STAY THE NIGHT || Charles Leclerc

THIRTY THREE

"CHARLES MARC HERVE PERCEVAL LECLERC!" I shouted from the water "I am SO going to kill you!"

Charles poked his head over the side of the yacht as I began to swim my way back towards the boat, a wide grin on his face.

"I thought you said you wanted a swim?" he smiled

Pulling myself out of the water and up onto the boat, I glared at Charles. "You. Are. So. Finished." I said to him.

Sticking his tongue out at me cheekily first, Charles turned and ran away from me. Standing up, it wasn't long before I sprinted after the driver, eager to get him back after throwing me into the water.

I rounded the corner sharply, almost slipping due to my wet feet on the deck of the boat. Charles was stood a few meters away from me, his hands held up in surrender. He took a step towards me, wincing as he did so.

"You win Ol. You win" he began "I think I twisted my ankle as I came around the corner, so I guess the chase is over."

"Shit, Charlie. Are you okay?" I asked, taking a step towards him

"Yeah... yeah I'll be okay" he took another step forward, wincing in pain again "I'll be fine Ol"

"Are you sure? I mean, you look like you're in a lot of pain Charles. Maybe we should get it checked out at a hospi-"

My sentence was cut short, turning into a scream. As I was speaking, I had taken another step closer to Charles, closing the gap between us a little bit further. It meant that I'd been close enough to fall into his trap, unable to react quickly enough as he grabbed my legs, swinging me over his shoulder.

"Charles!" I screamed "You cheeky little... Put me down!"

Charles lifted me back off of his shoulder, instead holding me in a bridal style across his chest, which now had little droplets of water sitting on it from my body.

"Whatever you say, princess" he said

I thought that he would put me down then, that our little game would be over. But he didn't. Our eyes were locked together, in a trance. We were both smiling at each other sweetly, everything else seemed to have just fallen away. My arm was resting around his neck, my fingertips in the roots of his hair.

"Those eyes" I thought to myself.

"Am I interrupting?" Pierre's voice broke the silence, along with the shutter sound of his phone taking a photo of the two of us

"Nah, we're cool" Charles said, almost dropping me to the floor, still smiling at me "Right Ol?"

"Yeah we're... we're good" I said, smiling back at him

A/N: Wanted to upload this chapter last week, but I decided to make some edits because I wanted this chapter to be perfect. Charles and Olly needed a little nudge, they can't stay friends forever... or can they?

I feel like I've been so inactive on here for so long now. I've not been writing as much, and I've barely been reading any fics either. So, as I've just finished reading my current story, please give me some recommendations on what to start next! Whether it's your own story, one which you've just started, or a story that you think about all the time even though you finished it six months ago, drop a comment here or dm me and let me know!

(Whilst we're on the topic of Wattpad stories, I can definitely recommend 'Delilah' by f1fans_ofcc !)

See you guys next week! (Hopefully... lol)
