F1 One Shots II

#38 Charles - Party surprise

BRYNN POV: This year, after the 2023 season ended, all the drivers decided to throw a one huge party, and almost everyone were invited. It's going for a bit already, and by now, most of the people are for sure at least a bit tipsy, if not even more...
Lando decided to DJ, so only "good" music was blasting through the speakers, and Zhou was trying to show-off his bartender-ing skills, with not bad, but also not good outcome. But no one really cared...
Right now, I was sitting in the lounge area with Ava and Kat, when Izzy came to us, almost running in those heels. She sat down right next to me and looked at me in utter disbelieve.
-What?
-You're not gonna do anything about it?!
-About what?- I couldn't understand her.
-Her!- she pointed at a bit more than tipsy Amelie, one of the PR crew of Ferrari, who was visibly trying to flirt with Charles beside the open bar. Seeing that, I just shrugged and looked at her with blank expression on my face:
-What can I do? We're just friends anyway, so he can date or hook up with anybody he possibly wants!
-Yeah, but...?- she wasn't convinced.
-Listen, Iz...
-I would definitely do something- Ava didn't let me finish, looking swiftly at Lando, who was clearly having a blast behind the console with Max and Carlos at his sides.
-I agree with Ava- Kat nodded with sheepish expression.
-I'm in no place to tell Charlie who he can date or not!? If Amelie caught his attention, then he can do whatever the fuck he wants!
-But it's your feelings we're talking about!- Izzy wasn't letting that go easly, reminding me about the crush I'm nursing on my best friend.
-That's not important!
-It is!- the three of them yelled, unhappy with my answer.
-Especially when she's flirting with him and not the other way around!- Kate added.
-Drop it! I don't want to talk about it!
-But you can clearly see how uncomfortable he is! If he really was attracted to her, he'd behave very differently!- she continued, and I had to agree with her. Even when I wanted to say differently...
-And when you're such a good friends, you can go there and save his ass!- Iz said happily, apperently finding the solution.
-I won't do anything about it! He's a big boy, he can solve it himself...!
-What is going on in here?- right that moment Maddie and Kenzie decided to join us. It's really nice to be friends with all of them.. This way, we're never bored during the race weekends...?!
-Amelie from our PR team is flirting with Charles and Brynnie here is refusing to do anything about it!- Izzy said, doing a very exgaverated pout.
-Big stuff...- Maddie exhaled and Kenzie only whistled.
-And where the hell were you two, hm?- I desperatedly wanted to change the topic.
-We'll tell you later, don't try to change the topic now!
-Kenz!- I whined, unhappy, while Izzy grinned, as the rest of the girls laughed at me.
Soon after that I gave up too, and we all were laughing. But it wan't for long, as everyone heard Charles, who lost patience with Amelie aperetly, and it was SO LOUD, that even the music wasn't able to cover it:
-I told you already that I have someone else! For fucks sake!- everyone shut up and watched the scene unfold.. 
-Well... I not really see her by your side right now, so...- Amelie looked unfazed and once again tried to wrap her hands around his neck. Charles reacted as if it burned him and took them from himself swiftly.
-You don't need to. Just leave me the fuck alone!- because of the already consumed alcohol, his French accent was even more hear-able than normally.
-But Charlie..! Why so angry?- at least half of the party chuckled at her words, or even laughed. I, on the other hand, froze, what made both Izzy and Kat smirk. Normally I would at least roll my eyes at them, but right there, my whole attention was on Charles and Amelie and how it'll end...
All the while Charlie just crossed his arms on his chest and shot her a glare.
-Will he do something, or not?!- Yuki thought out loud, and got a slap to the head from Pierre, who just shock his head in disappointment. Even he wanted to know how it all will end...
-Why face like that? We're having SO MUCH fun!- Amelie wasn't giving up that easly.
-Fun it will be when you'd go away!
-Stop it Charlie! You should relax and have fun, enjoing the party, and not gloat as if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed! Come on! Smile!- she said sweetly, trying to step closer.
-Why am I even talking with you?!- Charles grumbled, shaking his head. He said it not really loud, but Lando quietened the music when the scene unfolded, so he was being heard anyway.
-You really won't go there and help him, won't you?
-If you're so eager, do it yourself!- I hissed at Izzy, even though I knew she's right.
But before I said or did anything else, when nobody expected it, Charles just left Amelie alone and quickly made his way through the people. He didn't leave the balcony tho, but came to us, and simply bowed down that much, to kiss me, ignoring my shocked face. Nobody said anything about it, while I froze at first, before returning the sweet kiss.
Max, Pierre, Carlos and Lando were first to react, as they started to whistle and clap. It was what returned me to my sences, as I pulled back a little, meeting his eyes.
-We need to talk...
-Agreed- he nodded, when others followed the boys, making even bigger chaos. Not saying anything Charles helped me stand up, and then we entered the building, as I dragged him a bit after me by his hand, hearing how Pierre shouted something like "That's my best friend!" or something, being really drunk. We just ignored them, as my heart was beating like crazy inside my chest.

....
-Why did you do that?!- I asked Charles, spining on my heel to face him, when we got away from the party enough, to talk normally and not yell through the music, once again blasting through the speakers -If you wanted Amelie to fuck off you could just join the guys, why kissing me?- I was really confused, trying not to be hopefull.
-Because she made me realise something... Finally see what I'm missing, and how differently this party could look for both of us, only if I wasn't a huge chicken...
-What do you mean..?!- I really couldn't help but be hopefull. Did he really mean..?
-Je t'aime Brynn... Tellement...- he said, and hung his head down -Only if you will have me...
Ignoring the shock which descendent upon me, I just smiled widely and pulled him to myself.
-Je t'aime aussi, vous poulet!- I giggled softly and then kissed him, feeling how he wrapped his strong arms around me.
We kissed for some time, and then pulled back, panting, desperate for air, but happy.
-The best end of the season party I went to..
-Me too- my comment made us laugh. It was the best party indeed...
THE END

Turns out, even normal party can have surprising outcome?!
And now Charles and Brynn are happy...
Have a nice day! / Goodnight!
