Racing for love

Chapter 10 ~ dinner

I woke up in his arms. I let out a small breath. I got up, I was going crazy. This was all too much. Although I was now with Pierre again I didn't know what to do with Charles.

We had fixed our whole relationship and now Pierre wants me to stay away from him, even after he protected and help me these past few days. What was I going to do with these boys ?

'Y/n.' I felt his hand slid around my back.

'Morning.' I turned around and crossed my legs while sat beside him on the bed.

'Have you got work to do ?' He asked. I loved how much attention he payed to me and what I tell him.

'Yeah but only a few cards which I can do later if I have to.' I replied, wasn't strictly true but anything for him.

'Wanna go out ?' He suggested. I soon agreed and we got dressed and headed down to the town.

                                     . . .

We walked into a shop that Pierre wanted to look around. He got distracted and said he'd come and get me when he was finished.

I stood in an isle, staring at the blankets. I felt someone near me and when I looked around I saw a familiar face.

'Arth ?' I asked checking if it was him.

'Um... Y/n ?' It took him a moment to remember who I was.

'H-' I began before he hugged me tightly. Arthur was Charles little brother. We knew each other very well.

'I haven't seen you in ages. How are you ?' He asked.

'I'm good thanks, I have a job in F1, got a boyfriend, life's good I guess. How about you ?' I replied.

'Wait hold on you have a boyfriend ?' I loved looking into his eyes, they reminded me of Charles'.

'Yeah, I wasn't gunna stay lonely forever.' I smiled.

'I always thought you'd wind up with Charles.'

Then he muttered something.

'He did have a crush on you.'

'What did you say ?' I asked in a sudden serious tone.

'Y/n come on let's go.' I heard Pierre's voice say from behind me. Why now ? Pierre looked Arthur up and down, knowing who he was. He seemed upset, again.

Before Pierre could drag me away Arthur said one last thing.

'Y/n come to our rental house tonight, my mum and brother are staying there for the race, bring your family please, my mum will love it.' I nodded and soon left.

Why did I say yes ? I hadn't spoken to Charles since the crash and it would all be so strange. Maybe this was a good way to apologise ? But Pierre wanted us to stay away from each other.

He couldn't control who I'm friends with.

                                   . . .

We soon arrived back at the hotel and we went up to Pierre's room. I shut the door behind both of us and he went and sat on the seat in the corner of the room.

'What's wrong ?' I asked. He stayed silent.

I walked over to him. He was biting his thumb nail and bouncing his leg. I put one of my arms around the back of his neck and I sat down on his lap.

'Pierre, come on.' My hand played with his hair.

He stayed quiet still. His hand was on my lower back. He stayed staring out of the window.
