What was I made for ?..

I will leave a light on...

As we head back up deck I see Charles standing with another man that's not any of his brothers. As soon as Arthur calls out to them I see that it's Pierre. Mine and Pierre's relationship has always been rocky, but luckily with the help of Kika he's really warmed up to me.

I think deep down he still has his doubts that I used his best friend and I guess in a few days I'll prove him right due to Ferraris orders. If only he knew how much I truly loved and admired his friend. Maybe when I leave Pierre's deep hatred for me will help Charles hate me too. Even though it will kill me inside I'd rather Charles hate me than hold on to everything I can't give him...

"Pierre"

"Mila"

"Such a pleasure as always, where's Kika? How come you're here?" I say whilst pulling him into a friendly hug.

"She's up top with the ladies, waiting for you actually. We were walking by when Charles invited us on. Is that ok with you?" He says.

"Of course, the more the merrier. I know you're just as glad that Charles is home as we all are. You're family Pierre." I say sincerely earning a shocked look from the Frenchman. I think every time we have a conversation he trust me more.

"Thank you Mila, I appreciate it."

"Anytime, Now excuse me boys I'm going to join the ladies up top." I wave goodbye to the boys, placing a soft kiss on Charles lips as I walk past. His eyes were glossed over with love, lust and admiration and he looked at me. I was his and he was mine anyone with eyes could see it.

As I approached the seating on the top deck I seen all the girls gathered round the table full of food and wine starring out into the ocean.

Pascale was the first to spot me.

"My Mila there you are! Come join us darling" she says as she gestures for me to take the seat beside her.

Kika turns around with the brightest smile. "I know it's only been a couple of days but I've missed you so much girl! You've really got to start answering your socials" she says as she squeezes me.

"I know I'm sorry with Charles away and then coming back I've been all over the place."

"Your boys home now dont worry and by the looks of it he never wants to leave you side ever again." She points behind me. Where Charles stood his linen shirt unbuttoned. The biggest smile on his face.

"Is it ok if I join you ladies? The boys are too busy discussing who's biceps have grew the most and I know I'd much rather be with Mini." He says getting closer to us pulling me in by my waist.

"Ugh you guys are so in love, but sure." Kika says, earning laughs from the rest of the Leclerc ladies.

We all take a seat around the table, everyone pouring a glass of wine waiting for someone to start a conversation.

"Charles?" Carla asked.

"Yes Carla?"

"Why do you call Mila, Mini? It's very cute but is there a reason?"

"Yeah even I don't know the answer to this... you started it after we went karting with everyone." I chime in to the conversation.

"Well... there was a girl I use to know also called Mila. Do you remember maman, she use to race with me? She was Totos daughter." I choke on my wine as he says this. Everyone looking at me weirdly. Charlotte and Carla looking very confused as if the cogs in their heads were working overtime.

"Yes I remember, what a sweet little soul. She was so beautiful, her mother on the other hand, a terrible woman. You actually kind of look like her Mila... I hope wherever she may be in the world she safe and ok." Pascale replies, deepening the thoughts of Carla and Charlotte.
