Tugging Heartstrings | Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter 24

"Hello" she greeted the shy kid not wanting to startle him as he just stared at her blankly.

"H–Hi" he stuttered out as he couldn't believe the sight.

"I'm Catalina it's nice to meet you" trying to break the awkwardness, she introduced herself formerly not wanting to scare him. After realizing her attempts went no where she continued.

"And that must make you Cristiano Junior. You look like the exact copy of your father" from the mop of curly hair on his head to his tanned skin no one could deny the similarities.

"You know my Pai?" the answer was obvious as other wise she wouldn't be standing in his house, but she engaged in the conversation as this was the first real sentence he's said to her.

"Yeah we're sort of friends" that was the simplest way to put it.

"That's so cool" all of a sudden his face turned excited as the information processed.

"Really" she found it cute how fast his mood changed.

"Yeah now you can play football with me and Pai" her heart burst at the idea but she needed to keep that under the wrap.

"I'm not too sure your Pai would like that considering I beat him last time" this received a giggle out of the boy.

"No way you beat my dad" in his entire life never had he seen someone beat his dad 1 vs 1.

"Your right she didn't. She cheated" startled by his voice she tuned to see Cris leaning against the wall watching them interact.

"I did not" she argued once more as Cris Jr. watch it all happen with amused eyes.

"That what the cheater always says" he smiled.

"Wow you are ridiculous" shaking her head with disbelief she turned to look at the clock that was placed on he wall and her eyes widen at the time.

"Well Cristiano and Mini Cristiano as much fun as it was to meet you I have to go" how could she let herself get sidetracked this much.

"Where you going? I thought I convinced you to have breakfast with me–us" now that Jr. was here it was the perfect chance to introduce them.

"I really wish I could but I actually have business to attend while I'm here" this would've been so much easier if she would've just visited for fun not businesses .

"Maybe I can help you with this business" wow did he ever sound clingy.

"Cristiano I have it covered besides I just have to make the appearance and talk for a while"

"Can I know of this business that's keeping you away from our breakfast" his mind raced with the worst possibility that she got cold feet at meeting Junior and was actually trying to head back home by letting him off easy.

"Well it was suppose to be a surprise but I guess I'll make an exception for you. Catalina Couture will now be opening its second shop in Madrid"

Her clothing brand was going off in a big hit as her clothes was going off the racks quicker than she could replace them. The new branch in her business was still new to her as she tried to balance all her accounts on her own. While she had a few boutiques in Spain mostly Barcelona only one belonged to Madrid which would now change. People often thought it was because the rivalry between her club and theirs, but the real reason was finding an empty storefront was especially hard in the capital of the country.

"That's great new Itzy" making the walk to her she was embraced in a congratulations hug.

"Thank you thats why I was in such a rush. So I could get ready for the grand opening" she wants to look her best.
