The encounter of a lifetime - Charles Lerclerc

Chapter 18

The message of this certain Theresa was quite clear, she wrote to him "I really want you 👅🍆💦, you turn me on way too much" accompanied by a photo of her in sexy red lingerie, then a another where she lowers her bra to show her breasts, and in the last photo she is completely naked. Looking at the photos I realize that this Theresa is none other than her ex who kissed him during the club night a few weeks ago. I decide to try to calm myself down and see Charles' reaction to seeing the messages. Will he tell me and explain it to me or will I have to tell him?

He walks out quietly and picks up his phone. I analyze his face, and see that he is making big eyes. I imagine that he fell on the declaration of love of this famous Theresa. He locks his phone and leaves to get some clothes. So I decide to get up and confront him.

Emma: You don't have something to say to me by chance.
Charles: You want me to apologize for before that? Listen I know I abused and that...

I begin to raise the tone of my voice.

Emma: Are you kidding me you think I haven't seen the photos of your miss there?
Charles: Wait, did you search my phone?
Emma: No Charles I didn't search your phone but when someone calls you three times in a row at three o'clock in the morning I wanted to see who it was to see if I should bring you your phone in the shower because it was urgent. And that's when I was surprised to see your photos of your Theresa there.
Charles: Emma, calm down, I didn't ask that girl for anything.
Emma: You're going to tell me she came to kiss you, you apparently repackaged her, she sees that you're in a relationship but she says to herself what if I tried to send him nudes in case he changes his mind? You take me for a bitch there.
Charles: But no Emma I swear I don't care about this girl I don't know why she did that.
Emma: And what's more, you have the nerve to confuse me for Max talking to me twice when you have all that? What can tell me that you don't sleep with her yet or that you don't send her nudes too or I don't know?
Charles: I couldn't lie to you stop.
Emma: Yet you wanted to hide the fact that she had sent you this. Alright let it go I'm out of here.

I start packing my bag as Charles yells at me to stop and come sleep with him. I take my bag and slam the door to his apartment. I take my phone and call Léa in tears.

Emma: We went into an argument with Charles can I come and sleep at your place?
Léa: Yes, of course, come, I'll be waiting for you.

I stay a whole week with Léa. With Charles we didn't really speak again. He sent me lots of messages but I didn't answer them. I needed time away from him and away from all of this. Léa lent me some things and I couldn't go back to the apartment. But since it's Thursday today, I know that Charles is no longer at the apartment because he had to leave for Singapore. I was supposed to go with him but with everything that's happened I'm not in the mood for that. I thank Léa for hosting me and finally go home. I sit in front of the TV and relax.

Around 11 p.m. I received a notification from an unknown number. I unlock my phone and go see what it is. The message says:

"Hi Emma this is Pierre Gasly. I hope you are well. I am writing to you because I spoke a little with Charles who told me about your argument and I saw how badly he was. It looks like he hasn't slept for several days, he hardly eats anyway, he's not okay at all. I know he was stupid but he really cares about you. Would you be okay to still come to Singapore to see him and talk to him? I think you have both needs. You seem to really like each other and it would be stupid to ruin everything."

We talk for a while with Pierre and he finally manages to convince me to come to the grand prix. I will prepare my suitcase tomorrow and take a plane ticket which will be very expensive.

My flight is super long. I haven't been able to find a direct flight so I have to make a stopover in Dubai. Arriving at Singapore airport I am exhausted. I take a taxi and ask him to take me to Charles' hotel. I obviously told one of Charles' team members that I was coming so he could let the hotel know I was coming. Arrived at the reception they give me a double of the key room and I go up. When I arrive at the door, I decide to knock. Charles yells that it's open, he must think I'm a staff member. When he sees me coming he totally begs. He has a dark and sad face. The dark circles under his eyes are dark purple, he seems physically weak. I run into his arms to comfort him. It hurts me too much to see him like that. I know we'll have to have a talk, but right now he needs me to be there for him.

Charles: You came anyway. I missed you so much I didn't know what to do without you.

He hugs me tighter and starts crying in my arms. I didn't think he was that attached to me. It makes me think and I tell myself that he certainly could not have cheated on me if he is so attached to me. Never say never, but he sounds really sincere. In addition, during my conversation with Pierre, he told me that Charles' ex was totally crazy and that she had made him live with misery. They haven't been together for 5 years and yet she continues to poison his life.

Charles hasn't let me go all night. I told him he needed to sleep because he looked tired but he was so happy to see me he couldn't. He ended up falling asleep holding me tight against him. When I'm in his arms I have butterflies in my stomach and my heart throbs. I really love him and I hope this story will soon be just a bad memory.
