"Charles, I'm sorry but I don't know if I can be with you." I exhaled a breath.

"What?" He said.

"I don't know if I can be with you..I mean how would that look if the new social media manager was suddenly sleeping with the driver, it would look like I just slept with you for my job and also imagine the press- the rumours that would spread-" Charles cut me off before I could say anymore.

"So that's why you won't be with me? Mari, if you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you it doesn't matter about the press or the teams opinions.. if it matters that much to you we can keep it private." He spoke.

"I- i think if we kept it private for the time being it would be better." I sighed.

"So.. does that mean you will be with me?" Charles grabbed my hands again.

"Yes.. yes I'll be with you, Charles." I smiled.

Charles wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss.

My heart felt like it stopped and then exploded.

I never thought I would experience this with him.

Love.

"Should we head back to Lorenzo's?" I pulled away from the embrace.

"Yeah come on." He reached out for my hand.

We walked back to Lorenzo's hand in hand as i smiled to myself.

"We're here." Charles walked up to the door, knocking.

We waited a few minutes but nobody came to the door.

"Do you have a spare key?" I asked Charles.

"No but I know where Lorenzo would put one." He laughed as i raised my eyebrows.

He walked up to the pot plant next to the porch and stuck his hand down it.

Charles pulled his hand out of the plant and had a pair of keys in his hand.

I laughed at how easy it was for Charles to find the keys.

He unlocked the door and we walked inside. It was silent so I guessed everyone was in bed.

We made our way to the guest bedroom and i went into the bathroom taking off my makeup.

When my makeup was off Charles walked into the bathroom with grey joggers and no shirt on.

"You're perfect." Charles mumbled into my shoulder.

We climbed into bed and I started to scroll through social media.

I was just scrolling on instagram when I got a message from Isa.

Isa: you and Charles are together?!?

I looked up from my phone.

"You told Carlos already?" I looked over to Charles. I thought we were keeping it private?

"Well yeah, I tell him everything." He said casually.

I turn back to my phone and reply to Isa.

Maria: yup, but don't be going around telling the whole paddock! Keeping it private for the time being.

Isa: Ah okay. Happy for you!

"So Charles, I've been told that I have to get some pictures of you doing cardio or something?" I told Charles as we ate breakfast.
