85

After Stella and Charles settled in their room at the hotel in Las Vegas, the pair were unpacking their suitcases from yesterday because they were too exhausted. She was folding clothes while he put them inside the closet, they arrived a bit late comparing to other drivers and her brother himself

Stella was fully settled in Monaco now, she moved in permanently from New York and while she would still go back there from time to time to record her songs but she believed she'd find a way to make it work and she would

"Babe, can you send G a text message from my phone telling him that I'd see him after practice?" She asked going to the bathroom and he nodded

"Yeah sure" he replied and obliged, she had to start getting ready to go to the track with her boyfriend

She noticed how he was anxiously shaking his leg, she made her way to him and sat down "Why are you nervous?" She questioned placing her hand on his leg making him sigh

"I need to win" he said with a determined look and she nodded with a smile

"You will, baby. You will" she said kissing his shoulder and then his cheek "You're great, remember that"

After they both changed and she did her makeup, they both drove to the circuit. She was excited because tomorrow not only it was race day but it was their one year anniversary

"See you later, baby" Charles told her leaning down capturing her lips slowly wrapping his arms around her waist tightly before whispering "I love you"

"I love you too" she whispered against his lips as he smiled before pulling away. She was still going to meet up with Lily and Carmen

"Hey, Charles" One of the interviewers greeted before Stella got the chance to walk away

"Oh, hey!" Charles smiled politely at the man before wrapping his arm around his girlfriend "This is my girlfriend Stella, doesn't she look stunning?"

"She does" the man said as Stella blushed glancing at Charles with a small smile. "How do you feel about him being a musical sensation"

Someone came from behind her and kissed her cheek making her flinch lightly, she turned around to see it was Lando making her chuckle as he walked away. Charles wrapped an arm around her waist as she looked back at the interviewer

"I'm very proud of him, I've always loved hearing him play but I'm happy everyone gets to hear him too. I mean when he first released it he was one of top ten and he could fill you in with my reaction when I woke up to see the chart" Stella revealed with a bright smile and Charles couldn't help the grin that formed in his lips "I'm really proud of him"

"Do you help her with her songs, Charles?" The interviewer questioned curiously and Charles shook his head in denial

"He did actually, not the 'write a song together' kind of help but he helped me with the melodies a lot" she stated with a nod "I would write the song and we would play the piano until we figure it out together"

"Trust me most of it is all her" Charles added with a shy smile and Stella gave him a pointed look

"Thank you Stella for answering my questions" the man told her and she nodded politely. Charles kissed her forehead and whispered I love you before she walked away

Quali day went good, Charles got pole position and as much as she looked forward to their first anniversary date, she had a migraine she was sure she wouldn't be able to survive without taking a nap but to her luck the date was the next day after the race.
