Haven't met you yet

9. Brazil

Neymar's POV

We walked through the airport with our head down and our hoods up, and still got people asking for our autographs and taking pictures. It was incredibly sunny and hot outside, Brazil's weather always being a warm welcome.

We called a cab and went to my sister Rafa's house, where she was waiting at the entrance with open arms and a huge smile. I haven't seen her in a long time and it felt so right to be home again.

Rafa welcomed Messi like she had known him since they were little kids. She was just so lovely. Everything felt alright when I'm with her, she was like the light of my life and I felt so alone without her... Well that was until I met Lio. He was standing by my side in an awkward silence and embracing his arms.

''So... I need to go to that place. Will you stay with Rafa?'' I put my arms around his shoulder and squeezed.

''Yeah'' he gave me a smirk and entered the house. Rafa glanced at me and winked, making Leo follow her through.

I took Rafa's car and drove as fast as I could. I needed to see Davi right now.

Messi's POV

I entered the house with Rafa. Everything was in perfect order and it looked beautiful.

''Take a seat please. Do you want something to eat or drink?''

''Can I get a glass of water?'' I asked sitting down on the sofa.

''Sure, I'll be right back''

She disappeared into the house and came back holding my glass, and left it at the table that was in front of me and took a seat beside me.

''So, how are things with my brother?''

''We get along very well'' I wet my lips with the liquid and avoided her piercing stare. She put a hand on my knee.

''I'm glad you two do. Ney has had it tough all these years, and it flutters my heart to see him happy''

I leaned back, ''What d'you mean?''

''Didn't he tell you?'' I shook my head.

''I'm not sure I should tell you, it's up to him... But basically our father hasn't take very well his kick for the other team thing''

''What d'you mean with kick for the other team?''

''You know... He's gay'' Ohhhh. Realization kicked in.

''Did he have a lot of trouble with that?''

''Let's just say that he hasn't spoken to our father since''

An awkward silence started to form around us. I couldn't believe it. I thought things with his father were alright... Well I had never asked either. ''I didn't know''

''Oh he didn't tell you he likes guys?''

''No, I actually know that. I mean I didn't know he had trouble with his father, how did it happen?''

''It was after Davi was born. Carolina came home screaming to Ney. He trusted her and explained the situation, but she got it all wrong. She thought Neymar was cheating on her with a guy''

''She's jealous, isn't she?'' It hit me like a rock when I understood why she had taken Davi. It was because of me, right? I got at the edge of the couch. ''Listen, there's something you've got to know''

''What?'' She raised her fine eyebrow.

''He's going to get Davi. He's at Carolina's house right now''
