#21 Charles - Uni

BRYNN POV: It's been almost a year since me and Charles confessed our feelings to one another. Since then everything seems to be just perfect. But we're only around a month together officially, as we announced the news to the media on last race before the summer break. Then, we went on long vacation to Italy and visited Pierre and Kat in Rouen. It was very nice, cuz' we're very close friends...
But know we sadly have to get back to reality, as I start Uni again... For first couple of weeks I'll need to be 100% time in school, but then I'll transform to remote studying again, and would be able to accompany Charles to the races...
Today I have my first day, so I'm a little nervous. Such a long time passed since I was here last...
Charles unfortunately couldn't drive me off, because some meeting, but promised to wait for me at home, when I end the day....
I parked the car, switched off the engine and hoped out, to lock it and enter the building with tingles of nerves shooting through my body. I held my bag tightly and looked around. Nothing changed since my last "visit" and I counted it as a good thing. If I remember the plan of the campus correctly, I won't get lost... If...
I exhaled loudly and reminded myself of what Charles told me yesterday evening:
-"Don't need to be nervous! You know this place and most of the teachers, everything will be just fine! You need to believe in yourself! Besides, if you need anything, just call me or sent a text!"
-Let's hope you're right Charlie...!- I mumbled to myself, and then made my way to the first class, with hope I'll meet my friends...
I was walking through the hallways, when I heard constant whispers around me, and saw people pointing in my direction. Luckily I saw Kat not further away, and sprinted to her.
-Hey!
-Hey B!- she looked happy and gave me a hug.
-Do you know why all those people are pointing at me?- I asked her with frown.
-You should know better!
-Kat! I'm not in the mood for jokes and riddles!- I whined, as my stress level increased.
-Fine!- she giggled and added -What you did before summer break?- she gave me a hint.
-Nothing!- I automatically responded, but then the truth soaked in... -You think...?
-I don't think! I know Brynn! All of those people are talking about you dating Charles!
-Oh crap! I forgot!- I facepalmed and look at her defeated -They won't stop, won't they?!
-I don't think so!- she giggled, so I poked her side. But I giggled shortly after, as I couldnt suppress the giggle. It was good to have her around... With her, the day will go by like a flash...

...
Before we knew it, it was time for the first lecture of the day. During first 3 we're trying to listen, switching back and forth small letters, not to grow attention around us and still be able to talk. Then, it was going downhill...
We had two more lectures to attend, when one barbie girl from our class came to us.
-Hey Brynnie!- she squealed, faking the happiness on her face.
-Hey Paula.. What's up?- I asked her, not interested at all, and not even trying to hide it.
-Why there needs to be always something?! Can't I just come and say hi to my bestie?
-You're not my bestie. What do you want Paula?!- every passing second I grew more and more annoyed with her. Past years she was always mean to us, and we bickered every single day, and now, out of the blue, she wants to be friends...
-Don't be so cruel B! I just wanted to talk to you!
-It's about my boyfriend, isn't it?
-What?! No! What are you talking about??
-Don't lie Paula! You won't fool us!- Kat joined me, also annoyed by her behavior -It's obvious that it's about Charles!
-Fine! I just wanted to know how you got him?!
-We're friends for years, and... I'm not going to tell you that! It's not your business!- I spat at her, angrily.
-You're right! Watch out, because you never know when you're going to loose him!- she treathened me and then left.
-What was that?- I looked at Kat, confused.
-I have no fucking idea...!- she sighed and then added -Come on! We need to attend next class!
And as she said, we strolled through the hallways, to get there.

FEW HOURS LATER
When we ended all lectures of the day, it was time to get home. The day was pretty tiring, as I was on constant watch from other students, but I managed.
At the parking lot, I spotted familiar gray Ferrari immediately, so I couldn't suppress wide grin.
-Your Prince in shining armour came!- Kat giggled, pointing in his direction.
-Stop it!- I nudged her shoulder and giggled myself, very happy.
-OK, ok!- she laughed, waved at Charles and then went to her car -See ya tomorrow!
-Bye!- I waved at her and then went to meet Charles. But as I walked, I couldn't find my car anywhere!
-Hey Love!
-Hey Charlie- we greeted each other with warm hug. We're official, but it doesn't mean that we have to kiss in every opportunity...
-How was your day?
-Could be better. Yours? How was the meeting?
-All fine. Shall we?- he said and pointed at the car behind him.
-But I drove here with mine?! And now I can't find it anywhere?!- I was really confused.
-It's at home. I had plenty of time to get it, drive back home and come back- he said with wide smile on his face -So?
-In that case... I can't say no!- I agreed and we hoped in the car. Now, behind dark glass covering windows, we leaned in and kiss each other sweetly. 'Ahhhh I missed it!'- I thought contently, happily.
-Soooo?
-So what?- I couldn't suppress light giggle.
-How was your day? Too much homework?
-Not really thanfully. But I must admit that...
-What?- he asked, visibly curious.
-Don't interupt me, will you!- I spat and we both share laugh -I feel like a celebrity when returning to uni after we had announced our relationship, if I'm being honest...- I said and looked at him warmly. My gaze met his sparkling one for a breef moment, and I could clearly see the love and adoration in them. Charles didn't reply, he just lifted our joined hands to his lips and pressed kiss to my palm.
-I love you...- I told him and squezzed our joined hands for few seconds.
-I love you too Ma cherie!- he replied and then we immersed ourselves in nice conversation for the rest of the ride home through a little busy streets of Monaco. It wasn't the evening yet, but I could easly say that I can call this day a success... And I'm very happy about it...
THE END

Another happy moment for Brynn and Charles!
