Sway with Me

"Cristiano Ronaldo was seen last night with Brazilian model, Andressa Urach; the pair were spotted at local nightclub, Reinabruja, before they headed off back to his place for the night. We can only guess what Ronaldo's girlfriend of nearly three years will have to say about this," the reporter on the television said.

Jorge Mendes sighed as he switched off the television and looked at the Portuguese footballer who was sat next to his girlfriend; the agent rubbed his temples as he wondered what he was going to do about his client.

Irina Shayk looked less than pleased about what her boyfriend had done while she had been out with her friends the night before; she was furious that he had brought a woman back to their home and then had proceeded to act innocent when she had walked in on them.

"Cristiano, this can't keep happening," Jorge said looking tired as he looked at his client, who rolled his eyes as he sipped on his bottle of water.

The Portuguese footballer couldn't bring himself to care what his agent thought, he was sick of listening to the same lectures over and over again.

"Cris... we have to get rid of this gossip and bad press. Real Madrid is considering letting your contract run out and not extending it, no club wants to sign you because of your recent behaviour," Jorge said as he rubbed his temple as he started to get a headache.

He wondered why all his clients seemed to go this way, but he knew that Cristiano had a reason for acting out like this, unlike the others.

Cristiano sighed, he knew that his agent was right but he was an asshole and a cocky one at that; it wasn't that he couldn't play fair or that he wasn't a team player, he was a committed player for any team he played for.

After getting signed for Manchester United at eighteen, plus the fact that girls around the world took notice of him more than ever; his ego had gotten pretty big and all that mattered to him where the materialistic things now.

"I don't see how my behaviour off the pitch has anything to do with what happens on it," the Portuguese commented making Jorge frown while Irina pursed her lips; he still hadn't apologised for what he had done to her yet.

"They're afraid that you will become unreliable and a fight risk... the world doesn't need another Mario Balotelli," Jorge commented making Cristiano sigh as he ran a hand through his hair.

"You're twenty-eight years old, yet you act like a hot-shot kid of eighteen still. Time for you to grow up, I know what happened with Penny was hard but it's time for you to move on," Jorge said making Cristiano glare at him; he didn't like anyone mentioning Penny around him, it was still a sore spot even after two years.

Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro rocked her young grandson back and forth as she watched her youngest son for a moment; she had no idea what to do anymore. "

Papa," Junior said as he spotted his father making Cristiano look at him, a smile formed on the footballer's face at the sight of the infant.

Dolores smiled at her son as he took Junior from her and cuddled the little boy close making Irina frown as she watched the father and son; Cristiano hadn't made any excuses for what he had done and it was clear that their relationship was slowly falling apart.

"I've missed you," Cristiano mused to his little boy as he moved back into the living room and sat Junior on his knee, his son smiled at him as he wrapped his arms around him, holding him close.

It was at that moment that Jorge re-entered the living room, he had talked Cristiano through his options for improving his image and the footballer hadn't agreed to any of them.

"What about Más que baile?" Jorge asked making Cristiano look at him confused while Irina snorted amused at the thought of her boyfriend on a dance competition show.

"It's a Ballroom and Latin dance competition. My wife watches it and that got me thinking that they are looking for celebrities for their next season; it pairs celebrities with a professional dancer for fourteen weeks and everything is captured on camera," Jorge said as Cristiano's two older sisters walked into the room.

They looked at their brother's agent confused, since they had only caught the end of the conversation.

"It's like Dança Comigo... the professional teaches you a different type of dance each week and you perform it then get graded; the audience at home votes for who they liked best. Each week they eliminate a contestant until there's only two left standing, and they have this grand finale and announce the winner," Jorge continued to explain as Cristiano's sister Elma grinned.

She loved Dança Comigo and had to admit that she liked the idea of her little brother competing in a dance show.

Cristiano shifted his son on his lap as he stared at his agent, he knew that now his sisters had heard about this opportunity then he wasn't going to hear the end of it.

"Cristiano, it would give you a chance to clean up your reputation and you'll be surrounded by beautiful women, who'll be half naked most of the time," Nuno Aveiro said as he looked at his cousin.

Irina huffed as she crossed her arms causing Cristiano glanced at his Russian girlfriend, he knew that all this talk about Más que baile was bothering her.

Nuno grinned, there was nothing he liked better than getting under the skin of the Russian model; he didn't know what his cousin saw in her and was glad that she was only a rebound.

"Don't be stupid... it's not like Cristiano can dance," Irina snapped making Cristiano glare at her as she flashed him a smirk; she wanted to hurt him for what he had done to her last night.

Junior played with his father's fingers pulling Cristiano's attention away from his girlfriend as he smiled down at his son; the Russian frowned as Nuno grinned at her amused.

"I bet you couldn't even make it two weeks in that competition," Irina goaded making Cristiano look at her, he never ignored a challenge; Nuno furrowed his brow wondering what the Russian model was planning.

"And what if I did?" Cristiano challenged making Irina smirk as he played right into her hands, she hadn't expected him to fall into her trap so easily. The Russian model licked her lips amused.

"What does it matter it's not like you'll actually do it," she said making Cristiano frown while Nuno looked at his cousin concerned; he really didn't like what the model was doing.

Jorge walked into the kitchen that was filled with tension making him look around confused as he turned to face his client.

"I'll do it if you can get me on that show Jorge," Cristiano said making him stare at him shocked.

Irina smirked as she watched her boyfriend before tapping her fingers on the table; she couldn't believe that it would be this easy.

All she had to do now was make sure that they had a bet running when he was eliminated from the programme then everything would fall into place.

Nuno looked at Jorge who nodded before heading to make the necessary calls; the younger Portuguese had a bad feeling about what the Russian beauty had planned.
