The encounter of a lifetime - Charles Lerclerc

Chapter 3

I woke up early in the morning, very very happy. I decide to go shower and start getting ready while waiting for Chloe to wake up to go to breakfast at the hotel. I opt for ripped jeans shorts with a little black top, and for my makeup I go for a few things that are quite natural. Chloe wakes up and gets ready and we go eat before going to town to visit the princely palace of Monaco. The tour lasted a few hours, after which we went to a terrace for a drink before heading back to the hotel to get ready for the evening on the boat. I pick up my phone to check tonight's weather, and see an Instagram notification that catches my eye.

@charles_leclerc started following you.

I show my phone to Chloe and burst out with joy. I realize that in addition to following my account, he liked two of my photos, which means he looked at my account.

Chloé: I'm telling you, he has a crush on you. Otherwise why would he invites you to a party on a boat and he would follow you on insta?
Emma: Stop giving me false hope, maybe it has nothing to do with it. Maybe it came across my account by chance.
Chloé: I don't believe it but if you say so.

We finish our drinks and quickly return to the hotel to get ready. While we're doing makeup, I mention the little information that I forgot to tell her that Charles had told me, that there would be a surprise for her.

Chloe: A surprise? For me? But what could it be?
Emma: I don't know he didn't tell me anything more. But don't get too many false hopes to imagine something crazy. I don't know what it is at all.
Chloe: Mh, I can't wait to see what it is.

We leave to join Leo who is waiting for us in front of our hotel, it almost becomes a habit. We take a taxi and arrive at the port. We pass through lots of boats, each more luxurious than the other. We finally arrive in front of our boat, which is not a boat but a huge yacht. I look at Chloe who is as shocked and impressed as me. People may think that the Swiss are all rich, but that's not the case and neither of us had ever been on a yacht. Leo walks past to board and we follow him. The yacht is huge and extremely luxurious from the inside. There is even a jacuzzi on the boat. With Chloé we follow Léo who enters the closed part of the boat to reach a sort of living room where a dozen people are already seated. We greet everyone and sit down. I also notice that there are three girls we don't know who are there, one of whom is just staring at Charles. She seems to be very interested in him.

We leave the port to get away a bit and enjoy the water a bit before it gets too cold. We have fun diving from the boat into the water, and swimming in the middle of nowhere. It is a dream setting. After a short hour of swimming, we all get back on the boat and eat, before all sitting on the outdoor sofas to play the famous evening drinking games. I have a feeling it's going to end badly, as always.

We start by playing a "Never have I ever", in which I learn that Charles is a rather serious boy with girls despite the charming attitude he can have. He hasn't had many relationships or fliers, and that's been fine. After a little while of playing this game, someone offers to change and play "truth or dare". The game starts with nice questions, then escalates in intensity. Charles's turn arrives, one of the girls asks him if he wants a dare or a truth. It obviously takes a dare.

*Girl*: Kiss the prettiest girl in the room.

Great, I find myself there watching Charles go and kiss one of the other girl, I'm really delighted. I knew those games were a mistake and I said to myself when I arrived that I had a bad feeling with them.

Charles gets up and walks in the opposite direction of the girls. He comes in front of me and places his hand on my cheek before placing a kiss on my lips. I can't realize at the moment what just happened. Charles Leclerc thinks I'm the most beautiful girl in the room, and above all I kissed him! I'm never going to get over it.

Since it was Charles who performed an action last, it's up to him to ask someone a question and he chooses me.

Charles: Truth or dare?
Emma: Dare.
Charles: I return the same action to you, kiss the prettiest guy.

I blushed like a tomato before getting up and going in his direction to kiss him again. Even if it's just little kisses and nothing incredible, for me it's huge.

The evening passes more and more quickly. As soon as we stop the games, the group is separated. Some went into the jacuzzi, others stayed in it and still others bathed in the sea. With Chloe we were just sitting on the sofas outside talking. But suddenly Charles came out and sat down next to us.

Charles: Chloe, did Emma tell you that I had a little surprise for you?
Chloé: Yes she told me.
Charles: Look.

Charles hands her his phone, and she sees a video of Lando Norris, the Mclaren pilot telling her that he's glad she's supporting him and that he would have liked to come tonight but he couldn't but that if the opportunity presented he would be happy to meet her.

Chloe: Woow Charles thank you I don't know how to thank you, that's too kind. It really touches me that you contacted him for me.
Charles: No worries, plus it really made him happy to make the video for you. He really is a nice guy.
Chloe: Yes he's the best.
Charles: He's nice after the best I'm not sure. He still has a lot of competition with me.
Emma: And again you take the big head. You have to come down to earth sir.

I barely have time to finish my sentence when Charles comes to take me to carry me like a potato bag on his shoulder. He heads near the sea and throws me in.

Charles: That's what you deserve for being mean to me.

The water is so hot that finally I'm in it and stay a little. So I suddenly see a big bomb coming on me which is none other than Charles who has decided to join me. He swims a bit before coming near me.

Emma: The water is super hot.
Charles: Yes it's really nice.
Emma: Ah and by the way thank you for inviting us on this beautiful boat. It's really amazing, I will never forget this evening.
Charles: It makes me happy if you're happy. *He gives me a little smirk* And by the way, do you really think I'm the most handsome guy in here?
Emma: Yes unfortunately there wasn't a lot of choice so I had to choose you out of spite.

He throws water in my face at the end of my sentence.

Emma: And you too, so you think I'm the prettiest girl?
Charles: Yes, you are beautiful Emma.

I blushed as I had never blushed in my life. Charles steps closer to me and runs his hand over my cheek looking me in the eyes with his beautiful blue-green eyes.

We then go back quietly on the boat, and return to the port. Before leaving Chloe and I once again say thank you to Charles for inviting us, then we leave wishing each other a good night.

I go to bed with butterflies in my stomach. My celebrity crush just made a pass at me. The thing I dreamed of and told myself would never happen is happening to me. I can't wait to be tomorrow so I can talk to him again or see him again.
