IL PREDESTINATO | Charles Leclerc |

Chapter 21

After their chaotic trip to Ibiza, the pair decided to spend some time in Monaco to relax before they'd leave for Greece. Christina wanted to visit her family there and Charles decided to follow her. 

They were walking on the busy streets of Monaco. The sun was out and it was a perfect morning to spend outside. 

"Stop giving him croissants slinkingly. I can see you" Christina told Charles as he tried once more to feed Shadow some of their fresh croissants without her noticing. 

"Well, shit" Charles laughed as his cheeks went red at the realization that he was caught. "It's not my fault. He really likes Anna's croissants and he's doing puppy eyes. I can't resist him" 

Christina chuckled. It was true that Shadow loved anything Anna baked. Anna was the owner of a dog friendly café near Charles's house. When they spent mornings out with Shadow they usually went there. 

Anna was very kind and her baking skills were amazing. Plus the atmosphere in her café was always calm and welcoming even for them who were public faces. 

"You will make him fat" she laughed at him. "Me?! You feed him anytime you eat!" Charles defended himself and she laughed. She rolled her eyes amused. 

"By the way, don't plan anything tonight. You're mine for the evening" Charles said as he took a sip of his coffee and a bite of a chocolate croissant. "Okay, what will we do?" she asked. 

"I'm not telling you" 

Charles and Christina were at some point stopped by fans. They asked for pictures and hugs. While Christina was talking with two girl, Charles came her way holding a marker in his hand. He took her hand and draw something on her ring finger. 

Christina looked at him with furrowed eyebrows as she tried to see what he was drawing. Charles kept hiding it from her. He turned her hand to wards the crowd of their fans and nodded while everyone cheered as crazy. 

Christina started laughing at their reaction and looked at her hand. Charles had draw his driver's number on her ring finger. She shook her face as she laughed. Charles went to return the black marker on the girl he took it from and went back at Christina's side. 

"Stop looking so proud of your achievement" she laughed.  

The day went by quickly. They went home to rest and have some lunch. Christina couldn't stop asking him about what he planned for them for the evening and Charles kept denying to tell her. It amused him how stubborn she was however. Even though he told her he wouldn't reveal his surprise she kept asking. She even tried to seduce the answer out of him. 

"Should I dress fancy?" she asked him as she stood in front of him while he was lying on their bed. "No, not really. I'd say you were something comfortable" 

Christina went to the closet and looked through her clothes. She pulled out a couple of outfits before walking towards Charles. 

"This, this or this?" she asked as she showed him three completely different outfits. A  cute rose dress, a white top with a white and blue striped skirt, or a white linen set of a top and pants. 

"They all are pretty comfortable. Especially the skirt" he teased her and she rolled her eyes. "We're in Monaco. Dressing like a potato isn't an option" she replied making him laugh

"What?" she asked as she noticed the face he made. He was thinking.  "I'm thinking which one will be easier to take off of you" 

"Charles!" 

"The dress. Pink suits you" Charles replied with a smile. He wasn't used to Christina wearing dresses. She was always the type of girl to go with pants. So he always took advantage of moments like this to make her wear little cute dresses since they suited her really well.
