The Wedding Date

Part One - Chapter Fifteen: Making Things Right

Cristiano smiled as he woke up with Felisa still in his arms, he knew that she hadn’t forgiven him completely and he wanted to do something about that; he wasn’t going to allow her to slip through his fingers now.

The footballer pressed a kiss to the brunette’s head as she slept soundly before he carefully climbed out of bed and smiled to himself as he padded out of the bedroom and headed for the kitchen to make breakfast; he knew that he had to do something special if he wanted to Felisa to forgive him completely.

Cristiano yawned softly as he ran a hand through his hair, he felt exhausted and knew that their late night chat had taken a little out of him; he really worried that she’d just want to return to their contract and forget their feelings for one another.

He quickly set about making some breakfast knowing that this was the first step in showing Felisa just how he felt for her; he had the whole day planned and he was determined to gain her full forgiveness.

Cristiano’s mind was already filled with ideas to help Felisa, he knew that she would willing leave her job for him and he wanted to help her find a new job; the brunette couldn’t work as an escort forever and he couldn’t help but worry for her safety.

Of course, he knew that her Madame insisted that all men had a medical test to check for any diseases that could be passed on to any of her girls; Cristiano was sort of grateful for that since he hated to think that anyone could have given Felisa anything like that.

“Manhã,” Felisa greeted as she walked into the kitchen, she smiled at Cristiano who was in deep thought and jumped when she greeted him; she chuckled as she approached him and pressed a kiss to his lips.

“Okay where are we going again?” Felisa asked as she climbed out of the car and looked at Cristiano, she shouldered her black quilted lock cross body bag; the footballer had insisted that he take her out for the day and had spent the morning showing her around central Algarve.

Cristiano had felt it was his duty when Felisa had told him that she had never really been to Portugal, since her parents had fled the country with her as a baby; the footballer wanted her to know as much as possible about their native country.

“We’re going to have some lunch,” Cristiano said amused as he took her hand and pulled her close, he kissed her softly knowing that she had enjoyed their trip more than she was letting on.

Felisa smiled into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around Cristiano, she didn’t know what had gotten into him that morning but she had a feeling that he was still feeling a little guilty about what had happened between them the day before; even if she was willing to forget about it.

The brunette had opted to wear a nude wrap blouse and black skinny jeans paired with black cut out ankle boots; she had wanted to look nice since this was their first sort-of date.

“Shall we?” Cristiano breathed as he pulled back from kissing Felisa, he knew what would happen if they continued and he knew that it would only end up with them being arrested for public indecency.

Felisa chuckled as she nodded her head, she pressed one final kiss to his lips before she allowed him to lead her towards the restaurant where he had reservations; the couple were at the Vilamoura marina and the brunette had no idea what the footballer had planned but she knew that it was something big.

Felisa choked on her drink as Cristiano placed a small box on the table before her, she blinked as she set down her glass wondering what he was given her; it wasn’t small enough to be a ring but it was clearly expensive.

“Cris?” the brunette breathed as she looked at the footballer, she didn’t know what he was giving her but she’d never been given jewellery before; not like this, getting things were a perk of her job but this felt different to Felisa.

The brunette usually ended up pawning the stuff that was expensive so that she could make a little more money or if it was clothing, she would give it to her sister so that Rhea didn’t end up wearing a lot of her old clothes.

“I wanted to get you something nice,” Cristiano said shrugging as he sipped on his drink, he watched her knowing that she was surprised; he wanted to give her something nice and had picked this out when she wasn’t looking.

Felisa eyed him for a moment before she reached over and picked the box up, she didn’t know why she felt so nervous but she knew that this piece of jewellery would be the one that she kept; she couldn’t help but wonder why he had done this for her.

Opening the box, the brunette stared speechless as she stared at the 14CT gold sixty point chocolate diamond pendant that lay inside; Felisa blinked as she looked up at Cristiano making him chuckle.

The footballer carefully move to take the necklace from her before he stood from his seat and move behind her to put it around her neck; Cristiano brushed some hair from Felisa’s neck and smile as his fingers tenderly brushed against the exposed skin.

“Aww how sweet,” said a voice making Cristiano frown as he took his seat again, he glared at Luciana wondering why she seemed determined to ruin his life; he had thought he’d seen the last of her when she dumped her at the altar.

However the blonde seemed determined to hang around when she wasn’t wanted, Cristiano didn’t even know why Luciana had come back at all.

“What do you want?” the footballer asked as he glared at the blonde, he didn’t want her interrupting his date with Felisa; he was trying to show her how he felt and having his ex-fiancée hovering around wouldn’t do him any favours.

Luciana pursed her lips knowing that she would do anything to get him back, she didn’t know what it was about Felisa but she wasn’t right for Cristiano and the blonde was more determined than ever to find out what it was.

“I wanted to talk to you,” Luciana said as she glared at the brunette, she was sure that she could win Cristiano back if she exposed Felisa’s secret; she just had to discover what it was and everything could go back to the way it was again.

Cristiano frowned at her words, he had nothing to say to his ex-fiancée and he didn’t know why she was making things difficult for him; he took Felisa’s hand knowing what he wanted.

“I have nothing to say… I’m on a date with my girlfriend,” Cristiano said stubbornly as he glared at Luciana for a moment before he smiled at the brunette that was sat at his side.

Felisa smiled back at him, she felt her heart flutter as his words knowing that they were different this time; she truly was his girlfriend now and things could only get better when they returned to Madrid.

Luciana stared at the footballer, she knew that he could never learn what she had done to him behind his back; it would destroy everything and she’d never be able to win him back.

“This isn’t over,” Luciana snarled furiously as she turned and walked away, she couldn’t wait to expose Felisa’s secret and she knew that it would win her place back in Cristiano’s heart.
