IL PREDESTINATO | Charles Leclerc |

Chapter 5

Author's note- Before you start reading this chapter I wanted to inform you that the next part will be a social media update. In those updates apart from the insta posts, I write extra scenes that are important for the plot of the story, so I'd advise you not to skip them because you'll miss important things. They're usually between 1500 to 2500 words so there's pretty much to read.

By the way, do you guys enjoy big chapters or are they tiring?

Eight days later, from their first interaction and Christina had gotten way closer to her neighbor than she thought and wanted. She really thought that meeting him would be just a one-time thing. But it wasn't.

They were hanging out every day. Starting with their morning session, which consisted of Charles playing the piano and Christina dancing to his music.

Charles would wake up early every morning and get himself to the music room. He'd open the window so they sound could travel to Christina's house only to notice that Christina was leaving her window and curtains open as well, just as he wanted.

She would always be there earlier than him, doing a warm-up before he started playing. And while he did, Charles remembered to take his gaze off the piano to look at Christina, who whenever did her piruettes would use Charles as her spot, only to maintain eye contact with him.

With the days passing, Christina could sense the way Charles was looking at her changing. He'd look at her with a soft smile on his lips, his green eyes glowing and holding different emotions. And when she was done dancing, she'd turn to look at him, and he'd smile harder, making his dimples show.

Oh, how she liked his dimples.

She could also sense the way she was looking at him changing. There was something about his music that made her feel connected to him in some way. She could feel everything that he felt. Everything that made Charles burn, made her burn. Everything that he struggled with, she struggled with. Everything that made him smile, it made her smile.

This morning, however, things were different than the other days. Charles never showed up to his music room to play. She waited for him, believing that he was late and probably overslept, but he never came. She didn't have her dancing session. She didn't have her "Charlie time" as Scarlet and Florence called it.

The two actresses were the only ones who knew their story from Christina's side. Although Christina tried not to let excitement take over her, she couldn't help but describe to her two friends the situation she was on.

She regretted that decision so much.

Both Scarlet and Florence always mocked her at the mention of Charles. But they were supportive none the less. They told her to do whatever makes her feel happier and not to let her fears get the best of her. Charles looked like a good guy, and he made her happy. He made her feel a type of way her friends had too long to see.

When Christina noticed that his car wasn't outside the house as well weird thoughts started running through her mind. He wouldn't leave without telling her, would he?
