Chapter 8: It will be so awkward between us. Though, I can’t turn back now, can I? I sighed and just followed her. I can’t avoid him and ignore him forever, can I? No, that’s just childish. I am a grown up, and I have to act like a grown up in situations like this. “Meet the team!” Raquel said. “Hi” I said. “Hold on, Ariel right? Weren’t you at Camp Nou this morning? At the photoshoot?” Messi asked. “Yes, I was actually” I replied. “Wait, so you have already met them?” Raquel asked. “No, he just read my mind” I said, sarcastically. “Really? You can read minds?” Raquel gasped. “No! Of course I’ve already met them!” I said. “Oh.. I knew that” she mumbled. We all burst into laughter, as her face turned bright red. “So, does anyone know where Dani and Ney are?” Rafinha asked. “Oh, they texted me before and said that they are on their way” Adriano said. “Of course, always late” Messi rolled his eyes.
We all started to talk to each other, mainly about football and upcoming matches since they are footballers. “Ah, there they are” Pique said. He gestured for someone to come over here. “Why are you guys so late?” Messi asked. “It’s fashionable” Dani said. “Where is Neymar?” Messi asked. “In the loo” Dani chuckled. I stood there and listened to them, I really didn’t want to see him again. I was so upset that he left and never contacted or anything! Though like I told myself before, I am grown up.
[Neymar’s POV]
I left the restroom and walked towards the group, when I spotted Ariel with them. Our eyes met, and it caused a little tension in the room. She looked away and completely ignored the fact that I was here. Why was she so annoyed at me? I didn’t understand. So I thought that the only way I could find out, is by talking to her, but how?
“So shall we get some food? I am starving!” Ivan said. “Yeah, me too. Let’s go” Rafinha said. This was my chance, and probably the only one. I grabbed Ariel’s arm, gently. She turned around and her facial expression changed from soft to angry. “What do you want?” she asked, coldly. “Ariel.. we need to talk. Please” I begged.
➡️Ooh! Will they talk? Night lovelies! ❤️⬅️
