best friend of 14 years Rafaella Beckran and myself were heading off to Barcelona today to visit her brother Neymar Jr, I was not looking forward to the long flight since I've always hated flying. I was happy to get away from my life in brazil since I had just broken up with my no good cheating boyfriend of 2 years. I won't go into too much detail because the mention of his name makes my blood boil, as you can see I'm not fully over it, that's why I agreed to go to Barcelona for the summer.

Rafaella's brother, Neymar, is now a worldwide huge football star, he plays for Barcelona FC and is a big idolized figure in brazil. Which means you can't go anywhere without seeing his name or face, but it's still weird for me too see all that because I've known this dorky boy since I was 6.

"Do you have your passport?" Rafaella yelled as we rushed out of the door.

"Yes" I replied in annoyance because she baby's the hell out of me.

"Got your flight ticket?" she asked again before we entered the car.

"Yes" I rolled my eyes in response and she just laughed.

"I can't wait to see Neymar, I haven't seen him in forever!" she happily announced.

"You saw him last month" I laughed, but she wasn't happy with my cocky response.

"I bet you're glad to get away from you know who" she said changing the subject.

My skin crawled with just the thought of my ex "you bet I am" I replied back slightly annoyed. "I'm also open for a summer romance" I winked.

"You're such a flirt Larissa, and that better not be with my brother" she laughed.

I immediately froze and just awkwardly laughed it off, "you know I don't have a crush on him anymore" I protested.

You see ever since I was 10 and neymar was 14, I've had the biggest crush on him. I used to spend all my time at Rafaella's house just so I could see more of him. I was basically Neymar senior's and Nadine's third child. I obviously couldn't keep it a secret as most people could tell I was crushing on him, even Rafaella eventually found out. Sadly to my disliking Neymar has never taken interest in me because I was just a little girl to him, but im no little girl anymore and I can't wait to show him how well puberty has treated me.

"We're here" Rafaella sang happily, but before I had even opened my mouth to reply I was met with the sound of a closing car door.

"Wait for me" I yelled across the car park as I struggled to gather my stuff. Rafaella was like an excited kid on Christmas you wouldn't think we were both 18, but I can't blame her, who wouldn't be excited to see that little hottie. I eventually caught up with Rafaella she was beaming with happiness and we haven't even gotten on the plane yet. As we lined up for check in I caught her staring at the handsome man behind the desk. I started to laugh when she snapped out of her longing gaze

"What?" she glared at me. "Checking out the man behind the desk are we?" "it's impolite to stare" I added.

At that moment her cheeks began to burn up.
"I was admiring that women's suitcase" she replied "whatever" I laughed.

We were all checked in and ready to go, we decided to do some last minute shopping before we headed off. As we wondered around looking for our items an FC Barça shirt caught my attention for obvious reasons, because, of course it had Neymar's name and number on it.

"Rafaella look what I found" She looked up and just smirked and continued shopping.

*ding,ding,ding* "flight 3467 to Barcelona is ready to board I repeat flight 3467 to Barcelona is ready to board" a women announced.

"That's us Larissa" Rafaella cheered. I looked up oblivious to what was going on I was too busy reading a gossip magazine, did you know kim kardashians is pregnant again?

"Larissa lets go" Rafaella called,

"I'm coming, hang on!!" I exclaimed as I ran after her towards the gate.

Luckily we were first in line so we didn't have to wait in a ridiculous que to board the plane.
"Hello! boarding passes please" the women standing next to the airplane door greeted. Rafaella handed our passes to the flight attendant, she quickly checked the tickets and dismissed us through. "Hope you have an enjoyable flight" she called, I beg to differ I thought since the flight is 11 hours and 24 minutes long.

As Rafaella and I settled into our seats she pulled out her phone and started texting someone.
"Just texting Neymar to tell him we're about to fly" she said, as she finished typing her sentence.

"Yeah alright" "is he picking us up at the airport?" I asked.

"Sadly no, he has football training" "but he'll meet us at his house after he gets home from practice" she replied. I was anticipating whether or not I should ask about Neymar's relationship status, I went ahead and blurted the question anyway.

"Is Neymar single?" I blurted immediately regretting it.

Rafaella put down her phone and sighed "so you still have a crush on him I see, and no him and Bruna broke up last month."

I couldn't help but smile when she said he was single but I was still going to deny my crush for him. "Actually no,it was just a general question" I answered.

As the last remaining amount of passengers boarded the plane the captain announced that take off was soon. I couldn't believe I was going to see Neymar after all these years, the last time I saw him I was only 13. This is going to be one hell of a summer.
