IL PREDESTINATO | Charles Leclerc |

Chapter 3

 Christina was walking through the paddock with her hands full of bags when Charles approached her.

"Hello you!" the Monegasque greeted her to which Christina replied with a small hello and a smile. "Need any help with those?" he asked pointing at the bags in her hands. Even though the girl refused and said that she was fine, Charles took a couple of them anyway.

"I suppose you're heading to the hospitality too" he states, looking at her. "Yes. I have to leave some of those before meeting Eddie," she replied eyeing the bags making him realise that their content was for the drivers, including himself.

Once they arrived, Lewis along with Daniel, Pierre, Lando, Carlos, Max, Seb and Mick were all sitting around a table having coffee while waiting for the 3rd practice to start.

"She's here and she's bearing gifts!" Lando exclaimed, rising from his seat and walking towards the girl. His eyes lighting up as he sees that she is holding bags full of cake boxes from some bakery.

"Happy to see you too, Lando" Christina laughed as he took a bag from her hands to look inside. "Yeah, yeah, you too. What you've got there?" he asked, placing the boxes on the table and taking a look at them and the ones Charles' had in his hands.

"Lewis took me to this bakery yesterday and the pastries were amazing so I drove there today and brought you some" the girl explained greeting the rest of the drivers with a quick side hug or a handshake. 

"Oh I love you" Daniel muttered staffing his mouth with a fruit tart and Christina gave him a smile.

"We spent 30 minutes looking for a bakery. And all for her cravings" Lewis explained to the others and Christina gave him a sweet smile. "You're like a pregnant lady, man, I swear" Lewis side shaking his head.

"Wait, don't take from those" Christina said to Lewis when he moved to grab a tart from the box Lando had placed in front of him. "Here, these are vegan" she exclaimed giving him another smaller box full of pastries especially chosen for him.

"Please sit with us Christina" Seb suggested pulling open a chair for her between Lewis and him. "I have to meet Eddie for a bit but I'll be back in ten minutes or so" she replied before placing a kiss on Lewis' cheek and walking away. "See you later"

"Oh and please eat those before any of your trainers come back and feel the need to murder me for ruining your diets" she said before disappearing further in the corridor, heading for the editing room.

"Take these, they're vegan" Daniel said mimicking Christina's voice and Lando chimed in by making kissing sounds.

"Separate box with pastries and a kiss on the cheek" Sebastian pointed out wanting to tease Lewis who was rather fascinated than bothered.

"And here I thought Charles was doing something." Piere sighed leaning against his chair.

"Yeah, Lord Perceval. How's that going?" Carlos asked smirking at the Monegasque. "It is not"

"Oh but it is. You had her all blushing on that interview yesterday" Lewis stated and looked at the Ferrari driver, referring to Charles's post-practice interview with the girl.

Charles had commented on her cap once again telling her that the Alpha Romeo one she was wearing wasn't the one for her.

"Oh really Charles? And what's the one for me then?" she had asked with a raised eyebrows.

"You already know the answer to that, chérie" he had replied which caused her to blush.

"And you arrived together just now" Max commented, a slight smirk on his lips as he looked at the Monegasque.
