You Belong with Me

Part One - Chapter Seven: Getting in Deeper

Alexa wasn’t sure how it happened but here she was beneath Cristiano as his hands moulded to her hips, their lips fused together as they kissed.

Cristiano’s hands slipped under her T-shirt as he pulled her closer to him, Alexa breathlessly pulled away from Cristiano who kissed down her neck nibbling as he went.

Cristiano had brought her to his home in Cheshire away from the press and they had sat in his living room talking about everything that was until he had kissed her.

Cristiano pulled her closer, he couldn’t get enough of her but he knew that he wouldn’t go too far with this; he wanted to take things slow with Alexa.

Cristiano moved his lips back to Alexa’s as she held him close, Cristiano slowly pulled away from Alexa, pulling his lips from hers as he tried to catch his breath.

“We should slow down,” Cristiano breathed as he pulled Alexa closer, she nodded her head; she wasn’t in a rush to get to that part of their relationship and she wouldn’t be forced to do anything that she wasn’t ready for.

Cristiano kissed her softly, Alexa felt her heart flutter; she was impressed that he wasn’t pushing her for more and it made her heart melt.

Cristiano sighed as he pulled away from her; he didn’t know when his brother and brother-in-law would be home and he hoped it wasn’t until later so that he could spend more alone time with Alexa.

Cristiano rested his head against her shoulder as they caught their breath, they sat there quietly listening to each other’s breathing. Alexa looked at Cristiano and pressed her lips to his; he wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest.

However the two jumped apart as her mobile started to ring, Cristiano released her so she could answer it; he watched her for a moment, he could slowly feel himself falling in love with the woman before him.

“Are you sure… okay thanks,” Alexa said as she closed her eyes, she chewed on her lip wondering how she was going to get out of this mess; she had no idea how to deal with paparazzi or nosey journalists.

“The press are outside my grandparents’ house,” Alexa said as she turned to look at Cristiano, they had acted faster than either of them had thought and it was clear one of the neighbours had ratted her out.

Cristiano held back a curse, he knew he should have been more careful but he hadn’t been able to help himself; he wanted Alexa and he had acted the only way that he knew how to.

“My sister’s going to kill me,” Alexa said softly, Cristiano looked at her confused for a second; Alexa looked at him before she realised she had said it out loud.

Cristiano sighed as he moved closer to her, he knew what it was like to have jealous siblings and if Jennifer was anything like his sister; Alexa would have problems.

“We’ll work this out,” Cristiano promised her as he tried to think of what they could do; she had three weeks and then it was her sister’s wedding.

Arriving back at the house, Alexa held back her groan as she looked at the amount of press that surround the house. Cristiano sighed as he took off his seatbelt, he pulled off his jacket and handed it to her; Alexa took it gratefully and waited until Cristiano got out of the car.

Alexa pulled his jacket over her head after she had undone her seatbelt; as Cristiano opened the door for her, he helped her out then he held her close as they headed for the front door with a bit of a struggle.

Elizabeth quickly let the couple inside, once the door was closed Alexa handed Cristiano his jacket back; the tension in the air was all too clear.
