The Player Swap Up

Chapter 3

Cristiano POV

When I arrived back at my house my mother was asleep in her room and so was my son, Cristiano Junior. I sighed as I walked up the steps, I went into his room to see him soundly sleeping. He was only two, I walked inside and covered him up with his blanket and kissed his head.

He was my entire world. There is nothing I wouldn't do for him.

I walked into my room and began preparing for bed. I slid on a black t-shirt and a pair of white shorts. I sat back and pulled out my phone.

Three missed calls : Irina
Ten new messages : Irina

For God's sake. She knew I had a team dinner tonight. She knew I wasn't going to be able to answer.

I growled in frustration. She's driving me insane. I can't deal with her pissy attitude tonight. She is always so moody and rude when she comes to Madrid.

It's always why didn't you call? Let's go out someplace nice. Cristiano c'mon we never go on vacation together.

Don't get me wrong, I love her. I did.

Shit. I did?

Maybe I did used to love her. Maybe I don't anymore.

I shook my head and dialed her number.

"Thanks for calling me back. Finally." She muttered

"Irina I told you I was going to a team dinner. I never usually answer unless it's an emergency." I sighed

"And how do you know I wasn't calling for an emergency?"

"Because if you were you would have called more than three times." I said getting annoyed

"Well Cristiano what if it was and an axe murder was in my house and I tried calling more times but he got to me first."
Yeah right.

"Irina! That didn't happen! And it wasn't an emergency! Please stop. I'm calling now."

"Attitude Cristiano."

Attitude Cristiano. That's what she always says when I correct her or tell her to calm down.

"Okay Irina. Whatever you say."

"Don't just dismiss me like that Cristiano! You've been so distant lately. I have tried to talk to you and you always dismiss me. I know that Alex Morgan is there for that stupid player swap up-"

"Its not stupid Irina. It's a charity event. It's a great cause."

"Yes yes yes. Great cause. Anyway. I decided to fly into Madrid next week. Keep an eye on you."

Seriously. It's like she doesn't trust me

"Really Irina? You don't even trust me anymore?"

"It's not you I don't trust baby. It's her."

"Who?"

What the hell is she getting at.

"Well clearly the girl that has stepped into my territory."

What?

"Little more specific please."

"Alex? Alex Morgan."

I waited for her to laugh. This has to be a joke. I've met the girl once!! I'm not a dirtbag who cheats. Dammit I'm getting sick of this.

"Irina. I've met her once. We are playing together. For charity. Why can't you just trust me."
