Neighbours, Friends, Lovers

11. "Here you are."

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ Charles Pov ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

I could feel my heart beat in every corner of my body when I crossed the line.
The adrenaline kicked in and when Xavier with his usual calm voice said "and P1!" I could hear his excitement.
In that moment I screamed feeling the satisfaction running through my whole body.
I pressed the button to open the team radio letting out another scream saying "Yes!" thanking the team and hyping them for tomorrow.

I parked my car and then enjoyed the first pole position with my team and my friends that were waiting for me.

We had dinner and I like always had to be the one that could exaggerate with the food but now isn't a pain anymore since my body is now trained to the quantity and healthiness of the food that I get to eat.
But I confess that sometimes I have cravings too like a pregnant lady.

After dinner my friends walk themselves to the hotel while I walk towards my motorhome to pick up some stuff that Andrea told me he forgot there.

꧁ Charlotte's Pov ꧂

I never felt this anxious in my life.
I'm waiting, sit on the stairs of his motorhome anxious that someone that doesn't know me kicks me out thinking that I'm a weird stalker fan waiting for him even if I have a pass around my neck.

I look at the sky painting in a deep blue while the minutes are running and my anxiety starts to vanish.
When I almost got used to the ambient and almost feeling like at home my whole body sinks when I get to see him.
I don't know why I'm reacting like this since I'm really used to his company.
I wait for him to place his blue/green eyes on me and see his reaction while my heart is hammering in my chest.

Once his pulls away his gaze from his phone he meets my eyes and his face go pale.
I guess the surprise is successful.
"Charlotte?" he asks almost like he can't keep his mouth closed.
At the sound of his voice my stomach flips.
I stand up sliding my palms over my jeans.
"W-What are you doing here?!" he asks now two steps away from me since he speeded up when he saw me.
I step down from the stair I was sitter on and I have no time to replay that my body is wrapped by his strong and familiar arms.
His scent invades my senses and my nerves seems to calm down.

He is clearly happy to see me and this brings so much excitement in me.
His body is still pressed to mine and his arms are still holding me firmly.
I find the courage to hug him back wrapping my arms around his torso and feel the warmth of his body.

My mind warns me about the public area we're standing in and how many photographers are possibly walking around here but I don't listen at it and enjoy this moment of tenderness between us. I really missed him during these days and it was so hard for me to be cold and try to have less contact with him but then I thought about my sisters words and she's 100 per cent right.
I'll not preclude a friendship or whatever because I'm scared of the people thoughts, for once I'll enjoy and don't care about other's opinions.

My thoughts are getting interrupted by him stepping back from the hug and looking at me.
I tilt my face a little bit to look at his face and Jesus Crist, it took me just few days to forget how beautifully hands he looks from like 3 inches away.
His hair are bit messy, I guess because he was wearing the usual cap during the interviews, his long eyelashes are framing his blue greenish eyes, his perfect nose, his well designed lips of a pink colour that you can't describe.
He has a little hint of beard that I can't lie it looks good on him and last but not least his dimples are showing off since his smiling still a bit shocked.
"I thought that I couldn't be the only one to miss your first race of the year so... here I am." I say while a bit of embarrassment is tinting my checks.

"Here you're." he says almost in a whisper still smiling and still with his hands places softly on the sides of my hips.
His eyes continues to roam all over my face like he's trying to figure out if I'm real or just his imagination, while my body hears wherever his eyes go and I feel so betrayed by my body and the way it acts when he's around.
"When you got here?" he asks now realising the time.
"In Bahrain? Like 30 minutes ago, Andrea came to pick me up and my suitcase is in your car." I say laughing think about the way we rushed to make this surprise work.
"Incredible. I'm so happy you came." he says sliding his callous hand on my arm leaving behind a trail of heat.

I keep staring at his eyes even if he looks so good in his Ferrari clothes his eyes are something sensational, they seems to be a open book to me and I can see his honesty. He is really happy to see me here and I'm happy that I listened my sisters advices.

"I guess you're starving." he says  stepping back cancelling any type of touch.
"You guess right." I say giggling.
"Alright let's go." he says walking me to the exit of the paddock.

For the whole car ride he talks about the weekend, the qualifying and about tomorrow's race.
I get so excited hearing him talking about all this stuff with so much passion.
While  I can feel his sneaky stares while I'm talking that's sometimes make me completely forget about what I was talking about mid sentence and this feelings and reactions are scaring me a lot.
I should not feel like this or have these reactions but I can't control them and I'll not.
I'm trying to listen at my new internal me.
Let it be, live a little do not control everything just feel and live.
