Charles 16

June 27th, 2022, London

It was Monday afternoon and Christina was preparing the house for her quests. Charles went to pick up Arthur from the airport and pretend that he'd come at house for the first time then

"The house is amazing, Christina," Luisha exclaimed as the girl was showing her and Lando around. They were the first to arrive.

The house was huge and rather beautiful, perfectly decorated. Two floors, ten bedrooms with a bathroom at each one. Huge living room in which one wall was made of glass, letting you look at the wonderful view outside. A huge garden with a pool which was connected with an inside one in case there was bad weather.

"What's here?" Lando asked, opening a door to look inside since it was the last room to look at.

"Don't open the door!" Christina said, but it was already late. Lando had walked in when Christina and Luisha managed to reach him.

"Oh no! Take me out of here!" Lando yelled, trying to move away as Shadow approached him, moving his tail. His ears raised as he looked at the British driver with his head tilted and confusion all over his face.

"Calm down, baby." Luisha placed her hands on his shoulder, pushing him forward.

"Lando, this is Shadow. I promise he's super friendly" Christina stood beside Shadow who was now sitting on his butt looking excited.

"No, I'm out,"

"Oh, come on, Lando. Look at him!" Luisha smiled as she walked closer to the dog.

Everyone knew that Lando wasn't a fan of dogs. He disliked them with a passion after he met Luisha's family dog. Shadow, although young, was really intimidating.
With his black fur and blue eyes, he looked more like a wolf than a dog. So Christina kept him in her room when the couple arrived so she could prepare the ground.

 Luisha immediately bent down to pet Shadow, but when Lando just stood there with disgust on his face, Shadow felt like he had to do something.

"Luisha, be careful with that thing." Lando muttered, tapping his girlfriend's shoulder.

Shadow placed his two front paws on Lando's legs, standing on his two feet, waiting for Lando to give in and pet him.

"Christina, your monster is attacking me," Lando exclaimed, staying frozen in place, making both girls chuckle.

"Shadow, be nice." Christina laughed, and the dog stepped back. Christina told him to sit down so Lando could approach him.

"He's calm, Lando. I promise he won't hurt you. Come pet him. "

"You bite me, and I'll make sure that beautiful fur of yours won't go to waist," Lando said, pointing his finger at the dog before approaching him carefully. "Lando!"

"Oh, he's not the bad, is he?" Lando laughed as Shadow showed his belly for the McLaren driver to pet. "I think he likes you,"

Shadow's ears perked up before he run down the stairs. When Christina opened the door, she saw Kelly and Max standing there with big smiles on their faces. What she didn't notice at first was Penelope, who, as soon as she spotted the dark dog, hid behind Max and Kelly.

"Maxie, look! Wolf, " Penelope said, holding Max's leg as she pointed at Shadow. "That's Shadow P, and it's Christina's dog, not wolf," Max explained to the little girl softly as he took her small hand in his and led her inside.

The couple greeted their friends with hugs and kisses before sitting on the living room so they could catch up while waiting for the others to arrive. Carlos Carlos, George, and Alex with their girlfriends, Mick, Lewis, Pierre, Yuki, and of course, the two Leclerc brothers would join them.
