Chapter 437: New Home II
“Let me show you around,” Ronaldo said to Jason, getting up from the table after they were both done eating.
“Sure,” Jason replied and got up as well, already done with his own food as well.
They soon began walking through the house and Ronaldo showed him a big pool in the back before they moved on to the training area in the compound.
The place had a gym fitted with top level equipment, a mini field, a bath house for ice baths, steam baths and hot water baths as well as a few other things.
“I know that normally it’s cold in January here in Italy, but it’s a lot colder than I was expecting,” Jason muttered as they walked back towards the house, the sight of the swimming pool making him shiver.
“Yeah, I haven’t been here for too long either, but it’s colder than last year,” Ronaldo replied, rubbing his hands together.
“Hey, wanna swim?” Ronaldo suddenly called out to Jason as an idea suddenly popped up in his head.
“Oh hell naw, not in this weather,” was what Jason wanted to say, but the words refused to leave his mouth.
“That’s an extreme cold bath in this weather… let’s do it,” he ended up saying, already feeling himself shivering from the cold water.Ronaldo snickered when he saw Jason’s eyes that betrayed his actual feelings about diving into cold water and he almost burst out in laughter, but he kept his laughter in check.
Ronaldo led Jason to a nearby bathhouse where there were extra swim trunks and they quickly washed up before going back to the pool.
Looking at the pool again, Jason was thinking to himself that this was probably the worst idea that anyone could come up with at the moment and he was about to chicken out when suddenly somebody shoved into him from behind.
“Fu*k!” he cussed as he fell into the water.
*SPLASH!*
Jason falling into the pool was a sight to see and Ronaldo was laughing at him from the edge of the pool after pushing him in.
Quickly struggling to get himself in control inside the pool, he called out in annoyance
“Hey! What was that for!”
“The water is fre-… zing?” he was about to continue shouting when he noticed something strange.
The water wasn’t cold, rather it was lukewarm and seemed to be getting even warmer still.
“Hahahahaha… You should have seen your face,” Ronaldo laughed at him from outside the pool.
“haha… the pool has a heater, we can regulate the temperature when needed,” Ronaldo explained, still laughing at Jason and making him feel like a country bumpkin.
That didn’t stop him from giving Ronaldo the stink eye before relaxing himself inside the water, which was getting warm enough that it was almost like he was receiving a hot stone massage.
“Hahaa haaa… Obviously, there’s no way I’d throw a teammate into a pool of cold water in this weather,” Ronaldo added before taking five steps back like he wanted to take a free kick.
“You know, swimming is also a good form of physical training,” Ronaldo called out to Jason.
“Whatever man, just get in the water,” Jason yelled back at Ronaldo, his reservations at being in a new environment slowly being washed away in the warm, relaxing water.
“Okay!” Ronaldo said and started running at the pool before jumping into the air while shouting,
“CANONBALL!!!”
*SPLASH!!!*
A louder splash than when Jason fell in rocked the water, displacing a large amount of water for a little while before they came crashing back into place.
“Hahahaha,” Jason could not help laughing at Ronaldo who was proving to be more of a clown and fun-loving person than the disciplined and strict person that everyone who hadn’t met him thought him to be.
“How come you’re the only one I’ve seen since earlier, where’s the boss lady and the little yous?” Jason asked, regarding to Ronaldo’s girl and children.
“Oh that, they should be back soon,”
“Junior has to go to football academy after school while Eva, Mateo, and Alana are all with Gio,”
“She should have picked up Junior and they should be on their way back,” Ronaldo murmured, swimming on his back.
“… Unless they stopped to get some ice cream,” he added thoughtfully after a while.
“In this weather?” Jason asked laughingly.
“Y’all are just weird in yo family, but hey, the lion’s spawn can’t be scared of cold,” he laughed and dived back into the water, his full untamed air swimming along behind him.
“I think you mean Zlatan, mine is a normal human family,” Ronaldo responded jeeringly also diving back into the water.
***
Outside the mansion, a convoy consisting of three cars drove into the mansion’s compounds and drove up to the main house’s entrance before stopping.
As the car came to a stop, the door was quickly pulled open and a leg came out first, its length and silky smooth skin betrayed by the slit in the black gown of the owner of the leg.
Georgina Gio stepped out of the car first holding her daughter, Alana followed by Ronaldo Junior stepping out with Mateo and Eva holding his two hands and dragging him along.
“Where’s daddy?” Alana asked her mother, her eyes darting around, looking for a familiar figure.
“He’s inside,” Georgina answered with a smile, wiping off a trace of ice cream from her daughter’s lips.
“Master is inside with a guest… though I guess ‘guest’ isn’t the right word,” the female caretaker that Jason had met when he came earlier informed Georgina as they walked into the house.
“Guest?” Georgina was surprised to hear this as she didn’t know Ronaldo was expecting anyone, but she refrained from asking the caretaker anymore questions about the ‘guest’.
“Where are they right now?” she asked instead.
“They’re in the pool,” the caretaker replied succinctly
“Okay, thank you,” she said in response.
She started walking into the house, heading in the direction of the pool with the children in tow.
It might not be a good idea for the children to meet the guest as they were, but normally they liked to go meet their father first after getting back home and she couldn’t stop them neither did she want to.
As she reached the back of the house, the first thing she saw was Ronaldo in the pool and that was relatively normal so her eyes immediately moved to search for the guest.
The next thing that Georgina’s eyes met was the back view of long, luscious, beautiful and wet, curly black hair and at the thought that the guest could be a woman who was in the swimming pool with her husband, her heart sank into her stomach.
