Summer Roadtrip | A Charles Leclerc lovestory

Chapter 2 | What's next

The next day, Sophia woke up next to Emily who was still asleep. She couldn't help but think about the young man she had met the night before. She wondered if he would text her, or if it was just a fleeting encounter that would fade away with the morning sun. She went on her phone and saw all the pictures they took last night. She couldn't remember everything as clear as she would have liked as she felt the headache kicking in. She was swiping through the pictures in their group chat until she saw one of her with Charles dancing. She zoomed in on his face and got the tingling feeling again. She felt Emily waking up and turned around next to her. She looked at Emily who was clearly also surprised by the headache she woke up with. "Morning sunshine" ,Sophia said. "Morning, pff do you also have such a headache" Emily replied. Sophia chuckled, "Yea we hit it harder than we thought yesterday."

The girls made their way to the kitchen where they found Sarah and Jess. "Morning girls, did you sleep well" ,Jess greeted them. "Slept well, but this headache ugh" Emily said with a grumpy morning voice. Sarah was backing omlettes for the others and she handed Sophia her plate, "Here you go". They sat down at the kitchen table. "So tell us all about this brown haired boy Soph" Jess asked. Sophia felt her cheeks starting to turn red. She chuckled, "Yes that was a bit unexpected". The girl was looking at her with big eyes, wanting her to continue telling about Charles. "So his name is Charles, he actually lives in Monaco and he mentioned he drives cars for his job". "So he is a taxi driver?" Sarah asked. "No they were expensive cars he said, but he was a bit vague about it and I also wasn't sharp enough to ask critical questions" Sophia replied. "Interesting, well we all saw what happened after" Jess said with a smirk on her face. Sophia started blushing again. "There was quite some attraction the whole night and at the end he kissed me and I really enjoyed it" Sophia replied. "Yes we saw that for sure" Emily chuckled. "And you gave him your number as well, right?" Sarah asked. "Yes I did, but I don't know if he will even text me" Sophia replied. "But what about you girls? I saw Emily getting cozy as well." Sophia said. The girls continued discussing their night out and the things that happened.

Sophia couldn't help feeling a bit gutted when she zipped her suitcase closed later that morning. She knew they would only stay in Monaco for one night and the girls had already planned their next stay. She also was curious if Charles would even text her after giving him her number. He would probably be down with a similar headache she had as he kept getting them both more drinks.

The girls checked out and made their way to the car. They put their suitcases in the booth, which only just fit all the stuff they brought. Their next stop was Nice, which was only a 45 minute drive from Monaco. Sophia was sitting in the back with Jess and Emily was behind the wheel with Sarah next to her giving directions. Sophia was looking out the window at the beautiful views of the French coast. Her thoughts kept drifting off to those green eyes she could stop looking at last night. She could still feel his hands on her waist and his lips on hers. However it also made her very confused. How could she be so sad about her ex-boyfriend yesterday and now all of a sudden be head over heels with this new boy. She tried shaking it off and grabbed her phone. She got nervous, because maybe he had contacted her. She tapped the screen and there were no notifications. She wanted to know what he was up to, but there was no way for her to contact him. How was she supposed to find this specific Charles in Monaco?

After the short drive they parked the car in the same street as their AirBnB. They took their suitcases and dropped them in the apartment. They took out their bikinis, towels and other beach necessities. They all changed and made their way to the beach. Their apartment was quite far from the centre, but close to the beach.

They enjoyed the warm sun on their skins. This was the perfect place to get rid of their hangover. Sophia started reading her book and listening to some music. She couldn't stop herself from checking her phone a little more than she normally would. So she grabbed it another time to change to the next podcast and hopefully a message from Charles.
