The encounter of a lifetime - Charles Lerclerc

Chapter 49

Waking up this morning was hard. I painfully got up to put on a training shirt and a t-shirt and start my revisions. I grab my computer, my lesson sheets and my highlighters and off we go. Léa comes to sit with me and we study together.

Around 9 o'clock Chloé and my sister wake up and come to have breakfast. They then go to get ready and they leave to go shopping.

Our day passes quite quickly in the end and we can finally get ready to go out. On the program is a restaurant then going to a club. It's been a long time since I've been out, at least I have the impression, so I decide to put on my 31. I make myself a makeup that is way too cute with rhinestones and I tie my hair in a pulled bun. For my outfit I opt for black pleated trousers, a basic white top and a suit jacket.
I really like my makeup so much so I decided to post a photo on instagram.

I then grab my little bag and my stiletto heels and we leave.

The restaurant we chose is too cute. It's super modern but with a touch of the plant and they put neon lights on. Really too beautiful. We order all our dishes and to accompany it, of course, a cocktail. Because a girl's night out without a cocktail wouldn't be a real girl's night out for us.

We go to the box already well underway in terms of alcohol. I feel like I'm a little dizzy let's say.

We go to the bar to get another cocktail, which we don't need, let's be honest. And of course Chloé offers us to shoot tequila, which we do. We then dance on the floor like crazy. Really we spend a great night between girls.

I'm starting to really have to go to the toilet so I leave my bag with Léa and plunge into the crowd. There are so many people that I find myself being pushed around. I almost made it to the toilet when I got stopped dead for taking someone's back. It must be a guy who is 2 meters by 2 meters because his back is huge. The shock was so strong that I lost my earring, so I bend down to pick it up. The man apologizes in English and asks me if I'm okay. But his voice sounds familiar to me.

I get up and realize it's Max.

Max: Oh Emma how are you?
Emma: Alright and you?
Max: Fine. Are you all alone?
Emma: Uh...no I'm with friends.
Max: Seriously, that's super cool.
Emma: Well I'm sorry but I have to go to the bathroom.
Max: Oh okay go ahead.

I leave quickly and slip into the toilet. It's not possible why I always meet people who give me problems or that I don't like etc. Seriously, I can't do a single quiet evening.

I take a deep breath and step out of the bathroom, ready to launch myself back into the crowd. Except I see Max is next to the toilet leaning against the wall.

Max: Ah, there you are.

I smile very embarrassed.

Max: Tell me how are you? Not too bad?
Emma: Uh I'm fine. Why?
Max: Well I said to myself that in view of the situation you might not be doing very well.
Emma: What situation?
Max: Wait you don't know?

My nerves are starting to get on my nerves, I really don't understand what's going on.

Emma: Knowing what Max??
Max: Wait, look.

He pulls out his phone and searches on it for a few moments. It feels like an eternity.
After this very long wait, he hands me his phone, and what I see takes my breath away.

I see pictures of Charles on a Formula 1 gossip account. He is with a girl and they seem very close. We can see pictures of them on a yacht, and he has his arm around her shoulders. I scroll through photos and videos. My heart races. And my nerves are rising.
Between the alcohol I drank and the state of shock I'm in, I don't understand anything. My head starts to spin. I hand the phone back to Max and quickly rush outside pushing everyone around.

Max tries to catch me, but he can't. I am determined and I no longer calculate anything around me. I don't even have time to go tell my friends, now I want and have to go out.

I take my phone that was left in my pocket and call Charles. He doesn't answer but I persist. After the 4 or 5th call he answers.

Charles: What is it baby why are you calling me at this hour?

I hear in his voice that he was sleeping. I start to cry, and I feel like I'm out of control. My head is spinning and my eyes are starting to see blurry.

Emma: You're really kidding me, I yell.
Charles: What is it?
Emma: You really are an asshole. You're here you go and you all you can find to do is cheat on me?
Charles: What are you saying?
Emma: You really are a motherfucker. I saw I saw everything like everyone else. I...I...

I drop the phone on the ground and collapse on the floor.
