Choices

Chapter 8

"Hellooo Lisa, I asked you something! Where were u?"
My mum snapped me out of my thoughts.
" Oh umm, I had to go to the toilet. Sorry."
I just couldn't tell the truth. Would they even believe me? I think they would laugh because who would ever want to speak to me? At least not such a handsome guy.
Well maybe they don't think about it like that but I don't think they would like to hear it because they really do support Eden. Maybe even more than they support me in what I do. They just want the best for him and I would ruin it if I talked to Neymar. That's what they think, i'm sure about that.
So it's better that they know nothing. For now. Not that I am going to speak to him again.
" Oh okay. Well, let's go now."
" are we not going to celebrate the match? They played so good."
" of course! I told Eden that we were going to a bar here in London and the teammates were coming too so we're going there now. They will come when they're ready. "
" Oh okay then."
I jumped in the car and we drove off.
I sat next to Selena." you didn't go to the toilet, am I right?" Sel whispered to me while we were driving.
" why do u think that?"
" because I know you. It was like you really were thinking what to say to your parents like they may not know something."
" how do you know that?" I asked in unbelief. How did she know me so well? Okay, we do know each other for a while now but not from when we were babies or something.
" It's a gift." She smiled.
" but what is it then? What took you so long there? And you look really happy too by the way."
"I'll tell you when we're out the car."
"You make me nervous. Did u meet someone or something?"
"Maybe" I smiled wide.
" you did meet someone!" She screamed out.
"What's going on there?" My mum asked.
"Nothing mum"
I turned back to Selena.
"Don't talk so loud." I whispered back to her.
" sorry. But who the hell did you meet?"
" i'll tell u later."

We arrived at the bar and I jumped out of the car. Selena ran beside me.
"Well? Tell me now!"
" okay okay. I talked to Neymar."
"You what? Is he the one you're so happy about? And how did u meet?"
She kept asking questions.
" wow wow, not all at the same time. I bumped into him while I texted u back. I wasn't really paying attention and just bumped into him and yeah especially him."
She looked at me amazed.
" so you didn't even have to put an effort anymore."
"Nope and I had to talk to him right? Now it's your turn and since he's still coming to this bar, it's your chance!"
" yeah but I still can't believe you really talked to him! How was he? Was he friendly?"
" yeah, he was. It was awkward at first but at the end I still got his numberrr. "
" you what? You have neymar jr's number? HOW CRAZY IS THAT!?"
"I know!"
" did u ask for it?"
"No, he did."
"Omggg! Lisa, I should go for it. He totally likes you."
"Why do u think that?"
" he asks for your number so he wants to see you again. That's pretty clear!"
" he said that he wants to see me again."
" he did? OMFG!!"
She was so excited like really, I don't know why.
" are u guys coming or what?" My mum asked.
"Yeah, we'll come."
We got inside the bar and took a seat at a table in the back. We ordered some drinks and talked a bit while we were waiting for the boys to come.
" I really can't believe you met him." Selena said again all of a sudden.
" are u talking about this again?"
"It's just so crazy! Don't you realize that u talk to THE Neymar Jr? One of the best football players in the world?" She said.
" Well yeah. He's just a normal guy, really."
" Really? I would totally freak out if he would talk to me."
"That's the worst thing you can do" I said.
" why?"
" they don't like that girls are screaming into their face." I said as an understatement.
" well, you only live once."
I laughed because of her reaction.
" so, what are u gonna do? Are u going to meet him again?"
" I don't know. I don't know how or when. He probably leaves again tomorrow. He's not staying here."
"Maybe he stays for you and you have his number for a reason."
" shut up. This doesn't happen in real life. I'm not living in a dream."
"oh girl, you sure are. You are now living so many girls dreams."
I thought about that. I don't know if that was true. I've grown up with football so it's normal for me to have friends who are football players but meeting neymar wasn't supposed to happen but it did. Is it luck or just happened to be?
