Call you mine - Charles Leclerc

Chapter 22

Ellie appreciated Charles' effort, but she didn't want to give in so easily. "You seriously think you can make me come with you after you've just seen me reject my ex for asking basically the exact same thing?" She asked with a raised eyebrow

"Ellie, I know your mad at me, and you have every right. But today has been shit, and I want to make it up to you, so how about you forget that you hate me for tonight, and if I can't change your mind about giving me a chance to make you forgive me after that then I'll leave you alone." He suggested, with a smirk, knowing he wouldn't back down.

"What makes you think I don't actually have plans?" She challenged

"I already called Emma and Anna and told them your plans are canceled for tonight." He smirked, which made her jaw drop.

"What? - why on earth would you do that?" She almost yelled in annoyance.

"Because like I said, I want to make it up to you. And trust me, Emma wouldn't back down before I sat through a whole interrogation and she was satisfied with my answers." He chuckled

"Who in the hell made you think this was a good idea?" She groaned

"Well, I figured you already hate my guts so there basically isn't anything to loose from trying." He simply stated

She just sighed, conflicted with her own mind. She wanted to go with him, so badly. But, she was done for today, her mind was working on overdrive. And honestly she knew she would end up falling for him, even more than she already had, if he kept this up. She kept remembering how his kisses made her feel, and how good his touch made her feel that night in Italy before everything changed. And to be honest, she wasn't sure if she was open to doing that again. Last time she leapt into something like this was Sebastian, and she still couldnt shake the nausea those memories gave her.

"Seriously Charles, I appreciate it. But I can't do this." She said looking him straight in the eye.

"You can't do what? Spend a night with me, trying to feel a little better?" He challenged with a smile

"I can't with the back and forth that your doing, I think your great and maybe some day we can be friends. But right now, your just the ass that made me interested in you, slept with me and then treated me like shit. So no, I'm sorry, but I kinda want to be alone tonight." She said standing her ground, not letting him of the hook quite so easily

"You think this is me trying to make it up to you to be your friend?" He asked, ignoring everything else she just said. She just shrugged in annoyance. "Ellie, I'm sorry about how I treated you in Italy and after. But I'm trying to show you I'm actually interested in you, I just got out of a relationship, I've been trying to convince myself that liking someone new already is crazy, but I know now that I made a stupid decision not seeing where things could lead."

"What the hell is with you and Sebastian? You think telling me all these things are automatically make me swoon over you? What is with people thinking you can treat someone like crap and that justify it with being scared of something makes it okey. I'm telling you to leave me alone. Seriously, can't you just do that?" She yelled, now at her wits end, why did both the men on her mind have to mess with her feelings on the same day. It was too much, she could feeling the tears she had been suppressing making it to the surface

"Your hurt, I get it. And I know I played a big part in that. But the look you give me when you tell me to leave tells me everything I need to know. You don't want me to leave, you just don't want to give in for me just to be an ass again." He said stepping closer to her, trying to comfort her.

"Why can't you just listen to me? It's been a hard day, and I need some time alone, can't you just please leave me alone?" She pleaded, tears spilling down her face.
