Donna awoke to the Spanish sun streaming through the window, squinting she could feel the pain in her eye as she remembered last night.
Looking down she could see Cristiano's arm still firmly around her, smiling she turned around to see the footballer was still asleep.
She watched him for a few moments, he looked so peaceful. Last night he had been her hero, a knight in shining armour. He truly hadn't left her side. The PA had never experienced that sort of protection before and she had to admit it felt good.
Cristiano began to stir slowly opening his eyes to smile at the brunette. Donna leaned up on her elbow "so you finally decided to wake up" she joked
"It's your fault for making me so comfortable" he replied pulling her body closer to his.
Donna lay her head on the footballers shoulder as he stroked her arm. "You know I have a match today" he stated
"Oh" she replied feeling disheartened, she didn't want to leave the safe haven Cristiano had made for her just yet.
"I don't want to let you out of my sight today so I want you to come watch me play" he asked
Donna smiled, she had been working for the portugese for 2 months now and still hadn't been to a match.
"I'd love that" she said running her fingers across his chest.
Just then Cristiano's phone rang, leaning over to pick it up he answered
"Hi Ma"
"Ok we'll be there in two minutes"
Putting the phone down he turned to the brunette "Mum wants to see us at the house, she says it's important"
Donna looked at the footballer confused. What could be so important she wondered.
"One last cuddle before we go" he said pulling the PA back onto the bed.
A few minutes later Donna sat up getting out of the bed as Cris groaned holding onto her arm.
"We have to go, Dolores will be waiting" she laughed.
She began to look for clothes to pull on as Cristiano lay back on the bed hands behind his head watching her.
Donna laughed as she pulled off his T shirt she had been wearing and threw it at him "get up mister" she said
Cristiano swiped the tshirt from his face "you should wear my clothes all the time, it's so sexy" he teased
Donna looked in the mirror brushing her hair, she gasped as she caught sight of her eye, it was completely black and swollen, at least the red mark had gone from her cheek she thought. Touching it she remarked "yea I'm really sexy right now, I look like captain hook"
Cristiano came up behind her turning her to him he kissed her eye, "you will always be beautiful" he whispered
The brunette looked at him, she was so thankful for the footballer today even though she wasn't sure what they were at the moment. She didn't care she was just happy to have him as a friend right now, with him she felt safe for the first time in her life.
..................
The couple walked into the kitchen of the main house, Cristiano held onto Donna's hand, he hadn't let it go since they had left the guest house.
Dolores was making breakfast as she ushered for them to sit at the table. A few seconds later she joined them sliding plates of food in front of them.
"So mum, im sure you didn't get us over here to eat bacon.....what's so important" asked Cris
The woman took a deep breath "please try to stay calm.......but you need to see this" she replied handing them a newspaper
