Charlotte's Pov

Charles really got a nice house with a
breathtaking view.
I look at the roundabout that is less trafficated than in the daytime and then look at the cars crossing grid of F1 start.

Life it's crazy huh?
Like, look at him, he's driving his dream car, he's in a top team and now he's accomplishing many of his goals.
This house feels more like a dream than a goal to me.
Just getting to see this part of Monaco is so mesmerising.

I smile still thinking about Charles reaction to my present.
He seemed almost shocked about the fact that I remembered but it's kinda hard forget about a guy that likes scents and candles because they are even my obsession.

"You finally got out huh?" Charles voice literally makes me jump in the air.
He takes place right next to me standing on the edge of the balcony.
Right after few seconds I can smell his scent.
He smells fantastic, like soap and expensive cologne.

I turn around and I finds his pretty blue eyes on me and a soft smile on his lips.
I give him a look. He looks so good even if as I saw on the internet his clothing style is so criticised by his fans.
He looks so cozy with his white hoodie, bandana around his head taking his hair up and black sweatpants.

He seem so happy and just the thought that I'm here with him in his own house makes me realise how much we all grown up.

"Couldn't hide any longer." I say showing him a brief smile and look at his amused look in his eyes.
I can see how tired he is just by looking at his face. He is training so hard and he's in a really good shape for this season.
He's not too big, not bulky he's sleek and leanly muscular.
"I couldn't let you leave before wishing you good luck for the start of the season." I confess and I see him rise his eyebrows for a second and then relax them and smile.
"Thanks. I have really high hopes." he says and I can the excitement on his voice.

"We all are cheering for you." I say and I look at my right, his all snuggled on his big and heavy hoodie and he slowly turns in my way letting me admire his eyes that are always so mesmerising.

"Missed have you around." he says and my heart does a painful l somersault when I get to hear the frank tone in his voice.
"I missed being around but I needed some me time you know?" I say biting the inside of my cheek now getting a bit vulnerable and I hate the feeling of it.
"Yeah, I get that." he says with a tight smile and right after his jaw hardens.
I can feel the pain and not healed bruise show up right on the middle of his chest.

"I got to know that you broke up with G." I say trying to be the most delicate possible.
He keeps looking at the sunset right ahead of us and while he's admaeing the sun playing hide and seek I get to see his well designed profile.
"I'm so sorry." I continue I say clearing my throat feeling so awkwardly strange.
"Don't be sorry." he say and he turns catching me staring at him.
