Next day same thing, Charles FaceTimed me again we had a long conversation I'm can actually see myself falling for him but before I do I have to tell him about Kai I'm just scared. Race day finally rolls around, he did get pole but he ended up with another penalty and ended up in 8th, Emily and I are on the end he of our seats to see what happens the race starts and he gets off great and makes up a couple of places leaving him in 5th now it's a long race he still has time. Time passed by and he's up to 3rd and there's only 3 laps to go he's catching up to Lando who's in 2nd very quickly not too far I front of him is Lewis, Charles gets into DRS range and overtakes Lando it was a very close overtake and they almost touched which had me sit on the edge of my sit, now he just needs to overtake Lewis who is ahead by 8seconds so I don't know if he will with only 2 laps to go either way P2 is a great result for him and I'm sure he'll be happy as well. It's the final lap he's .302seconds behind Lewis he's so close they're at the last corner but Lewis was just in head when they crossed the line like no joke he was .010seconds behind him it was so close, I sent him a message so he can read it later.

Me:
P2 and not far behind Lewis crossing the line, well done I'm incredibly proud of you Char. I know you wanted P1 but P2 is still great don't go to hard on yourself, will talk later 🤍

Yes I sent a heart but to me the white heart is nothing more than friends, Em is here and she's now staying the night monday are the days off thank god I thought I wasn't getting a day off from anything but turns out Monday's are my days off. We put on a random movie Emily ends up falling asleep like half hour into the movie and I don't care for this movie so I go on to Instagram to see Charles has posted.

I barely get a moment before a message pops on my phone from him

I barely get a moment before a message pops on my phone from him.

Charles:
Thank you ❤️ FaceTime?

Me:
Yes.
Next thing I know his face is popping up on my screen.

Me:
"Hey Char!"

Charles:
"Hey Scar, how are you?"

Me:
"Good, I'm proud of you! You did your best tonight."

Charles:
"Thank you." He smiles at me and that smiles still makes my heart flatter but I ignore it and smile back.
Charles:
I wanted to win but I guess P2 will have to do."

Me:
"Hey you did great don't kick yourself, I'm super proud of you Char!"

All of a sudden something moves next to me and then I remember Emily is right next to me sleeping so I get up quietly.

Charles:
"What are you doing?"

Me:
"Emily is here and she's sleeping on the couch so I'm just going to my room so I don't wake her."

Charles:
"Ah okay." He laughs.

Me:
"Did you want to talk about anything in particular?"

Charles:
"Yeah."

Me:
"What's up?"

Charles:
"I know you won't tell me though."

Me:
"Oh? What is it?"

Charles:
"I want to know what made you so upset the other night." Shit I knew this would come up and I do have to tell him.

Me:
"I just got reminded of my past relationship and it wasn't great."

Charles:
"I'm sorry, do you mind me asking why?"

Me
"No, but I'm not ready to tell you the whole thing. What I will tell you is that his names Kai and he wasn't the best of people. Now I'm a little scared of relationships."

He looks extremely sad at this news and I'm not gonna lie seeing him sad hurts me.

Charles:
"Oh Scar I'm so sorry. But you have to know that not everyone guy is"

Me:
"I know I'm just scared."

Charles:
"That's okay, I just want you to know that any guy would be lucky to have you as theirs *like me*"

I think he thought I wouldn't hear him say that but I did but I'm just not gonna mention it.

Me:
"Thank you Char, I'm getting tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight."

Charles:
"Goodnight. By the way I'm coming back to Monaco until the next race, we will catch up you have no choice. Goodnight."

Before I can even comment he hangs up, I just laugh and shake my head looks like I'll be seeing Charles again soon I'm not gonna lie I'm happy about that. I do my night routine and head to bed ready for the next day.

(A.N. Sorry this is shit. I've had a lot on and did this last minute.)
