It's the next day and I wake up in my hotel room. I grab my phone and see a few unknown numbers. Shoot I forgot to put names with the numbers, I'm so incredibly stupid. Luckily Charles already texted me.
Charles
Hey, I hope you arrived in your room safe. If you read this before you fall asleep goodnight, if you read this the next morning good morning, did you sleep well? X Charles
I
Heyy, Charles. Thanks for texting, I slept great how about you? Last night was a lot of fun!
Charles
I slept great, thanks for asking. Yes, last night was amazing!
I
Shit, I'm late for my shootings I got to go, talk to you later?
Charles
Yes, of course!
I jump out of bed and text all the unknown numbers the same text: Heyy, I forgot to put names with the numbers you gave me so could you please tell me who is who? X Rose, I throw on some shorts and a cropped top and put my hair in a bun, I call an uber and arrive 10 minutes later I run on the set and see Lizzie looking at me. "Slept in." I say while running past her. She laughs and starts memorizing her script again. I get my hair and make-up done and put my costume on, we film for a few hours and I'm in an uber to the grid around 3 pm. I scan my paddock pass and some people start filming, I walk past a crowd when I hear some fans call my name. I turn towards them and they ask for autographs and pictures. "You know, this is a formula 1 race right? You should want pictures with the drivers." I say with a little smile. "We love you too Rose, everyone loves you!" a fan says, "I love you too." I say and laugh. I return on my way to the Mclaren pit. When I arrive I see Daniel he smiles at me. "You made it!" he says while hugging me. "Of course, I couldn't miss this." he smiles and gets called away. When the qualifying starts, I sit down and hope for the best.
Daniel ends up in 14th place, and Carlos is 1st I'm proud of both of them. I walk outside to see if I can find Charles. I walk towards his pit and see him analyzing some things. I didn't want to disturb him and turn around to grab a coffee. I sit outside enjoying the sun now that is stopped raining for half an hour when I see Charles in the Mclaren pit. Someone points at me and he walks toward me. "Hey." he says while he sits down next to me. "Hey." I say while looking at him. "How was the shooting?" he asks. "It was great, we did a lot because everybody knew their script well." I say after taking a sip of my coffee. "That's good." he says. "How was the track? 3rd right?" I ask to keep the conversation going. "Yeah, rain is always difficult but I think I did what I could." I smile at him and nod. "Yeah, I understand." I say while the sun disappears behind some clouds, I look up and sigh. "Great, now it's cold again." I say as I stand up. Charles laughs and we both walk inside the Ferrari pit. I see Carlos and wish him his congratulations. I also have a nice chat with Mattia Binotto.
It's getting late and Charles takes me to my hotel room. He wishes me goodnight and walks back to his car I wait until he left before I walk up to my room. Yes, Charles is a nice guy, he's a gentleman. He offered to bring me back, I wanted to go with an uber but he insisted that an uber was too dangerous at this hour. I change into my pajamas and do my night routine. I watch an episode of my favorite series and when that's finished I go to bed. I'd just laid down when my phone starts ringing. Charles's name lights up and I accept the call. "Hey." I say. "Rose, oh god I'm sorry if I woke you, I- I need your help. Can I come over?" he asks with a shaking voice. "Yes, of course, you can come over, I'm in room number 16." I say with a worried voice. "I'll be there soon." he says before he hangs up.
10 minutes later there's a knock on my door and I open it. I see Charles standing there with a bruised face and a pretty knocked-up hand. "Charles, omg what happened?" I say while letting him in. "It's nothing." he says, I look at him with raised eyebrows. "Charles, this is not nothing." I say while grabbing some rubbing alcohol. "I got into a fight that's all." he says, I nod knowing if he wanted me to know more he would say more. I take some cotton swabs and start cleaning his wounds. He sisses in pain but I keep going until all his wounds are clean. "I got into a fight with the guy Charlotte was out with." he says and I look up. "She was cheating on you?!" I ask in disbelief. "Yeah, I walked past and saw her kissing him, I confronted her and the guy started punching me." he says while letting out a sigh. "Stupid ass guy, I'm going to fucking kill him the next time he lays hands on you." I say while putting the rubbing alcohol away. He looks at me and smiles.
"What? I know how to fight, I learned that for my movies." I say and his smile grows. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure, you will kick his ass." I laugh and wrap his hand up. "You know, it's not smart to get your hands knocked up when you need to drive this weekend." I say and he looks at me. "Oh shit, I didn't even think about that, what am I gonna tell Mattia he's gonna be so mad." he says while looking worried. "Just tell him what happened I'm sure he will understand." I say and he nods. "Thanks for helping, I appreciate it." he says while standing up. "You're welcome." I say, he smiles at me and kisses me on my cheek before he walks out. My face turns red and I turn around to see him leave in his Alfa Romeo. I fall on my bed and fall asleep quickly.
The next morning is not very interesting, I texted Charles about his hands, and he told me there already feeling a lot better. I decided to go to the grid earlier, so I changed into some jeans and a beige shirt. I clipped my hair up and grabbed my sunglasses and my phone. I walk to the track for my hot girl walk for my stupid mental health. I arrive 50 minutes later and see Charles talking to Mattia. Charles looks up and points at me. I hear him say "She cleaned my wounds, that's why I'm able to drive today." Mattia looks at me and smiles. "Thanks, Rose." Mattia says, "Your welcome." I say with a smile and Mattia leaves to give Carlos a pep talk. Charles walks up to me and hugs me. "He took it okay I suppose?" I say while sitting down in his room. "Yeah, he took it well, you were right." he says. "I'm almost always right." I say and he laughs. I see a younger guy walking toward us and Charles stands up. "Hey, Arthur! Meet Rose." he says while hugging his brother. "Hey, nice to meet you, I heard you helped my brother with his hands, thank you for that." Arthur says while smiling at me. "Nice to meet you too, it was the least I could do." I say while returning the smile.
Arthur is racing and Charles is watching it while also analyzing some data. "If he's not gonna win I don't know what he's doing." I say while carefully watching his every move. Arthur is driving his last lap while we both run outside to stand behind the fence. When Arthur stops his car before the 1st sign he runs up to Charles to hug him, he even hugs me before he runs towards his team.
Some hours later it is Charles's turn and I wish him luck, I visit Daniel and also wish him luck. "It's lights out and away we go!" the race starts and to my fear Zhou has a terrible crash, they red flag immediately and everyone comes back to the pit. I'm still speechless about what happened when I feel a hand on my shoulder. "You okay?" Daniel says as he grabs his headphones. "Kinda." I say and he smiles at me, he walks back to his team when Charles walks toward me. "What happened?" he asks as he didn't see. "Zhou got hit and went upside down into the gravel box, then flew over the tire stack and got stuck between the fence and the tire stack." I say. He looks terrified and I give him a he-will-be-okay look. After some time we have the camera footage, I watch it once and can't handle the cruel view. About 40 minutes later they clear the track and start again.
2 hours later Carlos is the happy winner of Silverstone, I'm so proud of him finally he got his first win! Charles is 4th and Daniel is 13th. After a long day, I check Charles's hand and leave with Pierre who is so kind to bring me back to my room. I don't feel like sleeping and watch a few episodes of my favorite series.
Wait I don't think I have shared my thoughts with you, let's do that, shall we? I hear you thinking, you and Charles? No, he's kind and all, yes he's my type but I could never date him, I think. I mean he's a friend of my brother that's weird, right? Maybe it isn't. Well, who cares? I was absolutely terrified for Zhou but I'm so happy he's okay and talking, same for Albon. Well, it's getting late darlings I'm going to bed, goodnight!
