Neymar's POV:

'Where did you go last nigh?' Bruna asked me as soon as I entered the kitchen.

'I went for a walk.'

'For a walk?' she raised her eyebrows.

'Yes.' I turned to look at her. 'I needed to clear my head.'

'Because of her?'

'What are you talking about?' I said pouring myself some coffee.

'Isn't she back in Paris?'

'Who is she?'

Play dumb and try not to argue.

'Neymar!' she said sternly, making me look at her. 'Did you go to see Irina last night?'

'What?' I chuckled. 'No.'

'What if I ask her, huh?' she said taking out her phone. 'What would she say?'

'Go ahead.' I took a bite from the croissant. 'Be my guest.'

There's no way she was going to message her. She was just trying to get it out of me.

Just like I expected, she put the phone back into her pocket and walked into the garden.

Irina's POV:

It was now the next day and me and Luca were getting ready to go to the training centre. We decided not to crash at Kylian's, as we probably would've stayed up all night and that wasn't very ideal.

'Are you sure you're okay?' Luca asked softly.

'Yes.' I nodded my head. 'I think I needed that. I needed to tell him those things.' I smiled softly. 'And most certainly, he needed to hear those things.'

'We don't have to go to work.'

'No, I don't.' I laughed. 'But you do.' I grabbed my car keys and stepped out the apartment.

'Woah, woah, woah.' he said grabbing me. 'Who said you're the one driving?'

'This is technically my car.' I smiled and pushed him. 'So I did.'

'What?' he asked confused. 'No!'

'Yes.' I unlocked the car.

Luca stepped in front of me, blocking me from opening the driver's door.

'Luca...' I frowned my eyebrows.

'This is my baby now.'

I didn't say anything, just stared at him, waiting for him to move.

After a few moments, he threw his hands in defeat. 'You always do this.' he shook his head. 'Always giving me this look.' he walked to the passenger seat.

'And this is exactly why I love you.' I laughed and climbed into the car.

***

After greeting the players, I took a seat in the stands.

'Can I join you?' Leandro asked me.

'Sure.' I smiled. 'Are you already tired of training?' I chuckled.

'I know we just met and that I have no business whatsoever about what's going on your life.' he smiled. 'But I would like to say something to you, if that's okay.'

'How bad can it be?' I laughed.

'After you left, Luca and Kylian had eachother.' he nodded his head. 'But then I came, and Neymar had me.'

'Neymar had Kylian and Luca too.'

'Yeah, but not like before.' he shrugged his shoulders. 'And... I know about what happened. Then and last night.' he let out a sigh. 'And as much as I love Neymar, I think you did the right thing.'

'You do?' I asked surprised.

'Yes.' he nodded his head. 'Neymar comes with a lot of baggage.' he chuckled. 'But sometimes, life has to offer you certain lessons. And I think you've been his biggest lesson. And I'm glad you stayed a lesson.'

Without saying anything, I hugged the sincere man. 'Thank you.' I said quietly.

'You're a good girl Irina.' he smiled. 'And you deserve the world.' his blue eyes met mine.

'I'm a bit sad that you weren't here when I was.' I laughed. 'We could've been great friends.'

'We can still be.' he chuckled.

***

Galtier called a meeting, to which I was invited aswell.

'Okay, so tonight we have a little party that we will all be attending.' he smiled. 'Including you, Irina.' he winked at me, making me laugh. 'And like always, I want you all to be on your best behaviour and not jeopardise your images or the club's.'

'Was this supposed to happen?' I quietly asked Luca.

'I didn't know about it.'

'Neither did I.' Kylian shrugged his shoulders.

***

After leaving the training centre a bit earlier with Luca so I can go and buy myself something to wear for tonight we headed home to start getting ready.

'Since when do you cover up this much for a party?' Luca chuckled as we stepped out the car.

'It's more of a party work.' I rolled my eyes. 'I can't show up naked, can I?'

'I don't think anyone would have a problem with that.' he winked, making me hit him with my bag.

We walked into the venue, my eyes widening to how many people there were.

'Isn't this meant to be a work party?' I asked.

'Work party doesn't always mean people that work at the place.' he laughed. 'Associates, close friends, etc.'

Kylian came rushing towards us. 'S.O.S.' he said almost out of breath. His eyes then fell on me, straightening himself up, a smile appearing on his face. 'Oh, you look good.'

Before being able to say anything, Luca spoke up. 'Oh, thank you Kylian.' he rolled his eyes. 'Thanks for acknowledging me too.' he hit him playfully.

'You look delicious.' Kylian said blowing a kiss to Luca, all three laughing.

'What happened?' I asked confused.

'Neymar is here too.'

'And?' I chuckled.

'And so is she.'
