Tugging Heartstrings | Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter 15

While Catalina was getting ready for the match she never expected to be interrupted nonetheless in the girls locker room. She had just finished putting on her red game jersey which she quite liked before one of the girls called for her.

"Yes" she responded back lightly not trying to show her annoyance with being disturbed.

One thing that anyone should know about Catalina is that you never disturb her before a game official or not. She valued this time extremely as it basically set the tone for how she played and it was relatively her only time of peace which most should understand she had very little of. So trying to show courtesy to her new temporary teammate she let it slide as she new they were accustomed to her yet.

"There's someone outside who wants a word with you" the poor girl was stuck with playing interpreter for the two.

"Well if it was anyone that I would want to speak with they would know not to disturb me at this time" yes it was quite rude of her to shew said mystery person away, but right now she didn't care because most likely it was one of her boys just have clingy issues and her best bet was that it was Neymar trying to play jokes.

"They said it's urgent" it took the girl who she now realized as Jasmine to respond as she was replaying the messages.

"Fine tell them to give me a minute" giving up on lacing up her boots she slid on her previous shoes to get the talk over with.

Walking out the door the person who greeted her was a big shock. She thought that after how things ended last time they seen each other that it would be enough to get her message across of not wanting to speak with him. Apparently her message wasn't clear enough.

"What do you want" she replied bluntly already fed up with him.

"Well hello to you too sunshine" he remarked sarcastically after her tone.

"Listen Ronaldo I have a game to play so if your going to be sarcastic then your wasting my time" she turned to go back into the locker room but he grabbed her wrist turning her back around to face him.

"I'm sorry and not just for the sarcasm, but everything that went wrong before that as well" he told her with all the sincerity he could muster as he didn't want her to think he was joking.

"Well it took you long enough to apologize" she let a small smile peak out but it quickly diminished as she realized she shouldn't forgive him that easily.

"Actually I've been apologizing since a couple of days ago you just didn't bother to accept my calls or messages to see them" there was a tad bit of sadness that hit him after he realized how long ago they could've made up if she simply answered him.

"Well the shit you pulled last Saturday would've made anyone ignore you for a couple days and rightfully so" yeah she was a very proud person and she could tell he was as well meaning they were going to have some slight disagreements especially when it came to apologizing.

"Last Saturday wasn't exactly my finest moment" he admitted bashfully scratching his head trying to ease of some guilt.

"Yeah I could tell" while she did forgive him she also wasn't going to be easy on him.

"It's just that I panicked when my son called me crying and my father instincts just kicked in and I left without a thought" blaming his son for his mistakes wasn't his brightest moment but it was the truth.

"Was he fine" she may have been upset in the moment it happened but no way was she heartless enough to ignore a crying child.

"Little Cristiano's was fine" smiling he realized she forgot her anger for a moment to ask about his son.
