Tugging Heartstrings | Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter 10

"Thanks for coming Ney" Catalina said as she sat in her friends car as she had to embarrassingly call him to pick her up.

"No problem, but if I may ask why am I picking you up" he didn't ask for the reason when she first called as he immediately picked up on her distress voice and was on the way to the address she sent him before she even hung up the call.

"Let's just say a date with Cristiano was not how I expected to be" she didn't want to throw the man under the bus as she knew how far fetch Neymar could be.

"Why did the idiot do something to upset you because I'll turn this car around" he made a motion of a u-turn before Catalina smacked his arm away playfully.

"Not it's fine and he wouldn't even be there if you did" she huffed out as she turned the music more up to change the conversation, but Neymar wanted not such part of that.

"Did he stand you up" he screeched as he quickly pulled over on the sideline to give her his complete and utter attention.

"No he just had to leave early and didn't even give me a proper reason" she tried to play it off as she didn't want to seem to upset at the news.

"See I knew he was a dick" the 'I told you so' was something Neymar never forgets when it comes to arguments with Catalina.

"Can we just drive please" her voice was quite as she felt like an idiot at the moment and Neymar picking up on this did as she told and remained quiet.

"How about we head to my house and have a sleepover" he asked.

"I don't know I sort of want to be in the comfort of my home right now" she argued.

"Davi and Rafaela are there" he bargained.

"Alright but can I pick the movie first" she gave in as some good friendly comfort could probably do her good right now and in this moment she couldn't be more thankful for a great friend like Neymar.

On the other side of town unbeknownst to the Argentinian was a frantic Portuguese who ran into the restaurant in search of his girl. Going to their table his heart stopped at the fact that there at the table sat another couple. His head started turning in search of the footballer as she couldn't have gone that far without a car.

"Cristiano your back so soon" Emanuel said confused by his presence again.

"Yeah I was actually looking for Catalina" he asked not once stopping to pay attention to the man as he looked for the girl.

"You just missed her as she just left" the man stated.

"How I was her ride" Cris all but yelled at the man as he was just as confused.

"I don't know but a gentleman in a nice shiny sports cars picked her up and she seemed to know him" the man walked away as his attention was needed elsewhere.

Cristiano's mind thought frantically over who it could be. Obviously she knew a lot of people so even his best guess couldn't have been right. Storming out he made his way back into his car and went on his way back to Marcelo's house to pick up his son. While doing so he called the Argentinian multiple times which she didn't answer one of them and he couldn't even blame her for not picking up as he knew she was upset just like any rational person would be. Pulling up to the drive way he looked at his phone one more time in hope of a response but was met by a blank slate.
