Dark Moves Of Love ~ Neymar Jr

Chapter 27

When we reached the port again I gathered all my courage as I descended the stairs. I saw the place was swarmed with paparazzi and Bruna was escorted through them to a car.

"Some of the guys are going out in Rio for a bite since the cruise ended early, are you up for it?" Alex asked me.

"Not really. I feel exhausted." I said as we waited our turn to leave. "But you should go."

He started to protest but I cut him. "Really. I mean it." I said. Discreetly I pushed him behind a wall where no one would see us.

I kissed him on the lips.

"I really don't have to go." He murmured between kisses.

 I giggled. "Oh yeah?"

"I am really exhausted." He said as he moved towards my neck. I closed my eyes and pushed my head back.

"Mmm."

"Alex? Alex?" We heard someone say and pulled apart quickly.

Peter emerged from behind the wall. "Ah, here you are." He said. He looked at us quizzically. "Am I interrupting?"

"No." We both shook our heads but Alex's cheeks were so red they probably gave us away.

"So Marcelo is waiting for us. You are still coming?" Peter asked Alex. The tone in his voice suggested that he thought Alex might ditch him for me and it all must have hit him too close to home after Marina.

"Yeah." Alex said. "Let's go."

It was mayhem out there. Police had arrived to contain the people and we made it to the cars.

We found Marcelo with David and Sarah.

"Sarah this is Alex and Peter, guys this is Sarah, David's girlfriend." I made the introductions.

"We should go." Marcelo said and the guys followed him.

"So what are your plans?" I asked David and Sarah.

"We were thinking of going to dinner too. Would you like to join us?" Sarah asked me.

"No way. You two should go alone."

"And how are you going back?" David asked me.

I knew that if I said I had no idea they would insist on driving me but I didn't want them to miss the chance to go out together after they hadn't seen each other in so long. And seeing David happy was everything.

"I am actually going with the guys." I lied.

"Really? Okay then have a great time!" David said.

I nodded and moved along the parking lot. I saw David and Sarah leave. The parking lot was almost deserted now and no one paid any attention to me so I pulled my hoodie up and started walking.

"And where are you going exactly?" I heard a voice behind me. So much for my great escape plan.

"Thiago." I said when I turned around. I looked at the face he was making, as if he was 007 and couldn't help but smile.

"I hadn't decided." I said.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked me smiling too.

"Sure." I said.

"So where is your other half?" He asked me as we started walking.

I opened my mouth to answer but closed it again, realizing I had no idea who he was referring too. It could be David, Neymar or even Alex.

"Half? I am not sure who you mean."

"You are right. Where are your other quarters?"

"Haha, you are a funny one." I joked. "Isn't that your car?" I asked as we walked past it. "You're gonna leave it here?"
