''How's that cake?''
''It's really good, thank you mama'' I smiled taking the last bite of the Swedish cheesecake my mum made.
It was now May 2018. I've been seeing my mom more frequently recently.
''How're things between you and Charles?'' She asked crossing her arms and shuffling in her chair.
''What do you mean-'' I said mid chewing, how're things between me and Charles??
''Well a little birdie told me he gave you his phone number so you guys can sort things out.''
''I'm guessing that little birdie is Mrs. Leclerc?'' I said standing up from the dining table bringing both mine and my mums plates to the sink to wash. She turns around in her seat to face me standing at the sink and she nods.
''Of course'' I roll my eyes playfully and laugh to myself.
''Tell me then'' She demanded.
''There's nothing to tell. It's been a whole year and you're only asking about it now. I haven't talked to him.'' I said looking down at the dishes as I washed the other bits in the sink.
''Why not?
''Why would I want to talk to him? I really don't see the point.'' I shrugged drying my hands then sitting back down. ''We'd probably argue or something anyway''
''I think you should reach out to him, and at least meet him for a coffee and catch up on everything.''
Maybe she's right. Maybe I should text him and catchup with him.
I've been putting it aside and avoiding it for a whole year because I didn't want to get caught up with feelings for him. Since I saw him there with Alice something in me switched, as happy as seeing him for the first time after 5 years, seeing him with Alice also kinda like, gave me the green light in a way, to get over him for good. And its been working quite well.
I met this guy when I was out and about doing my stuff in town and we've been on a few dates. I haven't told anyone, not even Lando.
''Maybe, i'll think about it. But I've actually been seeing someone recently'' I revealed, she seemed surprised. She didn't say anything just gave me a surprised look. She changed the topic. She didn't seem to happy about that for some reason.
I left not long later. I don't know why me telling her I've been seeing someone surprised her so much. I do remember her always expressing that she cant wait for mine and Charles wedding, but that was so many years ago, when we were still kids.
I shrugged it off. Whatever.
As I walked to my favourite chill spot I get a text.
''Lunch in 30?x'' I smiled at the text from Patryk.
''Absolutely :)'' I replied putting my phone away. I really liked him.
I sat down on my bench and closed my eyes throwing my head back. Everything in my life was going so well. No complications, no drama, nothing. Everything was amazing.
I spend another 10 minutes there before heading into town. I get to the place Patryk and I were meeting for lunch and I see him already sitting at a table. I approach the table and he stands up and hugs me.
''You look beautiful'' He said sitting back down smiling. ''Thank you'' I smiled.
We stayed at the food place for a few hours. Time flew by.
I found out Patryk really liked Formula One and that he knows basically everything about it and how he tries to go to all the races. He was talking about some of the new drivers.
''Charles Leclerc join this year too for Alfa Romeo Sauber F1'' My eyes widened when he said that. Charles? In Formula one? I chocked on my food a little bit hearing that.
''Are you alright?'' He wondered putting his hand out toward me.
''Ye-Yeah im fine''
''Do you know him? You looked shocked when I said his name'' he laughed ''He's a really good driver I seen his past races, he's really good, I wouldn't be surprised if you did know who he was''
''No, I don't know him''
''He's from here, I thought you might've.''
We ate our food, drank our drinks. He bought me a lot of drinks since this was a food place bar type of thing. We also went from sitting outside to inside.
At this point I was completely drunk. He didn't seem too drunk, but he just kept the drinks going.
(! TW !)
As the night went on Patryk got a lot more touchy and close. I didn't mind in that moment. I was having fun. There was loud music, so many people, this was more of a pub the later it gets.
I didn't know that but at this point I was dancing and singing on the dancefloor with my drink in my hand with Patryk dancing in front of me laughing.
I began to feel Patryk's hand run down my body as I'm dancing cms away from him. His arms now on my lower back he begins to pull me in closer. I don't pay attention to it and continue dancing in his embrace. I was too drunk to care.
Everything was blurry, but I was having fun. Everything that was happening was a blur. Drinks just kept coming. I could feel Patryk's breath on my neck as he began kissing my neck, gently, then roughly leaving hickeys. I tried to pull away but he held me in place.
We were in some corner that had those horse hoof shaped couches. My head felt so heavy, Patryk was basically on top of me now leaving hickeys all over my upper chest, neck, and collarbones. I try to push him off but he just throws my hand to the side.
''I-I don't feel good'' I managed to mumble out and he unsuctioned himself from my body. ''You'll be okay babygirl, I'll get you another round of drinks in a minute. ''But-'' I couldn't finish my sentence when I felt his hand rubbing my upper thigh.
I closed my legs but he pulled them back open.
No. This is not going to happen.
It can't.
Not like this.
''I have to go.'' I said firmly trying to lift myself out from under Patryk.
''You don't have to go anywhere.'' He groaned pulling me back. His grip now firmer as he moved his hand onto my panties and his other hand holding my throat.
''Ple-please n-no''
I couldn't do anything.
I'm too weak, he's twice my size.
His grip on my throat was strong. I don't think he was aware of that. I couldn't breathe properly at moments.
Out of no where I then felt a sudden relief. I could breath, I didn't feel a body on top of mine.
I rub my eyes to get a clearer vision of what was going on. My vision was blurry no matter how much I rubbed them. I just saw two figures standing and one of them was grabbing the other ones shirt collar aggressively.
"who the fuck are you"
Is the last thing i heard. That's all I remember. I must've passed out or something after that.
I wake up to bright sunlight beaming into the room. I'm blinded by the light as I sit myself up and rub my eyes and stretch.
I don't recognise this room. Where am I? I look down and I wasn't wearing my clothes, I was wearing my underwear and a large white shirt.
Who's shirt is this.
Oh no, did Patryk and I-
No.. we couldn't've
''Look who's finally up''
