30. Bad luck again and again

We had rushed to the airport and luckily we just made it to the plane. However I was still in shock. Max had just told me that his ex-girlfriend Kelly had seen Charlotte making out with some random dude in a bar bathroom. The first thing that I thought wasn't that she cheated on me, but it was why Max didn't tell me about this sooner. I had been crying in his arms about our brake up but he didn't care to tell me about maybe the reason she broke up with me. In the end the reason didn't really matter since I was really happily with Max now, but it would have been nice to know things like these. But was it my fault that she cheated on me. Was I such a bad boyfriend to her. Maybe I just wasn't enough. 

Max had noticed that Charles was quiet just looking out of the airplane window. He had not said a single word to him after they left the hotel with Pierre. Maybe I fucked up somehow. Maybe I shouldn't have told him about Charlotte cheating him, it was probably too much for him to handle right now. I sensed that Charles was not in a talking mood so I silently just took his hand in mine and stroked the back of his hand with my thumb. I saw how Charles smiled a little but he still didn't turn to look at me. I decided that the best way to make him happy again would be getting the tacos I really had been wanting and the talking and maybe watching a movie of his choice. We also needed to call Charlotte and inform her about our plan if he tried to force us out of the closet. 

"I think that it was both Mattia and Charlotte" Charles said out of the blue. Me and Pierre had been talking and quickly turned to look at Charles. Pierre had no idea what Charles ment but I knew excatly what he meant. 

"Why do you think so?" I asked as calmly as possible. This was a hard toppic for me and also for Charles so I wanted to approach it carefully. Especially now that Charles was clearly vulnerable.

"Well because the message said 'putting Ferrari seacrets at risk' that sounds just like Mattia, I think he even said those exsact words to me in saturday, but the the photo is from Charlotte. They were always in really good terms I don't know why, but I think that Charlotte somehow got the photo of us and hinted Mattia that something could be going on between us and that's why he was at my hotel room on one morning trying to caught us. Charlotte probably wants to revenge, because I rejected him in Monza and Mattia is just homophobic" Charles said. It all started to make sence to me, I was now almost certain that it had happened. 

"But how do you know that Charlotte took the picture?" I asked still trying to understand everything. Charles grabed his phone still not letting go of my hand and showed me the picture. I looked at it with Pierre, but I couldn't understand how he knew that it was Charlotte. 

"I don't understand" Pierre said my thoughts out loud. 

"Look at the window in the left corner, there you can see Charlotte's shadow" Charles said now smiling. 

"Oh now that I see it it's quite obvious" I said. 

"But I still don't understand, what message and all that shit" Pierre said frowning. I didn't blame him, it was complicated situation and we hadn't told him about this. 

Charles started to explane it to Pierre in french who nodded and made some sounds when he heard something nasty. 

"I have to say that they are incredibly stupid to think that you wouldn't eventually find out who was behind all of this, and they both just risked their careers with blackmailing you" Pierre said with big eyes. I wanted to say something but the flight captain interrupted me with an announcement that we would start landing now. It was very unsmooth landing and since I was sitting in the middle and both Pierre and Charles hated flying with turbulence my both hands were almost violet from them squeezing the life out of them.
