After Race Party, 1:37 a.m

He opened the door getting out of the party. They looked at each other, smiling.
They kissed one more time before they started walking towards Charles's car, still holding hands. As they parted ways and got inside the car, they looked at each other before kissing one more time.

He put the key inside the car and turned the engine on,driving away. His left hand on her thigh and his right hand on the steering wheel.

She turned to look at him. His black t-shirt stuck to his body, the air pushing his brown hair back and his beautiful green eyes focused on the road, glistening. The street lights reflecting into his eyes.He looked so beautiful. Her beautiful boy. He turned to look at her for one moment. Their eyes meeting.

They arrived at his hotel. Getting out of the car before they met in front of it. Standing there, holding eye contact, she took his hand in hers and started walking towards the hotel.

They entered the hotel and got into the elevator, their hands still interwined. He turned to look at her before taking a piece of hair that had fallen on her face and put it behind her ear, his hand now resting on her cheek. She looked so beautiful. Her brown eyes shining and her white teeth showing through her big smile. She put her hand behind his neck pulling him in for one more kiss. Their lips connected with each other. Their kiss full of emotion. They pulled apart catching their breaths, making eye contact. Their foreheads touching. Both of them smiling and giggling.

They got out of the elevator. Him dragging her towards his room. Both of them running and laughing and kissing again and again and again. Acts full of emotion.

He got his key out before opening the hotel room. Both of them getting inside before he closed the door behind him as he turned to look at her.
"God how much I want you" he whispered into her ear. She grabbed his face and kissed him hard.
"Come with me" he said as they pulled apart. He walked towards the balcony, her following behind.

They got outside. Her breath catching on her throat as her brown eyes looked at the view. Everything looked so beautiful that night. From the street lights to the stars.

He hugged her from behind, his head resting on her shoulder as she admired the stars.
"You really like the stars, huh? " he asked her ,breaking the silence between them. "How can someone not to? They look so beautiful" she replied back.
"You are beautiful too." he said to her. She turned to look at him. Their faces now inches apart. Just like a few moments ago.
"I like you Lydia. I really do" he continued.
"I like you too Charles"
"Can I kiss you?" he asked her. She nodded. And he kissed her again. Their lips touching as he closed the gap between them.

Breaking the kiss she turned to look at the stars again. Her head now falling back, touching his chest.
"I told the stars about you"she said.
"You did?" He replied back. A huge smile on his face.
"Yes. I was talking with the moon last night. The moon told me something about the sun and I told them something about you". He laughed.
"You are majestic Lydia." he said looking down at her.
"Let's go to the pool" she said, turning to look at him, and he nodded. She took his hand getting out of the room, walking through the long hallway and into the elevator.

They were by the pool now. Taking long walks around it, talking. Their hands still in contact.

She stopped at her tracks turning to look at him. "I guess I'm not the person that let's go off the past easily. A part of me always stays there." she said.
"I'm not the kind of person that lets the past affect me. If I did that I wouldn't be around here a long time ago." he responded back looking at her. "After Jules death I was in shock. I was so sad. Then my father died and I felt like everyone in my life left. I was afraid that something might happen to my brothers or my mum too. But I never thought of quitting. All I did was for them. I had to keep fighting for them." he continued. Silence.
"I'm sorry"she whispered to him. Guilt filling her body.
"Why?"
"Because I reminded you again what happened" she said. Her head down and her voice full of shame.
He put his hand on her chin pulling her head up as he smiled on the girl's reaction.
"I don't get sad anymore when someone mentions them. People will only die when you stop thinking about them. They still live here and here." He touched her head and then her heart.
"I never thought it's like that. I always had my mother and my father. But I always struggled with other things. I-, I-" "It's okay if you can't tell me. I'll be here for you when you are ready."
"Thank you Charles." she whispered back at him. They looked again into each other's eyes again. Holding eye contact once more

"Ohh. The atmosphere became heavy.Say something funny."he suddenly said breaking eye contact and looking around.
"You want me to say something funny?"she asked him, taking a step towards him, a smirk on her face.
"Hm" he replied.

And she kissed him, before pushing him into the pool. She started laughing so hard.

"Why would you do that?" he yelled from inside the pool.
"You said to say something funny"
"I told you to say something funny not push me into the pool. Help me get out"
He said reaching his hand out for her to take. She took his hand in hers and he pushed her with him inside the pool. "HEY" she said as she got her head out of the water.
"Payback" he said looking at her, laughing.
"You want payback? Catch me" she said before going again inside the water, swimming away from him. He got inside the water swimming towards her. He caught her before turning to look at her.

With their heads now out of the water they laughed, while holding eye contact. They moved towards each other, their bodies now touching, hugging. They kissed. Their lips moving perfectly in sync just like the stars on the night sky above them. They broke the kiss. Both of the smiling.

"We should probably get out."she whispered.

They got out of the pool, taking each of them a towel from the deck chairs. With their hands in touch, they got inside the hotel, and into the elevator heading towards Charles's room.

They got inside the room as Charles closed the door behind him. He took a shirt and a pair of shorts and went into the bathroom to change.

As he got out of the bathroom,he opened his suitcase trying to find something for her to wear. He gave her a Ferrari sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants. A moment later she went into the bathroom to change and he sat on the bed scrolling through his phone. He looked up as he heard the bathroom door open. His clothes were a little big on her and her long, brown hair was in a braid. She looked so beautiful.

He got up walking towards her. He took her hand in his, interwining their fingers together. "Stay tonight here with me" he said to her. His green eyes meeting her brown ones.
"Okay" she said, before hugging him.

He hugged her back. They stayed like that for a moment. Both of them feeling at peace.He broke the hug and started walking towards the bed as she followed behind him.

He layed on the bed. Her doing the same behind him. They cuddled and kissed all the night. Talking from time to time. Until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Charles felt so lucky, holding the brunette girl into his arms. He was falling, hard. But he didn't think about that at the moment. The only thought on his mind, the girl in his arms.Everything was perfect.
