I woke up early but Charles was still sleeping. I took my phone and saw like a million instagram notifications. What's going on? I opened my ig and then I saw what caused all this.

Kika's story...She made a photo of me and Charles and put it on her instagram. I think it was obvious in paddock yesterday already that we aren't just friends but maybe it was to rush for me. It all happened so fast. Like, 2 days ago I ran away from him. Yesterday I woke up and went on breakfast with him and I suddenly appeared in the paddock represented like his girlfriend. I just don't know if it's better to tell people or keep going out together, being seen but not officially dating.
"Hey love." Charles woke up. "Good morning!" "How did you sleep?" He asked with his sleepy voice, oh how I love his sleepy voice. "Pretty good, what about you? Ready for P1 in quali today?" "Yeah, I mean the most beautiful woman was sleeping next to me so how could I sleep bad?" I didn't say anything just kissed him and and I snuggled up to him.
"Love, you know i would love to lay here with you all day, but we need to get up." Charles said after while. "I know, please 5 more minutes!" I said and looked at him with my puppy eyes, it always works. "Lia, we are going to be late...fine 2 minutes." "Fine okay 4 minutes." "Lia!? I said 2!" He said and we both started to laugh. "What? I heard 4!" "Or you can stay here and watch me from home, I don't mind..." Charles said but I knew he didn't mean it. "Fine, let's get up." "I'm going to take a shower and then we can go for breakfast?" "Sure, I'm super hungry so please be fast!" I told Charles with a giggle. "Should I remind you yesterday's dinner when I waited for u 20 minutes in the car?" "Stop it! I'm a girl! Now go." "Yes madam."
Meanwhile Charles was in the shower I texted Kika if they'll join us for the breakfast.

How can they get up so early? "I'm ready!" Charles shouted from the bathroom. "Finally!" It was a bit weird because all hotel staff was looking at me like on some one night girl because Kika and Pierre are both registered there but I just came there yesterday. The breakfast was amazing, I love hotel breakfasts. We decided to just sit there for a while and talk over our morning coffees. "So what time you need to leave for the circuit? "What time is it now?" Charles said and looked to his watches. "It's 9:27." I responded. "That's a lot already, I need to get myself ready, can we leave?" "Sure, let's go." We were in the elevator when I realized that I don't have any clothes here. "Char, I don't have any clothes here, only what I wore yesterday." "I can borrow something." Charles said with a smile. "Yeah sure, so can we please go to my place when you will be ready?" "Of course, give me 10 minutes and we can go." "Okay, love you." "Love you to Lia." It didn't take him 10 minutes, it was like 30 so it was obvious we are going to be late again. "Char please I need to change too!" "Yes, give me a minute." "You said the same thing 10 minutes ago! Please!" "Okay let's go." Charles was supposed to be at the circuit 10:30, so we both knew he won't be there at the time. We rushed to my place where I super quickly changed and then we rushed back to the circuit.
CHARLES'S POV
I was stressed all night about this day. It's clear that Elizabeth will try to find Lia and talk nonsence and bullshits to her. "So love, you are going to be with Kika?" "Actually I was thinking about staying in the paddock." "Oh really?" "Any problem with that?" "No, no everything is fine." We arrived to the circuit and people immediately started to make crown around us. Photographers started so make photos of us and before we could say something all pics were online.

We arrived late so I didn't have time for checking articles on the internet. "Char, they are articles about us everywhere with pics they took few minutes ago!?" Lia said as she was terrified of it a bit. "Welcome to wag world love." I said and hugged her trying to calm her down. "They are also writing about your ex girlfriend..." "Elizabeth? Yeah, I wanted to tell you something about her...She is..." I said but then engineers came and said I need to go with them. "What's going on with her? Charles?" I heard Lia shouted. "I will tell you later." "Fine, I'm going to find Kika meanwhile."
I didn't have time to tell her about Elizabeth. She is here. All paddock is talking about her.
LIA'S POV
I was walking through the paddocks reading that articles about us. I didn't pay attention to people around so I accidentally bumped to someone. "I'm so sorry!" I said immediately. "It's okay don't worry." "I'm really really sorry again." "Don't worry about it, also do you know where VIP premium balcony is?" "I'm on my way there so you can go with me if you want?" "Sure, thanks!" "Anytime, I'm Lia by the way." "I'm Beth, nice to meet you Lia." The girl said as she was so nice. "So, with who are you here that you have VIP Premium?" I asked but didn't want to sound like some curious. The girl didn't answer for a while she was just reading something in her phone. "Oh sorry! I'm here to see my very good friend." "Really? That's great, you can sit with me and my friend if you want." "Of course, thank you." "It's nothing." I said and smiled at her. We were almost at our table where Kika was already. She gave me weird face but I didn't understand why. "Hey Ki! This is Beth, she will sit with us." "Hi, I'm Beth." Beth said and smiled at Kika. "Oh, hello Beth, I'm Ki." Everything was fine. Me and Kika left for a while to see our loves and wished them good luck in quali. Kika was still acting a bit weird but I didn't pay attention to that.
CHARLES'S POV
"Good luck to my biggest love!" I heard someone behind me. "Thank you Lia..." "What going on Char? Are you mad at me?" "No, I'm just stressed about quali." "Okay, see you later than..." Lia said, it was obvious that she was sad about how I acted. I'm idiot. I wasn't stressed out about quali, I was stressed about Elizabeth in paddock... "Hey Kika, are you with Lia?" I called Kika because I needed to know the situation. "No, but I'm on my way to her, why?" "Because I know that Elizabeth is here and that she will try to talk to Lia..." "Don't worry, she already did, she's sitting with us our table." "What?" "Yeah, girls accidently bumped to each other's and then El joined us at the balcony." "Fuck, this wasn't supposed to happen, what should I do know Ki? Please you need to help me!" "You should told Lia Charles!" "I know, I was trying to tell her immediately when I found out but then I needed to go..." "You are so stupid Charles! Like you really are! I will try to solve it somehow." "Thank you Ki, so much!"
