Picture Perfect || Charles Leclerc

Part Seven ✨

I woke up the next morning completely oblivious to the fact what happened last night. I opened my eyes and realised I wasn't alone in my bed. His hands were firmly wrapped around my waist and his breathing was steady. There was no way he was loosening his grip on me.

I looked up to see Charles' face. Suddenly the memories came flooding back from yesterday night. I felt so safe when I was in his arms, I never wanted this moment to end.

I wonder what his reaction will be if he realizes he is in a bed with me, his PR manager, instead of his girlfriend.

Before I could get lost in my thoughts again, Charles started shifting besides me. He opened his eyes and catched me staring at him.

'Like what you see?' He's not even awake for 2 seconds and he's teasing me already. I'm not complaining tho.

'Mhmm' I confessed to him. I saw a pink colour creep up to his cheeks.

'Same goes for me, beautiful' He wasn't the only one who was blushing anymore.

I'm not sure what to feel anymore. Being this close to him gives me a tingling feeling in my stomach.

'Can we eat something together and maybe talk about us?' Charles proposed.

'Us?' I asked him confused. He doesn't even seem to care for his girlfriend.

'About all the things that happened to us. I want you in my life for good, bella'

'Okay yeah I guess we can do that' I'm still not sure but it's the least i can do for him after last night.

'Do you need to shower? You can do it here if you want?' I asked him still a bit awkward.

'That would be nice if you don't mind. Then you can get ready while I'm in the shower' Gosh, we act like a married couple. I don't mind that ofcourse. Imagine him standing there at the altar.

Charles jumped out of bed and hurried in the shower. I got dressed into a red dress and decided I would let my hair down today. I put on my sneakers and applied some mascara.

When I was looking for my purse, the bathroom door opened and it reaveled Charles with only a towel wrapped around his waist. His abs still glistening from the damp shower.

Holy fuck.

How bad I want to pull that towel away is unreal.

He is unreal.

'My eyes are up here, darling' Fuck, he catched me staring. I swallowed deeply and tore my eyes away from his body.

'Sorry, didn't realise' I started blushing like a fool so I got busy with looking for my purse again.

'Sure you didn't' He chuckled.

He got dressed and ruffled his hair.

'Are you ready Shannie?' Oh. He called me that when we were still kids. That hits.

'Uh.. Yes. Where are we going?'

'You'll see!' He knew I hated when I didn't know where we were going. Like I said, he won't stop teasing me.

'Okay, ugly face, pleaseeee tell me!' Maybe this was convincing.

'That's not what your intensive stare said this morning' He winked at me again.

I knew I wasn't getting an answer out of him, so I decided to just let it go. We got into his car and he gave me his phone. I took this as a hint to put on some music. I put on hymn for the weekend by coldplay. It has always been our song and I wanted to see his reaction.
