Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 30

Bruna let her fork fall from her hand, hitting the plate making a deafening sound. Everyone turned to look at her and Neymar and I exchanged a worried glance.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked - he seemed worried for Bruna since he was the only one not knowing what had just happened.

"You said nothing happened." Bruna turned to look at Neymar. She had an accusatory look on her face, but her eyes were glistening. I felt terrible.

"Nothing happened." Neymar said raising his hand in the air in a calming motion.

"Oh really? So you didn't go on a date using a fake name?" She asked him, her voice harsh.

"What?" Alex asked.

Bruna noticed him and turned to him. "They have been lying to us all along! Juninho is his nickname since he was a kid!"

"Is this true?" Alex turned towards me. He had a hurt look in his eyes.

"No!" I said quickly.

"Bruna..." Neymar said grabbing her hand but she jerked it away.

"You are a liar." She turned to me. "You have been hitting on him all along! Articles lie but photos don't!" She said and pulled out her phone.

"Please don't do this." I said. I felt horrible and I was about to lose it.

She turned it towards me and there was a picture of Neymar and me, soaked in the fountain so close our faces almost touching.

"You know that they came to me first with this? Asking me to pay money so that they won't publish it! Because I am the one that should pay for my boyfriend cheating on me!" Bruna said, her face red with anger.

"Please..." I said again, my vision blurry.

"I am not the one who should be ashamed!" Bruna said.

"Excuse me." Alex stood up.

"Alex don't go please."

"I'm sorry Liv but they only reason I was invited here was to witness your humiliation and I'm not gonna do that." He said, looking at Bruna.

"Let me come with you." I said wiping a tear from my eye. To my relief he nodded and started walking out.

I stood up and David was about to say something but Bruna interrupted: "Aren't you going to pay your share?" She asked me bitterly. "Or am I supposed to pay that too?"

"Bruna!" Sarah yelled.

With shaking hands I fished the wallet out of my bag. I took out all the cash I had in it, not sure how much it was and put it on the table. I glanced at Neymar but he had his head down, looking at his plate. I turned around to leave, wiping the tears off my eyes so that I would be able to see where I was going. I saw Alex waiting in the hall.

"Is there a back door please?" I asked a waiter. He pointed towards it and we headed that way quickly.

When the door closed behind us I leaned to the wall for support and started crying. To my surprise Alex started stroking my hair.

"That was horrible." He said. "I knew something was up as soon as you told me she wanted all of us to go out together. She didn't even look at me twice at the yacht."

"It's not like she said." I manage to say between sobs.

"I know." He said. "I believe you."

The back door opened again and Sarah and David emerged.

"Are you guys okay?" Sarah asked.

"We're fine." Alex said as Sarah offered me a handkerchief.

"I'm gonna get the car." David said disappearing inside again.
