Maze (A Neymar Jr. Story)

Chapter 6~

        The game against Portugal went very well. Ney scored twice and was named "man of the match", which he completely deserved.  After the game, Camila and I decided to say congratulations to the boys on their victory.  We headed to the dressing room when we heard cheers and yells. We looked at each other and laughed when we saw Ney dancing to his favorite Portuguese pop song. David Luiz, Dani Alves, Marcelo, Bernard, Thiago Silva, Paulinho, Maicon, Willian, Jô, and Fernandhino greeted us with a hug while Ney and the rest danced. When Ney saw me he winked at me and continued dancing, never taking his eyes off me.

        Camila stayed with David Luiz and Thiago, so I leaned against the wall watching his dance.  His smile brought happiness to my heart.  Not long ago had he been in the back of the ambulance,terrified.  He was now as healthy as before and an even stronger player than before the hit. He had always been very motivated to always continue in any situation and never give up. Even in his interview, he was thankful for everything and everyone. His faith in God made him even more likeable to me above his personality and beautiful eyes, lips, and body.

       When the song was over, everyone started filling out of the room until only Ney and I were left .

"You played great Ney!" I said as he embraced me. This time the hug wasn't short. He wouldn't let me go. I didn't want him to. Locked in his arms, I enjoyed every moment of being close to him. When he finally let go he whispered, "Next week is Camila's birthday and I was wondering if you had anything planned."

"Well I was thinking of having a little party with just us, Camila, and Jonathan."

"Sounds great. We can have it at my place on Friday."

"OK sounds fine. I'll meet you at your house on Thursday to go shopping for the food."

"See you then" Ney smiled and I looked for Camila so we could go home. When I found her she grinned and whispered,

"So are you flirting with Ney? I saw him whispering something."

I laughed, " Haha you wish."

     The party we planned for Camila came sooner then we thought. The day before, Ney greeted me at his door. He was wearing my favorite outfit on him. A simple green Nike shirt and black sweatpants with his favorite pair of sneakers, but he looked cute in it. I was wearing a Nike T-shirt also, a gray one, with black skinny jeans and converse. He grabbed his phone off the kitchen counter and we headed out.

      At each stop sign he would take pictures of me and with me. My favorite was us flexing, so I made him post it. Many comments pooled through:

"Você está namorando? "

"Vocês dois sao tão bonitos "

Each of the comments made me smile when he showed me them.

When we arrived at the market, chicken was first on our list since Camila loved it for some reason. Our next items were flour, milk, eggs, oil, and cocoa for the cake I was to make. Steadily, we walked to his Ferrari that he loved so dearly with our arms full and bags of food bulging. With keys in his hand trying not to drop anything, Ney unlocked the car and shoved the items in his hands in the back seat, but with caution not to spill anything on his new car. We hopped in and headed to his house while he sang to every song he knew on the radio.

     Soon, "Rap God" by Eminem came on and he said "Oh no way" and turned the sound up booming loud. He rapped the whole song masterfully without missing a word. His Portuguese accent clung to his voice, making him mispronounce some of the lyrics.

"Lyrics coming at you and super sonic speed..." I sang and smiled at him as he waited for the best part of the song. As he was rapping, he smiled kindly and with a little exhaustion, since he was getting tired.

"Nice try, Ney, but you can't beat the king of rap."

He looked at me with a fakely mad smile. All of a sudden, I realized I was staring at him again. Those beautiful hazel eyes and full lips drove me crazy...
