Amelie's POV
As soon as the sunlight falling through the window hits my skin, I'm wide awake. Last night's dinner having taken a very prominent spot in my mind and dreams.

I turn around in my bed, setting my glasses on my face so I can take in my surroundings a bit better. I grab my phone from my night stand, noticing I've got a message from Charles already.

Charles: 'awake already. Apparently we were indeed spotted at dinner. Got Ferrari PR taking care of it.'

Charles: 'Also good morning beautiful 😘 hope you slept as well as I did.'

I smile at the messages on my screen, leaving them on read no longer than necessary and letting my fingers type a response.

Amelie: 'Good morning😘 I slept great! Thanks for taking care of the articles 🙂'

I take this moment to catch up with Lila a bit, before my FaceTime call is interrupted by a messages from Charles again.

Charles: 'didn't want to interrupt your FaceTime call but care to join me in the gym? The Alpine guys are busy doing more marketing stuff over Zoom.'

I smile at the message, Lila immediately catching up to what is happening. "Go and be with loverboy, I'll keep my mouth shut." She says smiling, and I just nod before saying good bye to her.

I scan through my wardrobe, suddenly very conscious about what to wear for this work out. And while I know all boys are very comfortable with me wearing shorts and a sports bra, but somehow I can't help but cover up a bit more now.

I know Pierre will be keeping an eye on us and I'll have to try and keep his suspicions to a minimum. I quickly text Charles back, before changing into my workout clothes.

Amelie: 'I'm getting dressed, be right there 🙂'

I decide to go for one of my PSG jerseys, trying to slightly manifest the fact that I'll be wearing this a lot more in the coming months. I slip my trainers on my feet, before I walk out the door. I immediately notice Pierre and Esteban both behind their laptops, participating in some kind of quiz. I then notice Charles laying on one of the sofas. We make eye contact as I raise my eyebrows at him, as to say 'are you coming?'. Charles is quick to his feet, walking towards the gym. I quickly send Pierre a text that we're going for a workout, so we'll let him and Esteban be.

"I'm mostly gonna do strength." Charles states as we walk into the gym. "But feel free to go and do all the cardio and conditioning you want."

"Who says I was planning on doing conditioning again today?" I tell him raising my eyebrows while grabbing some weights. "Running is not all I do."

I start the long list of exercises in my head, each and everyone burned into my brain. I try to focus on my exercises, while I notice Charles' is doing something far from that. His eyes were primarily focussed on me. "Anything you need?" I ask while switching positions to go and do some sit ups.

"Uh, no." He says scratching the back of his neck lightly. "Well uh, maybe could you spot me? I could do the same for you."

I smile at how nervous he babbles, clearly unsure of how to act. "All you had to do was ask." I tell him, finishing my first set of sit ups. "Of course I can spot you." I stand up again to go and do what Charles asked of me.

We switch places after that, making a small routine out of it. The two of us going through the different exercises together. Sometimes he'd follow mine while I would follow his lead at the next exercise. We've been going at it for almost an hour when Esteban and Pierre decide to join us in the gym too. Pierre pulling me towards he pool area, so that we're away from Charles and Esteban.
