My Unexpected Soulmate ||| Cristiano Ronaldo 🤍

Chapter 19!

"How did you two meet again?" Molly asks me as I take a sip from my glass.

"Well we were at a game and he came over to speak to the head physio because he knew him from when he was at Manchester United and then John introduced us. From then we just became really close." I said looking Cris in the eye. I couldn't stop the huge smile from spreading across my face.

"So are you two together or?" Brook asked. Molly slapped his arm and glared at him. "What?! I can't tell."

Me and Cris just laughed. "No, we aren't." Cris eventually clarified.

"Why not?" Brook said taking a swig of his beer.

"Well I've only recently gone through a break up so I'm not really looking to be in a relationship. Also I don't think Alyssa would want to be with me since I have 4 kids." He says looking between Molly and Brook but never at me.

"What are you talking about. You know those kids are like my own." I said. Why would he think that of everything would be a reason I wouldn't be his girlfriend. I never even said I wouldn't. Cris just nodded at me.

"What happened between you and your ex? If you don't mind me asking." Molly said from beside me.

"Um, basically she didn't like that me and Alyssa were friends so she decided she couldn't do it any more and left me."

"On your own with 3 kids and a newborn!" I pointed out. My blood was started to boil remembering her and what she did and that phone call from Cris.

"That's such an awful thing to do!" Molly said. "I would never leave Brook with Lyla even now when she's not a new born. I don't think I could leave her, she's my baby. It makes me sick to think some mums can do that."

"She makes me so mad. She broke his heart and then we had to tell Junior and his little face when we told him just broke me. He doesn't deserve that. He finally had a mother figure and this shit happens. How is that fair on the poor boy."

Cris sees my anger and places his hand on top of mine to calm me down. "He has you now. And you are not going anywhere." My eyes meet his and tears begin build up.

"It's just not fair on him you know." My voice started to break "I will never leave that kid. He is the best kid in the world. He is so sweet and full of light."

"He seems really sweet, he's shy but if you were to stick around to see him open up, he seems like he could be the best thing to ever happen to a person." Molly said wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

"He really is. I have so many memories of when I was in Turin both times and it was just us two together. Cris would be at training and the others were asleep or they would be downstairs and me and Junior would be in his room or something and he would do the funniest things. He always does his best to make me laugh. It's one reason I love him." I say smiling at Cris.

"I remember before he even met Alyssa, he would always ask about her or always tell me that I had to face time her then and there because he wanted to show her something or tell her what he had done at school. I was never aloud a minute to myself to talk to my best friend because she was, and I quote 'all mine dad, not yours'. He really loves you." A huge smile spreads across my face at his sweet words.

"He came straight up to me when we first met and gave me a huge cuddle. He squeezed so tight, I thought he would kill me. He would come up to me everyday and say 'hey look what I did' and show me a drawing or a football trick. He is the cutest. Just like his dad." I smile at Cris.
