You Belong with Me

Part One - Chapter Five: The Date with Cristiano

Licking his lips nervously, Cristiano rang the doorbell of Alexa’s grandparent’s house; he didn’t know what it was but there was something about the blonde that attracted him.

Cristiano hadn’t been able to get her off of his mind, she wasn’t like any of the women he had ever met or dated in the past; they had all been models or actresses and none of them had affected him like Alexa had.

Cristiano brushed his hands along his suit as he waited for someone to answer the door, the footballer still couldn’t believe she had said yes after he had asked Hugo to ask her to dinner for him after he had seen her at the match.

Cristiano wasn’t prepared however for the sight of Alexa as she opened the door in her red V-neck sheath short-length appliques cocktail dress paired with black heeled sandals, he felt breathless just looking at her.

“You look absolutely beautiful,” Cristiano said as he took a deep breath making her blush, he hadn’t expected her to look like she did; Cristiano had to remind himself to breath as he pressed a small kiss to her hand.

Elizabeth chuckled making Cristiano look at her as Alexa glanced back at grandmother, she could see that the footballer was head over heels for the blonde.

“I won’t keep her out too late,” Cristiano said making Elizabeth laugh and shake her head amused.

She was happy that the young man at least had some old fashioned curtsey and respect, but Elizabeth didn’t delude herself with thinking that Alexa wasn’t old enough to look after herself, she would be twenty in a couple of months.

“You can keep her for as long as you like,” Elizabeth said, making Cristiano smirk while Alexa blushed; Joseph shouted out in disagreement as the couple started to walk to Cristiano’s car.

Elizabeth smiled as she watched the couple leave, she hoped that this would be a good thing for Alexa and her mother wouldn’t ruin it for her.

Alexa rolled her eyes as she heard David and Ryan bickering with their father as she closed the door; she could only hope that Cristiano would make Alexa happy.

Cristiano opened the passenger door to his Audi R8 for Alexa, allowing his eyes to follow her curves as she got in; managing to keep her legs closed as she did so.

Closing the door behind her, he wondered if he was doing the right thing; his team-mates were out celebrating their win and keeping the media’s attention away from their star striker.

Cristiano knew he couldn’t hide Alexa forever; he just wanted tonight to be perfect without having to worry about pictures of them appearing all over the papers the following morning.

As Cristiano climbed inside, he offered Alexa a smile before he put on his seatbelt; she bite her lip before she spoke.

“So a Porsche and an Audi… any other cars I should know about?” Alexa asked trying to easy the silence that filled the car. Cristiano chuckled amused as they drove down the street; she wasn’t too sure what to expect with the footballer, he wasn’t like her last boyfriend.

Alexa looked at Cristiano confused as they pulled up outside of the Old Trafford Stadium; they were parked in the players’ area away from prying eyes.Cristiano chuckled at her expression as he helped her out of the car.

“Okay I knew you loved football but neither of us are dressed to play a game,” Alexa said making him laugh as they walked inside Cristiano took her hand and headed into the building then for the elevator that was waiting for them.

Cristiano wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close as the door closed, the blonde raised an eyebrow at him as the elevator came to a stop and they stepped out.
