I walked up to the door, and opened it to see a woman's face meet mine. She was taller than me, and had a full face of makeup which looked made her look effortlessly pretty.

"Hello, Ms Hayley?"

"Yes. Sorry- who are you?"

"I'm here to get you ready, on behalf of the gala for tonight"

Oh... what the hell. This is what Neymar meant when he said that he had it all sorted...

I looked back at Ross, to which he mouthed 'who is it?' I couldn't exactly mouth back 'a lady to get me ready for the gala' so instead I just opened the door to let her in.

With her, she carried a wrapped up dress, which I assumed was mine. I wish I could see it... and how would Neymar know what size I was?

She carried a big dark grey box, which I could assume was makeup. As she did my makeup, we got to know each other. Her name was Jennifer, and she was a stylist, and makeup artist. She hadn't talked about Neymar or how he had asked her to be here today, yet.

"So how do you know Neymar" she said more tensely, "you know..." she paused, "lots of people would die to be in your position."

I awkwardly smiled at that comment, not sure what to say. "We met about a week ago, in a club"  I said trying to keep in short and snappy. I didn't want to give her any more details than that....

"I want you to know that Neymar and I are really good friends. We have been for a very long time, and he's not told me about you. And just if you were wondering, I am one of the few people to know about his and Bruna's breakup."

What do I say to that? What is she trying to say.. why bother to say that to me...

I didn't say anything, and she gave me a weird look, so I just responded quickly, "Good to know" I knew she was trying to get some sort of reaction out of me, but I've dealt with girls like her.

"I always knew that Neymar liked me, ever since we met a while ago. Always thought he would be wanting to date me after Bruna..." she paused, maybe she was trying for some dramatic effect, "but I guess I was wrong" she said more angrily.

Did I do something to her or did she just really like Neymar... and I'm so confused, what does she want from me.

I chose not to reply, and she just continued to apply makeup to my face. It felt unusual having such a thick layer since I usually didn't do this much, but it looked really sleek and glamorous. It made me feel more confident, and I really liked the way it looked.

I remembered to ask Jennifer at the end for some tips for my makeup. But I'm honestly not sure if she would be keen on that. Since I was now sure she did not like me. I didn't do anything to her, so I think it's because she wants to be in my place... going to this gala.. with Neymar.

After my makeup was done, she revealed my dress which was the most beautiful dress I'd ever seen. It was black, and had intricate gold detailing. And it was for me!

This gala must be very fancy if this is what you are supposed to wear....

~~.~~

When it was time for the gala, and I had the dress, makeup and shoes on. I thanked Jennifer for doing my makeup, to which she warmly replied 'thank you' before leaving, which was a big change from how she was before. But I was not complaining.

Ross had finally come out of my room, and when he saw me his jaw dropped.

"H-h-hayley" He stuttered.

Definitely not used to Ross being flustered, so I gave him a small laugh.

"Y-you look-" before he could finish, my phone started ringing, and the caller ID showed it was Neymar, so he Ross slowly closed his mouth.

I answered and Neymar let me know he was at the front waiting for me, to which I replied I would be out in a second.

I quickly hugged Ross and grabbed my purse, which fit just my phone and a lip gloss. "Bye Ross! See you in a bit, don't have too much fun here without me!"

He just smiled at me; he looked like he was still in shock about something so I smiled back and opened the door.

I saw his car out the front, which was a black Audi R8. As I walked up, I could see that he was standing outside the car waiting for me. He was wearing a full black suit, which hugged his body perfectly. He looked so good, his hair dark and curly.

"Hello Neymar" I said greeting him warmly.

"Hayley, wow. You look so beautiful. The dress looks amazing on you"

I blushed vivaciously at his compliment.

"You don't clean up so bad yourself" I said, pausing, taking a deep breath to calm my erratic heartbeat, "and t-thank you for Jennifer, she sure gave me an unforgettable experience. And also for the dress, it's so beautiful"

"I should be the one who is thanking you, because I get to look at you in this dress all night" 

I blushed even more I thought my face was bright red. I didn't have any response to his comment. This man was doing things to me.

He opened the door for me to get into his car, and the interior was so clean and sleek. He began to drive with his hand on the wheel, I couldn't take my eyes off him. And I caught him looking at me too many times to count.

"The day before yesterday..." he started, and I could not predict what he was going to say next. So many possibilities.

He took one of his hands off the wheel and clenched it beside his leg. "Ross mentioned something about you and him... sleeping in the same bed"

Where was he going with this.....

He paused; and I think that was a hint for me to respond.

"D-do you think there is something going on between me and R-Ross? Because I can assure you there is not" I said, reaching for his hand to reassure him. He took my hand back, which sent butterflies straight to my stomach.

"But I've seen the way he looks at you-"

I butted in, "No, no. Neymar, Ross and I. There is nothing there. I don't feel anything for him like how I do for you"

He smirked at my response, "and what do you feel for me?"

I rolled my eyes before saying, "and how about you and Jennifer" I said before winking at him.
