Too Lost in You

Chapter Twenty-Two: Cristiano's Birthday

Running a hand through her hair, Liliana grinned as she slipped quietly out of bed and glanced at her fiancé; it was a tradition that they had for their birthdays.

The brunette was now thirty weeks pregnant and the couple had finished the nursery as well as a couple of classes that Cátia had signed them up for so that they could prepare for parenthood.

Liliana was wearing one of Cristiano’s shirts as she slipped on her black dunescape robe, she looked at Cristiano who hadn’t woken yet; but the brunette knew that he would remain that way for long.

Heading downstairs and into the kitchen, Liliana quickly collected the ingredients that she had bought the day before and had hidden so that Cristiano wouldn’t be able to find them.

As Liliana predicted just as she was finishing her fiancé’s birthday breakfast, she felt him wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her neck.

“Bom Dia,” Cristiano murmured against the tanned skin of Liliana’s neck, the brunette smiled as she turned to face him; she this was the first birthday in years that they had been able to spend as a proper couple.

“Buenos días y Feliz Cumpleaños,” Liliana said making Cristiano chuckle as he kissed her lips, he was glad that he didn't have a match that night and that he played tomorrow against Real Sociedad.

“Birthday pancakes?” he asked making Liliana nod as he grinned at her, the Portuguese pressed a kiss to her lips before moving to set the table; he loved Liliana’s blueberry pancakes and since they were part of his birthday deal, he couldn't wait for the rest of the day.

Liliana rolled her eyes as she listened to Cristiano talk to someone over the phone, she still didn't have any idea about their wedding and it was making her nervous that he was planning every detail.

The brunette leant against the door of the living room wearing her blue maternity jersey maxi dress in Grecian drape paired with gold studded evening sandals. The Portuguese flashed her, a smile as he ended the call.

“Who was that?” Liliana asked as she moved into the living room and sat next to him; they were meant to be getting ready for dinner with his family.

“Something for the wedding,” Cristiano said making Liliana look at him confused, he grinned as he pressed kiss her lips and collected the car keys to his Audi. L

iliana watched him as he collected his jacket; she had a feeling that he really was going to keep their wedding a secret until their wedding day.

“Come on… we can’t keep my Mãe waiting,” Cristiano said as he offered his hand to Liliana to help her to her feet; the brunette sighed as she took it, she hoped that he knew what he was doing.

The meal was a quiet affair between the family and Cristiano had been happy with that, he didn't need anything big as long as he had Liliana; the Portuguese stretched as he lay back in bed watching the highlights of that nights matches while Liliana was in the en-suite.

Cristiano tilted his head as he listened for any sound in the bathroom, he knew that Liliana was worried that he would mess up the wedding but he had ensure that he had as much help as possible from his friends and family.

“Lil,” he called softly wondering what she was doing in there, she had been in there for a while and he was starting to think that she might have fallen asleep during her bath.

“I’ll be right out,” Liliana replied from behind the closed and locked bathroom door making Cristiano furrow his brow as he looked at it confused before he heard movement making him sigh in relief.

His fiancée appeared moment later wearing her black dunescape robe, she grinned at him as she popped her dress from that evening into the washing basket and came to bed. Cristiano watched her curiously as she moved to her side of the bed and sorted a few things.

“So did you have a good birthday?” Liliana asked making Cristiano look at her; he wondered what she was up to.

“I had a lovely birthday, Obrigado,” Cristiano said as the brunette untied her black robe revealing her red Cami top and shorts; the Portuguese swallowed hard as he realised what his fiancée had planned.

“You like?” Liliana said as she allowed the robe to slip off her shoulders and pool at her feet, Cristiano nodded as he moved to the edge of their bed. His light brown eyes darkened as they traced her figure.

“Meu amor,” he murmured as he reached out to touch her; Liliana grinned as she allowed him to touch her, she had bought this outfit was especially for tonight.

Cristiano’s hand rested on her swollen stomach as he looked up into her brown eyes, he didn't know what he would ever do without her.

“I thought that since it’s your birthday...” Liliana started to say but she didn't get a chance to finish as Cristiano’s mouth claimed hers; he wrapped his arms around her as he pulled her onto his lap.
