March 7, 2025 - Bahrain
A part of the contract I had signed with Charles was for me to attend a set of Formula One events. The plan was to keep the relationship going just until the summer break and then we'll make an announcement about a mutual break up before the season started once again. There were twelve races during the first half of the season and I was required to attend half of it. The number was originally eight races, but I argued that my job wouldn't allow me to travel that much. I'd be travelling for some cases for the UN as well.
Charles and I arrived at Bahrain last night for the pre-season testing, our entrance to the airport being the first official public appearance. It was just some simple hand holding– nothing extravagant since there weren't that much fans to greet us. I still haven't told him about my family since I've been putting it off, but now that we were about to face the paddock, I knew I had to be open with him. Besides, I rarely saw him before leaving Monaco since he was busy driving back and forth to Maranello.
We had connecting rooms so when I heard him shuffling on his end of the door, I rapped my knuckles against it twice, only waiting for a few seconds before he opened it. He was dressed in a red Ferrari shirt which was completely different from all the casual clothes I've seen him in.
"Good morning." He grumbled before turning around and heading for the small table which held some food. My room had the same kind and I had already finished it while I had a quick phone call with Gabby.
I raised an eyebrow at his back before stepping into the room, realizing that the state of his unmade bed and the disheveled hair was a sign that he wasn't a morning person.
"Are you even awake?" I asked as I sat down opposite of him.
He chugged down the cup of coffee in front of him before wiping his mouth with a napkin. "I am now." He said and I shook my head at him. "What can I do for you, Nova?"
I resisted rolling my eyes as he once again used his chosen nickname for me. We just had an argument during the flight about it with me demanding him to stop calling me Nova and him continuously refusing. "Before we feed ourselves to the sharks," I began and he chuckled at my chosen words. "I need to tell you some things." He leaned back and gestured for me to continue, ready to listen. Underneath the table, I was fiddling with my fingers, cursing myself for forgetting my headphones that were back in my room. "Can I borrow your airpods again?" I asked and his lips turned down into a frown, knowing how I only used music whenever I was on the brink of a panic attack. "It's just a precaution."
