Adrenalin- Carlos Sainz Jr

Chapter 32: The friends lunch

When the three of them got to Portugal they tiredly got into the team truck and they drove to the hotel.
- Pierre texted me, asking us if we want to join them for lunch.- Charles said
- Is Emily with him?- Carlos asked and Charles nodded.
- I would love to go, it's up to you guys.- the girl said
- Amor, I'm actually tired. Is it ok with you if I stay in the hotel?- Carlos said and the girl nodded.
- I'll go with you, it would be nice to talk about the old times.- Charles said as they got to the hotel.
- Do you want to meet here in fifteen minutes?- Charles asked
- Yeah, we'll take your car?-
- Sure, Pierre just texted the address. I'll see you later mate.- Charles said before saying goodbye to Carlos and walking toward the front desk.
- Here's your key, amor.-
- Thanks handsome, are you sure you don't want to come?-
- I'm sure. I'll be ok, I'm just tired. Go have fun with your friends.-
- Maybe we should hit the gym later?- she proposed
- Of course, I'll wait for you.-
- Thanks handsome, I'll go to my room to leave my stuff and I'll text you.-
- Ok amor, have fun. I love you.- he said
- I love you more.- she said before kissing him.

Half an hour later, Charles and Aurora were arriving at the clubhouse where they were meeting Emily and Pierre.
- Hey guys!- Charles said when they approached the table.
- Where's your handsome boyfriend?- Emily immediately asked Aurora
- Hey, i'm here you know?- Pierre joked
- He was tired, but I think he just wanted us to catch up on our own.-
- It's really nice you decided to join us.- Charles said to Emily
- I mean, this thing was supposed to inspire me to write two more songs, I have the idea for one but I'm hoping I can find something more.-
- Traveling is great for inspiration, I think that my year abroad was  the best thing that has happen to me.- Aurora said
- I just don't know, I have never traveled.- Emily said but quickly Pierre changed the subject.
- I think I want to order the club sandwich, you guys?-
- Wait, you have never traveled?- Charles asked in shock
-Not ever since my brother left karting.-
- But, why?- Aurora asked confused
-It was always a dream of mine to travel so I started saving and I did it, then I met Jack, he was my boyfriend and well it was a really toxic relationship, but I loved him.-
- I'm really sorry Em, we didn't mean to pry.- Charles said
- It's fine, don't worry. Now Charles tell me about Charlotte.-
- I think we are going to breakup.- he sadly whisper
- What are you talking about?- Pierre asked in shock
- I'm really insecure about her life when I'm not home and with the season starting I need to be at the factory as much as I can.-
- Charles, I don't think she's cheating on you. Right Rory?- the Frenchman said but Aurora was awfully quiet.
-Rory? What do you know?- Charles asked, feeling a void on his chest.
- A few weeks ago a news website approached me with a note that involved Charlotte cheating on you in a club in Monaco, the photos are blurry but I wasn't quite sure the girl wasn't Charlotte so Ferrari paid so the note wouldn't get posted.-
- Can I see the photo?- Charles whispered
- Do you really want to?- Aurora asked and he nodded
- Charles, just know we will be here for you for everything.- Emily sadly said.
- I can't believe it, she's even wearing the dress I bought for her. God I'm going to be sick.- Charles angrily said before standing up
- Where are you going.- Pierre asked
- I'm going to the hotel, I need to talk to her.-
- If you need anything call us.- Aurora said
- Thanks Rory, love you guys.-

The three friends started eating while having a weird conversation, they were having fun but it wasn't a really exciting time.

- Did you and Carlos found a house yet?- Emily asked
- We did, but it needs some remodeling so probably we will end up moving on the summer break.-
- That's awesome.-
- So, are you guys dating or what?- Aurora asked and the American girl blushed immediately.
- Not yet, but we are trying it.- Pierre smiled at his girl who ended up kissing him.
- God, you both are nauseating.- Aurora joked smiling at her phone
- You and Carlos are the same.- Pierre argue
- Shut up and look at your phone.- Emily said to him
- Honestly guys, you two are really cute.-

- I'll go pay so we can go.- Pierre said before standing up and leaving both girls on the table.
- Rory, I wanted to talk to you about something.-
- What's wrong?- she asked feeling nervous
- I just wanted to show you something and I want you to know that you can absolutely said no and I won't be mad or anything.-
- Em, you are getting me nervous.- she said while grabbing a notebook the American was handling her.
- What is this?-
- An idea for a song, I was inspired by your story but I don't want you to feel like you don't get a saying in this.-
- Em, is this about me losing my baby? This is really sweet, I love it.-
- Are you sure? You don't have a problem with it?-
- Well, I do have a problem with it.-
- Sure tell me what and I'll change it.- the American said
- Why haven't you recorded it yet?- she laughed when she saw Emily's face.
- You scared me, thanks Rory.-
