"Yes!" I jumped and applauded along with the crowd.

After the 90 minutes, Brazil had scored 6 goals and Argentina scored 3 goals. Brazil had won the match and I won my bet.

"See! Brazil won!" I said mockingly.

"Yeah. I'll give you your reward later. Right now I want you to come with me." Eddie stood up, took my wrist and dragged me with him.

We went down to some kind of a weird storage room. There were sports equipment kept there which was a bit confusing.

"Are we still in the stadium?" I asked. He was quiet and he locked the door. "What are you doing Eddie?"

He came really close to me, leaving a distance of only a few inches. Nervously, I stepped back but the wall stopped me.

"You don't know how much I've liked you since the day we met." Smirking, he came close to me again. He kissed my forehead and I felt insecure.

"Eddie stop. I don't like you that way." I quickly pushed him.

"What do you mean? I've done everything to make you like me! Oh you don't know what I can do to you, lady. Right now we are alone. No one will come here."

The way he sounded was really frightening. He pinned my arms on the wall, tightly.

"Eddie, are you crazy? Let go of me!" I shouted but I knew it wouldn't help me.

He started kissing me, and the tears rolled down my eyes. But my legs were still free and I was brave enough to step on his foot fiercly.

With pain, he pulled back. My hands arms were free so I seized the oppurtunity. I ran towards the door, unlocked it and dashed out.

My eyes found a figure, walking towards the door at the end of the corridor.

"I'll get you now!" Eddie was behind me. He caught me and I started to scream with my eyes closed, in hope that the person at the end of the corridor would hear me. "Help! Please do something!"

"Shut up!" Eddie slapped me.

"O que está acontecendo aqui?" My ears could hear footsteps running towards us. The Portuguese voice was so familiar. I could feel Eddie letting go of me. My eyes opened and I found David in front of me.

David grabbed Eddie from his collar. "What were you doing to her?"

Eddie started to turn pale, he was totally speechless.

"David, leave him." I whispered inaudibly but somehow he heard my voice.

"He was performing illegal actions! I have to take him to the police." His grip tightened on Eddie's collar, making him choke slightly.

"He was, but just leave him." I was totally scared but I had mercy on Eddie. David let go of his collar and he ran away.

"Are you alright?" David folded his arms across his chest and looked at me with warm eyes. My answer was a simple nod.

Realizing how late it was, I quickly thanked him and tried to leave the corrdidor.

"Wait, do you need a ride?" He caught up with me.

My legs started to shiver. "But I barely know you. Why should I trust you?"

"I've saved you twice, lady." He smiled but his smile was warmer compared to Eddie's.

He had a good point. This was surely the second time he saved me.

"Fine." I sighed.

He led the way and I followed him, keeping a good distance between us.

"You're new to Brazil?" He asked as we entered the parking lot.

"No. It's been 3 years now." I bit my lower lip nervously.

"And you don't know Portuguese? That is really odd." He replied in a playful tone.

"Portuguese is too tough. I don't understand it." At my reply, he started to giggle.

He had a white lamborghini, an expensive car which suits a football star like himself. David opened the front door for me and I got in.

He got on the driver's seat, put a seat belt around him and started to drive the car. I guided him the way to my home and obediently he followed the directions.

David turned on the radio but turned it off after he saw that nothing good was on. He tried to make a conversation and he succeeded.

"So. Where do you work?"

"I'm a sports teacher." My fingers fiddled as I replied.

"No wonder. You had some good skills yesterday when I saw you playing football with your students. Want to have a friendly match some day, when we meet in future?" He generously smiled.

"Sure." My face pulled on a smile. Finally I started feeling safer.

After a few minutes drive, we reached at my place.

Opening the door, I got out of the car and so did he.

"Come in and have a cup of coffee?" I offered.

He shook his head. "No. That's alright. I need to get going somewhere."

"Okay." I walked towards the door of my house.

"Wait, you didn't even say a goodbye. Can I at least-" He paused and looked a bit nervous but somehow he found enough courage to complete his sentence. "-know your name?"

That was so rude of me. I was lost in my thoughts and I didn't even say a thank you or a good bye.

"Areesh is my name. Thank you David, for everything. Goodbye."

"Bye. Take care, clumsy girl." He waved his hand with a huge grin on his face.
