"What is your problem" Catalina asked with clear anger laced in her voice.

"MY PROBLEM?! What's there's? They show up in our city and think they can make demands" Geri screeched in disbelief as she didn't see what was clearly going on.

"They are not making demands Geri they asked nicely if you could corporate for just one small thing for me" sometimes it felt like she was talking to a wall instead of her friend as he stood there staring blankly at her.

"Don't you see what they're doing Itzel. First they set this trap so you get with their little cult leader, then they put these thoughts into your head until you hate us" he's lost it. That's all Catalina could say in regards of him.

"Are you delusional they don't need to put thoughts in my head cause your doing a good enough job for all of them in keeping me away from you guys" last time she checked none of the Madrid boys made him act like a complete asshole to her.

"I'm just trying to protect you what are you not getting. Your our little sister, our responsibility" this was one of the prime reasons Geri and the boys never wanted her dating because all relationships involving someone else of celebrity status is nothing but drama.

"I'm not your responsibility" god could they stop treating her like a frail child and instead more like the adult she is.

"You became my responsibility the second you stepped foot into the locker room making fun of Leo and making up those stupid jokes of yours" how could he ever forget her when her personality walked through the door before she could.

"My jokes are not stupid" okay that was a lie as some of them revolved just a simple random noise that had her and Ney laughing first then the rest of them following.

"They really are but that's okay because we love them"

"Hey don't change the subject! For real Geri I need to know why you hate them so much and I don't want none of that rival bullshit or he's no good for you or your my little sister shit. I need a real genuine reason" at this point there had to be a genuine reason why Geri always seemed more angry and hostile towards the Madrid boys then the rest of her friends. She had a feeling that this went past football.

"My problem is not with the rest of the Madrid boys but Cristiano...well maybe a little with Sergio but that's expected" that stupid tattooed asshole always finds a way to get under his skin.

"Why?" the only think that could've happened had to be in the past.

"Well you remember us being on the same team for a while; Manchester United, well let's just say we were best friends until he ruined it" he couldn't believe that Cris allowed years of friendship to go to waste.

"What happened Geri that was so bad that you can't let it go for one night" this very well change her perspective of Cris.

"You know how I was when I was younger, it wasn't very easy to hide even if I wanted to with the media. I had a new girl every week like every other footballer whose young and thinks he has it all set out for him and well there was this girl that I really liked and I thought she could be the one, obviously that was a lie cause Shak existed. Turns out I fell stupidly and fast since not even two months into talking and I invited her over to a game and found her and Cris in a closet by the end of it. At first I thought I was seeing things because how could my best friend do this to me after I explained my feeling about her to him. Turns out this whole thing was a dare by the rest of the guys because they had a game of who could sleep with the most girls in a season and well let's just say there was a bonuses especially for taking someones girl" it was one of the most humiliating things for him to reminisce of his past.

"So all of you guys were participants in this game no matter the girls you would leave heartbroken. Doesn't seem to any in the situation really" her inner feminist could not just let that part slide.

"That's not the point after I realized how bad things were I stopped playing that stupid game but Cris didn't, even after I begged him to because if that list ever came out then there goes our public image and maybe even our jobs. Even then he would still bring different girls to the hotel even when strictly forbidden. So forgive me if I'm a little worried he brought that idea to Madrid and your one of the girls written down considering your his rivals sister" maybe it was a twinge of pride that wouldn't allow him to forgive Cristiano but still he never apologized to this day about the whole situation.

"So what I'm getting is that you guys were both stupid, young boys with no sense and your hate for him is personal and more of a what if for me?" everything was a little hard to put together.

"Yes and no...all I want is to make sure what happened in Manchester stayed there especially our friendship and that stupid game" they were long past making up but maybe it was for the best.

"So what if I propose a deal? If that stupid game is continuous at Madrid then you get to deal with him along with the boys but if it's not you at least tolerate him for the rest of our relationship. You don't have to publicly display it but just be civil and you don't even have to talk with him just a head nod here and there" if that game was what brought Cris to her then it would not just be Geri dealing with Cris but herself.

"Fine for you, but no—and I'm serious with thiss—NO kisssing around me" to ask him to see that would be like public torture.

"Thank you Geri" she gave him a big hug now that the stress was of her shoulders.

"And I'm sorry for what I said at your house and at the game I was being stupid. Forgive me?" how harsh he was with her made him wince just thinking about it.

"Always" pulling away she smacked his cheek a couple times out of endearment.

"Also I'm helping you plan your birthday not them, it's tradition you can't just break it for that ken doll in there" she did say he had to be civil around him not her.

"Geri" she scolded.

"Fine but I'm being for real we plan this together with Ney and Dani" if anybody knew how to throw a party it was them four.

"Fine but no fighting if Cris helps with some stuff or even Marcelo or Sergio" she didn't know if they would actually help but just in case.

"Marcelo I get and Cris, but Sergio, why him"

"He's actually really nice if you give him a chance" her time that she spent getting to know him was pleasant as him and Geri actually had quite the similar personalities.

"No now your pushing it" Cristiano was one thing but Sergio was another whole situation entirely that was built of years of hatred that expanded from club teams.

"I'll just make sure you two aren't left in the same room"
