Make the impossible, possible

12:47a.m,Charles hotel room

How can someone's whole presence change another person's whole life? How can someone have such an impact on someone else's life even if they don't know it?But still we allow it to happen, as humans. It's in our nature. It's in our nature to either accept or deny our feelings, even if it's joy or sadness we humans choose to either accept and embrace them or keep denying that they exist and keep suffering.

But Charles hadn't chose to suffer. He got used to the butterflies in his stomach every time he saw her. He got used to his breath catching in his throat every time his eyes met hers. He got used to the tickling feeling he felt on his mind every time his lips touched hers, his skin met hers.

He had embraced those feelings, grew to like them while he fell more and more for the brunette girl inside his arms. Every time he held her he felt like he held the world. Looking down at her he smiled. Can a man be happier? 

"It's our last days together before I go back to Greece and you return back to Monaco." the girl he cuddled said turning to look at him, making eye contact. The green of the forest meeting the brown of the mountains.
"I can't believe 4 days had passed by" but it was true, and it hurt both of them.

"I wish you could come back to Monaco with me" he blurred out, without thinking, his eyes widening at the realization of what he had just said. He looked at her not breaking eye contact. Taking a deep breath he stroked her hair with his right hand. Being sure of what he is going to say this time he opened his mouth to speak."I actually wish this could happen" he whispered, sure of his words but also careful for the girl's response.

"I've never actually been to Monaco.I mean yes I've been there for races in the past but I've never actually had the time to see it." the girl responded back. Now sitting on the bed, in front of him. Him still laying down.

"I wish you could come with me. I would take you everywhere. You would have the chance to actually see Monaco" he replied still looking at her eyes.
"Maybe someday in the future" he continued.

"Maybe someday in the future" she said back. Her head now resting on top of his chest, thinking that it actually would be nice going to Monaco with him.

He wrapped his hands around her. "And you would cook for me while I played the piano.Just like we talked about. Do you remember?" he said mentioning what they talked about in a conversation they had a while ago.
"I do remember.We promised" she said before she closed her eyes, slowly drifting off and falling asleep inside the arms of the green eyed man, him falling asleep too a few moments later.

8:03 p.m, Lydia's hotel room

"I'm downstairs" Lydia looked at the notification on her phone as she pushed the button, closing the screen, putting her jacket on,picking up her purse and closing the door behind her moving towards the elevator.

Charles told her that he would take her on a date for their last day in Italy together. Tomorrow they would part their ways returning back to their home countries, with him leaving for Monaco first at 12 p.m.

It was their last day together and he wanted to make the most out of it as the brunette man didn't know when he would see the girl he felt so much for again. So after their last work meeting together in Maranello he texted her saying that they would go later that night together on a date. 

Right now he waited outside of the brunette girl's hotel. His body resting on the car looking at the hotel door waiting to see the familiar figure of the girl he grew to like.Coming out of the hotel Lydia walked over to him, hugging him. A moment later both of them getting inside the car, careful to not get any attention.

They didn't want any rumors going around. Yes they had something but neither of them cared to sort out what that something was. They just had fun together, they brought joy to each other. That's all that mattered. After all they were teammates now, they worked together and that couldn't stop but complicate things more. 

After greeting each other with a kiss both of them longed Charles started driving towards their destination. They went to classic Italian restaurant this time. Much different than the one they went to a few days ago.

They got inside the restaurant the smell of the Italian food filling both of their noses. It wasn't filled with people because many people didn't knew about it actually, and that was one of the reasons Charles liked it.

Charles went there for the first time with his father. He was 9 years old and since that day it was engraved in Charles's memory. That's why Charles brought there only important people in his life, and so was the brunette girl that hold his hand.  

They sat at a table in the back, not wanting to attract any attention. They ate their food and drunk red wine as they talked, both of them knowing well these were one of the last few moments they had together before god knows when they would meet again. 

They left the restaurant with their stomachs full and got inside the car. Charles driving off towards the girl's hotel. But neither of them was ready to say goodbye yet.

Arriving at the hotel, Charles stopped the car turning to look at the girl.
"So that's the part we have to say goodnight I guess"
"I'm not ready to say goodnight yet" she said, putting her hands at the back of his neck, their foreheads now touching.
"Me too" he responded back, looking inside her eyes.
"Come upstairs with me" she whispered, still looking at him. Her voice filled with lust and her body wanting to feel his closer.

They got outside the car, getting inside the hotel and upstairs in her room as she closed the door behind her.

They started kissing, their lips moving in sync, their tongues fighting together as they craved more and more of each other. Two people craving each other's touch. Two people sharing their feelings without having to talk about them. Two people falling more and more for each other. Two people performing an act full of feelings as they kissed and touched and moved with each other.

A few moments later under the covers of her hotel room bed, they cuddled. Holding each other, smiling. And like that, both of them fell asleep. Two stars colliding with each other.

Airport,10:34 a.m 

Charles was sitting at the airport waiting. A few moments later he would be in the plane. Heading to Monaco leaving the brunette girl behind. His mind filled with the memories of their trip.

He decided to call her. Just to say goodbye. After last night he woke up this morning with the girl once again inside his arms. His skin touching hers. They cuddled a little bit before it was time for him to get up and leave because he had to get ready for his flight.

Opening his phone and then the contacts app he called her. Hoping she would answer.

"Hi" he heard her voice coming from the other line.
"Hi Lydia" he responded back.
"Is everything alright?" she asked. "Everything's okay, well... nevermind. I just wanted to say goodbye" he said. "Why?" she asked.
"Because I'm leaving and I don't know when we will meet again."
"But I know" she said. Confusion now filling Charles mind.
"What do you me-"
"Turn around" she said cutting him off. And he did. Now full in shock he saw the girl that was in his arms this morning getting closer and closer to him. 

"Hello Charles" she said. Her body now a few inches away from his.
"Hello Lydia" he said still in shock, trying to realize what is happening. "What are you doing here?" he asked her, still very confused.
"I'm going back to Monaco with you." she said with a huge smile on her face. He smiled too as he realised what was happening.Looking into her eyes excitement and joy filling his body.
"I guess that we have a flight to catch then" he said taking her hand in his, interwining their fingers together and walking towards the gate.
