i need to know what happened in Barcelona!!

mmmhm...
really?

YES!!
you went out with a group of hotties
and all of them seem to be into you
so i NEED to know what happened

but you can't tell a word to Carlos, okay?

my lips are sealed
i promise

soooo...
we went out for dinner and we had unlimited wine

that's a recipe for disaster

ik, believe me
well, after dinner we went out to a club and the guys started ordering shots

oh god 

and I started dancing with them
without any kind of intention, I just wanted to have fun
yk, after Adrian I want to be by myself for a while

he was such an asshole

and all of sudden I was alone with Mick

SCHUMACHER!?!

yeah
anyway, before I can notice it he's kissing me and I'm kissing him back
and then he proposed going back to his hotel

did you go??

yeah, but I fell asleep on the taxi so he took me to my apartment instead

wow
have you talked with him?

kinda, he said he had a great time and I said I was sorry for falling asleep
but I don't feel much sorry about it really

but he's a cutie :(

ikkk, but he's blond
and kinda reminds me of Adrian

ouch, poor mick

it was fun, but definitely won't repeat it

and what about Pierre?
he seems kinda into you

well... he was after me in Barcelona but I somehow ended  with mick
idk how it happened

and what does Carlos think?

he hasn't noticed much about it
you know how he's always the last one to notice these kind of things

trueee
but still
i'm not sure he will like it

i know
i think the only one he would approve is Lando
that would give them an excuse to spend even more time together

period
anyway keep me posted about how things go :))

ofc!! 
love u babe
see you next week

yayy!

"Good morning sleeping beauty," Carlos wakes me up by entering my room and opening the blinds. "Looks like someone had too much fun last night."

"Go away!" I manage to moan while coveting my face with one of the pillows. "I need like ten more hours of sleep and a new liver." 

"I think you could really use what I brought you." I feel a weight on the end of my bed and when I take a look I see Carlos offering me a tray.

"You're the best," I mumble while sitting up as my eyes get used to the sunlight.

I take the tray from Carlos' hands, in it there's a huge water bottle along with some pills, a sandwich, and some muffins. I take the bottle first, taking a few sips from it to swallow the pills and then I take the sandwich and devour it. 

"Are you okay? The clothes you left in the bathroom smell a little bit like puke." 

"I honestly don't remember," I sigh before taking one of the muffins and peeling it off, but I end up leaving it on the tray again as my stomach grumbles. "I think I drank too much."

"Yeah, me too. I'm a little worried, I think you've been drinking too much lately."

"Don't be. I've been sad because of the breakup, but everything it's fine. I'm fine."

"You sure?" I nod, hoping he will believe me and hoping he won't tell our parents about this. "I'm trusting you, but if it happens ever again I'll be truly worried." 

"It won't, I promise." I offer him my pinkie and he chuckles before interlacing his. 

"Did you have fun at least?"

"Yeah, the part of the night I can remember was pretty fun." 

"Dear Lord, Luna," Carlos rolls his eyes and gets up from the bed. "I don't know if I want to know about it. I'm going to prepare something for lunch, what do you think of some homemade soup?"

"You're the best brother to ever exist." I smile as I wrap myself around myself before following him to the kitchen.

Author's note:

I decided to add a little bit of text that even though it doesn't add much to the story I think it's quite cute. Plus, I feel like it completes the chapter a little bit because the text messages didn't feel enough. 

Also,  the dialogue is in italics because they're speaking in Spanish and I thought that it could be a nice way to differentiate when they are speaking in Spanish or in English. I think that if I add more snippets to other chapters I'll keep it like this instead of them throwing random Spanish words into the dialogue because it's not natural. And I'm also thinking to expand it to other languages and drivers, so for example, if Pierre or Charles talk in French their dialogue will be in italics and so on. I hope it's not confusing, and if it is please let me know in the comments and I'll think another way of doing it. 

Hope you enjoyed the book so far!!
