The Player Swap Up

Chapter 24

Hi everyone.

_________________________________

Barbados is so beautiful. Crystal clear blue water and beautiful flowers around the beach. We are staying in two rented houses next to each other that are big enough for all of the team and their families.

Iker made the room chart to keep things organized. I haven't seen it so I don't know where I'm at.

A car drove me from the airport to the houses. I got my bags out and looked up at the houses, mansions, and just walked into the one on the left because I didn't know which one I was in.

I guess I picked the right one because Sergio yelled. "ROOMIE!" When I walked inside.

"Hey!" I said laughing.

"Let me show you your room. Here gimme those. I would've come out to get them." He chastised

"I'm a strong capable woman. I can carry my bags, but thank you."

He led me up the stairs where I saw multiple doors across from each other in a long hallway.

"So James, Iker, Gareth, Luka, Marcelo, Toni, Me, you and Cristiano are in this house. And too many people to name are in the other." Sergio explained

"Oh great. I'm stuck with the idiots." I joked

I heard a door open. "Is that the voice of Alex I hear?" A familiar voice said.

I looked behind me to see James peeking his head out of the door closest to me.

"Hey! It is!" He exclaimed then came out and wrapped me in a bear hug.

"Mkay, let me go now." I said pushing him off of me.

"How was going home? How's Benz?" James asked

"It was refreshing. And he's good, he is fitting in well." I told him "Where is Cristiano?"

"I think him and Junior went for a walk on the beach. I'll text him." Sergio said pulling out his phone. "Sent. Okay your room is this one." He said opening the door to the last door in the hallway.

"Perfect, right next to James." I rolled my eyes.

I walked into the room and saw a small twin bed in one area a step down from where there was a large king size bed. There were bags on each bed. One smaller than the other.

Wrong room?

"Are you sure this is my room?" I asked confused.

I certainly didn't want to be stealing someone's room.

Sergio looked at me confused. "Cristiano didn't tell you?"

I raised my brow. "Tell me what?"

I was getting worried. What hadn't he told me?

"That you two would be sharing a room... we were short one... and we figured you wouldn't mind, if this is a problem we can change it l. We just assumed since the magazines-"

"It's okay... warning would've been nice. But no its okay- wait what magazines?" I said my eyebrows pulling together.

"The multiple magazines that have you and Ronnie all over them?" James interjected from the door way.

"Oh." Was all I said.

Calm yourself Alex. You agreed to going public. This is public, magazines, interviews, pictures.

"Oh Cristiano answered. He said they were coming up now." Sergio read

I began to make my way downstairs to meet them. I've really missed seeing them everday.
