Cardigan

Chapter Four

Elle POV

"Are you coming to my race?"

"When do I ever miss your race?" I reply.

"Never, but I thought you might have plans with this mystery guy," I do, but he'll be there with you.

"Nope, no plans," I say, cringing slightly. I hated lying to him. We told each over everything.

"Least that means I get you all to myself," he wraps his arms around my neck, pulling me into a side hug.

"Have you already packed?" I ask.

"Yeah, but you need to pack," he says, throwing my suitcase on the bed. "We leave in 3 hours,"

"What if I already had my own way of travelling?"

"Yeah, right, we always travel together now. Come on and pack," he says, walking out of the room.

"Elle, are you ready?" Arthur shouts from the living room.

"Yeah, I'm coming," I say, grabbing my luggage and wheeling it into the front room coming face to face with both Leclerc brothers.

"You're coming with us?" Charles asks, smiling slightly at me.

"I am,"

"Great, Max is waiting for us at his jet," I nod and follow them out. Charles takes the luggage from my hand and carries it to the car.

"I could have done that,"

"I've got it, mon chéri," he says quietly. He loads it into the back, and we all get into the car.

"Who else will be joining us?" I ask.

"Just Max and Lando," I nod, sitting back in my seat, looking out of the window.

We arrive at the airport, and we unload the car, making our way towards Max jet.

"We've got a long flight ahead of us," Arthur says, wrapping his arm around my shoulders, leaving Charles with the luggage.

"I can't handle you the whole flight," he fake gasps.

"That's harsh, and I thought you loved me, my sweet British girl," I laugh, shaking my head at him.

"I do love you, but you're insuperable when we go on long flights,"

"She's not wrong," Charles says, catching up to us he hands the luggage over to an attendant, and we walk inside the aeroplane.

"Glad to see you guys made it," Max says. "Elle," he hugs me as I take a seat. Charles sits beside me.

"That's my spot," Arthur complains.

"Not anymore. I don't want to hear you for the whole flight," he says,"and you sitting next to Elle causes you to talk more than usual," he rolls his eyes taking a seat in front of Max and Lando.

Charles hand rests on my leg, squeezing it slightly. I look at him and smile. Nobody could see us from our seats since we were behind everyone.

He takes my hand in his and holds it.

~~~~~~~

"There's you are both keys," the lady at the front desk says. I smile and thank her, walking over to Arthur.

"Your key,"

"We're in different rooms?" I nod.

"We are, but they are next to each other," I say. That does make it harder to sneak around with Charles, but we'll make it work.

"Hand it over," I pass him his key, and we get the elevator to our floor.

"I need sleep," he says.

"You're acting like you've not slept all the flight,"

"I still need sleep," he looks me up and down, "and so do you," I hit him.

"You're such a dick,"

"I'll text you when I'm awake?"

"Okay, I might take a nap too," he nods, walking into his room. I unpack and then lay on the bed.

Charles
What's your room number? X

I smile, typing out my message to him.

Me
Room 487 Arthur's rooms next door, but he's having a nap x

Charles
Be there in 5 x

I get up trying to sort myself out after a long flight, not like he hadn't seen me the entire way here. There was a knock on the door, and I quickly opened it.

He takes me by the waist and kisses me, pushing me into the room, shutting the door behind him, my arms wrapping around his neck.

"Arthur's next door?"

"He is," he nods, sitting in the bed patting the side. I climb over to him.

"That makes it harder to sneak around to see you," he says, leaning down to kiss me again.

We both yawn

"You tired?" I nod. He gets up, undressing my eyes, travelling over his body, and he smirks.

"Checking me out, are you?'

"Maybe,"

"Get undressed," I raise my eyebrow he passes me his shirt. "Let's get some sleep," I take the shirt undressing letting him watch and then slip the shirt on "if I wasn't so tired I would do something about you undressing in front of me,"

"Are we getting some sleep then?" He nods, getting into the bed and I get in next to him he takes me in his arm and we fall asleep like that.

~~~~~~

The banging on the door makes us both jump up.

"Elle, are you alive?" Arthur's voice comes from the other side. I look at Charles, and his eyes go wide.

"You need to hide," I say he nods, getting up and looking for a place to hide.

"Elle?" He knocks again.

"One second," I shout back. I pushed Charles into the wardrobe and then went to open the door

"I thought I was going to have to get security to come open up," he walks inside.

"Sorry, i was really tired," he nods, sitting on the bed.

"Whose shirt is that?"

"Oh, this?" He nods."erm,"

"Is it that mystery, guys?"

"Yeah, it's his,"

"He's got good taste," I glance at the wardrobe.

"Did you need something since you woke me up so rudely?"

"Yeah, we're going out for food. I'm going up to Charles room to tell him," he says.

"Okay, I'll get dressed,"

"Don't be too long," he says, kissing my cheek and walking out. I shut the door behind him, and Charles comes out of the wardrobe.

"I best get to my room," he says, putting his clothes back on he looks at the shirt I'm wearing.

"Here I'll give it you," he shakes his head.

"Keep it looks better on you, then it did me. I'll just run upstairs,"

"You sure,"

"Positive," he kisses me goodbye and then rushes out of the room.
