I Want You Back

Chapter 15: The more things change…

I pretended to be asleep as I heard Cristiano crawl back into bed at 3 o’clock in the morning.

I let out a deep sigh as thought how this had become a habit. As his hands snaked around my waist I held in the urge to throw up.

I waited for almost half an hour before climbing out of bed and retracing his footsteps.

I walked to the laundry where I found his clothes crumpled up on the floor. As I reached over to pick up the garments I couldn’t help but take in the smell of cheap perfume that radiated off the clothes.

He was back to doing it again.

As I searched through Cristiano’s pant pockets I shook my head disapprovingly as I felt multiple pieces of papers in his pockets.

It wasn’t until I took them out of his pocket that my heart began to break. All of them had numbers and names written on. Some where even sprayed with cheap perfume in an attempt to get Cristiano’s attention.

I scoffed at the desperation of some of these woman before putting the papers back in his pocket and threw his pants back where I found them.

I took one deep breath before I walked back upstairs. As I entered the room I took in Cristiano’s sleeping form.

No matter how hard I try I will never be good enough for him. no matter what I did I could never really make him completely happy.

I gave him one final look before creeping into the bed and falling asleep next to him.

I smiled as I walked down stairs to find Marley and Junior eating breakfast.

As I entered the kitchen I gave Marley a kiss on the cheek before sitting next to my son while Marley made me breakfast. The three of us exchanged light conversation and I couldn’t help but feel happy as I took in the picture.

Not that we were a happy family but taking in the fact that I had managed to have a happy family life despite my naughty night adventures.

“Lets hang out together today” I suggested as I watched Marley twitch.

That was odd she has never reacted like this before. I just shrugged that off as I tried to spend some alone time with her.

“I mean we never do anything together anymore and I’d love to spend some time with you” I said in an attempt to smooth talk her.

She gave me one look before nodding her head and agreeing to it.

“Great I’ll ask my mom to look after Junior and then me and you can leave” I smiled before standing up and looking for my mom.

Marley didn’t even react to my suggestion as she walked to the bedroom and got changed. Once we were both satisfied with our appearance we left the house and spent half the day walking around the city and shopping.

When we were done shopping at Dolce and Gabbana, Marley announced that she was hungry so I nodded my head as I drove us to one of the popular eateries in the city.

We were quickly seated and handed our menus. Once our drinks were served Marley and I sat and began to converse.

“Babe you’ve been really quite. Is everything ok?” I asked as Marley looked at everything but me.

“Yeah I’m fine” she shrugged as she turned back to her drink.

I knew something was wrong but I didn’t want to cause a scene. So I took a different tactic in an attempt to get her to speak.

“So Iker was mentioning how he loved this play at he and Sara went to. Its about a couple who learn about the need to be honest with each other to make things work” I began as Marley eyes widen and she looked at me.

“You want us to see a play about honesty?” she laughed.

“Yes. I just think that maybe we could learn a few thing”

She giggled at my suggestion before answering.

“Don’t you find that just a little bit ironic?”

I looked at her confusion as she opened her mouth to explain.

“Cristiano I kn….”

“Oh my gosh Cristiano Ronaldo is that you?” a peroxide blonde with large breasts screamed as she walked up to our table.

I panicked as she came closer as I realised who this girl was. The last thing I needed was for Marley to know who she was.

“Oh my gosh Cris I didn’t think I’d ever see you again. I mean I gave you my number to call me after that fantastic night we spent together. I mean I know its only been 2 da…”

“Uhm I don’t know what you think happened between us…” I interrupted her before she could expose me. “but I think you have the wrong idea. I would never cheat on my girlfriend” I smiled as I took Marley’s hand that was laying on top of the table.

Marley didn’t react at my touch as I desperately tried to get rid of the woman.

“Now Melanie if you don’t mind. Can you leave me and my girlfriend along” I dismissed the blonde as she looked on in horror at my rejection of her.

She merely huffed before turning on her heel and walking away.

“Man fangirls are out of control” I attempted to laugh as Marley shrugged my hand off hers. “What’s going on now? You know nothing happened right?” I began to explain.

She just shook her head and laughed before taking a sip of her drink.

“It’s funny how nothing happened between you two yet somehow you know what her name is” she noted as I opened my mouth in shock.

I tried to explain but she waved me off.

“There’s nothing you can say that can make this better Cris. I’m an idiot for even thinking you could change. Now if you don’t mind why don’t we finish our lunch and go home. After that you can tell me everything about those whores you’ve been sneaking around with behind my back”

She added calmly before calling the waiter over and ordering our food.
