Another Love

14 Stream

Charles's POV

"Have you guys eaten? Let me eat this first before starting another game because mate, I'm hungry." I said to the other 3 before they said they'll give me until Lando finishes fixing the problems with his PC-simulator connections so I looked at the comments of fans on the stream first and read one before answering and taking a bite of the sandwich.

" 'Charles, that Croque Monsieur looks delicious but the question is, who made it?', good question." I said as I looked at Elise and smirked which made her shrug as she continued eating while scrolling on her phone. "I won't tell you who made the Croque nor won't I show you who made it." I said chuckling before I took a bite of the sandwich then continued reading some comments.

" 'Charles, did you move your simulator or did you move apartments because the place doesn't look the same.', again, good question." I said after I swallowed what I was eating and before I took another bite of the sandwich as the guys also made their comments on the change of scenery/background.

"Yeah, Charles. Did you move apartments or did you move your simulator to your girl's apartment?" Lando asked while laughing which made me laugh and look at Elise who has just finished eating her sandwich.

"I did not move apartments guys, I'm just not in Monaco so it looks different." I said before I continued eating.

"Are you still in Maranello, mate?" Alex asked.

"Wasn't the Ferrari Gala just last night? And Carlos just sent me a text saying 'Tell Charles that that does not look like any of the corners in his apartment.' BUSTED. Carlos just threw you under the bus, mate." Lando said laughing which made the other 2 also laugh their asses off in their streams as I looked at Elise who gestured to the empty plate which I handed back to her as she handed me a disposable wipe and I wiped my hand before she took it and threw it at the bin on her way to the kitchen with the empty plates.

"Seriously, Carlos?" I said and chuckled. "Yes, I'm not in my apartment. I'm in someone else's apartment but, again, I won't tell you whose. You'll know when she's ready to be seen with me or when we're spotted without us knowing." I said with a smile as I looked at the screen at my stream as Lando said he has finished fixing his connections.

"When are we gonna meet her, mate?" George asked as we got ready to start a new game. I looked at Elise who just came back and handed me a bottle of water, which I drank and put on the side, before laying down on the sofa with her head near the end of the sofa which was just beside my set-up, as she was busy scrolling through the Nike app on her iPad. 

"You'll meet her either when she comes to a race or when you're in luck when you call me and I'm with her." I said chuckling before Alex said that the new game we are starting will be the last game for him so we decided to end all our streams after this game.

"That's it for today guys. Hope you all had fun watching our streams. Until next time guys. Ciao." I said to the people watching my stream after I said bye to the 3 in the squad stream, then turned off the stream and removed my headphones before turning my PC off and getting my phone.

I stood up and lifted Elise's upper body by her shoulders before seating down and making her lean against me as I wrap my hands around her waist. Elise turned her head to look at me as I rested my chin on her shoulder so I gave her a peck on the lips before she turned back to her iPad and opened her notes and showed me the plans that she, Carla and Isa made a while ago.

"Carlos just threw me under the bus, telling Lando to tell me on the stream that the part of your apartment showing in my stream does not look like any of the corners in my apartment here in Maranello so I'm contemplating kicking him out of the trip." I said pouting as I read through the details of the 7-day plan they made. "When is this due to take place?" I asked Elise.

"The girls and I agreed that we would be flying from Bologna to the British Virgin Islands on Thursday, we are just waiting for you guys to decide."

"I can't fly out on Thursday, cherie. I have to attend the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony on Friday night." I said while placing a kiss on Elise's neck.

"Ohh. Right. I forgot about the Prize Giving Ceremony. I'll tell the girls, so we can just work around your schedule and my supposed flight to LA on the 16th or I could just change my flight so I'll be flying from there to LA and not from Bologna to LA." Elise said as she sat up and turned to look at me.

"You don't need to do that, cherie. You guys can fly out on Thursday and I'll fly out to see you guys on the first flight after the ceremony on Friday night." I said as she moved to sit on my lap placing her legs on each side, straddling me and wrapping her hands around my neck.

"You'll miss a day of fun tho if we do that and you'll be flying for over 17 hours, alone. How about I stay behind and wait for you then we can fly out together?"

"Tempting but you'll be missing the first day of activities too, then. And we might be spotted together at both the airport and the flight. Would you be fine with that?" I said as I cupped her face and caressed her face with my thumb.

"It's fine. It's just surfing lessons on the first day, I'll get plenty of time to surf in Cali. Also, It's not like we are not travelling together because we are. Plus, we can just say I was invited by Isa to the vacation and we just decided to travel together since I had prior commitments and I couldn't fly with the other 4." She said shrugging.

"Okay then. You call and inform the girls to book their flight for Thursday and I book a flight for both of us." I said giving her a peck on her lips.

Elise dialed Isa's number before putting it on speaker and leaning forward to place her head on my chest as I got my phone to search for flights from Bologna to the British Virgin Islands and booked and paid for two first class seats. I then proceeded to look for flights from the the Islands straight to LA for December 16 and found a flight leaving at 10 PM so I gave my phone to Elise, just as she and Isa finished speaking, for her to put her info and booked and paid for the ticket. She then proceeded to cancel her flight ticket from Bologna to LAX as I run my fingers through her hair.

"So, what's the plan for Friday?" She asked as she put her phone down and look up at me.

"You're not gonna attend the Ceremony with me?" I said chuckling.

"Nope. Non sta succedendo. Luna and Izzy have been on vacation for a week now while I'm still here because of social responsibilities, which, have ended last night, mio caro." She said shaking her head. Before opting to move her body up and bury her face on my neck. "I shall meet you at the airport with both our luggages, that's how Friday is gonna go." She said with finality in her tone which made me chuckle.

"Ma cherie is not very sociable." I said as my phone rang and displayed my mother's ID for Facetime making me smirk as Elise groaned but made no effort to move.

I accepted the call and was met with my Maman's smiling face which turned confused as she can also see Elise with her face buried on my neck on the screen along with my face.
