Diez [Lionel Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo FanFic]

Chapter 10

"Are you sure they'll like me?" I ask Leo worriedly as we got off the plane. This is the first time I'm meeting his family and I'm terrified they won't like me or think I'm good enough for their son.

Leo smiles and tells me, "Calm down, amor, they'll love you as much as I do. Come on, the car should be here by now." Leo leads me out of the airport with Thiago in his arms and to a driver holding a sign that says "Cuccittini" on it. Some paparazzi take a picture of us, but there's not as many as there is in Barcelona, so they're easy to ignore.

"Hola," the older man says opening the door for us and grabbing the luggage to put in the trunk. Leo looks at how nervous I am and puts a reassuring hand on my arm, "Calmate."

I smile shyly back at him before taking Thiago from him and holding the little boy. "Are you excited to see Abuela y Abuelo?" T just giggles at my silliness. The driver enters the car before asking Leo where to take them.

"My apartment, I'll drive us to my parents house," he instructs.

After about 20 minutes of driving in beautiful Argentina, we pull up to a modern building and get out.

He smiles at me before taking Thiago from me and walked inside. The driver follows him with luggage, leaving me just to stand around and take in my surroundings.

"Mari!" Leo yells from the doorway with Thiago in his arms.

"Si?"

"Ven aca, you need to get changed for dinner!"

-

Leo pulls up onto the street where his parent's house is in Rosario, and where his entire family is already outside playing and talking. Once his family spots his Audi, his niece and nephews made a run for the car. As soon as he parks, his mother practically breaks the door opening it so fast.

"Aye Dios mío! I thought I would never see my baby again! You must come home more often! Where is my Thiago?" She cried, hugging him.

"Hola, Madre. Thiago is in the backseat. Go get him," He said kissing her cheeks. Leo looks over to me before motioning for me to join him. I get out of the car and walk over to his side where he wraps his arm around my shoulder and yells for everyone to listen.

"This is my girlfriend, Mari."

The adults respond with polite smiles while the kids run to hug me.

Leo's father, Jorge, comes up to us and pulls Leo into a tight hug. "Mi hijo! Como es Barcelona?"

Leo brightly smiles at his father, "Es bueno. Padre, this is Marisol."

"Hola, Marisol! Call me Jorge, por favor," the older Argentine welcomes me with two kisses on the cheek, "Y this is my wife, Celia," he continues while he pulls Leo's mother over, who's fussing over Thiago.

Celia walks over to us, with Thiago happily in her arms, and smiles at us before giving me a kiss on my cheek, "Aye, Leo, she's too skinny. You need to feed the poor girl."

Leo laughs at his mother and gives her kiss on the cheek, "She's perfect, Madre. See? She even fattened me up some," he jokes while patting his stomach.

Celia pulls me from Leo's arms, "Ven aca, you have to meet everyone."

My boyfriend pulls me back, "I'll introduce her, Madre, give her a few seconds to adjust."

His mother gives him a questioning look, "Mijo, she'll be fine. No mordemos."

And with that I was off to meet everyone.

She brings me over to Leo's brothers, Matias and Rodrigo, first. "Boys, this is Marisol," she introduces as they share a look, "welcome her to the family."

Matias is the first to give me a cold, "Bienvenidos." While Rodrigo is a bit warmer and adds a kiss to my cheek before calling his wife, Florencia, over.

"Hola, welcome to Argentina. Is it your first time here?" She asks warmly, with a kiss on the cheek as a welcoming.

"No, first time. It's beautiful, hopefully I'll get to see more while I'm here."

She nods towards me before turning to Celia, "Rosana, Maria Sol, and I should take her shopping and sight seeing."

"Claro, but let Leo show her around first before he has to go to Brazil, Flor."

Florencia nods before agreeing, "Bien, so we'll take you to all the good places, rather than the ones with memories for Leo."

Celia leaves me to talk a bit more with Florencia before Leo comes over and joins us. Flor excuses herself to go check on her kids.

"Madre, where's Maria Sol?"

"Out with her boyfriend."

Leo gives a bewildered look, "What boyfriend? Why didn't I know about this? Matias, Rodrigo, quien es el?"

His brothers burst out in laughter, "Calmate, Leo, he used to play with Lucas at Newell's. He plays for Colón now."

"She can't date a footballer!"

I couldn't contain my laughter when he said that. The three Messi brothers are looking at me like I'm crazy.

"Siento, Cris said the same thing to me," I explain.

"Cris?" Celia asks, re-joining the conversation with Thiago in her arms.

"My brother," I say shortly.

"I didn't know you had a brother? Do you have any other siblings?" Celia asks. 

"Madre! Por favor can we get back to the topic of Maria's boyfriend? What's his name?" Leo demands, snapping at his mother.

"Aye Leo! I won't tolerate such rudeness in my house!" His mother interjects.

Ignoring his brother and mother, Rodrigo answers Leo's question, "Germán Conti, pero he goes by his middle name, Andres."

"Cuando van a estar de vuelta?"

"They'll be back around 10, Leo. Vamos, let's go eat. You want Lala's cooking, mi amor?" Celia says before switching her attention to Thiago.

-

After eating and getting to know everyone better, we all went back outside to relax. Leo and I played soccer with his nephews while Rosana, Matias' wife, watched Thiago.

"Tio, is Argentina going to win?" Tomas asked before passing to Augustine.

"We'll do our best, Tomas. You're going to come see me play, si?"

Morena takes over, "Si, we're coming to see Bosnia and Nigeria."

"Bien. And you'll help Mari with Thiago, he's a handful," Leo asks them before giving me a wink.

"Of course," the four of them respond, with Benjamin adding, "She's pretty," at the end.

"Yes, she is."

Leo gives me a smile before turning around to see a car turning onto the street. When he realizes this, Matias yells, "Sol esta aqui!"

"Time to meet the boyfriend," I smile at him.
