— HER POV —

What the hell? Why is he walking away? Why is he acting like that? Did I do smth? I should go to training but I just can't... I felt a tear rolling down my face. Shit. I quickly walk away to hide in a room and as I sat down in a corner and curled up like a ball I felt the tears running down my face and I just let them. It feels so good and so bad at the same time. I hear a door opening but I'm not moving. Suddenly I felt two arms around me, hugging me tightly. I let myself fall into the arms of that person and cry at their shoulder. „Everything's fine. I'm here for you."

„Charles?"

„No, It's me Mil" Damn they really sound so similar. „I saw you running away, crying, so I followed you. What happened?" He stroked my back. I hesitated but then I told him and he freezed. „He did what?! Lo ucciderò."
(⭢... I'll kill him.)

„No, per favore no." „Perché? E perché non mi hai detto che parli italiano?"
(⭢No please not) (⭢Why? and why didn't you tell me you speak Italian?)

"Promettimi solo che non lo farai. Volevo solo mantenerlo segreto, per favore non dirlo a nessuno, ok?"
(⭢Just promise me you won't. I just wanted to keep it a secret, please don't tell anyone, okay?)

"Bene. Ma ho un'idea su come puoi farlo ingelosire, sai? Lasciando che si penta di averti fatto questo."
(⭢Fine. But I have an idea how you can make him jealous, you know? Letting him regret doing this to you)

He whispers smth in my ear. „Let me think about this." He nods and after I calmed down, we went back to our teams, who were meeting at the track. I earned a weird look from Charles as we walked there together. I stood next to Arthur, so I took this chance and interlocked my fingers with Arthurs. I saw the looks of the other people and the angry one of Charles so I grinned. After the little meeting we had training (Not driving).

Two hours later, I was on my way to my car as I met Arthur. I saw some fans watching us, bcs they for sure saw us holding hands. I didn't recognize Charles, who was walking up to me. With my little gesture, I agreed with Arthur to have a little fake relationship. To make it seem more reel, I come closer to him and kiss him on the cheek. I don't want to rush. Seeing the fans gasping and taking photos made me smile. Charles should pay for what he did to me. That was just heartless. Like he is. And I know he likes me and he did too. I saw mouth drop. ME and Arthur looked at each other. We don't have to use words to share our thoughts. He leaned down and kissed me. We know each other so well, so it was a bit weird but it was...good. Not only the fact that Charles is angry as fuck, it felt good to kiss Arthur.

Maybe I really like him? Can I like two boys? Noooo. Can I? I'm so confused. Some fans were cheering, some were recording and some were disappointed. Some fans always shipped me and Charles, cause we were always getting on each others nerves. They call it „hate love". I even saw a few TikTok edits of us like whatttt. Okay yeah we like each other but he made us enemies again. I just smiled at Arthur and he did too. I whispered in his ear „Thanks. It was really...helpful." I whispered so quiet that I thought he couldn't hear me „And good". He smirked „Always for you. I liked it too." Uhm yeah he definitely heard it and I blushed. „Uhm I have to go now. By amore." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran off. It was just so weird. While driving home I had to think abt Arthurs kiss...His soft lips on mine... Like nothing else would matter... OH SHIT I better not think of him again cause I nearly crashed into a Ferrari. Shit. It was Charles.

He cut me off. What the fuck? I honk at him but he drives off in a definitely too fast speed. I just hope he won't crash. Ugh why am I worrying about him? I should be angry.

An hour later, I got dressed for the meeting. It was at a fancy restaurant and Arthur wanted to drive me cause he would be there too ofc. Arthur drove by and I got in his car. As soon as we arrived, he opened the door for me and suddenly there were many paparazzi and fans so he grabbed my hand and and interlocked our fingers as we walked into the building. He sat down next to me and held my hand through the entire meeting. He's so sweet. Charles and I had to go outside so they could discuss. There were many Paparazzi and journalists again „What is going on between you and Arthur Leclerc? Weren't you together with Charles King?" „What, no. Arthur and I are together yes. But not Charles. Never." I looked at Charles in disgust. As soon as I said these words, Charles turned and walked back in. I tried to ignore him, but the people here are annoying so I went back again too.

A few minutes later, we sat back down and Fred started to talk. „After a long discussion and good thinking we've come to a decision."

I could feel the tension in the room and Arthur grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly. I was so nervous. This could be a really good chance for me and my carrier. Even though everyone besides us two knew who got chosen, was everyone still quiet. „The temporary driver driving for Carlos will be" He made a dramatic pause.

"Charles."
