Football's Golden Girl | Neymar Jr.

Chapter 11

Amara's POV

The morning after yesterday I didn't feel so good I mean who would when the guys you like has been sending you mixed signals I mean one minute their calling you princess and giving you hugs and the next their running off after giving you a kiss on the cheek. Knowing I had practiced today and I couldn't be late if I wanted to stay on the starting team for this Saturday I changed. Not having any effort to even try with my outfit I put on the most basic thing as when I get to the locker rooms I'll be changing into workout gear anyways. Making my way downstairs I chose to just have my usual iced coffee with a piece of banana bread I made Wednesday night.

Finishing it off quickly as I checked the time and seen how long I've actually been dosing off. Racing to the front door I grabbed my keys and was about to make my way out but before I can even get into my Audi I was stopped by Elijah my security guard. Oh yeah did I forgot to mention my dad wasn't playing when he said he assigned someone to guard me while I was over here. So far Elijah was a cool dude I mean he was around my age, was nice, and could make a joke but sometimes he could be to protective he was like another Augustus.

"Where do you think your going missy" thinking he was joking I replied with a obvious voice "To practice where else would I be going". At that he dropped the tuff act and was back to his cinnamon roll self "Do you want me to drive you their and I could pick you up after I know how tired you are after practice". Appreciating his kindness I agreed and handed him the keys to drive.

Arriving at practice I got there the same time as Mapi who by the look on her face looked shocked to see me arrive with Elijah. I just barley now realized that she has never met Elijah neither has anybody else as he has never been to any of my practices or at my house when people are over. Just in general he was never discussed so I knew I had explaining to do and it would probably be difficult.

So getting off the car and saying goodbye to Elijah I told him what time to pick me up and then went up to Mapi to explain. Before I could talk she already spoke "Whose is that? I thought you had a thing for Neymar. Was yesterday's date that bad" laughing at her assumptions I told her the truth. "First of all that guy you saw in car was my bodyguard Elijah he just doesn't dress like one so in public he can blend in and second of all mine and Neymar's date was fine" processing the information she then replied with the one question I didn't have a answer to "You never answered my question about your thing with Neymar and fine isn't good".

Knowing I needed someone else's opinion on my situation I told her the truth. "Don't get me wrong I know I have feelings for a Neymar I just don't know if he returns them like yesterday we had a perfect date or what I thought was a date, I even met his son Davi who get along with me very well. I mean I just... I just don't know with him I mean one minute I think we're more than friends and then the other minute I'm closing my eyes thinking he's going to kiss me only for him to kiss me on the cheek" judging by her face I could tell she was also confused.

"Okay how about instead of playing a guessing game with your feelings about each other you sit down and just tell him how you feel" feeling slightly embarrassed on how I didn't just think of that sooner I replied back. "And when will that be because I texted him and I also called him for the past day and he still hasn't replied . I think he's ignoring me". Arriving at our locker rooms to get changed we were approached by Leila before Mapi even had a chance to reply "Hey did you guys hear today we have a joined practice with the men's team". After Leila walked away Mapi gave me the "this is your chance look" to which I just shook my head and said "Let's just go get changed"

After getting changed and arriving on the field I saw the boys which was weird as I was use to just seeing women. Lacing up my boots I noticed Leo, Gerard, and Luis waving at me to which I waved back. Noticing a certain someone next to them I stopped waving and went to join my girls. If he wanted to ignore me I would do exactly the same.

Neymar's POV

"So what up with you and Amara" I heard Gerard ask as we're were doing group drills with Leo and Luis. "What do you mean Amara and I are fine" I quickly denied. "No you guys aren't you literally ignored her just a few minutes ago and you guys are usually together 24/7 so spill what happened" him saying that got a Luis and Leo's attention as they stopped and listened to what I had to say. "Okay well when we went out on a date and she met Davi for the first time" Luis interrupted me this time "What did she and Davi not get along". That was actually the complete opposite of their relationship.

"No her and Davi got along perfectly but through the whole day we had little couple moments here and there so at the end of the night when I dropped her of I was going to kiss her and as we were both leaning in, I chickened out last minute and kissed her cheek instead". Receiving sympathetic looks from them, Leo asked me a question this time "Did you at least explain to her why you didn't kiss her". Shaking my head no "I was embarrassed and still am so I think if I just ignore it it'll go away". At that Gerard suddenly had a guilty face "What is it Gerard" looking at me with nothing but sorry he said "Look it's not my place to say this to you as I don't know the full story but I saw Amara get dropped of by some guy this morning".

Looking at him with confusion I said "What guy are you sure he wasn't a cab driver" shaking his head Gerard responded something that made my face drop. "He was driving her Audi and they looked pretty close plus he was a good looking dude around her age" getting faces from Leo and Luis, Gerard defended himself. "What he was a good looking dude I was just being honest" trying to cheer me up Leo told me something that I thought about all practice. "Before jumping to conclusions why don't you just ask her about who he is and apologize while your at it" so thats exactly what I planned to do.

Amara's POV

After a awkward practice that consisted me strategically avoiding Neymar we made our way back to the lockers to shower and head on home. Exiting the shower I got a text from Elijah saying he was outside already, so not wanting to keep him waiting I changed quickly and made my way outside after saying goodbye to everyone. Walking out the locker room I noticed Neymar talking with Leo nearby and once we made contact I tried to walk away as fast as possible as he quickly said goodbye to Leo and followed me.

"Come on Amara let's just talk" talk now he wants to talk! "Oh now you want to talk but, what about this morning when you ignored me" not slowing down I made my way down the halls with him hot on my heels. "Look can we just go somewhere to discuss this in private" he said latching on to my hand "No we can't, earlier we could've but you were to busy ignoring me and now I have to meet someone". My last couple of words made him angry "What you mean your little boyfriend. Yeah I know all about him how can you stand here and give me crap about what happened last night when you have a boyfriend".

His words got me angry snatching my hand out of his I replied just as angry as him if not more "He's not my boyfriend asshole he's my bodyguard if you wouldn't have ignored me you would know he drove me to practice today and what is it to you if I have a boyfriend or not it's not like we were dating or anything". Walking away after saying that Neymar just stood there shocked as we have never argued seriously. This gave me the perfect time to make it to my car without interruptions this time.

"Hey I was thinking... oh shit are you alright Amara did someone do anything to you if so show me where he's at and I'll handle him". At Elijah's words I wiped away my tears as when I get frustrated I cry. Tiredly I replied "No just an argument with a friend so how about let head home and order some pizza". Agreeing he drove off while I was looking back in the passenger mirror watching Neymar exit the building and I watched as his eyes followed my car speed away.
