Love Will Find A Way

Part One - Chapter Twenty-Six: The Trouble of Kissing

Nicole groaned as she woke up wondering what the hell was going on, her head hurt and she couldn’t really move; she carefully opened her blue eyes as they adjusted to the dim light of the basement where she was laying.

“Did you have a nice sleep?” Jesse asked making the brunette’s stomach lurch as her eyes snapped to look at her ex-boyfriend, he was the one person that she truly did not want to see right now as the events that led to this moment slowly came back to her.

Jesse moved towards Nicole who flinched away from him making him smile, he was thrilled that she was still scared of him since it meant that he had some sort of control over her.

“It want be long before your begging me to touch you… to hurt you,” Jesse said with a smirk as his eyes traced her body, he couldn’t wait to see what she looked like under her clothes; he ignored the glare that Nicole gave him as she felt her stomach roll.

Jesse chuckled and knelt down before her and reached out for the brunette making her sharply move away from him as far as she could go before her back hit the wall behind her; she stared at him in terror wondering what he was going to do to her.

“Nicole you have to behave, we don’t want any accidents again do we?” Jesse said making Nicole glare at him but she couldn’t help but remain silent; she would never forgive him for what he had done to her.

The brunette felt sick and she wasn’t worried about herself at the minute, she knew that Jesse had no idea that she was pregnant with Cristiano’s child and she worried what he might do if she didn’t stop him.

“Don’t worry we’ll start our new lives in America soon,” Jesse continued as sickening smile formed on his face as he thought about the future that he had planned for them; one that Cristiano had no feature in.

Jesse’s blue eyes quickly flickered down to Nicole’s lips making the brunette swallow as she realised what he was thinking of, she felt a little sick as she wondered what he really had planned for her.

“Jesse…” she whimpered her throat sour from lack of use, she didn’t know how long she had been here but she knew that it was longer than a couple of hours.

The American smirked before he smashed his lips into hers as he pinned her against the wall so she couldn’t pull away.

Nicole fought against him but she wasn’t strong enough to hold him off, she knew that she had to fight for not only her life but for that of her unborn child; she knew that there was no way that Jesse would want the child alive.

Cristiano sat in his house in Madrid as he thought about the match that was twenty-four hours away and for once he wasn’t looking forward to doing his job; he had to make a choice between the woman he loved and his team-mates.

It wasn’t hard for him to choose but it didn’t make the choice any easier; it was always going to be Nicole, and he knew that he would do anything to ensure that she came home safely.

A sudden knock on the door snapped the footballer out of his sullen thoughts making him sigh, as he made his way over to answer it; he didn’t know who could be calling at his home since he hadn’t told anyone what was going on.

Irina smiled at Cristiano as he opened the front door to her, she knew that he wouldn’t be expecting to see her since he had no idea that she was the one pulling the strings on what was happening right now.

The Russian pushed her way into Cristiano’s home before he could stop her, she knew that she had to remain in control if she wanted to get him back.

“Irina what are you doing here?” Cristiano asked surprised making the Russian smile at him as she sat down on his couch and looked around.

She frowned at how much the stylish house had changed since he had broken up with her, she knew it would be one of the first things that she would change.

“I was in the neighbourhood and thought I’d drop in,” Irina said sweetly making Cristiano nod suspiciously as he sat down opposite her, he knew that there was more to it than that and he had a feeling that this wasn’t a surprise drop-in.

Irina smirked knowing that he never did have the power to turn her away, she was the woman for him and he knew that she would be able to take his attention away from the Spaniard that he was dating.

“So where is Nicole? I hope she’s alright,” Irina asked making Cristiano stiffen at her words.

He knew that she had no real interest in his girlfriend and he glared at her as she moved closer to him and took his hand; a sudden feeling surged through the footballer as he looked at her.

“Is everything alright Cris? You can tell me anything,” Irina said sweetly as she leant forward slightly so he could see down her dress, she knew that she had to drew him in before she went in for the kill.

The brunette was going to show him that he had made a big mistake by ending things with her.

Irina grinned to herself as she started to see the indecision in Cristiano’s eyes; she quickly ran a hand through his hair and smiled softly for him as she slowly moved closer.

“I’m always here for you,” she purred starting to trail a hand up his leg making him look down at her unsure if he should stop her or not; Irina knew at that moment she had him, she watched as he swallowed heavily at what his ex-girlfriend was doing.

“Let me help you Cristiano,” she purred again slowly moving onto his lap, Cristiano looked at her puzzled until Irina capture his lips with hers; he knew that he had to play this right if he wanted to find out what was really going on.

Nicole pushed Jesse away from her, tears rolling down her face wishing Cristiano was here to protect her from him; she felt sick at letting Jesse touch her in anyway and she knew that she needed to get away from him.

Jesse looked at her furiously before he pulled back his hand and slapped Nicole, making her gasp with shock as he forced her tightly against the wall.

“Por favor Jesse… don’t do this, I can explain but por favor,” she begged him desperately making Jesse raise an eyebrow at her; he quite liked her begged him, it was like music to his ears and he looked forward to hearing it more from her.

The American slowly backed away making Nicole nervous as she watched him, she knew that she was in a catch twenty-two right now and if she didn’t do something then he was going to hurt her and her baby.

“Well go on then,” he snapped not enjoying that she had ended his fun so soon, Nicole tried to swallow the lump in her throat it was her only chance. 

She knew that he was very likely to lash out when he found out that she was carrying another man’s child but he was also likely to hurt her if she didn’t tell him.

Nicole looked at her ex-boyfriend and sighed, she nibbled her lip as she thought about what he was going to do to her now.

“I’m pregnant,” the brunette whispered then she quickly flinched back as Jesse cursed loudly making her jump in surprise; he glared at her for a moment before a sicking smile formed on his face as he looked down at her still flat stomach.

Nicole stared at him with fear in her eyes, she could tell that this wasn’t going to end well and she hoped that she was strong enough to stop him.
