Red past | Charles Leclerc

Karma

With my car being the only one with four seats, I was the one that had to drive. Arthur took the passenger seat leaving Charles in the back. The Sun was setting on the city creating a beautiful atmosphere around us.

"Cela va être amusant (This is going to be fun)," I whispered to Arthur making him chuckle.

"tu es celui qui a suggéré qu'il vienne (you're the one that suggested he come)," Arthur laughed quietly but not quiet enough.

"You both know that I can speak French right, and that I have ears?" Arthur burst out laughing, burying his head in his hands.

Arthur, impulsively clicked play on the radio, I couldn't tell whether he was happy with his choice or not but with the look he gave me, he definitely didn't think about it.

We spend the next ten minutes listening to songs, the occasional one causing Arthur to sing. When we arrive there seemed to be a lot of people already there. Music was blasting and LED lights were shining through the glass paned windows.

When I got out of the car I noticed some familiar faces on the porch. Leaving Charles and Arthur behind I walked up to my brother and his best friend.

"And what's your name again? Luke Nolan?" I laugh making making my ex boyfriend realise my presence.

"Oh my god, if it isn't Anika Verstappen," he yelled pulling me into a tight hug. Looking over Lando's shoulder, I could see the two brothers looking at us. Arthur with a smile and Charles with a look of annoyance and irritation.

"Hello? Am I ruining the reunion?" Max asks sarcastically.

I playfully push his shoulder making him stumble back.

"Are you looking forward to Saturday?" Lando asked thinking about the first qualifying of the season.

"I'm a bit nervous but I really can't wait to start a new season," I answered.

"I think everyone is nervous," Max agreed with a small chuckle.

"Lando, do you know where Oscar is?" Arthur questioned coming up to us from behind me.

"He is inside sat down talking to Yuki I think," Lando didn't seem to sure of his words.

Arthur nodded, he squeezed my arm and then made his way into the crowded house. I looked back towards the lawn to attempt to see the other brother, he wasn't there. My mind betrayed me and started wondering where he had disappeared to. I shouldn't care but I did.

"Where's Kelly and Luisa?" I asked the two best friends.

"They are at the hotel with Amanda, they didn't want to come," My brother replied.

I nodded gently, "I'm going to go find Kika," I informed them heading into the building.

The second I walked in I could see Pierre and Kika dancing in the centre of the room to the music being blasted through the speakers near the bar. Why did Danny rent a house with a bar?

"Can I steal her?" I asked Pierre giving him puppy eyes.

He frowned at me.

"Arthur is over there with Yuki and Oscar," I yelled over the music, pointing to the table they were all sat at to try and help my convincing argument.
