You Belong with Me

Part Two - Chapter Nineteen: Guilty Conscience

Cristiano watched Alexa as she slept, last night was the first time in nearly two months that the couple had been intimate; the footballer had been gentle with her, not wanting to harm her in anyway as he made love to her.

Cristiano sipped on his coffee as leant against the bedroom door, a small smile on his face while he watched her contently; he loved his fiancée and would do anything for her.

“Cris,” Jorge called softly stepping into the hotel room; he rolled his eyes at the footballer who was only wearing his boxers, Cristiano glanced back at him and nodded.

“The next part of the shot isn’t until tomorrow… but I have some interviews for you,” Jorge told Cristiano while he continued to drink his morning coffee; his gave fixed firmly back on Alexa who had no idea that he was awake.

Jorge sighed as he approached his close friend, he knew what Cristiano was getting annoyed that the people who had harmed his fiancée had yet to be caught; they could only hope that the two men were caught soon.

“It’ll be okay Cristiano,” Jorge said patting the younger man’s shoulder, Cristiano glanced at him but stayed focused on his fiancée; he would always put Alexa above everything especially when she needed him right now.

“They will find whoever did this Cristiano,” Jorge said making Cristiano stare at him; he nodded sadly as he finished his drink, the footballer set down his cup and moved back into the bedroom to join Alexa.

Jorge sighed shaking his head, no one knew if they would ever find the two men; it had been weeks now and it was becoming more and more unlikely that the two men were still in the country.

Cristiano might never get the chance to see the two men punished for what they had done to Alexa; it was something he was going to have to deal with.

Alexa rolled her eyes watching her fiancé being pulled into yet another interview; she hadn’t been able to speak to him since they had arrived at the studio.

Alexa was wearing a cream printed tunic and black zip detail leggings paired with tan chain detail ballet pumps, she was starting to slowly feel like her old self again and she was happy that she didn't want to wear baggy clothes much anymore that covered her frame.

Jorge had been the one keeping an eye on her while Cristiano worked, he sighed as he sat next to Alexa who offered him a small smile; he couldn’t wait for all of this to be over so he didn’t need to babysit a grown woman anymore.

“Should be the last one,” Jorge noted making Alexa nod as she looked back over at Cristiano, she knew how much it was bothering him that they kept trying to talk about her assault but he refused to comment; not until the people responsible had been caught.

“I’m just popping the loo,” Alexa said after a moment of watching Cristiano, Jorge nodded as his phone rang distracting him from Alexa.

Jorge moved to answer it knowing that Alexa would be fine on her own, it wasn’t as if she could run into some sort of trouble by going to the ladies room.

Alexa quickly made her way to the bathroom, she hated being on her own when she knew that Cristiano or someone that he trusted to protect her couldn't be with her; however she needed to stop being so frightened.

Alexa truly doubted that anything would happen, she was just a little nervous about being allow; it was something that she was working on with her therapist.

Just as Alexa went to enter the bathroom, someone grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth as she went to scream; she struggled against the person as they dragged her towards the nearest fire escape.
