A loud noise woke me up a few hours later.

"Sorry!" Marina said picking up something from the floor.

"It's okay. What time is it?"

"8:30."

"I slept for a while!"

"Yeah you did."

"Agh, I missed dinner."

"Hurry up we are leaving at 10!"

I nodded. I showered and washed my hair quickly. I put on a high waist short skirt and a crop top.

Seeing Marina putting on her heels, I sighed. "I should put on my heels too?"

"Yeah." She said looking at me.

"I hope I don't fall." I said putting them on. I really hated heels and wore them as less as I could because they were really uncomfortable and I had a balance problem.

"Why not? It would be funny!"

I gave her a pointed look.

"Zip me up, will you?"

I walked over to her and zipped her up. She was wearing a short, tight black dress.

"Are you trying to make Bernard go crazy?" I commented.

"I am not trying. But it would be nice if he did, wouldn't it?" She laughed.

"Well, he definitely will."

We walked towards the hall laughing. When we reached the others who were waiting I noticed Peter raising his eyebrows at Marina. He couldn't take his eyes of her but when she joined Bernard who put his hand on her waist he looked at him like he was about to punch him.

"When did this happen?" David asked me nodding towards them.

"When we weren't looking."

He chuckled. "Sometimes you are as wise as I am." He told me.

"I hope I am not as narcissistic."

"Haha." He mocked me. "So did you do anything about what we talked about?"

"No."

"No? Why not? Wait, didn't Neymar come find you?"

"What? No. Why would he?"

"Um, nevermind."

"David! Did you talk to him?"

"Not since this morning."

"Why would he come find me?" I asked. Did David talk to him, like he did with me? "Did you say something to him?" I asked both terrified and annoyed.

"Is everyone here?" Thiago asked looking around.

"Is Neymar coming?" I asked David quietly. I didn't see him around.

"Let me call Neymar." He said loudly for everyone to hear.

He stepped away to call him and the last thing I heard was the phone ringing. "Neymar is meeting us there." He said coming back.

We all started walking outside. We got split in cars and I followed David to his. Hulk and Thiago were with us so I couldn't ask him about what he said before.

The ride was fun but I wasn't in a very good mood. I wondered what David and Neymar talked about. Did David tell him the same he told me? Did he urge him to come talk to me? And did that mean that Neymar had feelings about me? Or was I completely off base here? There was also the possibility that the article was right and Neymar and Bruna had gotten back together. For all I knew they spend the day together. I sighed. David noticed and shot me a sideways look.

When the car came to a stop I took in my surroundings. We were at a club and the music was blasting loudly.

"We have to find the back door!" I said as soon as I saw the crowd waiting in line. There were even more people than last time.

"Okay let me call Dani. He's probably already inside."

We stayed in the car until a few minutes later we saw a figure coming out from the back. He spoke to David in Portuguese for a while and then the guys opened the doors and got out. I did too and followed the man to the back.

We were almost there when somebody spotted us. It was a girl that yelled so loud that it pierced my ears. We run the rest of the way as fast as we could but I was sure they managed to get a few shots of us.

"It's your stupid hair! It has given us away twice!" I told David when we got inside.

He laughed.

"It's not funny." I said. "I saw the articles."

"You did? They were in Portuguese." He said. I realized he was aware of them but hadn't said anything all this time. I wasn't mad at that, on the contrary it told me that he didn't take those things into account at all and that was a good thing.

"Marina found them." I said.

"Don't lose sleep over it. It's just stupid stuff they right to fill the pages."

"Yeah I know... But still. It sucks having no control over it." I said. "Did you see the one about Neymar and me? And Bruna?"

He nodded. "Some of the guys were talking about it in practice today."

"They were? This is the kind of thing I hate. Did they believe it?"

"Does it matter?" David asked. "If it does to you, it shouldn't."

"Still... I supposed you get immune to it after a while?"

"Of course." He told me. "And if anyone ever gives you a hard time about anything, you talk to me, okay?"

I nodded giving him a small hug.

"Be careful! They might take our picture!" He joked.

I smacked him in the head. I followed him inside the club. It was bigger than the one we went to the other day and it was filled with people. We started walking towards the VIP area but David stopped walking immediately and I bumped into him.

"What happened?" I asked as he turned around. His expression was unreadable. He said something which I didn't hear and he gave a push towards the way we had come. Why did he suddenly want us to go back?

I got my answer, glancing at the VIP area. Neymar was sitting in one of the sofas with somebody and they were kissing.
