In any corner of the world

At first I did not know how to be natural and it could be noticed that I was uncomfortable and shy and then I looked at Bianca that was behind the photographer and making faces at the little girl that was my partner but instead it worked for me and I begin to laugh.

"YES! Don't move now" she shouted
After that I did my best to imagine that I wasn't at a photo shoot and I imagined I am home with Lucas, playing together and having fun and every one in that studio disappeared. Everything was easier after that.

"Ok this is amazing" she said to the photographer when he showed her some of the pictures

"Vitoria!" She shouted at me making a sign with her hand for me to come to her "You are a natural talent" she says giving me a hug and I laughed a little

"I'm glad I could help you, really"

"Can you wait for me like half an hour? And then we can grab a drink and eat something together" she asked me smiling

"Sure I'd like that"

I went with Bianca to a nice restaurant on a rooftop where you could see the magnificent Eiffel Tower. The waitress guided us to our table and she crashed in her chair taking a deep breath and resting her hands on the very pregnant belly she has.

"I could eat everything in this menu" she said looking on the menu "everything it's on me by the way. At least that's how I can pay you back" she smiled

"I said that's no need" I shake my head

"I insist" she frowned at me and I nod in agreement

When the waitress came I ordered a prosciutto pizza and Bianca wanted some shrimp pasta. To be honest it was one of the best pizzas I had but I'm not surprised taking into account that this is a fancy restaurant, right in the middle of Paris with a view to the Eiffel Tower.

"Have you decided on a name?" I ask Bianca after we finished eating

"Arhh no. It's so hard to find a common sense on this subject. I really like the name Valentina. Neymar said he likes Fatima which is also nice. If we won't decide faster on a name she will have like 5 surnames." She said shaking her head "Oh speaking of" she said taking her ringing phone of the table. "Sim amor! Sim, tudo bem.Yeah, I am eating right now. Thank you. Mhm. No. Yeah. What are you doing? Ah alright. See you at home then. Te amo! Tchau amor" she finished her conversation "Sorry that was Ney. Since the baby will be here soon he is even more worried than before, he calls me like 10 times a day to make sure I am ok" she said putting her phone in her back

"That's very sweet of him" I smile at her

During the time I was pregnant I would sometimes think about how it would have been if me and Neymar were doing this together. How he would wake up in the middle of the night to get me whatever I was craving, how he would get so emotional at ultrasounds. But at some point when I realized that this is not ever going to happen it became too painful to think of so I stopped and tried my best to erase him from my mind. Until one day when Lucas was nearly 3 years old. The owner of the farm where I was staying and working lost his father due to old age and I saw him incredibly sad and he told me about the relationship they had and how important was his dad's presence in his life. Then I couldn't lie to myself anymore and had to admit that I am keeping my son from someone who would love and care for him.

"Vito do you know why I asked you to pose for me today?" Bianca asked me looking down

"Because your model canceled?" I said confused

"She didn't. I did not have a model in the first place to be honest. I wanted to be you from the start" she said sucking her lips

"Me? But why?" I said laughing and she gasped
