Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 32

The game was very intense. And I was just watching. My feet hadn't yet make contact with the ball, I stayed near the center as I watched the other team attacking. Neymar was the only other player of our team above the half-way line. When he saw me looking at him he approached me.

"I don't think you can go wherever you please. You have a position." I told him. Even if this was a game on the spot it still counted as practice and Scolari was watching and barking instructions to the players.

"We are actually not supposed to stay in one place." He told me. "I run as least 20 kilometers every game."

"Good for you." I said and started moving away. Since we weren't supposed to stay in one place and all.

"Hey where are you going?" He complained. "I need to talk to you."

"No." I said. "No, no. No more talking about it. It's done."

"I want to talk to you about the game."

"Oh." I said turning around. I felt foolish.

"I am captain and all." He said giving me sluggish smile. "So here is what we are going to do."

"Un-fucking-believable!" David said for the tenth time.

"Oh c'mon." I said as we walked back.

"You scored!" He chuckled. "You fucking scored."

"Anyone could have done that. It was practically served to me."

"No it wasn't."

"Alex." I said as soon as I heard him.

"It was a good goal." He told me before he walked away.

I let out a big breath.

"At least he talked to you." David said.

"I have to go talk to him."

"Livvie! If we aren't careful you might steal our job from us!" Dani joked as he passed by us.

I chuckled. "Please, he served it to me on a plate. Everyone was blocking him and I was empty. All I had to do was shoot it in."

"Through Julio. You know... The NT's goalkeeper."

"Who was already away from the posts anyway."

"Are you ever going to accept a compliment?" David asked throwing his hands up.

"Alright." I said, smiling at him at last.

It was the best game of my life. There is nothing like playing with some of the best players in the world. And scoring too? I would never have imagined that in my wildest dreams.

The truth was that Neymar had set that up for me alright. He caught the ball near the half-way line and went past every defender but Peter who was blocking me. And when he did, he threw the ball at me. Julio was already out of the posts and all I had to do was aim. It wasn't that hard.

"Liv, I have it all on video!" Marina said. "You were amazing!"

"I don't want to see that!" I said as soon as Marina took out her phone.

"I do." David said.

I left them there watching the video and I headed back to the compound, looking for Alex.

He opened the door on the third knock.

"Hey Ale-" I started saying. He had just gotten out of the shower and only had a towel around him. His blond hair was dripping on his shoulders. "Should I... Should I come back later?"
