"This isn't mine and Landon's room" replied a shocked and very confused Carlos.
"I would guess not seeing as I have the keys and my luggage is inside" it's not that she wasn't happy to see the man, it just surprised her.
"Guess I pushed the wrong number to my floor" stretching his neck he realized instead of pressing the number 3 he pressed the number 4.
"This is such a funny coincidence. What are you doing in France" last time she checked the motor racer barley had anytime free time to himself much less to drop by in France.
"Well we have a week off so Lando and I entered this golf tournament here" mind you Lando was actually a terrible golfer but Carlos didn't have the heart to tell him that.
"Golfing on the free time I shouldn't expect anything else from you and Lando, but I do have to say that I am a little hurt not getting any invite" she faked a pout on her face mocking sadness.
"Well how can I invite you when your too busy bringing home the World Cup" he wasn't ignorant to her schedule and so far had followed along to her journey leading up to this moment.
"Well some of us have to work" she passed a joke at his vacation but honestly could use a major one herself after the tournament no matter the results.
"Haha very funny" the monotone laugh actually released a real laugh from her.
"Well as much fun as this has been I am going to get some food in me and maybe explore the city of love a little bit more" she wished at this moment she had her love with her but he was stuck in Spain.
"Would you mind if I joined you. I haven't had any breakfast yet, was waiting on Lando but he is still sleeping" at least he hoped the young man was still sleeping in their correct room.
"Sure I would love some company" god she hoped this didn't get blown out of proportion if people saw them.
"So shall we stay loyal to the local cuisine or head for something a bit spicier" there were a limited selection in France of different cultures food but some were pretty decent.
"I could really go for like a crepe or something sweet" it's not often when he's allowed to indulge in these sugary foods due to his diet but when he can, he does.
"With Nutella" okay now she wanted one also having been awhile since she had regular Nutella not the healthy version.
"Yes" Carlos had already made up in his mind he would allow himself two before cutting himself off and would bring his sleeping friend some back as well.
"Alright but you can't tell my coach. Promise?"she showed him her pinky finger making him swear on it, not needing to run some extra laps for not staying true to her diet.
"I don't know what if you don't advance because of this" he teased.
"I'm going to advance because of this. It'll give me the boost of serotonin I need for tonight's practice" switching up their schedule they would have a afternoon and night practice instead of morning to afternoon.
"Alright then let's not keep you hungry" locking her door they made their way towards the little cafe down the street that Lina saw.
"So how are you feeling" he asked her on their short walk wanting to make conversation.
"Confident but scared" the two feeling were practically invading her everyday thoughts.
"Why you guys go this" the Spaniard could of easily said this about his country but their was something about the way Catalina carried herself that made her seemed almost...certain she would win.
"It's just that usually by now I would've been injured like the previous World Cups or something happens that allows me not to play. So it sort of messes with my mind, not to mention my family is waiting for this win and oh yeah my boyfriend apparently doesn't know how to text back" her rant came out spewed not having the ability to stop the words from coming out.
"Well slow down and breath okay" making her face him Carlos did a breathing technique he used to calm himself before the big race.
"Okay" her heart rate was back to normal so she urged him to continue his talk.
"You will be amazing—you are amazing okay. The Catalina Messi slash future Mrs.Ronaldo is not one to give up easily. This is your year, you got it and trust me when I say your family will be proud of you no matter what happens. I see the way you and your brother act, you guys would die for each other it's the same way Cristiano looks at you. Granted his is in a non incest way but still there is a different type of love in his eyes. Trust me when I say that boy is crazy for you and like most boys he's probably just being an idiot right now" it hurt Carlos a little to say those words about Cristiano seeing as he started to develop a small place in his heart for the girl that would be considered more than friendly, but who was he in the way to stand in the way of true love. It was
It was obvious by the way Cristiano stared at her at the Brazil circuit. HE WAS IN LOVE WITH HER. Now Carlos just prayed the man doesn't screw up especially during one of the most important moments of her career.
"Thank you Carlos, truly your an amazing friend" pulling him into a much needed hug she watched as they finally made there way to their breakfast spot where they enjoyed their morning together before heading back to the hotel and to their separate ways.

On the other side of France if you could even call it that Cristiano was getting ready to board his jet. Why you may ask, well none other then to surprise the love of his life with an early visit. Junior would also be accompanying him but was currently knocked out on one of the seats. It was a spontaneous move but the man thought what place was better to support his women then at her top moment in the sport she loved. He was suppose to go later on as she didn't want anyone attending early games in case they failed to go through, but Cris knew Itzel. Her mind would dive her crazy before the game and she needed someone there to calm her down and just be her rock during these crazy times.
CRISTIANO WAS DETERMINED TO BE THAT ROCK.
He even got a suite in her hotel through the courtesy of Leo of all the people. It took some embarrassing begging moment from the striker to his maybe brother in law. Leo at first was hesitating to hand this information out and even almost hung up after first hearing his voice but heard him out. Cristiano explained something's to him from the club to his ignorance towards his sister and decided that whatever he was going to do now would define their relationship forever. It was a make or break moment, one that Leo didn't know how was going to go over but just hoped for his sisters happiness in it all.
At one point Leo had to realize his sister was no longer that poor little girl from Argentina but was instead this successful business women that didn't need more sheltering from the world. Protecting her was a discussion for another time but Leo would forever be there for his sister. He just decided that in order to see her grown and be happy that sometime he couldn't interfere with her life and it's course would run naturally. With all its moments of happiness, sadness, it's ups and downs he would just have to settle with being by her side through it all. Even if it meant watching her with her rival.
A/N: yes he refuses to call Cristiano his brother in law...for now.
So at her next game for the World Cup when she takes on the United States national team Cristiano would be there along with her family that he was flying out, which also included much to his annoyance Pluto and Cosmo. His private jet and Leo's would just be filled with her love and support.
