MY BESTFRIEND'S STEPSISTER (A NEYMAR JR FANFIC)

CHAPTER 14 - TRYING TO FORGET

3 months had passed, it was now May. Ingrid felt so terribly humiliated at Paulo's party that she decided she would block Neymar on all social medias and move on. Dating or even getting involved with someone so famous was a mistake, she thought to herself.

Yes Neymar tried to reach her during this time. The day after the party he called her at least a hundred times but Ingrid had already blocked him. He even texted Gala, Messi and Suárez for help. They contacted Ingrid but she said she didn't want to hear his lame apologies.

Kylian demanded explanations from his friend and Neymar swore nothing happened and he never wanted to hurt her. Nonetheless, Kylian felt as disappointed as ever and stopped being friends with Ney.

INGRID'S POV

Champions League ended soon for the PSG team. I didn't watch their matches but I heard Neymar did a lame performance in the last matches and the fans were hella mad at him. Kylian was sad about the outcome of the season. Barça, on the other hand, made it to the finals and I felt super proud of them. Meanwhile, I had been focusing on university. I had lots of exams and I spent the majority of my free time in the university's library.

In April, I saw a cute boy in the library who kept looking at me. I looked away at first but I kept seeing him in the same spot every single day. I eventually stared back at him thinking "what the heck does he want?". He had dark hair and a beautiful smile. He also had uh hazel eyes, but not as pretty as N-Ney's. It still hurt to even say his name.

2 weeks later, he finally approached me.

"Hey, i'm Marco. What's your name?" - he said with a soft smile, sitting in front of me.

"I'm Ingrid"- I replied softly.

We started talking after that. He was a medicine student in the same campus. He was one year older and he seemed mature. He made me laugh a lot, which I appreciated. At this point, we had been talking for over 2 weeks. I felt butterflies in my stomach when I checked my phone and saw he had texted me, even though i was scared of being hurt again.

Marco: Ing do you wanna hang out this afternoon? We could grab an icecream :)

Damn, he did know how to charm me.

Me: I'd like to, but I can't today. I'm meeting up with a friend :(

Marco: Don't worry about it. Another time?

Me: Yes ofc :)

Marco: :)))

I got dressed nicely and put some makeup on. I was going to the movies to watch the latest movie with Jason Statham, my all time favourite actor.

I got to the cinema right on time (surprisingly, I know) and I saw my friend sitting alone with a cap on and looking at his phone. I decided to try to scare him since he was zoned out.

"BOO!"- I yelled touching his shoulders.

"You're unbelievable" - Sergi said dropping his phone, the screen of it cracking.

"Omg i'm so so sorry, I'll fix it" - I said picking it up, slightly panicking.

"You won't fix anything Ing, I'm rich, I'll buy a new phone" - he said smiling and giving me a tight hug laughing at how worried I looked.

"Yeah true" - I said hugging him back.

After the incident, we entered the cinema and a man guided us to our seats. Enjoy your movie Mr. Roberto. Yeah you heard it right, Sergi Roberto had become one of my closest friends and it was always a fun time to be with him.

"Why are we the only people here?" - I asked confused.

"Because it's a movie for 2" - he said proudly.

"You reserved the place for us 2?" - I asked shocked.

"Yes ma'am. Wanted to spend some time alone with you before your birthday" - he said with the cutest smile. That warmed my heart so I kissed his cheek.

Sergi and I were only friends but there was some sexual tension between us recently. I said I wouldn't fall for another football player so I was trying to stick to my words.

"We totally need popcorn. I'll go fast, before the movie starts" - I said.

"Want me to go with you?" - Sergi asked.

"Nono, you stay here"

"Take this" - he said handing me a 50 euros bill.

"No, I'll pay" - I said and left before he could answer.

"Gosh she's so stubborn, i love it" - Sergi muttered to himself.

I found my way to the food shop of the cinema and waited in line. A couple catched my eye while I was waiting... Is that Marco? With a girl? Just what I needed, perfect.

I got the popcorn and a big sized coke drink and I made my way to them. He turned around and appeared shocked when he saw me.

"Oh hey Marco! Who are you with?" - I put my fakest smile ever.

"I'm his girlfriend. Who are you???" - she said rudely.

"Oh really? That's great. Just know your boyfriend flirts with other girls at university" - I said and poured my big drink on his head, wetting his hair, face and clothes and leaving him super sticky. It felt amazing.

I started making my way back to Sergi while hearing the girl scream at Marco like there was no tomorrow. Once again I felt hurt and disappointed. It happened to me again...

When I arrived, my mood had completely changed. The movie had started and I wasn't even paying attention. Sergi noticed and asked me what was wrong. I tried to brush it off but I couldn't lie to him. He got so mad when I told him that he wanted to confront Marco.

"It's not worth it Sergi, que le den"

"You're right" - he started to calm down. "Just know I'm here for you, anytime"

"You're a sweetheart, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" - I asked wiping away the tears on my face.

"Waiting for the right one" - he said helping wipe my tears away and caressing my right cheek with his thumb.

We moved a little on our seats and the tension was completely undeniable at this point. I got closer to him and he placed his hand on the back of my neck and connected our lips together. The kiss was sweet and tender but full of passion. Sergi stopped the kiss for a few seconds and whispered on my mouth "I have liked you since I first saw you". Those words where the sign for me to stand up from my seat and sit on his lap, my legs around his torso. The kiss got more intense, we were hungry for each other even tho we had been denying it.

We only stopped when there was this huge explosion in the movie that startled me and made me hug him tight like a lil kid when they're scared.

"It's okay" - he said putting a strand of hair behind one of my ears.

"Let's watch the movie, shall we?" - I suggested.

"I'd rather stare at you but okay" - he said licking his lips, which was super hot.

I sat on my seat and he put his left arm around my body, both watching the movie.

Sergi drove me home and walked me to the front door. It was a lil awkward considering we only had friendly conversations until now. We said goodbye to each other and he kissed my lips softly one last time. I entered the building and my cheeks were burning from excitement. I felt incredible at this very moment. Sergi is all I ever wanted in a partner, maybe I should reconsider dating a footballer.

I got out of the elevator and opened the door of our apartment.

"Ingrid! You have a package! It's in your room" - my dad said to me.

"Okay, thanks dad"

I walked into my bedroom and I found this huge package on my bed. There was a note too that read "I miss you so unbelievably much. I'm sorry for hurting you. I hope you can give me a second chance. I still love you" - NJR.
