Take Good Care Of My Baby-Sequel to You,Me and Baby

Chapter 77- I Doubt She'll Notice

  "I can't believe you are dragging me out after I flew across the world to see you" Irina wined as she followed Cristiano down the footpath. They had eventually gotten out of the house after Irina decided she needed to change once more into basically the same dress. "It's just some stupid teammates thing" she wined. "It's not just some stupid..." he paused and turned to face her.

"Look we will go and have some fun. You can see everyone again and I can show off my amazing hot girlfriend" he said smiling at her. "Fine" she pouted. "Thank you" he said placing a quick kiss on her lips. "Now let's keep walking" he said. "These shoes were not made for walking" she huffed walking storming ahead of him. "Why the hell did you buy them then" he mutter to himself as he started to walk after her.

He look at his watch. He knew he was late. Everything had been planned to the exact time. Ana had told everyone the time so many times. Cristiano could hear music and laughter as he opened Sergio's front door. He walked towards the living room where he found the room filled with people and covered in balloons with a huge happy birthday banner above the fireplace. "Hey man you're finally here" Marcelo said walking towards him.

"Hey man" Cristiano said looking around the room. "Lovely to see you Irina" Marcelo said hugging the model. "Now I get why this guy was late" Marcelo said. "Cris you're here" Pepe said coming towards them. "Of course he's here. Everyone is here. Irina you came just in time to party" Marcel said waving his hands in the air. "Looks like a full house" Irina said. "Ya the whole team is here. No one was missing it. Ana said you weren't coming" Pepe said to Cristiano. Hoped more like Cristiano thought.

"But now I can see why you were delayed. Welcome back to Madrid Irina" Pepe said. "Man you should have seen her face" Marcelo said to Cristiano. "Who?" Irina asked. "Molly. I've never seen her so surprised and speechless. But she found her voice again like in two seconds of course cos it's Mols. Who fancy's a drink? Irina let me get you a drink" Marcelo said. "Ya you go get something to eat. You must be hungry" Cristiano said placing a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek. "Oh there's plenty of food. Can't celebrate Molly's day of birth without plenty of food" Marcelo joked. "Molly's birthday" Irina said looking at her boyfriend. "Come on" Marcelo said taking Irina's hand and walking her towards the drinks.

"So Molly wasn't the only one to get a surprise tonight" Pepe said. "No" Cristiano mumbled looking at all the smiling faces around the room. "At least you got here" Pepe said. "Neither did Molly" Cristiano said as his eyes wandered around the room. "What do you mean?" Pepe asked. "She was going to stay in, but wanted to give Irina and I some alone time" he sighed. "Of course she did cos she's Molly and thoughtful and I must tell Ana she owes Irina a drink cos my woman would have been pissed if Molly didn't come tonight" Pepe said. She's probably pissed that I'm here Cristiano thought to himself.

"Take a look at this" Pepe said holding his phone towards his friend. "What is it?" Cristiano asked. "You get to see her reaction" Pepe said as he hit play and Cristiano smiled as he watched Molly walk through the doors and react to everyone shouting out at her. She looked so happy and that dress he thought. She had worn that under her coat.

"I'll send it to you. So you have proof she can actually be left speechless at times" Pepe said taking his phone back. He was annoyed when he heard that Cristiano wasn't coming. Ana had told him that he wasn't coming and Pepe couldn't understand what could stop Cristiano from coming to the party. He had nearly gone over to Cristiano to drag him to the house only Ana stopped him. He was glad he had taped Molly's reaction.

"She's here somewhere" Pepe said. "Who?" Cristiano asked. "The person you have been looking for since you came through the door. The birthday girl" Pepe said. "I was looking for Maé" Cristiano lied. "In the kitchen with Katia" Pepe said. "I better go say hi" Cristiano said. "And in case you are wondering, Molly is over by the window. Sergio is teaching her to salsa" Pepe laughed and Cristiano's eyes finally caught sight of her and he took a deep long breath. The short sparkling dress hugged her in all the right places as she moved her hips to the beat of the music. Sergio's hand rested on her lower back. The open back. Touching her skin.

"Ah look who finally showed up" Zé said slapping Cristiano on the back. "Your mother was looking for you" Zé said. "I was just on my way over to see her" Cristiano said as he stopped glaring at Sergio. "You finally made it" Dolores said. "Sorry I got delayed" he replied. "What on earth could delay you on a night like this?" Dolores snapped. "This is where everyone is hiding" Irina said appearing at her boyfriend's side.
