That night in Monaco

Chapter 6

"She started to like him more and more."

Two hours had passed since I returned to the hotel. In about 30' I would have to get ready for my date with Charles. Tonight I would give him the ring as well. I hoped he would like it.

However now I had to pack my bags because I was leaving tomorrow. The truth was I didn't want to return back to Greece as I didn't have anything to do. Suddenly an idea came to my mind. I would stay here for the week and I would return next Sunday. In this way I would be able to explore the whole Monaco and maybe see Charles again which I thought was impossible.

A couple of minutes later I started getting ready. I took a shower, washed my face and brushed my teeth and hair. Regarding my outfit, I chose a mini black skirt and a white shirt. Therefore, I decided to wear my nude high heels because I didn't want my outfit to be too much. I applied the usual amount of makeup and put my hair up in a ponytail.

It was 9:25 when I decided to go to the reception in order to wait for Charles. I was sitting in the most comfortable chair when I saw Charles getting into the hotel. He was wearing a quite sexi black tuxedo and he was holding his Ferrari car keys. For a second I thought I stopped breathing. He was so attractive I almost started drooling. He kept walking until he spotted me and turned to my direction. I got up from my seat and greeted him.

"Hi Charles! How are you?". "Hey Anna. I am perfect, thanks for asking. How are you though?" "Oh I am fine. Shall we move to the bar?" I said. "Yes definitely. This way darling!". Did he just call me darling? His words had such an effect on me that my cheeks turned to the brightest shade of red. "I love you tuxedo by the way." "I appreciate it Anna".

We ended up sitting at a quite high table but I didn't bother. The atmosphere of the bar was relaxing especially with the calmly red lighting. It made Charles seem like a God. We ordered our drinks. Charles got a glass of whiskey and got a glass of red wine. We talked a lot and we realised that we were a great company to each other. Most of the time he made me laugh and I was starting to like him more and more. I told him about my life in Greece and I learnt about his family and his life as a F1 driver.

Now it was time to give him the ring. I was very anxious to be honest but I had to do it. "Hey Charles, I...I wanted to give you this. It is a small gift for you win today." he took the bag, and opened the leather box. He gasped the moment he saw the ring. "Anna that's amazing. I love it, thank you so much. But you didn't have to." "I wanted to Charles" I said.

It was midnight when we stopped drinking. We had probably 4 glasses of our drinks and we were feeling a little dizzy. "Oh my God how am I supposed to drive in this situation?" he asked. I wasn't going to let him drive like this. He would be getting himself killed. And just like that the question slipped through my mouth. "Would you like to stay with me? You can't drive like this Charles?". "Actually Anna I would love to stay with you. I am sorry if this is too much for you but I can't keep my eyes open" "Let's go then. But I need to inform you that there is only one bed" "If it's ok with you then I have no problem" he said. Oh my God I was going to sleep with Charles Leclerc in the same bed. I am going to die. "You are an angel Charles" I said before I could stop myself.

We got to my room, I took my pajamas and went to the bathroom in order to change my clothes and also to give Charles his privacy. After 5' minutes I returned to the bedroom and saw Leclerc on the bed shirtless wearing only his trousers. It took me a moment to breathe again and move to the other side of the bed without admiring his nice looking body. And those abs, ah I wanted to touch them so bad.

When I finally got myself together Charles spoke, "I know what you are probably thinking right now and I am sorry but it is too hot in here to sleep with my shirt on." "It's no problem Charles. We should probably get some sleep because we drank a lot" "Yes you are right. Goodnight Anna" "Goodnight Charles" I said and turned off the light. After a minute I was asleep dreaming about my date with Leclerc.

"It was probably one of the best days in his life."
