Take Good Care of My Baby

Cristiano got to spend time with Junior after the shoot and won his match a couple of days later. He was changing after training when the team’s media guy came into the changing room to remind them about their interview with GQ. “I’m sure the interview will be quick” Pepe said after Cristiano groaned. “It’s not the interview” Cristiano said not wanting to be in the same room as that journalist from the shoot. Cristiano had seen the way he had looked at Molly. Idiot he thought. Trying to pick up girls at his work.

"So Irina has her Vogue shoot today" Pepe said to Cristiano as the strolled towards the media room at their training ground. "As if she'd leave anyone forget she had" Cristiano sighed. "What has you in a grump?" Pepe asked. "I'm not in a grump" Cristiano said. "Sure you aren't" Pepe said rolling his eyes. "I'm just tired. I just want this things over so I can go home to Junior and Mol-

"Hey Iker are you done?" Cristiano suddenly asked as their captain came towards them. "Yup" Iker smiled. "That was quick. You only went in a few minutes ago" Pepe said. "Supergirl made sure it went fast" Iker said looking at his phone. "Supergirl?" Cristiano asked. "You'll see for yourself. I better go. I'm meeting Sara" Iker said. "Whipped" Pepe coughed. "See if you're still smiling when you have to deal with him in a few minutes" Iker muttered to Pepe before leaving.

"What did he say?" Cristiano asked. "I'm not sure" Pepe replied confused. Cristiano opened the door to the media room and heard a very familiar laugh. He looked across the room and found Molly sitting at a table. And she wasn't alone. "How can you say that he is better. You're English. You have to side with Wilkinson" Luke said to Molly. "Oh please" Molly said rolling her eyes. "He won us the World Cup" Luke said. "I know I watched it. I was made get up really early to watch it" Molly said. "It wasn't that early" Luke laughed. "It was when you don't like mornings" Molly replied. "Not a morning person. I'll remember that" Luke smiled at her.

“Molly" Cristiano said and she looked up to see him and Pepe standing in front of her. "Oh hey guys. I didn't hear you come in" she said. "You were too busy laughing I guess" Cristiano said his eyes firmly on Luke.

"What are you doing here?” Cristiano asked. “I swear sometimes he doesn’t want me around” Molly joked. “Well we always want you around” Sergio said appearing next to Pepe. “I do want you around… I mean....What are you doing here and not with Junior. I just wasn’t expecting you” Cristiano asked. “I wasn’t expecting her either but the day got better” Luke said and Molly smiled at him.

“Well since I did such a good job in making sure you lot didn’t do anything stupid at the photo shoot Jorge and the other agents thought I’d be the best girl for the job to make sure you didn’t say anything stupid” Molly said. “Ha you better tape Sergio’s mouth shut then” Pepe said and everyone laughed.

“Hola” Sergio said to Luke. “Luke works for GQ. He’s going to be asking you some questions. Luke this is well everyone” Molly said. “Nice to meet you all” Luke said. “You’re English” Pepe said. “Just like Molly” Luke said smiling at the brunette. “Are you interviewing us all?” Cristiano asked. “Oh ya it will be quick” Luke said. “The he should be good at asking us questions” Cristiano said. “Ya. I guess we should start” Luke said. “Ya I’m sick of rugby talk” Molly smirked at Luke.

"Rugby" Sergio said. "No she's a football chica. Don't be making her like something else" Marcelo said. "I put up with both" Molly said. "Ya but him over Wilkinson" Luke shook his head. "Hey three words to watch Rugby. Dan freaking Carter" she smirked. "You go with the hot one" Luke said. "Always easier to watch if you've got something nice to watch" Molly smirked. "That's why she likes watching us" Marcelo said and everyone laughed. "No she only watches for me" Sergio winked. "Are we doing this interview or what?" Cristiano asked.

"Now that wasn't so bad" Marcelo said. "No it wasn't" Cristiano said as he watched Molly laughing at something had said to Luke as he was been interviewed. "You heading to the car park?" Marcelo asked. "I want to see if Mols needs a lift" Cristiano replied. "K i'll see you later" Marcelo said. "He asks stupid questions" Sergio huffed as he came to stand by Cristiano. "Ya he does" Cristiano said. "I thought they were alright. He seemed like he knew what he was talking about. I thought you'd love to talk fashion" Pepe said. "Mmm" Cristiano said staring at Luke who was now packing up his things as Molly laughed.

"Looks like you have competition Ramos" Higuain smirked as he came towards them. "Huh" Sergio said. "It's not just footballers who seem smitten with Molly" Higuain smirked. "She a nice person. It's hard not to like her" Cristiano said. "I'm sure that's not the only thing hard for GQ guy" Higuain laughed. "Shut your mouth" Sergio warned. "Mols" Cristiano said as the lady in question joined the little group near the door. "Yes" she said. "Yes what?" he asked. "Yes I need a lift. Anderia dropped me in. I swear no one wants me to drive lately" she said. "Crazy driver?" Luke asked. "Nah just crazy" she giggled. "Let's go so" Cristiano said. "I told your sister we'd bring back lunch" she said heading to the door. "That's fine" he said. "Thanks again for the shoot and interview. The magazine should be a sell out" Luke said as they strolled down the hall. "Well I'm in it so of course it will be a sell out" Higuain smirked. "And there's that confidence I was talking about" Molly joked to Luke. "Thank you also for all your help" Luke said to Molly.

"I didn't..." she started to say but then saw Cristiano tilt his head at her. "Your welcome. I'm glad I made everything run better than ever" she smiled. "Well I'd be happy to get off a long flight and go straight to a shoot if you would be there" Luke said. "Thanks" she smiled. "Right Luke nice to meet you. Can't wait to see the magazine. We should head" Cristiano said holding his hand out to Luke. "Nice to meet you too. All of you" Luke said nodding at Pepe, Sergio and Huiguin. "We might see you again" Pepe said. "Hopefully" Luke smiled looking at Molly.

"Lunch Mols before Elma gets cranky" Cristiano said. "Forget her getting cranky I'm starving" she said. "Well I better feed you quickly then" Cristiano smiled placing an arm around her shoulders. "Nice meeting you Luke. I hope Jorge and the other agents won't be annoying you" she said. "I hope so too" he said. "Well do a good job writing the article up and I'm sure you won't have anything to worry about" she smiled. "Just in case Mendes does need to yell at me" Luke said opening his laptop bag. "Give him this" he said handing her a business card.

"It had my office number on it. And this one had my mobile number. If you ever want to discuss Rugby give me a call" he said handing her another card. "Depends if you come around to liking Carter" she smirked. "Maybe you should call and try and persuade me" he smirked before his phone started to ring. Taking advantage of Luke's distraction, Cristiano said goodbye and pulled Molly towards the car park.

"Looks like Molly's a little smitten herself" Higuain muttered to Cristiano and Sergio who both glared at the Argentine. "Cristiano" Molly said and he turned to face her. "This is your car" she said. "Oh ya" he said. "See you later boys" Molly waved. "Do you fancy watching a movie after lunch? Junior will be having his nap and I really don't want to do any housework, exercise or Jorge work" she said fixing her seat belt into place. "Ya you me and a movie sounds great" he said looking over at her. "You have turn it on to make it move Cristiano" she said. "Huh" he said. "The car. Are we getting out of here or what?" she smiled. "Ya let's go home" he said before she waved at the passing car with Luke in it.

The movie filled afternoon never happened as Dolores had fainted while she was out and had been refusing to take it easy before Molly and Cristiano had arrived back at the house. Molly eventually persuaded her to lie down and Elma and Cristiano's minds couldn't help but worry.

"She just didn't eat and drink enough today Cristiano. She'll be fine after a rest" Molly said as she started to prepare dinner whilst he sat on a stool at the counter top later in the day. "Ya" he said tapping his fingers on the work top. "She will be, Even Elma agrees with me. Well eventually" Molly said. Molly knew everyone was worried when it came to Dolores's health. And for a good reason. But she was healthy. Today was just a reminder for the older lady to take better care of herself.

"What if..." he paused as he tapped his fingers. "No what ifs. She does needs to rest and eat. She's told me enough times. Now it's my chance to annoy her" Molly smiled and he couldn't help but half smile himself. "And it's something you don't need practice for" he said as she closed the fridge. "Hey" she said placing her hand over his to stop his fingers from tapping. "Stop worrying" she said stroking his hand with her thumb. "I'm sorry about our movie afternoon. Or lack of it" he said. "Well I'm just glad she listened to me and went for a rest. So missing the movie was worth it" she said. "Thanks Mols" he said.

"Cristiano" Irina screeched from the hallway and Molly lifted her hand away from Cristiano's and started to peel an onion. "Why haven't you been answering my calls?" Irina asked coming into the kitchen. "I switched it off" he said. "Oh for heaven sake" she said. "Maé fainted today and I was spending time with her" he said. "I wanted you to come meet me so we could have dinner with everyone from the shoot" she said and he sighed. "Did you not hear what I said?" he asked. "You could have put it on silent so you could get my text messages" Irina pouted. "How was your photoshoot Irina?" Molly asked. She knew after the day he had that Cristiano was near snapping point. "Oh it was fabulous" the model beamed and proceeded to talk about her whole day.

"Oh my God, they only picked you lot cos Barcelona players couldn't do it" Ana groaned as she stormed past Pepe, Marcelo and Clarice into Cristiano's house. "No they wanted the best" Marcelo said as they walked to the living room. "I swear I will shove that magazine where the sun doesn't shine if you keep talking about it" Ana warned Pepe.

"Hola" Cristiano said looking up from the couch, confused as to why they were in his house at nearly 9 at night. "Elma let us in as she was heading out" Pepe said. "What are you all doing here?" Irina asked annoyed that her time with Cristiano was being interrupted. "We came to see how Dolores was" Ana said and Cristiano smiled at his thoughtful friends. "And see if she could help Ana shut this two from talking about how much GQ loved them" Clarice joked.

"Hey it's not our fault they wanted us" Pepe smirked. "Pepe" Ana warned. "I still would have liked to have seen Pique in a suit the other day" Molly smirked as she came into the room. "I told it was a silly idea to have Pepe in the magazine" Ana groaned. "Aww Ana let him have his fun" Molly said and Pepe grinned. "And you stop talking about the shoot. You all know you'll only have a small picture given the amount of you that were in it" Molly said to Pepe. "Ah Mols don't ruin it for us" Marcelo groaned.

"It was only me at my shoot today so there's going to plenty of photos of me" Irina smiled. "I'm sure they'll be lovely" Molly said and Ana rolled her eyes. "Would you guys like something to drink or eat?" Molly asked. "No thanks Mols. We just came to see how Dolores was" Clarice said. "She's currently watching a cooking show with her adorable grandson. She's fine. Nothing to worry about and no need for fussing" Molly said looking at Cristiano. "That's good" Ana said. "She'd be up to shutting Pepe up for Ana so" Clarice joked. "Hey for the first time in a very long time I actually had fun doing all those photoshoots and interview crap" Pepe said.

"We weren't the only ones who had fun. Were we Mols?" Marcelo smirked at her. "I had a good day. But I think I'll let Jorge do them from now on" Molly said. "Molly prefers the interviews rather than the photoshoot part. Or the interviewer prefers her" Marcelo said. "Oh shut up" Molly said heading over to the kitchen table to get her bag. "What is he talking about?" Ana asked. "Nothing" Cristiano and Molly said in unison. Ana looked at Cristiano and knew there was more to this. "Pepe" Ana asked. "I don't know" her boyfriend shrugged. "Oh come on, that guy from GQ was so into Molly. Are ye two both blind?" Marcelo asked.

"Wait what" Clarice said. "Ignore your husband. He's been an idiot" Molly said. "Well he was very interested to know about you" Marcelo smirked. "He was?" Molly asked. "Oh this sounds interesting. Tell us more" Clarice said. "Was he cute? What did he say to you?" Ana asked Molly. "He was interviewing them for the mag. He was friendly nothing else" Molly said. "Cos every guy asks if a chica has a boyfriend" Marcelo said. "He asked you that?" Clarice asked her husband. "Oh he likes you" Ana said to Molly. "He does not. He was just being nice Ana. I'm never going to see him again" Molly said. "He did seem very interested in you giving him a call to talk about Rugby" Marcelo smirked.

"Do you want to up and see Maé?" Cristiano asked them. "Rugby?" Ana asked Molly ignoring Cristiano. "He's from Manchester. We got talking. Now before I forget I have a lipstick of yours" Molly said pulling her purse out of her bag. "She's changing the subject. Ooo Mols so wants to talk rugby with him" Clarice winked at her. "He did give her his card" Marcelo said and Cristiano glared at the defender. "Oh this one" Ana said grabbing the white card that was poking out of Molly's bag.

"Ana give it back" Molly said. "Oh Luke Thompson. He sounds cute" Ana smirked at her. "Ana" Molly said. "Maybe you should phone him" Ana said. "Ana" Molly said trying to get the card back. "Ana just give her the card" Cristiano snapped. "I'm not going to phone him" Molly said walking towards Ana who was moving as far away as she could from Molly. "Maybe I should then" Ana smirked and pulled out her own phone and began to dial the number on the card.

"Ana" Molly yelled rushing towards her friend. "Now now Molly just leave her" Clarice said blocking Molly from Ana. "Ana get off the phone" Molly said. "Ana" Cristiano and Pepe said. "Oh hello" Ana said into the phone. "Ana" Molly warned. "Hi I'm a friend of Molly. You meet her today apparently" Ana said. "Give me the phone" Molly said eventually getting past Clarice and snapping the phone from Ana's hand.

"Hello" she said into the phone. "Molly" Luke said. "Hi" she said embarrassed and annoyed. "Glad you or should I say your friend called" he laughed. "The friend part is debatable right now" Molly glared at Ana before heading out of the room.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Cristiano yelled. "Ya Ana what were you thinking?" Pepe asked. "What Molly is young and beautiful. Ana just gave her a push" Clarice said. "Maybe into his arms" Ana smirked not missing the glare Cristiano was giving her. "She's going to pissed at you though" Clarice said to Ana. "She'll forgive me. Did you not see the blush on her face when we were talking about him?" Ana asked Clarice. "She wasn't blushing" Cristiano snapped. "The real question is why he would want her to phone him" Irina scoffed from the couch.

"So?" Clarice asked as Molly came back into the room. "I cannot believe you just did that" Molly said to Ana. "I'm sorry. Now what did he say?" Ana asked. "I'm going to get Junior ready for bed" she told Cristiano. "Molly you can't leave us hanging" Marcelo said. "Good night everyone" she said. "Mols I'm sorry I shouldn't done that. I just knew that you wouldn't ring him. At least not straight away. Please tell us what he said" Ana begged.

"He's taking me for dinner tomorrow night" Molly smiled.
