Story of another us

Charles Leclerc

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

(Boys Like Girls - Thunder)

I obviously did not expect such surprises from this day, but I am happy with one thing - the surprises were pleasant, which is already a rarity in my life. I wonder what I would do in my free time if I hadn't decided to go visit my relatives in Naples. Would I just stay at home and think about my shitty life, then Pierre would come, he would beat my ass up for thinking bad of myself, and then he'd drag me to have some fun in any club or whatever? Yes, most likely, everything would be like that.

But instead, I packed up and went to Naples, and I didn't regret it one bit. It's probably the only right decision I've made in my life lately.

First I went to a race where my cousin was competing. I remember myself in his age and how I started to race back in my childhood. And as funny as it may sound, Max's cousin is also a go-karter, and what's more, he races with my cousin. A coincidence? I do not think so.

Speaking of Max. I didn't expect that he would also decide to come to Naples to spend some time with his relatives, so that's why I agreed to be a nanny for my little brother and go to visit the Verstappen relatives. Yeap, our cousins are good friends.

Apparently, he didn't expect to see me at his uncle's house either, as he literally froze when he saw me in their living room. And to be honest, I was pretty stunned myself when I saw him. But I was happy to see him off the track. To see good old Max, and not Max Verstappen , a two-time Formula 1 world champion.

Many people consider him to be arrogant, aggressive, sometimes even ill-mannered and a star-studded asshole, but he's nothing like that. He's not like that at all. Not a single gram. This Dutchman knows how to show character when necessary, but in fact he is a soft, funny, cozy, interesting person with whom to spend time is a pure pleasure. And today's dinner is a proof of that. It's just a pity that the time passed so quickly.

In the evening, when we had already gone home and said goodbye to everyone, Max said that he would also like to repeat that kiss. Hell, Charles, do you even realize that? Do you realize that Verstappen wouldn't mind kissing you again? Can we assume that something is happening between us, but we just don't fully understand it yet? I want to know the answer to this question, but I'm afraid of getting rejected, so I'm being stupid. That's sounds ridiculous, haha.

In the evening, I drove my cousin home, and I went to my rented apartment. I didn't want to check into the hotel, just like I didn't want to stay with my relatives, so the rented apartment is an ideal option for me.

When I arrived at my "temporary home", I found an extremely shitty surprise: there was an accident in the apartment - a pipe burst in the bathroom. Yeah, how could I expect this day to finish without any shitshow? You wish, Charles.

I immediately called the landlord and told him what had happened. Yes, the surprise is just "great", both for him and for me. Having somehow solved one problem, another appeared - these apartments will be renovated, which means that I will not be able to stay in peace and quiet. So I have to find another place to live for a while.
