Later the same day
- ¿Estás segura de que no quieres venir con nosotros?- My dad asks. (Are you sure you don't wanna come along?)
- Sí, no me siento con ánimos de salir hoy. - I say. (Yeah, I'm not feeling like going out today.)
He stares at me like trying to read my mind to know if I'm lying.
- Vale, me avisas si vas a salir algún lugar. - He says and kisses my cheek. (Ok, just let me know if you decide to go somewhere.)
- Sí, pa, chao. - I say. (Yes, dad, bye.)
I soon as he walked out of my room and closed the door I laid on my bed checking if my teacher left any homework, it's not like I'm gonna do it anyway but I can now write it on my to-do list for when I get back. Suddenly, my phone starts ringing. The name "Carlos" pops on my screen, I answer.
- ¿Alo? - I ask. (Hello?).
- ¿Te estás quedando en el mismo hotel que Checo?- He asks. (Are you staying at the same hotel as Checo?).
- Umm, no sé en cuál se está quedando él pero supongo que sí. ¿Por que? (Umm, I don't know in which hotel Checo is staying but I guess so.).
- Vale, llego en 30 minutos. - He says. (Alright, I'll be there in 30 minutes.).
- ¿Qué? ¿A donde vamos? - I ask and get up from my bed. (What? Where are we going?).
- Solo vamos a ir algún bar o algo así, ¿sí eres mayor de edad, verdad? - He says joking. (We're just going to a bar or something like that, you are 18 right?).
- Ja ja ja, que gracioso eres Carlos. Deberías de dedicarte a ser comediante. - I say sarcastically. (Ha ha ha, you're so funny Carlos. You should be a comedian.).
- Lo sé, lo sé. - He says laughing softly. (I know, I know.).
- Vale, entonces nos vemos en un rato. - He says. (Alright, see you later then.).
- Vale, ¡chao! - I say and hang up. (Arlight, bye!).
Should I change the dress I have on? I mean I did brought some extra clothing, but I'm not really in the mood to dress really good. Or so I thought before Carlos texted me saying that he wanted me too meet some of the other drivers. Is Max going? I really hope so, but just in case I'm gonna change. I take my second favorite dress that I brought for this weekend. It's black with open back and large sleeves. I do my hair this time I straighten it, and do a little heavy make up. I spray on some perfume and wait for Carlos to call me. In less than 5 minutes Carlos calls me, I answer immediately.
- Estoy afuera. ¿Estás lista o quieres que te espere más tiempo? - Carlos asks. (I'm outside, are you ready or do you need more time?).
- Ya estoy lista. - I say. (I'm ready.)
- Vale, chao. - He says and hangs up. (Alright, bye.).
As soon as I see a black Ferrari I knew it was him. I see him get out of the car and walk towards me smiling. I smile as he gets closer and hugs me. He opens the door for me and then he walks to his seat.
We arrived and I saw a lot of fancy cars, I don't find it strange since we are in Monaco. Carlos turns off the car and gives the keys to the valet guy, we walked to the inside of the bar and a few paparazzi takes photos of us.
- Do you have a reservation? - The lady asks us.
- Yeah. - Carlos says.
- Under what name?
- Sebastian Vettel. - He says.
- Okay, follow me.
We walk behind the lady and Carlos turns to look at me and smiles.
- ¿Qué pasa? - I ask smiling. (What?).
- Nada, solo que hace mucho no nos veíamos. - He says. (Nothing, it's just that we haven't seen each other in a while.).
- Okay, this is your table.
I smiled at everyone, but trying to figure where Max is. I can't see him anywhere, I'm not gonna lie I actually got kinda disappointed.
- Amber!
I turn to look and see Max.
- Hi! - I say with the biggest smile.
He hugs me and I hug him back.
- I didn't know you and Carlos were something. - Max says.
- Oh no, we're not a couple. - I say and turn to look at Carlos.
He looks at me but looks away immediately.
- Come I want to introduce you to some of the other drivers. - Max says.
I walk with him around the table. He introduced me to Sebastian, and Hamilton. But then...
- And this is Charles. - Max says.
- Hello freckles.
I stared at him speechless. I almost felt like my heart went to my feet.
"Do you remember me?" - I hear inaudible.
I can't react or say something. I feel like I'm going to faint, suddenly I feel someone's hand on my arm. I turn to look.
- Amber, are you okay? - Max asks.
- She's okay, aren't you freckles? - Charles says.
And suddenly I'm 6 years old being chased and bullied at school by a kid just because I have lots of freckles.
- Do you guys know each other? - Max asks.
