Ophélie

Part 11

*** Authors Note: Let's spice it up again, shall we? ***

We get back to our hotel and I move my stuff out of my room and into Charles', so that Arthur can have the room, I wouldn't be using the room for the rest of the week. Charles and Arthur have made plans for us to have dinner with Daniel, Max and Kelly, George and Carmen, Carlos and Isa, and Lando. I style my hair into a half up, half down style, and pull on a pair of blue ripped skinny jeans and a tight fitted black lace top, paired with a pair of black heels.

Charles comes out of the bathroom and stops, looking me up and down. "Tu es absolument magnifique mon amour." He smiles, walking over and pulling me to him before kissing me. ( Tu es absolument magnifique mon amour. = You look absolutely beautiful my love.)

I step back and fix the collar on the black shirt he's wearing. "You don't look too bad yourself, Mr. Leclerc."

Once we're at the restaurant, Charles sits on my left, his hand on my leg, while Isa is on my right, next to Kelly. Charles is speaking to Max and Daniel, while I'm talking to Isa and Kelly.

"We were worried when you guys didn't come back to the club the other night." Isa says, looking over at Charles and then back to me.

"Yeah, Charles looked super pissed off." Kelly adds.

I smile. "We just had a little misunderstanding, but we're all good. We just had to sort it out. I had so much fun with you girls though, I can't wait for the next one!"

"The WAGS always know how to have a good time." Kelly laughs.

"Are you guys going back to Monaco during the two week break?" Carmen asks, she's made her way over from where George is sitting, and is squeezing herself onto Isa's lap. She leans over and gives me a hug, and then hugs Kelly.

I nod. "Yip we are, just for a few days, then we'll be heading to the next race, and you guys?"

"George wants to see his family, so we're going back to the UK for a few days." Carmen smiles, looking over at George who winks at her, causing her to blush and drop her head. I smile.

"Max and I will be in Monaco with P. She's with her dad at the moment. I can't wait to see her again." Kelly says, sighing a little. Carmen puts her arm around her shoulders, rubbing her one shoulder gently.

I smile at her and reach over to squeeze her hand before I turn to Isa. "And you and Carlos, are you going back to Spain?"

Isa smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. When she speaks, it's very quiet and we have to kind of lean in to hear her. "We are, but Carlos will be alone at the next few races. I have to stay behind for work. We had a huge fight about it."

Carmen wraps her arms around Isa, hugging her tightly. "Why? What happened?"

"He doesn't want me to stay at home, he wants me at every race, but it's not possible. I also have a job, yes it's super flexible but I also have to work. He doesn't see it like that though, even telling me that if I want to work he'll ask Ferrari to find another position for Monica so that I can be his assistant." she glances at me quickly before looking down.

"He's being silly." Kelly says. "I'm sorry, but Ophelia and Charles have worked together for years. They know how to balance their work life and their personal relationship, even if it's a little more now. God, I could never work with Max like that. We'd kill each other."

I squeeze Isa's hand. "He's just seeing something he thinks he wants, but not everyone can do it. Charles and I had to balance our work life and friendship, and now with the romantic aspect coming in, we are still in our honeymoon phase, I'm sure I'm going to be ready to kill him sooner or later. You guys will be fine. Carlos is a reasonable person, I think he probably just needs a second to realize what he's asking of you. I'm sorry that this has you so upset hun, it's not nice."
