His photographer

walk of shame?

She woke up and panicked at first. Quickly she turned her alarm off, trying to prevent Max from waking up. When she looked over to the couch, he was still deeply asleep on the same spot as yesterday. She was relieved he hadn't tried anything with her.

All she could think about was Charles. She had made the wrong decision and she was paying the price for it now. She wasn't mad at the Monegasque, in fact, she would've reacted the same way. Lucia was just not used to being liked by two people at the same time and somehow get treated like shit as well. She didn't want to let anyone down or hurt anybody, but this wasn't what she wanted. If she truly liked Max as well, wouldn't she be at least a little happy about wearing his clothes and sleeping on the same sheets he had slept on?

She tiptoed her way to the bathroom and washed her face, the makeup from yesterday was smeared all over. Her skin was going to pay the price later for that too. She was shocked when she actually found some face cream and put it on her face. Since she didn't drink too much she luckily had no hangover and looked quite okay. Putting her black dress back on, she called a taxi. When she got out of the bathroom, Max was still sleeping. She decided she would leave him a message, rather then waking him up, so she grabbed her purse, jacket and walked out of the room after putting her shoes on as well.

She still had 3 hours to catch her flight, which was enough to be able to take a shower and quickly pack her things up. When she finally got to her hotel room and unlocked her door, Carlos, Lando and Marilla were sitting on her bed, chatting. When they spotted her, all of them went silent.

"Dónde has estado toda la noche?" Carlos said angrily, getting up from the bed and storming towards Lucia. (where have you been all night long)

"Cálmate. Tienes mi location, se olvidó? Además, le dije a Lando-" she started to explain, but saw Lando behind her brother waving his hands aggressively. (calm down, you have my location forgot? I told lando-)

So he hadn't told Carlos about yesterday. Lando shook his head and mouthed something like: "He doesn't know I know, don't tell him"

"Me refería a Marilla, le dije que llevaría a Max a casa." She explained, walking past him and sitting on her bed to take her shoes off. (I meant marilla, I told her I was going to bring max home)

"Como? Max?! Pensé que estabas allí con Charles" Carlos said confused. (what? i thought you were with charles)

Lucia glared at Lando. She didn't like lying to her brother over stupid things.

"English please" Marilla chimed in, just as confused as Lando.

Both of them understood little to nothing when the two siblings spoke in their mother tongue. Carlos eyes shifted towards Marilla and now he was glaring at her.

"You didn't tell me you knew. Why didn't you just tell me?" his Spanish accent was even stronger when he was angry.

A little panicked look escaped her eyes when she looked at Lucia. Lucia was praying that she played along and so was Lando.

"Right yeah. I forgot. I had too much to drink you know that" Marilla said, trying to defend herself.

Carlos just started cursing in Spanish under his breath. It was cute that he cared so much about his little sister, but sometimes she wished he would relax a little more. Carlos felt obligated to play this father role, since their dad mostly paid attention to him since they we're little. Their little dream boy who was going to be a Formula One driver.

Their dad didn't mind anything Lucia did. She had basically no curfew's, no rules about getting into relationships and he didn't really care when she left for an exchange year in England. It was not like he didn't love her and give her affection, he did, but he just was never as interested in her life as he was in his little boys. Carlos felt guilty about that. So he was even more invested in his little sister's life, no matter where in the world she was living.

"You won't even believe it. He literally cockblocked her. It was hilarious" Lando said, slightly laughing.

Lucia was looking confused at her brother, while both Carlos and Marilla screamed Lando's name. She looked at her best friend in disbelief. Had she invited one of her many boy toys to the yacht?

"Which one was it?" Lu asked, totally invested in the drama now.

"Blonde one" Lando answered for her, as Mary threw a pillow at his face right after he answered.

"There's like three blonde-" Lucia tried to argue, but suddenly she felt a pillow hit her face as well.

"Henry, it was Henry" she finally said annoyed.

Carlos didn't look too pleased.

"Never heard that name" Lando and Lu said at the same time.

"Beach boy" she explained further, while Lucia and Lando finally seemed to remember.

"That was beach boy yesterday? I thought it was the tall one" another pillow hit his face, so he hit her back.

Carlos was still standing in the middle of the room, with an angry face.

"Oh right, didn't he fly here to see you?" Lu asked.

"Okay stop" Marilla said and Lando and Lu looked at each other confused.

Lucia wondered since when she started caring when someone talked about her hookups. She was a beautiful women who was enjoying her single life, that's what she always said and never gave a fuck about what other's thought. Was it because of her brother? Couldn't be that, right? She made herself a mental note to talk to her friend later about it.

"Can we go back to the part where you stayed at Max's house without telling me or Lando? The rest is irrelevant"

Irrelevant? That was definitely not how Marilla would've described it, but she kept her mouth shut. It was him who had decided to verbally attack her date yesterday and then drag her home.

"Max had too much to drink, he wasn't able to drive and he wasn't feeling well, so I drove him to the hotel and slept there."

Lando had a wicked smile on his face when he said: "So this was a walk of shame wasn't it?"

Carlos just looked confused because he probably didn't even know what that meant, while Marilla's eyes were as big as the grand canyon.

"No it wasn't. He slept on the couch. And I wasn't really drunk"

"What is a walk of shame?" Carlos asked.

"You don't know what a-" Mary said, but go interrupted.

"It doesn't even matter okay? I need to shower so please guys. I'll see you in 40 minutes in the lobby" Lucia begged and finally all of them left.

This was definitely not what she had been expecting after this whole night. She took a quick look on her phone to see if Charles had responded, but still nothing from him. Only a message from Max, thanking her for staying and apologizing for everything, again. She didn't bother to answer him, as she took her clothes off and walked into the shower. She needed to figure out how to fix things with Charles now.
