Who Are You? The Football Manager.

Chapter 7: Dealing with Cristiano

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 3-day weekends mean a lot of things: more sleep, less school, and most importantly: more updates!! Remember, you all have the right to hit me in the head with a football if I say something stupid "Defenders can never score goals" or anything else like that.

THANKS FOR ALL THE VOTES AND COMMENTS!!

*ARIANNA'S POV*

"ARIANNA! ARE YOU HERE?" I heard his voice from the tunnel behind me and I instantly froze. He couldn't be here? How did he get here so fast? I knew he was going to be worried, but did he really come here? I was planning to call him after practice; I didn't think he would be here before practice ended! I closed my eyes, slowly turned around and prayed that I was hallucinating.

"ARIANNA!"

I opened my eyes and sighed, nope, he was really here. I sent an apologetic glance at Pep Guardiola before running to Cristiano. "Cristiano! What are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be here! Didn't you see my note?! I told you I was fine!"

But he didn't listen to a word I said, as soon as he got to me, he pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "Your note didn't explain a thing! I was about to be charged with attempt to murder because Mourinho he kept stalling time. Don't you dare ever do that again!"

I sighed into his chest, "I was going to call you after practice, but you're so impatient and stubborn!"

"That reminds me..." He let go of me and walked purposefully towards Pep. Oh no...

"Good evening Mr. Ronaldo," Pep said as he approached him.

"Good evening, I'm here to take Arianna back to Real Madrid. She is an assistant manager at Madrid and will be as long as I can do anything about it. There must have been some misunderstanding because when her contract was signed, it was tied to mine and that means as long as I'm at Madrid, so is she. I apologize for any inconvenience, but you will need to find a new assistant."

"I'm sorry but it seems as though you are the one with a misunderstanding, as per her contract, as long as you are playing, she is guaranteed a job, but not necessarily at Real Madrid." Pep looked through multiple papers before he pulled out a copy of my contract. "She didn't sign a contract with Real Madrid like you did; she signed one with La Liga."

Cristiano's eyebrows furrowed as he frowned, deep in thought, trying to recall our last contract signing.

*FLASHBACK- CRISTIANO's POV*

It was the year 2009 and I was signing my five year contract for Real Madrid. I shifted nervously in my seat; Arianna, who was next to me, gave me a reassuring smile.

"Alright Mr. Ronaldo, after signing this you will officially become a part of Real Madrid," the man in front of me told me. He handed me the contract and I quickly skimmed through it again.

I frowned in confusion and annoyance, "There isn't anything about Arianna in here," I stated as I looked up at the man.

He looked back at me puzzled, "She is the Manchester United B Team manager; she will be staying there, of course."

"No, that is not what we discussed. She was to come with me and become a coach at Madrid! I am not leaving her alone in England while I'm in Spain." I said angered.

"Cristiano, it's fine. I can't be with you everywhere." Arianna said, trying to calm me down.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ronaldo, we can't change the contract now."
