Right On Track

Chapter 29

*The next week*

"Are you crazy?!"Kiara slapped Max's hand as he nearly dropped his phone over the railing and into the water.
Max raised his hands in defence."The seagull scared me!"
Kiara slapped her palm against her forehead,shaking her head.
Max shrugged,shoving his phone into his pocket as he looked out at the yaugts in the bay.He looked up at the sky and said."At least there's some decent weather today in Monaco..."
Kiara sighed."I swear,if it rains-"
"What?You planned on going to the beach or something?"He frowned.
"No,"She shook her head."I wanted to sleep in."
He lifted an eyebrow."But how does the rain affect..."
"Thunder."Kiara crossed her arms."That's how it's going to affect my nap,Max."
"Normally,I just sleep through it all."He said.
"Well,some of us-"
"Please,don't turn this into some pointless argument."Charles sighed,walking out of the restaurant and approaching them.
Kiara frowned,but turned back to look at the bay,the boats and busy people all around.She had arrived in Monaco last weekend,only one day after returning from Formentara.Tomorrow,though,she and Max would have to catch a flight to Milton Keynes,then Baku after that.Max had already been staying at his place here in Monaco for a few days.And Charles had come along with Kiara when she had arrived.
"I'm going home."Kiara sighed,turning to walk to the parking lot.
"With what car?"Charles asked,waving the keys to her Ferrari in one hand.
"How did you even-"She tried to make a grab for it.
"I might have mixed up the keys and given yours to Charles..."Max said,since she had left her keys with him before using the restroom,which probably meant that she had his keys.The only person who had their own set was Charles.
Kiara pulled Max's keys from her pocket."Then,I'm stealing your car for that."
"No,wait!"He said,reaching out to grab his keys.
Kiara tossed it at him,then turned to Charles and motioned for him to hand over hers.
Charles eventually gave it to her,then she waved at them,saying."Adios."
"Uhh,bye?"Max lifted an eyebrow,watching as she left and got into her Ferrari Spider 458.

Back at home,she parked the car in her garage and went into the house,going up to her room and sitting on her couch.She took a sip from the Red Bull in her hand and pulled out her phone,hoping to see a message from a certain person.
Instead,the latest text was from Ivy.

Ivy: Kiaraaaaaaa

Kiara: ???

I: Race weekend is coming up!

K: Mhm...I'm aware.

I: Oh,come on.Lighten up.

K: I'm tired.

I: 😐

Kiara went on to looking at the next message,sighing to herself while looking down at the screen.

Daniel: Hiiiii

Kiara: Hi?

D: Where are you?

K: Monaco.

D: And you couldn't tell me?

K: 🤷‍♂️

D: Did you go with Carlos?

K: No,why would you just assume that?!

D: Because you've basically spent most of your break with him.

K: So?

D: So,I would assume you're still with him wherever you are.

K: I wish I could slap you right now.

D: Relax,Ki!
But seriously,though...Everything is fine,right?
