The encounter of a lifetime - Charles Lerclerc

Chapter 9

Chloe and I didn't do anything special last night after my call. We ordered food and went to sleep quite early. This morning we got up early and decided to go out to see the things we hadn't seen yet in Monaco as we are leaving in 2 days. Even if next year I will have plenty of time to discover Monaco from a to z. I'm really looking forward to this new experience. I called Anna this morning and it's confirmed, next year I will do my last year of Bachelor here. I still must look for an apartment, maybe even a roommate given the prices of apartments here, but I'll think about that once I get back home.

Our morning goes by quickly and we decide it's time to stop eating as it's already 1pm. We see a nice terrace and decide to sit there. While debriefing our vacation, we realize that we haven't gone to a real nightclub yet. Is a girl's vacation without a night out in a club a real girl's vacation? I am not sure. So, we decide to go there tonight and suggest the outing to our new friends and Charles.

*Conversation via message*

You: Hello how are you? I'm writing to you because Chloé and I wanted to go clubbing tonight and we wanted to know if you would like to come. We also proposed to Leo and his friends.
Charles 😇: Ciao ma belle, how are you? Chloe recovered from the evening at my house 😂? And yes I'm in, but only if  I  chose the club! I'm sure you don't know any of them and I don't want to end up in a place full of tourists.
You: Ahah yes she got over it. And it works for the club. Shall we meet in front of our hotel around 8 p.m.? We can go eat a few things first.
Charles 😇: It works ma beauté see you tonight.

It is now almost 8 p.m. and we are almost ready. She put on a white jumpsuit with a large neckline that goes down quite low, obviously with heels. And for my part I put on a short black tight dress with a pair of heels too. We take our small bag and head for the exit of our hotel.

Leo and Charles arrive almost at the same time, both dressed in shorts and a shirt. Charles had jeans shorts with a white shirt open. You could easily guess his abs that were emerging under his shirt. He was to die for.

Leo's friends joined us directly at the restaurant where they had reserved. As soon as we arrived at the table, Charles came to sit next to me. He gently put his hand on my thigh, making small circular movements. How can you resist this man.

We ordered food and decided to have a little alcohol to accompany our meal and prepare our evening. We left the restaurant not being drunk, but let's say we were very happy.

Arrived in front of the nightclub there was a huge queue. There must have been a 45-minute wait. I look at Chloe with wide eyes. We position ourselves at the back of the line while Charles continues and goes to speak to the men at the entrance. He beckons us to follow him, and we enter in front of everyone. It's the advantage of being with someone famous. Once inside, we head to a high table where trays containing bottles of champagne and vodka were already waiting for us. I didn't think there would be so much. I hadn't even thought about the fact that Charles was famous when I proposed this outing to him. I just wanted to date the boy I liked. Compared to the bar where we had met Charles and Léo, this club was 10 times more prestigious.

We drink a little and decide with Chloe to go wild on the dance floor. We are quickly joined by Leo and Charles who decide to come and have fun with us. Obviously at this same moment, Latin music begins. I decide to dance glue-tight with Charles. The tension between us increases. I see his breathing quicken and feel his heart beating faster. He puts his hands on my waist and shows me the desire he feels for me. We attract each other like magnets, and it shows. I only have eyes for him and it's the same for him. He gets even closer to me and whispers in my ear "you're driving me crazy ma belle". Then kiss me passionately. I feel like the only girl in the world at this moment. As if there was only him and me in the world.

After a good hour of intensive dancing, I go up and sit down for a few moments. My foot hurts from my shoes and I need to drink some water. From where I am I have a good view of the whole club. So I watch Charles dance with the others. But suddenly, I see a girl approaching Charles. They talk whispering in each other's ear, then she grabs his arm and pulls him to a farther corner of the club, but I still can see them. I feel the nerves starting to rise in me. I don't understand who this girl is and what's going on. I see that the girl is clearly flirting with him. She's there in the process of arching her back to bring out her ass, making sweet eyes and she touches his chest. I take it upon myself not to freak out. I'm a calm girl, but I have a strong character. And this kind of situation can get me out of my mind quickly, especially when I've had a little alcohol. I continue to analyze their conversation and see that the girl stands on her tiptoes to kiss him. It's too much for me neither one nor two I take my things and get out of the club. I need air, quickly.

Tears start to flow down my cheeks. They are a mixture of tears of anger and sadness. I got taken for a dumb bitch. At the same time it was sure that it was going to happen. A man like him is a smooth talker who has all the girls at his feet. He's the kind of guy to make you think you're special when two days later, when he's gotten what he wanted from you, he'll leave you for someone else. My breathing begins to quicken. I sit down on the sidewalk and take my head in my hands. I need to calm down.

Leo who was outside to smoke sees me and comes towards me to ask me what's up. I can't answer him because I can't catch my breath and stop my tears. And anyway, I don't want to talk to anyone.

A few minutes later, I see Charles come out of the club and run towards me.

Charles: Emma calm down what is going on?

I stand up and wipe my tears.

Emma: You think I didn't see you with the other girl there? Now please leave me alone.
Charles: Listen this girl is my ex. She came up to me because she wanted to talk with me, I followed her just to talk and then she kissed me. But I pushed it away because it's in the past and the only girl I'm interested in is you.
Emma: You didn't seem to push her away Charles.
Charles: She was a person who mattered to me because she was there when Jules, my godfather, died. But that was a long time ago and between her and me there is nothing more. I don't know why she kissed me, but I pushed her away right away I swear.
Emma: Stop giving me false promises. You took me for a dumb bitch, that's all. Anyway, I'm sure you would never have contacted me again once I left Monaco. And to think that I agreed to do a one-year exchange here for you. I'm really stupid.
Charles: Are you going to stay a year here? But it's great. I want to continue talking to you and seeing you as much as possible and for as long as possible. You really interest me Emma.
Emma: Listen, leave me alone. I can't believe you anymore and I need some air I'm going home.
Charles: No stay...

I leave, but he tries to grab my arm to make me stay. So I decide to run to get away from him. I need air and to find myself alone.
