We played with the kids for about half an hour and then we heard the door open and a young boy shout letting people in the house know that he was home.

"Looks like Junior is home. Are you ready to meet him?" I nod and start to feel nervous. I know he is only a kid but what if he doesn't like me. "I'll go down and sort him out then I will come and get you"

He took the twins with him and about 2 minutes later and he returned and took me down to the front room.

"Close your eyes!" Cristiano shouted through to Junior. He walked into the room in front of me to check junior had his eyes closed and to start filming. I then walked into the room and stood in front of Junior. "Okay open your eyes"

His jaw dropped and he jumped up from the couch and leaped into my arms and attacked me with a big hug. "Alyssa!" He shouted as he did it.

"Hey little man" I said hugging him very tightly. I was smiling so much. We pulled away and he looked me in the eyes. His smile was so big and his eyes were sparkling with happiness. He threw his small arms around my neck again and hugged me so tight. I giggled and hugged him back.

"How are you?" I asked once he pulled away.

"I'm very good" he said in his adorable Portuguese accent. We sat down on the sofa and he turned on the TV and put on a show. Georgia left the room and Cris shortly followed. I smiled as Junior moved closer to me and rested his head on my arm. We stated having a conversation and I asked him how training was going and if he wanted to be a footballer when he was older.

"I want to be just like my dad. One of the best in the world" he said looking up and smiling at me. He has hope in his eyes, I know that he jut wanted to make his dad proud of him. "I told dad to hang on a few more years so that I can play with him"

"It will be great to see you two play along side of him. An unstoppable duo most likely" he looked at me and smiled. I know he likes the idea "you know, I work for your dads old club Manchester United"

"Dad told me"

"You should come and play for us one day. I'll still be there since I don't plan on leaving anytime soon"

"That sounds cool. I might if I can" he smiled up at me and we went back to talking about random things.

5 minutes later I heard arguing coming from the kitchen. I let it go at first because maybe it was just a little argument and it didn't happen a lot. I mean couples fight from time to time. It's just part of the relationship. I had no idea what they were talking about because they were arguing in Portuguese.

I looked down at a Junior and he looked sad and fed up. He knew what they were saying and I started to get the feeling based on his reactions that this wasn't just a one time thing.

"Hey Junior?" He looked up at me and hummed in response. "Does this happen often?"

"They are always arguing now"

"How long has this been going on?"

"Ever since dad met you really. I thought it would stop after Alana was born and it did for a week but now they are back to it" he looked so sad.

"Am I what they are arguing about?" I asked starting to feeling worried and guilty.

"Sometimes. Georgia says dad pays more attention to you than her. Don't worry though they aren't arguing about you right now" I nod and try my hardest to ignore what is going on in the other room. I feel so bad. I am the reason this is happening. I'm the reason Junior looks so sad. I caused this.

5 minutes later Cris comes in looked as fed up as Junior if not more and takes a seat on the opposite side of the sofa to me and Junior. He meets my eyes and I gave him a small sympathetic smile. He returns it and looks at the floor then puts his head in his hands.

I get up from my space and sit next to him. I hugged him from the side and he gladly excepted it, moving so he could hug me properly. I felt him bury his head in my neck and I rubbed his back. I then felt a little pair of arms wrap around my shoulder and rest their head on mine and Cris's. Junior had got up to join the hug. I smiled and when I pulled away Cris was too.

"Are you ok?" I said looking at him.

"I mean, I guess. But I don't want to speak about that right now" I nodded and we sat back on the sofa and he rested his head on my shoulder.

Georgia came through with Mateo and Eva and passed them to me and Cris. I sat Eva on my knee and said hi then spoke to Mateo. We then sat on the floor and grabbed some of the toys and started playing. Junior joined in and Cris watched over us smiling.

We played for a while then we had tea and chilled on the sofa until Georgia went to the bath the twins. I sat with Alana in my arms and watched a movie that Cris put on. At 8 the twins and Alana went to bed and at 10 I went upstairs with Junior to put him to bed since I wanted to get changed anyway.

"Goodnight little man" I said kissing his head once he had climbed into bed and laid down. I then left the room and turned out his light. I walked to the guest room and changed into my pyjamas so I was more comfortable.

I walked down the stairs and heard faint shouts coming from the front room. I moved closer so I could listen better.

"You don't care about me anymore! You only care about her!" I heard Georgia shout at him.

"That is not true. Of course I care about you! Alyssa is just a friend. You are the one that I love"

"Bullshit! I know that you are in love with her. I see the way you look at her. You have never looked at me that way"

"Yes because Alyssa is just a friend and I love you. You have always been more than a friend which Alyssa never has been so of course I don't look at you guys the same"

"Stop lying to yourself and everyone around you and just admit it Cristiano!"

"Alyssa" Cris says noticing that I am stood in the doorway.

"I just wanted to come and say goodnight" I smiled slightly and they both says night to me and then I turned around and was about to walk out. I stopped with my hand on the doorframe and turned my head and said "for what it's worth, I'm sorry" I then walked off upstairs and got into my bed for the next few weeks.

I messaged mine, Jesse and Marcus' group chat that we named 'the 3 musketeers ⚽️😝✌️' and told them what had happened. I told them that I was thinking about coming home early so I didn't ruin their relationship. They told me that I was being stupid and what was happening wasn't my fault.

Rashy❤️: look Alyssa, you were so excited to see him and you wouldn't stop talking about it. Don't throw it away and come home just because of this. It's not fair on you. You both know that you guys are nothing more than friends and that's all that matters.

Jlingz❤️: i agree with him Alyssa. You haven't done anything wrong.

Watso❤️: thank you so much guys. I love you more than anything. I'm gonna get some sleep. It's been a long day. Goodnight ❤️

I put my phone on charge and then placed it on the nightstand. I then went to sleep hoping tomorrow would be better.
