Stay with me ● Charles Leclerc

Chapter 6

Elena's POV

I spent the afternoon with Kate after P1 was over, I told her that we were invited out for drinks with the boys tonight. At first she didn't want to come because Pierre might be there, we decided she'd stay away from him the whole night and we'll just have fun and enjoy ourselves. We needed a night out if I'm being honest.

It was 6:30 pm when I decided on what to wear, getting dressed and finishing my make up, taking a quick mirror selfie when I got a notification from Charles.

I replied as I made my way to the elevator and down to the hotel lobby only to find him standing with his back to me. ""Ready to go?" I said softly from behind him as he turned around to look at me eyeing me up and down "you look stunning" he whispered as he came in for a hug. "Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself" I said with a smile.

We got into his car as he started driving to the hotel Pierre and Kate are staying at. "Can I ask you something?" I asked without thinking "absolutely" he said glancing at me before looking back at the road ahead; I stayed silent after that because I don't know how to even put it into words which led him to look at me again "so? what is it?" he asked "have you been on social media lately?" I asked not daring to look at him "of course I have, that's the question?" he asked chuckling a bit before stopping at a red light "No, have you seen the rumors?" I whispered barely audible still looking ahead "I have" he replied "So, are they true?" I looked at him this time to meet his green orbs in the low light. 

He sighed but kept eye contact "technically we're still together, me and Charlotte" he said as he started driving again breaking eye contact "it's on and off between us, but we never officially broke up you know?" he said with a small smile as he parked at the hotel entrance for Pierre and Kate to join us.

"Hi" Pierre and Kate said as they entered the car. "Why is it that every time I see the both of you together I feel like you're going to kill each other?" Charles asked as he looked at both of them in the front mirror. "He started it" I heard Kate mumble under her breath from behind me.

The boys led us to the VIP area they had booked for the drivers, Charles introduced us to everyone and they were beyond welcoming, some of them brought their girlfriends so thankfully we weren't the only girls there.

"I thought Kika wasn't coming today with you Pierre" Kelly, Max's girlfriend said looking at him with a pout "she's coming into town tomorrow, she had a photoshoot today sadly" he said with a sorry smile. Carmen looked over to Charles "I'm surprised you didn't bring Charlotte either, we miss her, we only ever see her at the paddock these days" "Yeah I'm so lucky to have her, she's extremely supportive. Sadly she had other plans today, maybe next time" he replied 

Lando and Kate seemed to hit it off as well, they've been talking and drinking nonstop the whole time, it was actually nice to see her happy after everything she's been going through with Pierre.

I was standing at the bar getting another drink, I'm already feeling a little tipsy when I felt a hand on my waist, when I looked to see who it was I found a drunken Charles looking into my eyes "I think.. I think it's my turn to ask you.. something" he said drunkenly, I help him sit down on one of the bar stools "ask away Charles" I said "Are you dating anyone?" he asked "wow straight to the point" I chuckled weakly. He raised his eyebrow waiting for answer "because I so desperately want to kiss you right now" he said as he pulled me closer by the waist. At this moment I was standing between this man's legs looking into his magical eyes, what could possibly go wrong?

"Charlie.." I started talking before he cut me off "you know.. I hate that nickname... but I like it when you say it" he said as he put one hand on my cheek keeping the other on my waist, "sorry go on" he said still waiting for an answer "I'm not dating anybody" I whispered. The second I said that I felt his warm lips on my lips tasting the liquor on his lips as I tried to push him back softly "but you are Charlie, you're with Charlotte, we can't" I whispered taking a step back "I'm sorry" I whispered as I was about to walk away from him but he pulled me back by the wrist holding it a little too tight for my liking "we're in a fight you know, it's okay" he tried to to justify "you're still together Charles" I said softly "Come on let me take you back to the hotel" I said as I wrapped my arm around his waist trying to keep him from falling as we walked outside, the fresh air greeting us. 

He was about to get in the driver's seat "oh no you're not" I said pulling back a bit, "you're a passenger prices this time" I chuckled slightly as a helped him in the passenger's seat buckling his seatbelt and getting into the driver's seat. I've never driven a fast car before so I'm just hoping we don't die on the road at this point.

We got back to the hotel, "what floor are you on?" I asked him as we walked into the elevator but he stayed silent "you don't remember do you?" I asked again and he nodded "my room it is then" I said as I pressed the elevator button and got out my room key. 

I helped him on my bed, taking off his shoes and placing them under the duvet making sure he's comfortable and was about to walk over to the couch when I felt his hand holding my wrist "stay with me" he whispered "please, sleep with me" he looked at me with pleading eyes causing me to sigh and get in bed next to him when suddenly he took off his shirt, threw it on the floor, and held me tight into a hug with my head on his chest. "Thank you" he said and quickly drifted to sleep. We both did.
