Tugging Heartstrings | Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter 29

Enjoying the last night they had of peace together the couple ignored both their phones being blown up. Catalina had to have about 50 missed calls and double the amount for messages from just her brothers alone. Cristiano wasn't doing that well on his half either as his phone continued to be abused due to Sergio's nom stop calling. Overall the notifications fell death to their ears as they relished in the last few moments of peace.

"You think this will blow over soon" she asked him although ultimately knowing the answer.

"I would hope so but we both know they're going to keep making up rumors by the minute"

Even when the heat of the moment calmed down there would always be some report of it in the future. That's just the way there world was, something could've happened years ago but it would always haunt them in the future and present. It didn't help that they were two of the biggest stars in their sport which only added to fire. He could only imagine how this would go later on down the road when their relationship was exposed.

"Yeah but hopefully our friends and family are understanding" they both gave each other looks filled with anxiety.

"Yeah" the silence that remained upon them wasn't awkward but filled with understanding.

There life wasn't perfect nor did they claim to have a horrible one, but sometimes privacy was all they wanted. Lina knew this would be a hard shell to crack on their friends as Cristiano's teammates were like his brother similar to her relationship with her boys. Like most brothers she assumed they would be protective and loyal, but she couldn't quite make that assumption yet as she didn't know them. Maybe in time she would grow a strong relationship with the people in his life just like she hoped he would for hers.

"Do you need help packing" they had about a few hours before Cris and Junior had to be at the airport for their flight back to Madrid.

"No mostly everything's pack but I left some essentials for when we return" the smile that spread across her face at those words was missed by Cristiano who was in deep thought.

"When you return?" she instigated with a raised brown.

"Yes your stuck with us now" in all honesty Cristiano could say he's become attached to her already and it seemed Junior was following in his footsteps.

"Is that so? Well in that case be prepared for some of my stuff to be placed at your house for when I visit" maybe it was a gigantic leap for the new relationship but they didn't care why not enjoy the time they had before the world ruined it. Plus it wasn't like she was moving in.

"I more then prepared in fact I would move you in entirely if I wasn't so scared of frightening you with how clingy I can get" something the world failed to realize about him was that he gets attached to things and never lets them go and this didn't falter with her.

"Slow your roll, you haven't even met my family" all her boyfriends would have to get approved by her father before anything serious happen as she couldn't trust her brothers to make harsh comments.

"Set up the date and I will gladly do so. I already know they'll love me" he said cockily.

"A little confident are we?" did he really think her parents were easy to win over because they weren't especially to their little girl who was their golden child.

"Well I'm good with parents, but if I meet your family you have to meet mine although I think my mother already adores you" his mother was not one to shy away from her love for the girl as she thought her charity work and work ethic was honorable.

"How?" I mean she found it hard to believe how his mother was not weary of her as most mothers are with their son.

"Maybe she's sees you for how I do" moving strands of curly hair that got in her way he kept his hand resting on her check rubbing it affectionately.
