Charles Leclerc - This Love

0.09 Cry For Me

Isla lay cuddled up to Max, listening to his heart beating. This must be what love felt like. The snow fell delicately outside before linking with the rest and built up. The fire blazed inside, emitting heat into the room. Max layed with a strand of her hair and smiled. "I love you, you know that right?" he asked. Isla looked up and nodded. "You have mentioned it a few times now." Max chuckled and planted kiss onto her forehead. "I'm always going to love you. Always." Isla felt her heart flutter at his words. "Knowing you, I don't know how I'll ever let you go."
"You promise?"
"I promise."

Definitely...

Isla ran over the memory again in her mind. Another promise he broke. She was sat with Max and Kelly at dinner. They seemed so happy just looking at each other. Didn't he say he wouldn't get over her in his lifetime? Nope. Over her in two weeks. This whole perfect picture lifestyle all came thanks to Isla. She practically made that man. She had this envious thought implanted within her head that made her lose sleep. Maybe whatever she wwaas thinking was all wrong. Maax wasn't her's anymore. She had to accept that but she couldn't. No matter how much she said she was happy for them, she wasn't. It didn't sit right with her.

"So Isla, have you started the album?" Kelly smiled. Isla snapped out of her thoughts hearing Kelly's voice. "Yeah. I have started actually. I'm not recording yet but hopefully I can soon." Max sipped his beer and looked Isla up and down. Isla furrowed her eyebrows at him. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Kelly said excusing herself before getting up and walking away. Once Kelly was out of sight, Isla turned to Max. "What do you think you're playing at?" she snapped. "I don't know what you're talking about." Max smirked. "Yes you do! Why are you looking at me like that?" Max swallowed the lump in his throat. "Nothing you just look good, that's all." Isla scoffed. "So now that I've actually had the baby and don't have a huge baby bump, you think I look good. Typical."

"I'm just giving you a compliment. If you don't want to take it, that's fine." Max looked away and out onto the sea. Isla didn't want his compliment. He was with Kelly now, she couldn't. "Thanks but you have a girlfriend now and I might be seeing someone." Max snapped his head back around to her. Did he hear her correctly? "Who?" he asked in a demanding tone. "I'm not telling you because it's none of your business. That's what you told me when I asked about who you were dating so guess what? Karma." Max clenched his jaw and nodded. "Fair enough. You go whatever you want. I don't care." Isla laughed. "You clearly do." her phone buzzed so you picked it up and saw Charles contact light up the screen. She smiled and turned her attention back to Max. "but I simply don't have time to talk about it because now, he wants to see me so I'll be seeing you later and tell Kelly I said thanks."

Isla walked away from the table with her head held high smiling. Her phone buzzed again with another message from Charles. "peekaboo, I see you👀" followed by a picture of her walking out of the restaurant. She chuckled and looked down in the direction of where the video was taken to see Charles on the bonnet of his ferrari smiling. "There's my stalker." she joked walking up to him. Charles laughed at her joke and hopped off the bonnet. "Shall we get away from here then?" he asked dopening up the door for her. "Of course. Where do you have in mind?"
