The encounter of a lifetime - Charles Lerclerc

Chapter 31

Yesterday we went skiing with my parents before going home. And today is visit day! We are going to Zürich (city) for our last full day in Switzerland. We're going to do some shopping and a bit of sightseeing. There are museums in Zürich with a bit of optical illusion and I want to go there with Charles to take some small shots. We park the car and decide to go to Starbucks before starting our day. There is no one so Charles goes straight to the waiter to order.

Charles: Hello.
Waiter: Hallo Herr, was wollen Sie? (Eng: Hello sir, what do you want?)

Charles rolls his eyes and turns to me waiting for help. I order for him and do the same for me. We take our order and sit down at a table.

Emma: So how did Monsieur forget that German was also spoken in Switzerland?
Charles: Honestly, I haven't thought of that. But you speak good German, huh?
Emma: Yes we learn German at school so I know how to manage. It's like you with Italian.

We go to the museum of illusion. It's really super funny we laugh all along. Between seeing our magnificent heads and bodies in magnifying mirrors, and taking pictures in unusual settings, it's really  funny. We take really beautiful photos that I will post on Instagram later with small backgrounds of led lights etc. Really they are beautiful.

After this museum we go out to go shopping.

Charles: Baby you know what we have to find you today?
Emma: Uh no?
Charles: We have to buy you a gala dress for the evening in Maranello.
Emma: Oh yes that's true.

So we go to the "evening dress" stores. There are hundreds of dresses, each one more beautiful than the other, but also more expensive. I look around a bit and quickly realize that it's not going to be possible to pick up a dress in this kind of store. Dresses are minimum 500 CHF. And for a student's salary, that's really a lot.

Charles: So you find something you like?
Emma: Uh no there's nothing I think I'd rather go see I had seen that at H&M there was a pretty dress.
Charles: Honey, you're not going to buy a dress at H&M.
Emma: But if it goes very well.
Charles: But no, it's me who's giving you a dress because you agree to come with me to this meal, so I'm giving you a dress. Take the one you like.
Emma: No, I don't want you to pay me stuff already there in the last few days you paid me 45 restaurants.
Charles: At least try them mon cœur.

I decide to try some dresses anyway. They are really beautiful but the price is really hot. I found a burgundy dress with gorgeous sequins I walk out of the dressing room and see Charles looking at me with one of those looks. We see love and envy in his eyes. I go into the cabin and try on another dress which is green. It does not fall very well and is a little too wide. I open to show the dress to Charles and see that he is at the checkout. I close and get dressed quickly to go to him.

Emma: Charles what are you doing.
Charles: I'm sorry but it would have been carnage not to buy that burgundy dress. You look like an angel in it and I know you don't want me to buy you things but then I couldn't have not bought you this.

I'm sulking a bit but at the same time I'm happy because this dress is beautiful and I'll look like a princess for the gala.

We finish our day and go home. I show the dress to my mom who tells me it's amazing.

This morning we prepare our suitcases and we take the direction of Monaco. We decide to stop for a meal in Geneva so that he can see the water jet. After this small meal we continued the road. We arrived at the apartment at the end of the afternoon and we didn't want to do anything. The journey was super tiring. We decide to order some sushi and watch a little movie.

Charles: Baby my friends just texted me and they're going to a party tomorrow they're asking me to go. Would you like to come too?
Emma: I don't know, I don't want to bother you.
Charles: No, you're not bothering. My friends want to meet you. They want to know who is the girl who makes my head spin.
Emma: Mh then oke I will come. But are there any girls?
Charles: Yes, there's Marta, the girlfriend of one of my friends.

I accept and already begin to plan my outfit in my head. I want to make a good impression on his friends. I'm a little stressed to go there but I'm really really looking forward to it.
