Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 37

"So I wanted to say thanks for yesterday." David said sliding in the seat next to me.

"No problem. Did it go well?" I asked hopeful. I hadn't seen David at all last night since we left him with Sarah in the game room.

"I'm not so sure. I'm not sure we should keep trying if it doesn't work out." He said, his sadness evident.

"Sarah's the one for you. You said that. You can't give up."

"I'm not always right. Besides look at Neymar and you, you are obviously made for each other but you only cause each other problems."

"Ouch." I said.

"It's true though, isn't it?"

"It's kinda true." I said bitterly. "I guess the only answer is for all of us to give up. But that can't be the answer."

"It can if you're tired of the game." He whispered messing around with the food on his plate.

Practice would start in a few minutes and it was our last open practice before the first game. The compound was swarmed with family members and the press was already gathering.

"Is Sarah coming?" I asked him.

He nodded affirmatively. "Along with my dad."

"Your dad is so great." I said, remembering the time we went out to lunch with him.

"He liked you too." David said, a smile finally appearing on his face. "Hey maybe we should date." David said mischievously. I poked him hard on the rib before I laughed.

From the corner of my eye I saw Neymar with his family. Little Davi was running around, his blond hair ruffled. Rafaella and Neymar Sr. were there too along with Julia.

"David! Olivia!" I heard and saw David's dad approaching with Sarah.

"Marinho! Hi! How are you?" I asked as David and I got up to greet them.

"I'm great!" He said, the smile never leaving his face as he sat down across from us.

"How are you?" I asked Sarah.

"I'm alright." She said reassuringly.

"How are you guys? How's everything here?" Marinho asked us.

"Vamos jogar agora?" I heard from behind me and turned around to see Davi starring up at me.

"Oi Davi!" I smiled at him.

"Oi oi!" he said. "Eu sei que você está jogando com o papai! Vir!"

"Olá Davi!" David told him. Davi greeted everyone impatiently. "He says he knows you are playing with daddy."

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"I think he means football." David clarified. "He wants you to play with him too."

"Yeah I kinda promised him. Okay Davi, vamos!"

Davi smiled and sprinted back to his family.

"I'll see you guys later." I told David and the others and headed towards Neymar's table. "Hi everyone." I said and they greeted me back.

"You don't have to." Neymar said, pointing at Davi, who was waiting with his ball by the door.

"No, I want to." I told him. I saw Rafaella smiling at me.

Neymar nodded. "Let's go." He said and stood up. "I'll see you guys out there." He told his family. Neymar Sr. didn't seem too happy by this.

"About yesterday..." I started.
