Champagne Problems

ꜰɪᴠᴇ- ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴀʀ

Its been four days now since I saw Charles and I still don't know how to feel. The meeting brought back all the moments we had. Wether they were good or bad. My parents have been telling me that I should finally tell him, as he would be in Monaco a while for the summer break.
But how should I tell him? I can't just knock on his door and tell him that he has a child. I don't even know where he lives.

I'm currently getting ready for work. It's Friday today so it will be full again. I have to bring Jules to Relia before.

„Okay Jules you're going to sleep at tante Relias today okay? Mama has to work late" I tell him as I started packing his stuff

„But Mama why do you have to work? Can't you just stay at home, I don't want to sleep somewhere else again" he started to cry

„Oh baby it's only one night a week. Mama has to earn money to make things possible in your life",I walked over to him and hugged him, „Tante Relia planned making pizza with you and watching movies. How do you find that?"

„Yay pizza" he started screaming

We finished packing his things. I got my bag and we walked downstairs to the car.

We got to my sisters place and she opened the door.

„Hey there is my favourite nephew" she said hugging Jules

„I'm your only nephew, Relia" Jules giggled

„Please be kind as always to Relia" I told him and looked to Relia, „If something happens you know to call me"

I gave Jules a lat kiss and walked to my car again.

As I got to the bar and saw a queue. ‚This could be something' I thought to myself. I got out of the car and walked through the workers entrance.

„Hey Amélie how are you?" Alice asked me as I got into the workers space

„I'm good and yourself? We have a big night ahead" I told her

Alice and I are very good friends. She was one of the first employees, when I opened the bar.

„I'm good too. Yeah apparently there is a big group coming tonight. We have loads of work to do. How's Jules doing?" she said as we got to the counter. We started putting up all the glasses.

„He is fine. He met Charles" I told her

„What he met Charles?! So you finally told him?" Alice said

„No, I didnt. We were at the French Grand Prix and he met Charles there and they took a picture"

„Let me see the picture. And Charles didn't recognise you? What a stupid kid" she said.

„Don't call him that, but no, he didn't recognise me. Although he thought for a second" I said to her as I got out my phone to show here the picture.

„Oh lord, they could be twins. How did he not notice" she said examining the picture

„I don't know, but we have to concentrate now. Let the evening begin" I said when all the people came inside.

The beginning is the worst because everybody wants something at the same time. As the time was moving on it wasn't as busy.

It was really full tonight. I haven't seen my bar so full since the beginning. Something feels odd.

„Oh my god Amélie, there is Carlos Sainz walking towards us" Alice suddenly said.

„No, you don't think he is here too, right?" I said nervously

„I don't know, but I keep my eyes out for him" she said

I was starting to panic.

„Hello, I would like these drinks, please?" Carlos said and gave the piece of paper

„Sure, it will take a few minutes" I told him as we started doing the drinks

As we finished the drinks he thanked us and walked away

This was going to be a long night.

Charles Pov:

Its Friday. We decided to go to a bar this evening. Many of the drivers are staying in Monaco till Sunday, so we wanted to go out a last time before the next race. We decided to go to a bar nobody of us have been before. Apparently it's very good and discreet.

I still thought about the little boy and his mother. Was it really Amélie? I should talk to her, just in case. But do I want it? My whole life could be turned upside down and I don't need that at the moment.

„Charles are you ready to go?" Charlotte asked as she came out of the bathroom

„Yes I am" I said and walked towards her

„You look very beautiful" I told her

„Well you look very handsome too" she said and I kissed her.

We both started walking outside. We got into my car and drove to the bar.

The others were already there.

„Its about time that you two come" Pierre said and hugged me

We all got into the bar. It was very full. We went to one free table.

„So guys, what do you all want? I'm going to go order some drinks" Carlos said.

We all wrote down our drinks and he went to order.

We started to talk about random things.

„Charles did you find out something about the woman from the weekend?" Pierre said as quiet as possible. Nobody except for him knows. I didn't tell my family or Charlotte. Was to scared to bring that passage of my life up again

„No and I also didn't talk about it to someone" I answered him

„You should Charles. It's a big thing. It could affect your whole life. Its not something you can just leave out" he said honestly

„I know, but I don't ruin anything right now" I said

He just rolled his eyes and went beck to the conversation with the others. He is right, but I can't do it now.

I went off to the counter and wanted to order another drink

„Hey, could I have a glass Bacardi rum please" I told the girl behind the counter. She gave me the glass and I started drinking.

That's when I saw her. The same woman as the one in France. Amélie. I need to talk to her.

„Hey, werent you at the Grand Prix in France. You are the mother from Jules, right? I really have to talk to you, Amélie" I told her as she walked past me.

She looked at me visibly shocked.

„I don't know what you mean, I'm sorry" she mumbled and quickly went into the back

I walked back to the other

„Pierre, its her. She works here" I told him and he looked at me with the biggest eyes.
