love at first sight?

up and down

*Ivy*

Charles and I are laying in bed. Yeah, we did have a good session of sex. It was great. Even better than great. "How do I even deserve you", Charles smiles at me and pulls me closer. We're still both naked. His arms are tightly wrapped around me. "Was I this good?" I tease him and chuckle. "You were", he admits and places a kiss on my temple. I blush a little. My thoughts wander to Isa. I really hope she got laid too. She really did seem worried and sad with their situation. I didn't know that being intimate would be some kind of problem in their relationship. "What are you thinking about, mon cœur?", Charles must've noticed my mental absence. I smile a little. "I'm thinking about Isa and Carlos", I tell him and see him raising an eyebrow. "Tell me", he says so that I move on. "Isa told me that they're not really having sex and thought it's her fault because Carlos doesn't like the way she looks or so. So I told her it's not her fault and that she should put on some dessous and spice things up", I say and draw some hearts on his skin with my finger. "I never thought that this would be a problem for them", he says. "Yeah, me too", I agree with him. "Did she give you some tips too?", he carefully asks and I see him blush a little. I know why he's asking. He wants to know if I'm not content with our sex life either. Or if there's something bothering me. "No, she didn't have to. I'm very happy", I say to assure him and place a kiss on his shoulder. "I like that", he smirks and pulls me closer to press a kiss on my forehead.

"Are you ready, mon cœur?", Charles asks as I'm standing in front of the mirror. I'm still trying to convince myself that the dark green dress I'm wearing suits me. "I don't know if I like this dress", I say brushing over it with my hands. "You. Look. Gorgeous", Charles says pressing a kiss on my neck after every word. It makes me giggle. I admire how he always makes me happy even if I'm hating myself. He takes my hand and we leave our room. Our fingers intertwine with each other. "Should we wait for them?", Charles asks as we stand in front of Carlos' and Isa's room. "No, let's go down already. They need some alone time", I say and chuckle when Charles pulls a gross face. "How's your ankle?", he asks as we enter the elevator. "Better already, no need to worry", I assure him and it's the truth this time. With the bandage around my ankle I can even walk normal again. It doesn't even hurt anymore. "I like to hear that", he smiles and takes my hand again when we arrive on the ground floor where the restaurant is located. The gentleman he is he even pulls back the chair for me. "Should we wait for them to order?", Charles asks putting his hand on my thigh. He sits next to me so that Carlos and Isa can sit next to each other in front of us. "I think we should", I chuckle because Charles seems to be very hungry. "Alright", he sighs drawing some circles on my thigh with his finger. "Are you happy?", Charles suddenly asks. He catches me off guard a little, I did not expect such question. I thought he knew that I'm happy with him. I really am, sometimes I just miss my old life without any cameras around me all the time. "Yes, I am. Why are you asking?", I answer laying my hand on his to reassure him I'm okay. "Sometimes you seem a little annoyed or unhappy", he explains looking down on our hands. "Sometimes I'm just a little overwhelmed with all the noises and cameras around me, but I'm not annoyed or unhappy. But maybe I just miss my dad sometimes, we talk on the phone but it's not the same you know? I was used to have him around everyday and now I don't even really see him anymore", I tell him laying my head on his shoulder. I've never told him that I miss my home in London sometimes, I always thought I should deal with it on my own. "I know, I'm sorry you don't see him often. We could invite him to the next race", he says and kisses my temple. "I'll ask him if he'd like to come", I say sitting up straight again. "My brothers and my mum will be there too so maybe it's a nice idea to have them all by our side", he says. The next race is in Barcelona. "That'd be great", I smile and take his hand. We get interrupted by Carlos and Isa who are coming towards us, holding hands and laughing. All lovey dovey. Charles and I exchange a quick smile with each other before we get up to hug them. "How was it?", I quietly ask Isa when I hug her. "Amazing", she smiles. She beams in happiness which makes me happy too. We sit down and order our food.
