The Lies We Tell // Charles Leclerc

"I'm not a stalker"

Thursday Evening - 7pm

After a full day of shopping and having a good gossip about their lives they headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. When Katie and Olivia went out, they went out out. Katie was a model and had access to some of the best fashion in the whole world so she never missed with a single outfit she wore. Katie and Olivia had actually met at a brand event, they both were forced there by their managers and were bored out of their minds. They both at the same time had the idea to sneak off and ended up in the same spot were they talked until the end of the event and by the end were best friends.

They decided to get ready in Katie's room as she wanted Livs opinion of a few new dresses even though Liv would always reply the same to each of them every one was stunning on her. But first Olivia decided to run to her room to grab some makeup and some of her own clothes. They parted ways as Katie got off the 4th floor and Liv stayed in the lift.

Liv was proud of herself, today was the first day without Wiki and she hadn't gotten lost. She was that proud she actually sent a message gloating about it to her PA, but received the reply of 'that's nothing to be proud of girl, that's how normal people are.' Liv laughed and ignored Wikis negativity towards her new found achievement. Once she got to her room she grabbed all the stuff she would need for the night and shoved it into a duffel bag before heading back for the lift.

She got off the 4th floor but realised that she had no idea where her friends room was. All she knew was that she was looking for room 428 but she was currently standing outside of 452. A massive sigh graced her, as she soon realised she was lost. The determination to find this room without help was still strong though so she looked at a sign but that made her more confused. So she decided to just walk right and hope for the best as that's what way her friend had walked.

Her phone in pocket was buzzing like crazing so she pulled it out to check the fuss. It was twitter, of course it was twitter, it was notifications that people were posting that Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly were spotted outside a hotel together. How interesting people spot outside a hotel they are probably staying at because they have work to do. She looked at the picture none the less and in the moment she realised that was HER hotel, and a second later after looking at what they were wearing she realised that they were the mysterious men she was in lift with earlier. So your telling me not only am I staying in the same hotel as them, I've accidentally met them already... and I've got the Grand Prix this weekend. Okay. She thought to herself. Liv kept looking at the pictures again to make sure she wasn't making this up in her head, and she wasn't paying attention. Next think she knew she walked straight into someone and dropped her phone.

"Shit" she said. "I'm so so sorry, are you okay I wasn't paying attention whatsoever." Liv said apologetically. "No no, it's my fault I was busy looking at my phone. I'm sorry." Came from the person she bumped into. Wait a second. She recognised that voice, but that's physically impossible. That would be to much of a coincidence... right?? WRONG. Liv after picking up her phone from the floor slowly looked up, she gulped. Standing right in front of her with a concerned look on his face was none other than Charles Leclerc.

Charles had been so busy on his phone texting his mum to tell her how his day had went so far, because he truly did miss her when he was over seas in fact he missed his whole family, he had walked straight into somebody. Once he saw a phone on the floor he felt extra bad but she had already leaned in to grab her phone before he could pick it up and apologise. He stood up straight and looked down at her ready to give the most sincere apology he could muster, but when he looked at her, he realised that she was the beauty from the lift that he had been thinking about all day. He looked into her eyes and that was the moment he recognised who she was. He gulped. It was Olivia Henderson, Carlos's favourite singer. He heard all of her songs so many times during a race weekend because Carlos loved her songs as hype up songs before a race. Charles even started to listen to her, before Carlos fell in love he had only heard bits and pieces about the young Scottish singer.

"Merde, your Olivia Henderson right?" Charles said secretly hoping he had the right person and not just someone who looked incredible similar. "Umm yeah, and your Charles Leclerc?" She said with the same tone of confusion. "Yeah, that's me! I'm so sorry about your phone, it's not broken is it" Charles said concerned that he had caused any damage to her property.

Liv went to look and double check her phone to show him it wasn't broken but  the screen turned on perfectly and when she showed him, her phone was still on the photo of Charles and Pierre. Liv's face went bright red in embarrassment whilst the monegasques laughed a little. "I swear I'm not a creepy stalker, I'm just a fan and my twitter was exploding so I went to see why and it's cause you and Pierre Gasly were spotted outside and literally that is the moment you crashed into me. I swear I'm no stalker!" Liv spoke way to fast saying all of that, she was really concerned that somebody she was a pretty big fan of was going to think she was just this massive weirdo stalking him back to his hotel. Once again he just laughed.

"No I understand don't worry, I'm a fan of you as well. I have got to say not as big of a fan as my teammate Carlos he adores you. He was so sad he couldn't get tickets during your big tour." He said sheepishly almost, as he knew Carlos would kill him for saying all of that to his celebrity crush. It was Liv's turn to laugh in reply. "Oh no, tell him next time I'll make sure to put formula 1 driver friendly dates in. But also tell him he's going to be waiting a while I'm off duty for the next couple of months." He smiled in return. "I'll pass the message on."

They had a moment were they just awkwardly stood in silence not to sure on where to take the conversation. Eventually, Liv broke the silence "anyways it was lovely to meet you, I better go meet my friend now but I'll be cheering Ferrari on this weekend from hospitality!" She said enthusiastically. "Oh? Are you coming this weekend?" A plan ready formulating in his head. "Yeah I will be, I'm very excited not been to a race in ages." She could see a strange look on his face but she wasn't to sure what it was for. "How would you feel about surprising Carlos Sainz?"
"Say no more I'm in."

Even though they both went their separate ways Charles had asked for her number so they could create their plan to surprise Charles teammate. In which she happily gave as after all she was a fan of both of them and plus he was pretty cute. She rushed to find her friends room to tell her all about it.
