Charles Leclerc | Formula 1

Ten

A body crashes into mine and pulls me to the side, out of Micks way. I let out a shriek as the person grabs me. I have my eyes closed as I had prepared for impact.

I look up as I struggle to breathe calmly, I see those green eyes staring back at me, with worry written in them.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Charles half shouts at me.

I just feel my heart hammering in my chest and I just stare at him as I can't find any words.

"Breathe, come on, breathe" Charles says and shakes my shoulders.

"Daniella, breathe damnit" Charles says as he sees me panic more. "Calvin?" I ask out of breath and Charles glares at me.

"Charles" Charles corrects and I release a small laugh.

"What the hell were you doing in Redbull's garage?" Charles asks as he releases his grip on me.

"Are you watching me?" I ask in disbelief as I breathe properly and calmly.

"Observing" Charles corrected and I snort.

"Sure, that's a stalker would say" I retort and push him slightly back to create space.

"Are you okay? I didn't get you did I?" Mick runs up to us and I turn to him with a small smile.

"No, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I thought all cars were back. I shouldn't have walked here" I say and apologise. "Thank god" Mick says relieved and smile.

Charles glares at him hard and he hurries to wave goodbye and leave us.

"I should go back to Pierre and Lena" I say and clear my throat before walking into the garage next to me.

"I'm coming with you" Charles says and sling his arm over my shoulder. I press my elbow into his side and he pulls his arm back in pain.

"You're no fun" Charles says. I shake my head and roll my eyes at him. Idiot.

Lena hugs me as we come into the garage. "Is he okay?" I ask her and she nods relieved. Charles walks out behind me and goes to bro hug Pierre who is resting.

"What are you doing with him?" Lena whispers to me and wiggles her eyebrows. "We fucked in his room" I say bluntly. The shock on Lena's face was priceless and I bursted out laughing at her.

"No, I almost got ran over on the pit lane, he got me out of the way in last second" I say and her eyes widen once more.

"What!?"

We're eating at a restuarant, to spend time together before the race tomorrow.

Lena and Pierre sits on either side of me, to keep me out of trouble. Pierre kept giving me stern looks.

Lena kept urging me to do something Pierre didn't want me to.

"So, how long have you guys been racing F1?" I ask the drivers around the table. I feel my phone buzzing and I see two mails ticked in.

I saw Mercedes making a contract to send to me, with the pay on as well. I choke on my drink as I read what they wanted to pay me.

Everyone turns to me as I cough violently. Lena panics and tries to calm  me down confused, I shove my phone in her face and leave the table to the rest room.

I hear Lena run after me as she screams 'Holy shit!' the door opens and Lena pats my back and as I can finally breathe, she hugs me.

"Do it! Say yes!" Lena shouts in excitement.

"I don't understand, why would they offer me this much?" I ask her worried. She supports me by my elbow. "Maybe they really believe in you" Lena says exited.

"I guess" I say and take my phone back from Lena.

I immediately write to Redbull and let them know the salary Mercedes would offer me, I almost get an immediate response from Tina.

Offering me more. Lena shrieks loudly in excitement. Mercedes and Redbull were having a bidding war over me.

I let Mercedes know.

Lena waits with me, I see an unknown number call, it wasn't one I had saved.

I answer.

"This is Daniella" I say.

"Hello, this is Toto Wolff. I will cut right to the case. We will double what Redbull are offering you" Toto says and Lena almost faints on the spot.

She grabs the sink and remains quiet.

"I will take the job" I tell him and smile brightly.

"Good to hear Daniella, I will see you on Monday. Uniforms, work supplies will be sent to you and you will recieve the schedule" Toto tells me.

"Thank you so much! That sounds amazing. I will see you on monday then" I say and he bids me goodbye.

When he hangs up Lena turns to me, we're both in shock and then she jumps at me and we both scream in excitement.

When we're calm we leave the restroom and go back to the table.

Pierre stands up confused with a worried look on his face as he greets up back.

"What's going on?" Pierre asks.

"I got the job. I'm starting at Mercedes on monday" I say and bite my lip. "Really? That's great! Congratulations!" Pierre says and hugs me.

Lena jumps up and down in excitement. "Shots!" George shouts and come over to me and hug me as well as Lewis.

"Congratulations!" The others say and I smile. "Redbull and Mercedes were literally having a bidding war on me" I tell Pierre quietly and he laughs.

"Really?" I nod my head and we sit back down.

I text Victor the news and I knew he would be so happy. Now we were going to see each other more. Or at least be close enough.

During the night I continue to ignore Charles, he kept smirking at me the few times my eyes wandered on the boys.

I kept close by Pierre and Lena.

Until Pierre got out of his seat, Charles' ass were glued to his seat within seconds.

"Congratulations, wrong team though" Charles says and I fake smile. "Thanks, what is your name again? Charlie? Connor?" I ask faking my confusement.

"You're enjoying that way too much, Cherie" Charles leans in to say in my ear. Lena elbows me and I move a little forward and Charles' lips touch my cheek softly.

He chuckles and I move my head away from his. "Are you up for celebration tonight, amour?" Charles asks in low voice.

"Well, are you going to be there?" I ask in a sultry low voice.

"Cherie, I didn't plan on anyone else joining us" Charles says smoothly. I fake my smile and lean in to his ear flirtingly.

"Then no" I say and get up abruptly, Lena bursts out laughing as she heard the whole thing.
