Just Another Championship - The Battle for Wolff | Max Verstappen #2

Emilia

It's was pretty late when we got back to the apartments it had been such a long day I was looking forward to getting into bed but we'd agreed we'd go out for a few drinks with Katerina and Pierre. As we walked up to my door Emilia was sitting outside. "There you are I've been sitting here for hours" I wasn't expecting her to be in Monaco so I was pleasantly surprised to see her. She got up and gave me a huge hug, I had missed her the last few weeks so I was actually looking forward to having her around. As she pulled away she looked straight at Charles and then back to me. "Hi Charles" she said as she placed her hand on his upper arm and squeezed it slightly. I didn't pay too much attention to do. Charles just smiled at her.
We went inside and Emilia threw herself on my couch "make yourself at home" I said sarcastically looking at her. "So what's the plan for tonight then" she replied ignoring what I said "We're actually about to head out" Charles replied sheepishly. "Great I'll go get ready" Emilia shot up straight away. I sighed and looked at Charles.

We went to meet the others at the bar, I was standing with Katerina getting some drinks, she was looking at the others with a concerned look on her face. "What's up" I asked wondering what she was looking at. "Does she know you two are together" she said as she pointed to Emilia "no not yet why" i replied as I glanced over to look at her, she was sat next to Charles. "maybe you should tell her she seems to be a bit touchy with him don't you think" I really hadn't paid much attention to it but the more I watched the two of them I could see it. Every time Charles would say something Emilia would overly laugh and place her hand on his arm or leg. I went back over to where they were sitting and put myself between the two of them, obviously she wasn't aware that we were together now but it still made me feel uncomfortable with how she was acting around him. Sitting between them didn't seem to make any difference though, Emilia would just shout across me to Charles as if I wasn't even there. I was starting to become a little frustrated by it.
Eventually I got so fed up of it, I decided it was time to leave. On the way back Charles could clearly tell something was bothering me because he kept looking at me with a concerned look on his face. Once we got back to mine he quickly gave us both a hug "I'll leave you two to it" he said as he gave me a slight smile and mouthed the words I'll text you I just nodded and went inside with Emilia.

The next couple of days me and Emilia just hung out together, I didn't mention anything to her about Charles. The right opportunity just never came up. Luckily he was busy with PR stuff as it was his home race, so It was easy to not bring him up.

I came into the kitchen whilst Emilia was eating breakfast. "So what are we doing today" she asked "it's a race weekend I have work" I replied as I got my stuff together, she sighed and slumped down into her chair. "You can always join me" I said trying to lift her mood. I'd unconsciously been so off with her I knew she could tell.
We went straight to the track to meet Lewis and George. To my surprise Emilia was actually a great help with filming and shooting for the platforms.
The whole weekend was pretty un exciting for Mercedes which was becoming quite a trend recently. Lewis' PR manager was off again so I'd talked my dad into letting Emilia tag along with Lewis for his interviews. Mainly because I wanted to sneak off and see Charles.
"You ditched your shadow" he laughed as I walked into his drivers room. "I think she likes you" I sighed he laughed as he pulled me in to kiss him, it really wasn't funny it was becoming increasingly awkward between us. "That's a shame, I've got a thing for someone else" he kissed my neck and stroked his hand up my body taking my top off in one quick swoop.
My phone was buzzing like crazy as I got redressed we'd taken a bit longer then intended. I sighed as I looked at it. "Apparently I have work to be doing" Charles pulled me in for a hug "I'll see you later" I nodded and smiled at him.

I walked into the hospitality and was met with my dad who had a furious look on his face. "You have a phone for a reason. Answer it" he was definitely stressed about something. Surely it wasn't me I'd done what I needed to. "Lewis' PR manager isn't coming back" I instantly sighed. Which made my dad laugh. "I'm not asking you to do it" I looked at him confused. "I was going to ask Emilia" great now she was going to be around all the time just flirting with Charles
