"And then one day we meet a person. Without even wanting it, she becomes our best story".
The story of when I met my idol, and how I went from fan to soul mate.
*This story is fiction, even if it is based on real people it is not reality*
...
This morning I have to go to class, but I plan to go to the pharmacy this afternoon before going home to buy a pregnancy test. I join Léa in the amphitheater, I sit next to her and open my computer.
Lea: How are you, Emma? You don't look well. Emma: Yeah don't worry it's ok. Léa: You know you can tell me anything. If there's a problem, you have to tell me, I'm your friend, I'm here for that. Emma: Well it's just that I'm late and it's stressing me out a bit. Léa: Are you very late? Emma: Two weeks anyway. Lea: Oh yeah. Well listen don't panic, after class if you want we'll buy a test and we'll do it together. Emma: Yeah I will. Thank you really.
The class passes quite slowly. Usually I am very interested in the courses, but here my head is elsewhere. Once out of class we will eat a little something in the cafeteria before returning to class for the afternoon. Fortunately we do group work so it allows me to have my head elsewhere and not think about this test.
Once out we go to the pharmacy. The shelf is full of test of different brands and I have no idea which one to buy. I look at Léa in panic and she tells me that we are going to ask the saleswoman for advice. She recommends me one that I take, I pay and we leave the store. We walk fairly quietly to get to the apartment, normally it's a 20-minute walk but here it's more like 35 minutes. I'm afraid to do it so I'm delaying the moment a bit.
Léa: Uh Emma I think you have to see that.
She hands me her phone and there I see a photo of me with the plastic bag that contains the pregnancy test which is circled on a fan account of formula one. Someone took my picture and posted it. Of course the rumors that I'm pregnant are already everywhere. I never would have thought that Charles' fame could harm me so much. I take my phone to see the extent of the damage.
*Message from Charles❤️: Baby why am I seeing pictures of you with a pregnancy test???*
*Message from Charles❤️: Are you pregnant???*
*Message from Charles❤️: Call me as soon as you can.*
I decide to wait until I'm at the apartment to call Charles. I don't need anyone else to take my picture on this call. We pick up the pace and we're inside pretty quickly. I pick up my phone and dial Charles's number. I'm so stressed that my hands are shaking.
Charles: Hello? Emma: Hi it's me. Charles: Mon amour what is this story? Emma: Well I went to buy a pregnancy test and someone took my picture. But I can explain to you... *Charles cuts me off* Charles: Look, you have to know that even though we're young and that's not really how I imagined having my first child, but I would never ask you to have an abortion or anything. I love you and I will love this little piece of us even more. We'll find a way for our two lives to continue, you can continue your studies perhaps at home, and I my job. And we can count on the help of my mom that's for sure and maybe your parents too who knows. I will do everything for your happiness, your happiness. Emma: *tears come to my eyes* Charles you're so cute. But I don't even know if I'm pregnant maybe I'm not. I have to take the test there. Charles: Can I stay with you on the phone while you take the test? Emma: Yes, but there's Léa also in the apartment if ever.
I put the loudspeaker and go to the bathroom with Léa. I go to the toilet and do the test. We have to wait 3 minutes before knowing the result. It's the longest 3 minutes of my life. Finally I see that the test is negative. A weight lifts instantly from my chest. I shout on the phone "Charles I'm not pregnant!! ". He is still happy too. He reacted really well, but a child is always better when it happens at the right time. But again, it showed me that Charles is a good person. He could have told me to fend for myself, but no, he immediately reacted positively. I talk to him for a while, to find out how his day went, etc. All of a sudden I remember something.
Emma: Uh Charles on the other hand, what are we going to do for the photo that shot? Charles: Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it.

After this eventful day Léa offers me to go have a drink in a bar and I accept because I really need it. I put on jeans with a little white top in too beautiful bustier mode. We choose a nice bar with LEDs everywhere and cocktails that are apparently delicious. Léa takes a mojito and I take a pornstar martini, it's really my favorite cocktail. We're doing a little story that's too beautiful.

We clearly took 10 minutes to take this photo but it is incredible so we are happy. We then continue our little evening quietly, simply trying to clear our heads.
