The Foreigner {Neymar fanfiction}

Chapter 9

What did he mean by "his kind of perfect"? I wasn't perfect, I wasn't anything but confused. Letting go of his hand, I gave him a look to represent my thoughts, but all he did was laugh.

"What's so funny?" I wasn't amused and I wanted Neymar to notice that and to tell me what he was talking about.

"I like you. And I actually think I like you more than liking you" His whole face got red and his voice low, but he confused me even more with his chaotic words.

I took a deep breath before replying. "What?"

He laughed more and more.

"DAMN LUCIANA DA SOUZA MOREIRA I FUCKING FELL FOR YOU... I THINK", he shouted so loud probably the whole hospital could hear him.

"But... you're Neymar", I mumbled after a minute of silence.

"Right now I'm not Neymar. I'm unable to do my job and stuck in a bald hospital, without my friends, family or team. Just with the person I have like, a crush on", he sniveled with his head down.

"Don't say these things. Rafa, your dad and Dani are on their way. I called Carolina and she said it's better if we don't tell Davi about your accident because he would be worried and cry"

"Lu, it's okay. But I thought you'd react differently"

Damn, I was an idiot. He just told me he fell for me and I didn't even react. It felt like I was dazzled by his sight, as if I didn't know what I was doing once he looked at me.

Of course he could have feelings for any girl in the world, no matter who he was, but I couldn't understand that he fell for me, the stupid and ugly girl from the jungle. He never used to like me, he didn't even try to be nice to me at all. He showed me exactly what he thought and never tried to act like he thought differently.

"I'm sorry, you're right"

Should I tell him I liked him too? It was the truth, but I was afraid to admit it.

"I just don't know what to say"

"Well, you could've said you feel the same for me or something like an 'eww'", he said.

I decided to be brave for once, though it wasn't easy for me.

"Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, you're perfect to me. I love your eyes, your smile, the way you touch your hair every two minutes to keep it looking good, your chaotic way of leaving everything on the floor and not cleaning it up, the way you are when you're with your son and even the fact that your singing under the shower is horrible. I love everything about you and all I wish for is to stay with you."

"Woah Lu... I'm in shock... I thought I was cute but you...", he stuttered, "I have to talk to you about something important by the way... First of all, you can stay with me as long as you want because I want you to stay forever. But, there's a but. Next week when I'll be able to leave the hospital and for transport I'll go back to Barcelona"

"Barcelona?" Once again he confused me. He always forgot that I'm more less from another world.

"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot. Barcelona is a city in Spain, many hours away from here. I have to go there because my team is there, I don't only play for Brazil, you know? Dani and I will go there together because he's in my team too", he explained excitedly.

"Alright then, I'll come with you!", I replied enthusiastically.

"That's not so easy, Lu. You'll need a residence permit, your parents need to know about it and you have a job here"
