Decent Essays

As he waits for his food Neymar takes note of his surroundings. The tables are beginning to fill up. There are several outside tables encircling the pool under the shade of the structural building. At the tables were arrays of couples. There is a young couple holding hands and gazing at each other with heart eyes. There’s an elderly married couple enjoying the warmth of the outsides just chatting. There is a family of four, a mother, a father and the two boys, laughing their troubles away. Neymar looks away, it was all too domestic.
The table in front of him is occupied by a sole person. The person has the menu raised covering their face. A waitress, Ana, Neymar believes is her name, appears at the person's table. The person seems to give …show more content…

Neymar furtively wipes his sweaty hands on his jeans. "Yeah, hey, long time no see." Neymar acknowledges.

"Call me naïve, but I love talking to new people." James throws Neymar a shy smile. Neymar smiles too hiding his nervousness. He nibbles on his cheese bread.
There's a short silence as the two eat. Neymar brings back conversation. "So who do you think is going to win the World Cup?"
"Colombia." James blurts out. Neymar raises a questioning eyebrow. "Did I say it that too fast?" James laughs hiding his flustered face.
Neymar chortles. James' cheeks are a pink tint. His hands are covering his face, but Neymar could still see the color rising from his neck upward. "Let me take a wild guess and say you're Colombian."
"What gave it away?" James peers through a space between his fingers.
"Hmm I don't know." Neymar teases. "Maybe by how you take your
