Summer Roadtrip | A Charles Leclerc lovestory

Chapter 6 | What happens now?

Sophia woke up the morning after her passionate night with Charles, her body still tingling with the memories of their intimate encounter. She glanced at the clock on Charles' bedside table and realised that it was already late morning. Panic washed over her as she remembered that she needed to leave and meet her friends to check out of their hotel in Monaco.

She moved herself up from the bed and quickly noticed the headache kicking in. Charles was not laying next to her. Gently untangling herself from the sheets, Sophia slipped out of bed, seeing if she could find Charles somewhere. She quickly found her clothes scattered across the room and quietly dressed herself.

Sophia walked into the kitchen where she was greeted with the smell of omelettes. Charles looked and smiled at her. "Goodmorning, sunshine," He said. "You still look beautiful," Charles continued. "You are up early, don't you feel this headache?" She asked. "I knew you would have to get up early to get back to the hotel and I still wanted to spend some time with you." He paused "and I wanted to make a good impression by cooking you some nice eggs". "Thank you" Sophia said while walking over to Charles. He let go of the pan to pull her into a hug. "I really enjoyed last night," he said while planting a kiss on her forehead. "Yes me too, I am so sad I have to leave already" Sophia said with a sad face. "Why don't you stay longer?" Charles asked.

This was not the first time Sophia thought about the idea of staying in Monaco a bit longer. She had thought about it a couple of times the past week. She doesn't need to be back home for anything. It would only complicate things more, since she would have to figure out what she wants to do in life and what she needs to do with her ex-boyfriend David, whom she should tell Charles about.

"I don't know Charles. It feels weird to leave the girls since they planned this whole trip and I would leave them for the last part." Sophia replied.

"You can always try, maybe they are okay with it." He said. He was right, she could always ask. Her friends have always been very supportive.

"You can always stay here, you can sleep in the spare room if you want" He suggested. "No, if I'm staying I will be in the hotel, I think it is best to not move too quickly." She replied with a little wink.

They had their breakfast together at the dining room table. They chatted about what happened in the club last night and what Sophia and her friends were up to for the rest of their trip until Sophia's phone started buzzing. "Probably one of the girls." She said while picking up the phone. She was right and gave Charles a confirming nod before she picked up. It was Emily.

"Hi girl, how are you?" Emily asked. "I am really good," Sophia replied. She couldn't help but blush a little thinking back about what happened last night. "We want to hear everything. We will have to check out in about an hour so if you are heading over here soon we can pack the backs and check out." Emily said. "Yes I will be heading back in a bit. Will meet you in our room." Sophia said before hanging up the phone.

"Should I drop you off at your hotel?" Charles asked. "Hmm maybe that would be nice since I am not looking forward to this walk of shame in these heels." Sophia chuckled. They packed their things and went down to the parking garage under Charles' apartment building. He walked over to a black Ferrari with a red and white stripe over it. Sophia was in a bit of a state since she had never seen a Ferrari in real life let alone sit in one. She didn't want Charles to notice, but that was already too late. "First time in a Ferrari?" He asked while opening her door for her. Sophia nodded.

When arriving at the hotel Sophia found Jess, Sarah, and Emily in their hotel rooms, ready to head out. They greeted her with smiles, but Sophia could sense their curiosity about her night with Charles.

"Hey, Sophia! We were just about to check out," Jess said. "Did you have a good night?"

Sophia blushed, trying to hide her excitement. "Yeah, it was...amazing," she replied, a dreamy smile gracing her lips.
