Charles: Where are you?
You: I was at a meeting :) *you sent a photo of your new phone cases*
Charles: I love them!
You: Me too <3 What's going on?
Charles: Me and Carlos are bored, wanna come over?
You: I'm headed to the next meeting with a clothing brand but I can go after.
Charles: We'll see you here :)
When you got in the car, you opened Instagram and recorded a video expressing how much you loved the phone cases and mentioning the collaboration with the brand. You uploaded the video, tagged the brand, and attached the collage case with photos of Lando to your phone. You also took a photo in the rearview mirror and uploaded it, tagging Lando. You got a notification that he reposted your story and got a text from him.
Lando: I love the case!!
You: Me too! I'm collaborating with that brand, I love that they made them so personal *you sent a photo of the other one*
Lando: Aw, that one's cute too.
You set the GPS on your phone and headed to the next meeting, feeling happy and productive. Upon arriving at the meeting, you were greeted with snacks and a coffee. They sure know how to treat people well. They offered you a tight black dress, and you tried it on. With every movement you made, the dress sparkled. It had long sleeves, was short in length, and looked very beautiful. They also gave you a pair of jeans, two sweatshirts, and a cap with your last name and birth date embroidered on it: Leclerc 10.
As you were leaving the building, you noticed someone familiar. You approached, and yes, it was Charlotte.
-Hey Char!! What are you doing here??
-Y/n! I had a meeting for a project I'm working on. -She smiled. -I love your cap!
-Thank you! I'm collaborating with the brand and also, look at this. -You said and showed her the case.
-That's so cute! I'm sure Lando loves it.
-He does! I was here for a meeting actually and now I'm going to my brother's apartment, hey, do you wanna come? I'm sure he'd love to see you.
-Yes! Let me cancel my uber.
You walked towards where the car was parked, got in, and you played some music. The windows were rolled down, and you started driving. The wind was hitting your faces, and you were enjoying it. As each minute passed, it got colder. After about three songs, you arrived at your brother's apartment. You got out of the car, walked up to the door, and rang the bell, waiting for someone to answer.
-Heeey! Y/n and...Charlotte! What are you doing here? -Charles hugged her.
-We ran into each other, I hope it's okay that I came.
-Are you kidding? You already made my day better, come in.
-Is Carlos here too? -You asked looking for him with your eyes.
-Yeah, well, he went to get coffee for all of us, why? Do you already miss him? -Charles made fun of you.
-Shut your mouth.
-She's with Lando, what are you saying? -Charlotte said confused.
-Can I tell her???? Pleeease. -He begged.
-Fine but Charlotte, you and my brother are the only ones that know, okay? I trust you.
Charles started telling Charlotte everything that had happened with Carlos. Everything you had shared with Charles, he was now sharing with her. Of course, you trusted her, but you both agreed to keep it between yourselves. You were already quite confused, and opening up about it was a way to seek some clarity and support. You heard your phone ringing and went to grab it from the counter. It was Carlos.
-Hello?
-Are you with Charles?
-Yeah, just got here, why?
-He's not answering, can you help me down here?
-Yeah, be right there. -You hung up. -Stop talking! Carlos is here.
You went downstairs to see what Carlos needed help with. You saw him still inside the car and approached him, giving him a smile. He opened the door, and you noticed he had a bag and too many coffees for just four people.
-You realize we're only 4 right? -You said mocking him.
-Yeah I know, I didn't know which one you wanted, you like so many drinks so I brought you an iced caramel macchiato, an iced vanilla latte and a hot chocolate and they didn't have a tray. -He blushed.
-How do you know these are my favorite drinks? -You said with a big smile on your face.
-You've been in my life for so long, I notice these kind of things, I notice you. I also brought you a donut, a cheesecake and a croissant, I didn't know if you wanted all that sugar so the croissant just in case.
-Carlos! -You kissed him on the cheek.
-You're welcome, niña.
You helped Carlos carry the coffees inside, and as you entered, you noticed Charles and Charlotte peeking through the window. They quickly settled on the couch as if nothing had happened. You rolled your eyes, and Carlos laughed. You put the cheesecake and the iced latte in the refrigerator and sat down with your donut and iced caramel macchiato, while Carlos sat next to you.
-What are we watching? -Charlotte said putting her head in Charles' shoulder.
-We should watch a scary movie...The Conjuring! We should watch all of them. -You said.
-It's getting dark, sis...
-Don't be a coward! C'mon, we'll turn off the lights, get some blankets -You smiled.
-Carlos? Back me up a little...
-Sorry mate, I'm not scared, unlike you.
-Okay! We'll watch them, jeez.
Charles grabbed two blankets, gave one to you, and kept the other for himself. Carlos turned off the lights and sat back down next to you. You played the movie on Netflix and it began. You noticed how Charles made himself small and cuddled with Charlotte, covering both of them with the blanket. You glanced at Carlos and placed the blanket over your legs and his.
The tension and suspense filled the room. Every intense or unexpected scene made everyone jump, and you noticed how Charles and Charlotte held each other a little tighter. You realized that you had intertwined your arm with Carlos', and you were quite close. Instantly, you withdrew your arm.
-It's okay, I don't mind. -Carlos noticed.
His words made you feel more at ease, and you both continued watching the movie. As the film progressed, the atmosphere became more thrilling, and you found yourself leaning in closer to Carlos, gradually allowing your arms to touch once again. There was a sense of comfort, you let yourself be carried away by the moment and rested your head on his shoulder. You felt him tilt his head and rest it against yours.
The credits rolled and the movie ended. Charles went to turn on the lights, his face looking terrified.
-Never again!! I hate you Y/n Leclerc. -You burst into laughter.
-It wasn't that bad. -Carlos supported you.
-Thank you Carlos.
-We're going to my room, tomorrow I have an interview and if I'm not able to get some sleep and rest, it's on you. -He pointed at you.
-Charlotte will take care of you, little boy.
-Yes I am! -Charlotte kissed Charles.
-Okay now, too much information!
