Bonjour ma chérie || Charles Leclerc

•Chapter 12•

°I said, "No one has to know what we do"His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room And his voice is a familiar sound Nothing lasts forever But this is getting good now He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request is Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams°

Diana entered the café area where she saw many people wearing the red Ferrari t-shirts. She spotted the only girl who wasn't wearing anything like that and approached her.

"Hey, are you Isa?" Diana asked.

The woman turned to her as soon as she heard her voice.

"Yes! Have we met before?" She asked.

"Oh no, we haven't. Carlos told me you would be here and I thought it would be nice to meet you. I'm Diana, Charles' girlfriend." She said, being a bit shocked with the girlfriend part. She hadn't realized it yet.

"Oh, it's very nice to meet you. Please take a seat." She said and smiled.

Diana sat and ordered a chocolate milkshake.

"So how did you meet Charles, Diana? I can't remember him mentioning you some weeks ago."

"Oh, that's the interesting part, actually. So about one week and a half ago I arrived with my best friends at Monaco. We managed to go on vacation together after a long time due to work and responsibilities. So one night, six days ago we went to a club and that's where we met. We had a few drinks, both of us, and the next thing I could remember was waking up in his room."

"So it looked like a one night stand at the moment, right?" She asked, and she was definitely very interested in what Diana was saying.

"Yes, that's what I thought. But he was the one who said that he wasn't willing to let that be just a one night stand. And here we are." Diana said.

"Did you know who he was?" Isa asked.

"To be honest, I had zero idea. I was a fan of Vettel growing up, but I hadn't watched a single race for years. My brother, though, is a big fan of his."

"Does your brother know about this?"

"Yes, I told him, and he was pretty shocked," Diana said and giggled.

"You can not blame him!" Isa said.

The girls kept talking for about an hour. Diana really liked her vibe and believed that they would get along pretty well.

Suddenly, Carlos and Charles rushed into the room and spotted their table.

"Are we late?" Carlos asked, being out of breath.

"No, mi amor, but we better leave now," Isa replied.

The four of them got out of the building and walked the place where the press conference was going to be headed.

Since Diana was a rookie here, Isa took her by her hand and took her to an area where there were a lot of chairs. This was the audience. They sat, and the view was perfect. They were able to see their boyfriend sitting on the couch up there.

That's when the reporters, the journalists, and the rest of the drivers started gathering. After a couple of minutes, everyone was in their place.

The reporters started asking questions in the order that they had decided in advance. The first questions were mostly for the red-bull drivers since they were leaving both championships.

After some time, someone finally asked a question for the ferrari drivers. They were asked to give some further information about the car upgrades. They both seemed a bit nervous, but they managed to give a complete answer.

Isa seemed nervous, too, judging from her sweaty hands.

Suddenly, a young reporter spoke.

"So this question is for Charles. Charles, you were spotted earlier in the paddock with a lady we've never seen before. Do you mind telling us what is going on?" The reporter asked and smirked, knowing that this question wasn't really relevant with the subject.

Charles laughed nervously and put the microphone closer to his mouth.

"I don't know why my personal life is so interesting, but if the people really want to know, Diana is my partner. In my opinion though, focusing on our job and the sport is much more relevant than the driver's love life." He said and looked at Diana.

Diana smiled, and she was visibly proud of him.

The press conference ended after a while, and everyone started leaving the paddock. Charles got down and walked straight to Diana with Carlos following him.

Charles and Diana hugged immediately.

"I'm so proud of you," Diana said.

"They are so in love, and they have no idea," Isa whispered to carlos's ear, and he nodded in agreement.

Someone approached them, and after saying hi to Isa and Carlos while Charles turned around when he heard his voice.

"Hellow mate!" Charles said.

"Hello Chuck!" The man said.

"Diana, this is Max. He is a red-bull driver, " Charles introduced him.

"It's nice to meet you Max", Diana said, and Max smiled.

Afte a bit of a chit-chat Max left and after saying good-bye to the other couple Charles and Diana headed to the exit of the paddock. That's where Charles saw another driver, and they hugged immediately.

Diana had realized that they were very close by the way they were talking.

"Where have you been, Charlie?" The man complained. "I didn't get the chance to see you in Monaco despite the spring break!" He added.

"Well mate, something new entered my life recently." Charles said and laughed.

"Ah une fille bien sûr!" He said in French. "It's nice to meet you, Diana. I'm Pierre." The man finally introduced himself.

"We've been friends since we were very little," Charles commented.

"It's nice to meet you, Pierre!"

After a long day in the paddock, they finally left. They were very hungry, so they got in the car, and Charles started driving immediately.
