[#1 Book of Formula Of Love series] :p
- They used to be childhood lovers, but as he began to become known in the motorsport world, rumors also started appearing... Years later they are now reunited, but it's not the same, even though their feelings...
"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-" I close my eyes as an instinct. This is so wrong, it shouldn't happen for so many reasons. Our noses touch and as we leaned to kiss, someone knocked on the door.
"Charles, it's Carlos, we need to discuss some stuff with the team are you ready?" me and Charles distance ourselves.
"Yeah mate I am." he gets up and leaves not taking a single glance at me.
"Scheiße.." [Fuck...]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ after ꕤ qualifying
I've got back to the Mercedes garage and tried to act like nothing had happened. I'll have to see Charles tomorrow eventually, so it's not like I can escape this mess...
"Hey Valentine!" Lewis called me after finishing his stuff. He calls me Valentine as a nickname, I don't know why, but it doesn't bother me since it's him "Are you free tonight?"
"Why are you asking me on a date?" I tease him. Me and Lewis are good friends, he's like an older brother to me.
"I wish." he winks as a joke "No, but there's going to be a party later and I assumed no one told you about it?" I shake my head "Well you can come if you want to." I thought of refusing at first, but I need to drink, so why not? I need a distraction, so a party is just what I needed.
"Sure, what time?"
"I'll pick you up at 9pm." I found it a bit odd, since the race day is tomorrow, but he knows how to behave himself. As for myself I'll just have a few drinks, since I have work to do as well.

I got home and started preparing for the party. I took a long warm needed shower, did my skincare routine and applied makeup. Afterwards I did my hair and put my outfit on:

Finally I put on my favorite fragrance, grabbed my purse and left after receiving Lewis message.
"Wow Valentine you look-"
"Do I look alright? I didn't know what to wear..." I say shyly.
"You look amazing, definitely will caught everyone's attention." we then drove off to where the party was happening. We got there and immediately I noticed different f1 drivers and their partners "To those that don't know, this is Valentina Wolff."
"Like Toto Wolff?" a blonde guy with blue eyes and french accent spoke.
"Yeah that's my dad." I smiled awkwardly as all of them looked shocked.
"While the boys recover from that. I'm Francisca, but you can call me Kika. I'm Pierre's girlfriend."
"Hi, nice to meet you. Love your look tonight." I can tell that she is beautiful, even if she had makeup on, she also seemed like a cool girl.
"Thank you sweetheart, you look gorgeous!" I thanked for the compliment and afterwards I start meeting the rest of the people in the group and few more that arrived.

"You're Charles therapist right?" that's the same voice from earlier.
"Ah yes I am..." I really didn't want to hear his name tonight...
"I'm Carlos Sainz, his teammate." I nodded "He said he was getting a lot better thanks to you." I looked at him a bit surprised, Charles talked about me? "He also said that you guys-"
"What's happening everyone?" exactly who I didn't want to meet "Oh- hi... Doctor."
"Hi and goodbye." I get up from my sit and went to the bar. Just what I needed.
I came to this party to have fun and forget about Charles, but what did I even expect? Everyone is here, of course he would too. I just need to keep my distance and never be alone with him.
"Trying to runaway from someone Val?" can they hear my freaking thoughts!!
"Don't call me that! And I don't runway from nothing nor no one." I don't face him and just chug down the shots that I asked for, they were indeed strong!
"You should go easy on those, don't you have to take care of Leclerc tomorrow before the race?" he always has to be the topic of the conversation hasn't he?!
"Why so worried, isn't he your competition Verstappen?" I met Max years ago, because of Charles, they have been frenemies ever since I know them.
"He's still my friend, I don't want him losing, because his ex/now therapist couldn't take care of his shoulder due to her hangover." me and Max never got along very well, we tolerated each other, but he does know how to get on my nerves "By the way, where have you been all this years? I haven't bumped into you the paddock before."
"It's my first year working at the paddock. I don't usually come to the racing spots, you know since Mercedes doesn't have much trouble either." I smile.
"Congrats I guess. Didn't you wanna be in the photography area though? I would've expected you to be one of the paparazzi or something in the area." everyone from my past knew my passion of photography, still I'm surprised he remembered.
"I'm going to dance, see you around." I left to the dance floor after chugging 2 shots.
This is going to be a hell of a night, and tomorrow I'm gonna have a big fucking headache.
