╰┈➤ October of 2019,
in Japan 🇯🇵
It's been nearly a month since... well since Singapore. Charles got indeed above P3, he was 2nd. In Russia he got P3 and we're now at Japan. This is a place that brings Charles not so happy memories... Even though he doesn't show it, he is not 100% ok.
"Hey you ok Char?" I ask. We're not going to the track for practice.
"Mm? Oh yeah I'm fine." he nods his head as if he was trying to reassure me, but I read right through him "I can't help but be a bit nervous... And sad... I miss him, you know..." he looks down. I grab his head and let him fall onto my shoulder "I hope he is proud..."
"He is Char. You've accomplished so much! Everyone is very proud of you, you already did so many great things. I'm sure they are watching you with nothing but pride." I caress his hair and his body starts relaxing "Everything is going to be ok. You need to be on your A game even if it's just practice. Show them why you got this spot and show us why we are so proud." I kiss his forehead, he then looks at me smiling.
"Thank you Chèrie, I don't know what I would do without you." he then gives me a soft kiss.
"You wouldn't be racing for a couple of months, since I was the one that treated you." I roll my eyes in a sassy way and he chuckles. Good he is getting more relaxed.
"Fair enough. By the way- I remember you were crazy about photography years ago, I thought you would be come a pro or even a paparazzi." he giggles. I look down with a sad smile.
"Somethings just aren't meant to be I guess..." we don't say anything else, until we've arrived to the paddock.
"You coming to the Ferrari garage?" Charles asks as we started walking inside.
"I- I shouldn't... I'm Mercedes physical therapist... And my dad won't be much happy to see me in the rivals garage"
"Right... Sometimes I forget Toto Wolff is your dad." we chuckle "Well I hope you still cheer for me." I nod shyly "I'll see you after the practice." he went to kiss my forehead, but saw that there was people watching so he just squeezed my hand and left.
Our relationship still isn't like official. We know of each other's feelings and act like a couple, however there was no actual words said that we are in a relationship, neither anyone besides the two of us knows of... us.

after free ꕤ practice
The interviews were happening right now. I was watching Charles of course. The journalist started asking him about his predictions for the weekend and stuff like that, but then...
"Some fans have been curious about your status Charles. You've been posting a pictures with a mysterious woman. Is it safe to say that you are dating?" shit... Ok so, even though we never said anything about being together, we did post... like you can't tell it's me not him in the pictures, but obviously Charles being a public figure it was obvious that people would assume that.
"I am. I won't reveal much, because we haven't talked about making public yet, but yes I'm in a very happy relationship." he says smiling non stop and I couldn't stop blush either.
"I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like he is talking about you Vals." I jump as I hear someone beside me.
"Lily." Alex's girlfriend, and also a pro golfer "You scared me..."
"You're blushing Vals. Is he the mysterious guy from your pictures?" I start looking around, making sure no one hears us. I nod "How cute. You know after you told me your story with him, I just knew you guys would find your way back to each other." she smiles and claps her hands excited. I tried to silence her, but it was sort of too late.
"What's happening ladies?" Alex appeared.
"Valentina is dating Charles Leclerc." Alex's jaw drops and he squeals. Lily covered his mouth and I pull both of them somewhere quite and far away from any cameras and my father.
"Yes it's true, well kinda... There was never a specific moment where we actually called each other boyfriend and girlfriend or agreed to be in an actual relationship-"
"But he just said-"
"Yes I know... So I guess we are. Which I don't mind at all..." I blush again.
"Good for you V. You are definitely made for each other." Alex says with a genuine smile on his face "Does your dad know?"
"No one knows. Well now you two do, but no one else does. Dad can't know! Alex you can't tell anyone!" she gestures to zip her mouth and I sigh in relief "Anyways I have to go now-"
"Go to your lover boy~"
"Don't make him wait~" they say chuckling and I roll my eyes. I'm happy that Charles said we are in a relationship, that somehow makes me feel more secure about us.

after the ꕤ interviews
"Dad I'm leaving now." I kiss his cheek.
"You sure you don't need a ride?"
"No! I'm ok dad thank you ahaha." I leave.
Me and Charles met in front of the main gate. There was no sign of cameras nor fans anymore, which it was a relief.
"Did you watch me?" he says with a smirk.
"Not really, I was more focused on the Mercedes, since it was the only thing I was able to see in their garage. But I did saw your interview..." we got in the car and drive away.
"Oh- you did. What did you think?"
"I was glad to hear that you confirmed to be in a relationship. To be honest I wasn't secure of that since we never actually talked about that, but hearing you say that made me feel better." he rests his hand in my tight squeezing it.
"What if I'm dating someone else?" I look at him with a angry confused look and he laughs "I'm kidding I'm kidding. I never made an actual proposal since I thought right away that we were back... I mean we act like a couple and sneak out like one too." he chuckles "But if you want something more official I do have some ideas I could put to use." he looks at me smirking.
"I'll let you save those for later, maybe when you want to propose something else." I smirk and he looks at me surprised "Eyes on the road, boyfriend~" he smiles.
"Not my fault that my girlfriend is this beautiful. My eyes only want to look at you."
"Well I want to live, so eyes on the road Char." he chuckles.
"By the way, since we are on the topic, when are we telling people about us?"
"Well Lily and Alex found out, because of your interview. However I'm up to tell all of our friends."
"And your dad?" between the media & fans and my dad, I'm most nervous to tell my dad about our relationship... He is going to flip out... Scheisse... [shit...]
