"Please tell me what to do." after agreeing to meet with me, I went to the Mercedes place and as soon we were alone I started explaining everything that was on my mind. He already knew most of the story so it was easier.
"Honestly that's something you should decide Valentina. You guys have history there's no need to deny that. Now it's up to you if you want to keep things like these. To be fair I think that if you want to fully move on you should talk with him and maybe hear his side."
"But what if I just end up getting hurt again..."
"I'll be by your side to cheer you up. I believe that if you talk to him, it will eventually help you with keeping things professional in the future." I sighed, he was right. Even if will be hard I need to clear my mind about the Charles situation and the best option is by having a conversation with him...
"Thank you for always listening to me Lewis."
"Any time little Wolff." he ruffled my hair and we walked out of where we were. As soon as we step out I see Charles looking at us surprised, behind him were a few reporters and photographers.
"Lewis who is that? Are you dating Toto's daughter? When did it started? Does her father approve?" they started questioning at the same time, I covered behind Lewis. Charles stayed there but now with an annoyed face, he looks at my hair and then rolled his eyes and left. I didn't understand what he meant until I looked at my hair through my phone. This situation... was not good.

"So tell me exactly what happened?" I gulp, we did nothing wrong yet this could easily be misunderstood. Me and Lewis know each other for quite some time and are pretty close. We just left a room, where only the two of us were, and my hair was messy.
"I needed someone to talk to about... a problem and Lewis is my best friend and only one available at the moment."
"The messed up hair was my fault, I ruffled before we left." this is so awkward. I have to explain to my father that I wasn't having any kind of romantic relationship with his number 1 driver...
"Very well. You guys know how the media are, be careful to avoid any misunderstandings." I agreed and rushed outside the meeting room.
I now need to find Charles... Even if it might not be the right timing, I need to tell him that I need to talk to him.
I went to the Ferrari spot and they told me he was in his driver room. I knocked and nothing. I tried again and the door opens. I am greeted with an annoyed Charles.
"What?" what a nice way to greet someone "Our next therapy session is tomorrow."
"Yes I know, but is it possible for us to talk? It can be at another time if I'm bothering you-"
"Any problems with my physical condition?" I shake my head denying it "Do you need to reschedule any session?" I deny again "Then what possibly could we need to talk?" I'm left speechless. I made the effort to come here to clarify things between us and honestly giving him what he has been waiting all this time, but he is being like this out of nowhere?! "Go to your friend, since it appeared you were interrupted last time." what? Has he actually gone mad- wait... He's jealous?!
"Charles-"
"If that's all see you tomorrow Doctor." he closes the door harshly. I got the answer that I needed. He is respecting my decision, fine, I guess it will stay like this then.

qualifying ꕤ day
Before the qualifying I did the usual exercises and treatments with Charles. It's been a few days since our "confrontation" and we didn't shared any word besides: morning and see you tomorrow.
I'm mad. I'm doing my best to hide it, but I'm honestly struggling. This guy shouldn't be fucking mad! I have reasons to be!
"You're hurting me." he says but I continue "Valentina." I don't hear him call, distracted by my own thoughts "Ouch stop!" he yells and distance himself from me "I told you you were hurting me!"
"Deal with it! Next time be more careful and listen to those that are trying to help you!" I yell back.
We look into each other's eyes, clearly both extremely angry. Our faces inches apart, I can feel his quick breathing and he must also be feeling mine.
"Charles-"
