Charles and I arrived at some source of dock.I was still debating whether this was a date or not but I ignored it for the mean time.
Charles got out the car and practically sprinted around the other side to open my door.
"Thank you" I said smiling up at me which he returned. "What exactly are you doing at the docks?"
"You'll see" he said before leading us away from the car. I just followed behind like a little puppy tied to a lead.
He stopped in-front of a boat and just stood there admiring it. He got on and held out an hand for me which I took without hesitation.
"You alright" he said putting his hands on my waist to support my balance. I couldn't speak. It was as if I had gone mute. I just nodded and he let go.
As he did so I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding.
As we advanced further onto the most mesmerising sight came into view along with a simple restaurant looking table.
"Sorry it was all kind of last minute" he said scratching the back of his neck.
I pulled his close and kissed his check. "It's gorgeous Charles" I said and you could see how red he got.
Before we sat down the boat started moving and I went flying into Charles arms.
"Sh!t sorry" I said pushing against his chest to get up. He just laughed and sat down and I done the same.
"Liv I just wanted to ask you and land-."
"Ima stop you right there buddy" I said putting my hands up. "Me and lando were a PR stunt nothing more so there is not me and him" I said before letting him continue.
"Alright yeah sorry I didn't know" he said but before he could finish someone came out with plates full of food.
"Thank you" I said as the woman handed me my plate. she just nodded and walked off. "What's this?" I said looking at Charles.
"It's meant to be Risotto but I don't know. I remembered you told me it was your mum's favourite dish" he said trying to hide his blushed cheeks.
"Charles it's lovely thank you so much" I said smiling up at him.
We both sat in silence for a while until he suddenly spoke.
"Olivia can I ask you something?" Saying that I just looked up at him. His mind looked some where else but I waited for him to continue.
"Do you feel anything for lando?" That caught me attention.
I was about to say something but I didn't know what exactly. I ask myself that question every day.
"No of course not" I said but he just smiled.
"Alright good, good"
This sh!t is strung to get weird.
"Liv I knew this may be a but quick but ever since I meet you I seem to feel connected to you. Your funny, sweet and just overall and amazing person and I don't think I want to be just friends" he said and I just say there stunned. Charles actually liked me?
"So Liv. Will you be my girlfriend?" He said looking at me a bit embarrassed"
My smile faded. "Charles." I don't know what was stopping me. "Charles I like you but I don't think I'm ready for a relationship" I said looking at him.
He just looked down at the food and suddenly smiled.
"I'll wait for you liv. I don't want to ruin our friendship"

Saturday ~ qualifying
Mine and Charles little vacation was over in an instant and before we knew it the roads were pact ready for the Monaco Grand Prix.
"I actually hate qualifying" Charles said walking into the kitchen.
"I mean if your not on pole you have a very slim chance of actually winning" I said shrugging.
"That's why I hate it" he said sitting opposite me on the island.
I handed him a cup of coffee but that was gone in an instant.
"You alright" I said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Liv I need to tell you something"
Every time someone says that it always turn to sh!t.
"Alexandra will be there today"
"So?" I said shrugging.
I didn't really know Alexandra. I only really saw her walking around the paddock clinging onto Charles arm but I just ignored it really.
"She seems to be some source of sponsor of Ferrari, so they gave her a garage and paddock pass"
The way he said it was weird. It wasn't like it was toxic but it was something different and I could quite but my finger on what.
I didn't really see why I had to care though. He wasn't my boyfriend?
********
We arrived at the paddock about 3 hours before qualifying so we kind of had time to spare.
I knew I would have to see lando today so I would mainly try to avoid him as much as possible.
"Liv you wanna sit in Ferrari for a while?" He said looking down at me as we walked. "Just to get away from everyone and all you know?" And I just nodded and smiled.
As we entered the garage I came face to face with a younger looking man.
He looked me up and down and scoffed before walking away.
What did I do now?
*lando Norris*
I know I should feel anything for Olivia but when I saw her and Charles all close and comfortable it made my blood boil.
But she was the least of my worries at this point in time. It's the Monaco Grand Prix so if I wanted to win I kind of need pole.
I walked into my privet drivers room only to see Sara looking up at me.
"Soo how's olive" she said laughing.
"Olivia" I said sharply, staring at her.
"Yeah yeah ok." She said shrugging.
"Why are you here Sara?" I said as she got up and walked over to me.
"You know it's quite funny lando. You act like you hate me but it wasn't me who came to the others door begging for sex?"

Right this isn't one of them that I make Alexandra the bad guy ok ok so calm yourself.
Spelling mistakes I don't care about btw
