Picture Perfect || Charles Leclerc

Part Nine ✨

The following morning I woke up and flew back to Monaco with Lando. He drove me to my appartment and we bid our goodbyes. The first race is in three weeks so we decided to hang out in the mean time.

I unpacked my stuff and threw all of my clothes in the washing machine. I want to eat something but I think everything in my fridge is expired or it's completely empty.

I went on my way to the nearest grocery store by foot. And that's when I walked into him.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked Charles but he just ignored me.

"Hello? Am I invisible to you?" I asked him again.

This time he turned to me and looked at me blankly. I don't know what's gotten into him.

"Don't talk to me you liar" Charles walked off

What? What does he mean?

I ran after him and catched up with him.

"Charles what do you mean! I didn't lie about anything!"

"You mean you lied about everything. You even kissed Lando yesterday night after our confession." He walked away from me again.

This time I was not running after him anymore. What the fuck did he mean.

Everything I said to him is true. I love him. Just like he said; always have, always will. And about the Lando part, I kissed him in the club because of a dare almost a week ago. Don't even get me started on the fact he actually had sex with someone after our confession.

I'm not the one to blame here.

I walked back to my appartment and put my groceries in the kitchen.

Not much later I was begging tagged in a post again. Gosh, I know exactly what this is going to be.

I opened it and was met with Lando and me kissing in the club. It was almost a week ago, however the caption said; " Lando and Shannon kissing in a club yesterday night "

Why am I always the target?

I didn't waste any time and stormed to Charles' appartment. I rapidly knocked on the door and it opened after a while. Except there was someone I didn't expect to see.

Charlotte.

What the fuck is she doing here.

"What are you doing here slut?"

"I came for Charles, not for you." I decided to ignore her little shit comment.

"Yeah, I figured. BABY COME HERE!" She yelled. Baby?

"Why are you in my sight again?" Charles harshly asked me. There was no need to be like this.

"Can we please talk outside? I will be short."

"Ugh fine." He walked with me like it was the worst thing in the world.

"So, talk." He barked at me.

"I have no idea why you're being like this, but i think it had something to do with Charlotte. Again. When will you stop believing her instead of me? Me saying I love you is not something that I do every day!"

"Yeah, sure." He just responded this.

"Maybe it's time to get your head out of your ass and be careful with people that genuinly care for you. You literally were there when I kissed Lando, which was a game. I kissed him so that I would maybe get rid of my feeling for you. But hey, guess what! They didn't go away. It was almost a week ago! Yesterday I spent the night with him because you let me down! You thought it was more important to pity fuck some girl!" Right now I was boiling with anger.

"I'll be honest with you, even if I don't have to. Lando TRIED to kiss me last night but I declined him. I told him about our day and he understood. The only person I wanna be kissing is you, but your head is constantly all over the place!"

"I'm sorry I was such a dick again. I don't know why she makes me believe her. I also should've never fucked that girl. I'm so sorry" Tears started to form in the corner of his eyes.

"Damn right you were. It's time to get your shit together! Don't treat people close to you like this. I'll see you at the first race." I walked away from him but he pulled my arm to stop me from doing so.

"Amour, No. Please talk to me. I love you!" I shook my head.

"Charles, as much as I want to, you have to get your feelings straight first." I gave his shoulder a squeeze and gave him a apologetic smile.

I walked back to my appartment, glad I finally got this off my chest.

When I arrived home, I remembered I still had to call Isa which I promised yesterday.

She picked up immediately and she could tell something was off. She could read me like a book, even if she wasn't here.

I told her the whole story and felt my heart clench a little.

"Babe, you and him will find your way back to each other again. On the first race, he sorted out everything and he will be at your side again."

"Okay yeah I guess you're right. Thanks!" She hung up and I went on with my day.

Later on I got a call from Pierre. He asked me if I wanted to join them at the club tonight. And ofcourse I agreed to that offer. I'm fucking ready to get shitfaced. I called Maud and she agreed to come with.
