PartTwo: Chapter Twelve- Recovering

June's POV

I wake up and smile. It's been three weeks since I've been in Madrid, and I'm feeling better. I'm glad to be here with Javi and my family. They aren't coddling me, and I'm able to do what I need to heal. I'm excited because a photoshoot I did a couple weeks ago is supposed to come out today. Javi went with me to the shoot. I was so glad to have him there.

"When are your pictures coming out?" Javi knocks on my open door.

"Probably while we're out at dinner with the team," I laugh making him roll his eyes.

"June! LUCAS IS HERE!" Ma yells up the stairs.

"Coming!" I grin running down the stairs to meet my friend.

"Hola, hermosa," Lucas smiles walking over and kissing me on the cheek.

"Hola!" I grin giving him a hug and a kiss.

"Ready to go?"

"Yup!"

"See you both there," Javi smiles.

"Adios!" I wave and follow Lucas.

Lucas has become a good friend of mine during my time in Madrid. He's close to my age. I grin army new friend as he opens the car door for me. I smile and hop in his Audi. He walks around to the driver's side and gets in.

"Ready?"

"Sí," I nod with a smile.

I'm looking forward to tonight. It's a charity banquet for less fortunate kids in Romania and Russian orphanages. Lucas and I talk easily while we drive to the place it's being held. The Madrid players have been welcoming. I think they take it easy on me because I'm such good friends with Marcelo. If we're being honest, Javi is a bit of an outcast here.

"So when does the photo shoot come out?" Lucas asks as he switches lanes.

"Tonight," I respond anxious for the pictures to be released.

"You must be excited!"

"Yeah for sure. When does Maca get back in town?"

"Two weeks," he replies.

I grin and nod. Maca and I have gotten to be really good friends. Lucas asked me to be his date while she's in Rome. I agreed happily. I'm glad to be getting out and working hard. It's good for me not to just sit around the house feeling sad. I need to push through and work hard. Coming to Madrid to be with my parents and siblings was one of the best things I could've done to help move on.

"Are you coming to our game Sunday?"

"You bet," I nod.

"Carlo likes you so I'm sure you'll be allowed to warm up with us," he smiles.

"I'd like that," I grin.

When we arrive at the venue, Lucas pulls his car towards the valet. Lucas helps me out of the car, and I grin. He wraps an arm around me, and his hand rest comfortably on my hip. I smile up at him as we walk across the red carpet together. We stop and take pictures for the club. Paparazzi are obviously there as well.

"Oi linda!" I hear a deep accented voice. I turn around and smile at Cristiano who's walking towards me.

"Cris," I grin and move to hug him.

He gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Despite club feuds, he's a good friend. He's really funny, and I love playing with Junior. He reminds me of Davi Lucca. I grin and pick the little boy up to give him a hug.
