My Unexpected Soulmate ||| Cristiano Ronaldo 🤍

Chapter 12

"Happy birthday day to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Cristiano! Happy birthday to you!" Me and the kids sang as I walked over to the table holding a football cake. Replicas of all the trophies that he has won over his career of playing professionally were placed neatly on the top along side 32 normal candles and 2 numbered candles in the numbers 3 and 4 to show his age.

"Make a wish!" I told him as I placed the cake in front of him.

He closed his eyes and about 20 seconds later he took a deep breathe and blew out all of the candles. Me and the kids clapped and smiled. Cristiano smiled too and thanked us all for the cake.

"Ok so do you want to do presents now?" I asked, taking the cake back to the kitchen.

"Ok." He said. The presents were next to him on the table so he grabbed his first one and began opening it. I took this opportunity to run upstairs to grab the present that I bought him.

I jogged back downstairs with the box wrapped in gold paper in my hand. I walked into the kitchen were I left them and they weren't there so I went to the living room to see Cris pinning Junior down tickling him. Both of them were laughing and the twins were sat on the floor looking at them, giggling in their little baby giggle, clapping their hands. Alana was watching from her little rocking chair, a smile on her face. I love this. Seeing them all happy.

Cris started kissing Juniors head and then sat up. I flopped on the sofa beside him and handed him the box.

"Happy birthday honey." I smiled at him and he smiled back before tearing the paper to reveal a black Nike box. He opened it showing the boots that I had personalised for him. They were black with a gold Nike tick on the side and his nickname "CR7" on the opposite side. There were gold studs on the bottom. I had the words "You will always be the #1 in my eyes" just underneath the CR7.

He took them out of the box and admired them. He turned to me with a massive smile on his face. "Thank you!" He moved the box and pulled me into a hug. When we pulled away he opened up the envelope that was next to the present and pulled out the card. He opened it up and started reading what I had said.

'To Cristiano,

Happy birthday honey. I hope you have the best day. We have only known each other for about 3 months now but it's been the best 3 months ever. Meeting you was the best moment of my life. Not only did I meet someone who turned out to be my best friend but I also met my idol. My favourite footballer in the world. Someone who I had looked up to and watched on my TV for like 16 years. It is a moment that I will never forget. I am so grateful for you and I hope you know that you mean everything to me. I was in love with you for 16 years and now you're the person I go to with everything. We have had our ups and downs but I'm so happy that I know I will always have you. You make me smile, laugh and yes you have made me cry, you have even pissed me off when you left Man Utd but you are my favourite person to ever exist and the fact that you even know me is mind blowing. I hope you have the best day ever with me and the kids. I love you so so much. Happy 34th birthday!

Lots of love,
Alyssa xx

"Awww, I love you!" He said pulling me into his side for a hug once he had placed down the card. "You mean so much to me!" He unwrapped his arm from my shoulder and took his other off my waist and I sat up straight.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked standing up and making my way to the kitchen to get a drink. Cris followed behind me.

"I don't know, I was thinking maybe just a movie day with you and the kids. You go home in a few days and I have a game tomorrow so this may be one of the last full days we can spend together. So I just want to be around you." He said, leaning against the kitchen side.
