Falling for the Leclerc's

30. Rumor

  Grace's pov

Charles helped me getting my things ready and then he left to do the same with his.

I decided to head down to breakfast. I ordered a toast and then I called Arthur to tell him good morning. After we talk for awhile he asks me to fly with him.

A part of me is relieved that he asked me that so I wouldn't have to explain how Charles had already invited me.

I told him 'yes' and once I'm done with breakfast, I head to my room to get my things.

When I walk in, a bouquet of red roses is lying on my bed, with a note attached saying 'I already miss you'

Red roses are my favourite flower!

I pull my phone out of my pocket to thank Arthur for sending me these.

ME
Arthur, thank you for the flowers!
They're beautiful!

ARTHUR🤍
What flowers?

ME
The red roses?

ARTHUR🤍
I haven't sent any flowers to your room.

ME
oh...Cami probably did

ARTHUR🤍
I'll see you in a bit?

ME
Yeah<3

If Arthur didn't send these...

I get my things and say goodbye to Camilla who is flying with Daniel, and I head to the lobby.

Charles and Arthur are both standing next to each other, making conversation with their suitcases at their feet. Once I start getting close to them, they both look up at me and smile.

Lord save me.

Charles approaches me first and takes my suitcase from my hand and carries it.

"Grace." he says to greet me while he's trying to hide his smile.

"Charles." I say not looking him in the eye.

Then Arthur approaches me and leans in for a kiss but I take a step back. He then realises that Charles is still standing behind us so he gives me a understanding look and a hug instead. Charles face falls to the floor and it takes me everything not to run up to him and hug him.

"Let's go then." Charles says after he clears his throat.

We head for the ferrari that's waiting outside the hotel. Charles sits at the driver's seat and I sit behind while we wait for Arthur to get in the passenger's seat but he's currently on a call.

"Did you like the roses?" Charles asks suddenly.

"I should have known it was you." I say and Charles turns his head around at me, leaning in.

What is he doing? His brother it's just right there.

Before I can stop him and before Charles gets the chance to kiss me, the car door opens, and Arthur gets in.

The drive to the airport is quiet most of the time, except for a little small talk between the two brothers.

While I'm looking ahead, I catch Charles eyes on the rear view mirror. When he sees me looking back he winks at me.
