My eyes widen in panic and Charles' brows furrows in confusion.

We look to the side and I take a step back. I see Victor and Arthur march up to us.

"What the hell is this? Why the fuck are you kissing my sister? Back off" Victor shouts and shoved Charles back.

"Calm down, it's okay—""—Its not okay! He's a fucked up player, he hurts people" Victor exclaims and I look down in embarrassment.

"It's not like that—""—Am I talking to you? I don't think so, back off" Victor interrupts Charles.

"Mate, calm down. Why are you acting like this?" Arthur asks and try to put his hand on Victor's shoulder, but he shoves it off.

"I'm too sober for this" I mutter and all three turns to me and I realize I said it louder than I intended.

"Victor, come with me" I say and Victor glares at the two brothers before following me.

"It's true, Charles had a bad history with women, and I realize how naive this sounds, but it's not like that with him and I. We're dating" I tell him softly.

"Why would you do that to yourself?" Victor asks with a scrunched nose. I can't help but chuckle.

"I like him, he's sweet to me. He treats me well" I say with a small smile and halt and turn to my brother.

"It's okay, we got this. Okay? Don't worry" I say and Victor narrows his eyes at me as he eyes me up and down.

"Okay...just be careful" Victor says with a defeated sigh.

"I will. I'm sure about this" I say and he nods. He pulls me into a hug and I see Arthur and Charles lean against each other with a smile and I roll my eyes.

"We're gonna be brothers in law man!" Arthur shouts excitedly and I cringe.

"Oh god no" I say and a shiver runs down my spine.

"We're dating, we're not a couple yet. So you can calm down" Charles says as they walk up to us and Arthur frowns.

"Just get it over with, we're gonna be brothers in law!" Arthur cheers once again and nudge my brothers shoulder.

"Say that one more time, I swear to god I will ki—""—Alrighty, want to grab something to eat? All of us?" I interrupt and pat my brothers shoulder.

"Sure" Charles says and Arthur and Victor nods.

"You're my sister in law" Arthur cheers as he walks up to me and I laugh at him and shake my head.

"You Leclerc's are crazy. It must be genetic" I say and Victor snorts.

"Our handsomeness are genetic" Charles cuts in and I chuckle and accept the hand Charles held out for me to take.

He intervened our fingers and I smiled as he ran his thumb over the back of my hand.

We went to a restaurant, found a quiet table, and ordered delicious dinner.

Meanwhile as Charles and Victor started to get along, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out and saw a message from Lena.

My brows furrowed in confusion.

Lena:
The plane is leaving in one hour, are you coming with me?

"Excuse me" I say and get up and walk outside. I dial her number and she picks up immediately.

"Hey" Lena says softly.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't you work it out?" I ask hurriedly and run a hand through my hair.

"I'm gonna need some time, I'm not mad at him, I just—I need some time before deciding if I go back to him, to trust him, to be in this" Lena says and my heart shatters.
