Déjà Vu (Neymar)

Chapter 31: Blackmail

"Where is Neymar?" I asked while taking a sip of that cocktail.

It tasted sweet and delicious, nothing like alcohol.

"Who knows, he just left me," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Thais...can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure babe," she said, enjoying her cocktail.

"Do you know Melissa? She knows Marc, Eric, and Sergi" I said.

She gave me a strange look and asked, "Melissa Jiménez?"

"I don't know her family name," I said, but I gave her a description of how she looked.

"Yeah, that's her! It's Marc's ex, didn't you know?" she frowned.

"Marc's ex?" I asked, perplexed.

"Yeah, they have been together 3 years or something," she said, finishing her cocktail.

"I...didn't know," I said, faintly.

"Oh my god, I need to pee! Wait here!" she squealed and ran off.

So Melissa was Marc's ex! That might have explained Marc's strange behavior. I wondered what had happened between them and where Marc was right now. I looked around, but I saw no one I recognized. I finished my cocktail and felt a little tipsy. I decided to get some fresh air and took the lift down. I was sure Thais would be fine by herself. The lift stopped on ground zero. I walked outside. The fresh night air did me good because I felt warm and sweaty after all that dancing.

"Olive, what are you doing here?" I heard a male voice.

"My god! I almost got a heart attack!" I yelled, holding my heart.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

I sat down next to him on the stairs and focused on my breathing.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I could ask you the same question," he sighed.

I shrugged and we were in complete silence for a while.

"I was dancing with Thais a little ago," I said, randomly.

"Yeah, she loves dancing," Neymar said, seeming uninterested.

"What are you doing out here all alone instead of celebrating your victory?" I asked.

"I wanted to be alone," he said.

"Are you okay Neymar?" I asked because I was worried.

"Yeah," he said.

I decided not to push it any further if he didn't want to talk about it.

"Why are you here and not with Marc?" he suddenly asked.

"Melissa is here too," I blurted out.

He looked a little surprised.

"Marc's ex?" he asked.

I nodded and looked down.

"But he loves you, so why do you seem upset about it?" he frowned.

I shrugged.

"Olive what's it? Spit it out," he asked.

"Marc seemed upset or something when he saw her. I didn't even know she was his ex," I sighed.

"He probably didn't expect to see her here," Neymar said.

"I don't know, I have this strange feeling," I said.

"Olive, I think that's called jealousy," Neymar smirked.

I sighed deeply.

"Maybe, I don't know," I said.
