Knocked Up

Chapter Twenty-One: The Date Night

The next night Rachel was busy getting ready for her date with Cristiano, the couple were heading to a pizzeria that was near home and since they were going on a date.

Cristiano had convinced Iker Casillas and his girlfriend, Sara Carbonero, to watch Junior while they were out.

Sara curled the strands of Rachel’s hair and was more than happy to talk with Rachel, who was nervous about meeting another WAG; she hadn't known what to expect from the other woman and she had been surprised about how normal she seemed.

Rachel was wearing a purple oversize top with dramatic kimono sleeve and black skinny guilty jeans paired with black platform court shoes; Sara had helped her pick out her outfit and was pleased with how the brunette looked.

“Don’t be nervous,” Sara said making Rachel glance at her in the mirror, since they were going out in public it was more than likely that the press would be hovering around wanting to catch a glimpse of Cristiano and Rachel.

“It won’t be so bad… it’s only cause you’re the shiny new thing,” she continued making Rachel chuckle at her metaphor; she had to admit that it did make a lot of sense.

“I mean with the natural make-up and the pregnancy glow… you look stunning,” Sara said causing Rachel to blush at her compliment, she wasn’t used to people complimenting her and was a little taken back that Sara had been so nice to her.

Waiting downstairs for their girlfriends, Cristiano and Iker were sat in the living room talking; Iker grinned at the nervous Portuguese, who kept glancing at the stairs as if waiting for something to happen.

“She’ll be fine,” Iker said trying to reassure him as he took a sip of his water and looked at him, Cristiano nodded and took a deep breath; the footballer wasn’t sure why he was so nervous.

“So when are you bringing her to meet the others?” Iker asked making Cristiano choke on his own drink; Iker chuckled at him and shook his head.

He knew that his friend was trying to hide Rachel away and he didn't blame him but that didn't mean that he would get away with it for long.

“Come on Cris; you can’t hide her from them forever,” Iker joked as he looked over at Cristiano; he had never seen the Portuguese like this before and he had to admit that it was refreshing to see.

“Maybe the match after Christmas when thing’s settle down a little,” Cristiano replied as they heard Sara and Rachel talking as they walked down the stairs talking with ease.

The Portuguese was pleased that Rachel had warmed to Sara so quickly since he knew that she would need someone to talk to.

“So Junior should stay asleep for the rest of the night,” Cristiano said as the two men stood and made their way towards the front door to wait for their girlfriends.

Iker rolled his eyes as he wrapped an arm around Sara who grinning at the smile on Cristiano’s face.

“Have fun,” she said before she ushered Rachel and Cristiano out of the house after the brunette got her camel military zip detail coat.  

Rachel shook her head as Cristiano moved towards her, and wrapped his arms around her; he pressed a soft kiss to her lips.

The pizzeria was quiet when Cristiano and Rachel arrived and they were glad that they had yet to run into any of the press, Cristiano kept his arm around Rachel until they were seated at their table.

Rachel rolled her eyes at the glare that Cristiano offered the waiter, who was serving them.

“Are you always this territorial?” She asked quietly, Cristiano chuckled taking her hand and pressing a kiss to it, Rachel’s blushed lightly as he moved to press a kiss to her neck then to below her ear.

“Only when it's you amor,” he replied softly making sure the waiter could see then as he pressed another kiss to her neck.

Rachel couldn’t help but smile at his words, for some reason she liked it when her boyfriend was possessive, it made it so much more fun to tease them.

Leaning forward she pressed her lips below Cristiano’s own neck before she gently licked her way up to his ear, shivering Cristiano glanced at his girlfriend as she pulled away slightly.

“You know I only see you,” she said as she sat back in her seat while Cristiano tried to compose himself; the brunette smirked lightly as the waiter came back and took their orders.

Cristiano looked at his innocent looking girlfriend and chuckled amused as he watched her, he could see something flickering through her brown eyes and he knew that this was going to become a game between them.

However before they could continue there was a squeal of excitement before Karla appeared wearing a very skimpy red dress; Cristiano bit on to his lip while Rachel rolled her eyes at the blonde wondering what she was doing here.

“It’s so good to see you both again,” Karla said as Cristiano rested his arm around the back of Rachel’s chair and stared at the blonde who was grinning at them; he knew that there was no way that this was an accident.

Karla had sat outside of Cristiano’s house all day and when she had seen Iker Casillas and his girlfriend, she knew something was going to happen; she couldn't believe how easy it had been following the couple on their date.

“What can we do for you Karla?” Rachel said as she raised an eyebrow at the blonde, Cristiano gently rubbed Rachel’s arm, as he watched Karla who started to babble about joining them for their date.

Rachel could feel Cristiano starting to tense next to her, she knew he didn’t like Karla and right now she didn’t blame him, Cristiano cursed making Rachel sigh and look at the amused blonde who seemed to know what trouble she was causing.

“Karla I thought that I had made things clear, I don’t want to speak to you; hell I don’t want to be near somebody like you,” Rachel said making the blonde look at her surprised and Cristiano tried to suppress his grin.

He was pleased that she was finally standing up to the blonde that was seemingly stalking her.

“You’re only here because I’m dating Cristiano and you want your five minutes of fame if it were any different and I had moved here anyway; you wouldn’t be here to see me,” Rachel snapped as she glared at her friend who didn't seem to be getting the message; it was slowly becoming annoyed and she wanted it to stop.

Karla looked at Rachel shocked never expecting her to turn on her, Rachel was too nice for that; she had always thought that the brunette would give in at some point. Cristiano squeezed Rachel’s shoulder before he signalled for the staff to remove Karla.

“It was nice to see you Mrs Williams but this is a private meal,” Cristiano said as two men grabbed Karla and started to drag her out of the restaurant since they had been watching her since she had entered.

“I’m your friend Rachel... you can’t let him do this to me... I can’t believe Amber was right about you... you’re such a selfish bitch!” Karla screamed as she was thrown out of the restaurant.

Rachel closed her eyes and sighed in relief lightly as Cristiano buried his head in her neck and kissed her soft tanned skin.

“Ignore her, she has no idea what she’s talking about,” Cristiano whispered making Rachel nod as she tried to ignore what Karla had said to her.
