  "Hey man" Pepe greeted Cristiano as he caught up to Cristiano as he walked towards the training ground entrance. "Hey" Cristiano mumbled his eyes on his phone. "Man you look like crap" Pepe said. "Thanks" Cristiano muttered. "Irina keeping you up" Pepe smirked. "No" Cristiano said.



"What's up?" Pepe asked concerned. He didn't like seeing his friend like this. "Everything "Is this about Molly?" Pepe asked. "What about Molly?" Sergio asked appearing at the side of the Portuguese defender. Cristiano groaned. He didn't need Ramos annoying him about Molly. Especially when the woman in question hated his guts. "Nothing" Pepe said. "She's not annoyed with me. Is she? "Sergio asked.


"Wait why would she be annoyed with you?" Cristiano asked shushing Pepe before he spoke. "I told her that I make better looking pancakes than she does" Sergio said. "Pancakes" Cristiano said. "She sent me a pic this morning of her breakfast. I made a joke that mine were better. But I thought she was fine with me in the rest of her texts" Sergio said. "It was Maé's pancakes not Molly's so you didn't insult her cooking" Cristiano said. "Oh good. Don't want her to be annoyed with me. Especially since she seems happy unlike the past few days" Sergio said walking through the glass doors.


"As long as she's not annoyed with the lovely Ramos" Cristiano mumbled. "What?" Cristiano asked when he saw Pepe looking at him. "What have you done to annoy Molly?" he asked. "Why do you think that?" Cristiano asked. "Cos you don't seem happy that she's not annoyed with Sergio. Plus you've been miserable the past few days and so has Molly. So talk" Pepe said. "I've being miserable?" Cristiano asked. "Yes. And I'm willing to bet it's something to do with why Molly is also miserable" Pepe said.


"She was already miserable before me" Cristiano sighed. "And now?" Pepe asked. "Now I feel like a cruel jerk and she hates me" Cristiano said. "Hate you? Come on Molly is used to you annoying her" Pepe said. "We had a fight" Cristiano said. "And? Ronnie you two have bickered since she's being here" Pepe said. "We weren't bickering. It was a full on fight. We ended up in the swimming pool" he said. "She pushed you into the pool?" Pepe asked.

"No Zé did cos we were creaming at each other. And I mean screaming. She lost it with me and I snapped" he said. "Ok if she was the miserable one what did you have to snap at her about?" Pepe asked confused. "I said things that I really shouldn't have said. And I mean cruel words. She hadn't spoken to me until this morning" he said. "And what did she say?" Pepe asked.


"Told me to stop apologising. I couldn't take it any longer and I knew that I needed to make things right. Ramos is right. You all are. She is miserable. And it's my fault" Cristiano said. "Are you two ladies coming or what?" Marcelo asked walking past the two men. "In a minute" Pepe said. "What did you say to her during your fight?" Pepe asked. "It doesn't matter" Cristiano muttered knowing that he couldn't explain everything about Molly's life and why she was really living at the house. "So how bad are things with her?" Pepe asked.


"She wasn't exactly Ms social with everyone this week. Though she did smile at me this morning" Cristiano said. "A smile instead of a scowl. Good start" Pepe said. "Oh and it's not just Molly who is annoyed with me" Cristiano said. "Your mother and sister too" Pepe said. "How did you guess?" Cristiano asked. "Cos they adore Molly. And I can think of a lot more people who would be annoyed with you for upsetting Molly if they found out" Pepe said. "Ya everyone likes her" Cristiano muttered. "I'm sure things will be alright" Pepe said as they two men walked down the corridor towards the dressing room.


"Oh I also told Irina to start acting like she's part of the family" Cristiano said. "Wait" Pepe said pulling at his friend's arm. "You did what?" Pepe asked in shock. "I told her to start being nice to my family and friends. To start being involved with me and Junior. And to stop using Molly as.. well just stop" Cristiano said looking at his friend who had a big grin on his face. "Would I be correct in guessing your fight with Molly started cos of Irina?" Pepe asked.
