Sparks flying [Charles Leclerc]

five

Me and Charles entered the gala, his hand gripping my waist. I hated galas but I was slowly falling for Charles and I would do anything to spend a night with him again. He kissed my collarbone, occasionally whispering compliments into my ear. His romance was my desire.

Charles introduced me to the other drivers attending the gala. I was avoiding Max thought, it would be best if we stayed distant in future. I enjoyed the meal and Charles kissed me in front of everyone a few times, I like that he liked being seen with me. He was the most gorgeous view of all and whilst I knew that we'd wake up to a press article about us in the morning, I'd decided that it would be worth it. His kisses over my neck turned me on and I found it so hard to resist him that night.

"Can i get you a drink" a familiar voice spoke from behind me as i sat at the bar waiting for Charles to come back from being introduced to a few important members of the FIA. I turned to face towards them. Max.

"I'm waiting for Charles but thank you" I said trying to be polite.

"Oh come on it's just a drink" I watched as he slightly moved his hand revealing a card and a pill.

"Erm I've gotta go" i said leaving my drink behind and trying to find Charles.

When i found him he could see how stressed I was. He immediately excused himself from the people he was talking to and gripped my waist as he pulled me back to the bar and sat down with me. I began panicking and loosing my breath.

"Here take a sip and explain to me in a second I've got you babe I always will ash." He spoke softly tipping the drink into my mouth.

"No no you don't understand" i said breaking.

"What's happened was it max? I swear I will kill him." He said placing the drink down and leaving me behind to find max.

I felt lightheaded and realised that I had left my drink behind. Shit. He really was trying to spike me. Where was Charles? I needed him right now. That's when I heard yelling and then a piercing thud as Maxs body hit the ground not long before mine.

"Fuck." I muttered as my eyes began to open. I was laid on a hospital bed on a drip.

"There you are" he said wiping his eyes.

"Charles what happened babe" I said panicking.

"Well amor im guessing you were stressing over Max and it appears he spiked you" I listened in terror.

"Oh" I muttered before bursting into tears. "Will i be well enough for next week?" I continued.

"Don't stress about that now just rest im right next to you the whole time" he smiled softly and caressed my cheek.

"Your knuckles?" I said concerned.

"Don't worry everything is ok"
