This is how to be a heartbreaker ♪

Melanie Albon POV

I woke up pretty well, besides the fact that I was sleepy and tired but I had a plane to catch so fuck that. I sat down and took some deep breaths as I heard George in the bathroom.

"Are you going on the same flight?" I ask as I see George is up and already brushing his teeth.

"You are going with Alex, so yes," he says when he finishes brushing his teeth, and I get up in only his shirt.

"How much time do we have?" I ask as I get closer to the bathroom, and he unlocks his phone.

"For what?" He asks curiously.

"Probably not what you are thinking of. I need to go to my room and I still have to take a shower and get dressed before going to the airport."

"We need to leave in half an hour so you should go into the shower, give me the card to your room and I will bring you your stuff in 5 minutes," he says calmly and I nod in agreement.

I was not going to wash my hair here, I prefer to do it at Alex's house in Monaco. I got with the towel wrapped around my body and George was putting his things into his suitcase while I did so.

I chose my clothes from my suitcase and went into the bathroom to put them on. I was ready to leave. We passed by my room to make sure nothing was left behind by George, which wasn't and headed downstairs. Alex had just gotten there with Lily and Nina and they smiled.

"Ready to go?" He asks as George pays and I nod.

"All set to go home," I say happily.

We divided into two cabs and went to the airport, the first-class flight to Nice was easy and I was by Nina's side which made it even better. She told me about a guy she met at the party, and I didn't tell her anything about George.

I come from a big family, we are 6 kids overall and going back to London means going back to a full house, so I love Monaco, and I also share a flat in London with Nina so I can have a bit more privacy.

I make some crazy money with photography; I have brand deals, I receive money from the teams, and sometimes even their sponsors pay me because the pictures are great. I have so many followers that I make money with every post.

Once we got to Alex's apartment I lay down on the couch and I saw him coming in my direction, Lily had a meeting so she ran to his room and was there.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask curiously, and he shrugs.

"He is my best friend, and you are my sister."

"And your name is Alexander. Are we stating the obvious?" I ask as I sit down to look at him from a better angle.

"I don't like this. I'm not too fond of the possibility that any of you might end up hurt. This is funny until it isn't, someone will catch feelings, I've warned you time and time again to stop it. You are my little sister, and I have to look out for you," he is nervous and worried. He is being the big brother; he always is.

"Have you seen me get hurt because of a man? It's not going to happen. Stop worrying about it, if I ever have feelings for George I can work it out myself. You won't get caught in the middle."

I won't, though; I just said it because Alex will have to believe there is a chance between us, or he will warn George, and I won't win the bet. And I paid a lot of money for my vacation in December.

"Just be careful. Williams wants you at Monaco, they will give you access to anything you want," he says as he gets up and I hear Nina getting back, she was taking a video call from her mom. She would come back to London after the Monaco Grand Prix.

"So, what's the plan?" She asks me curiously once Alex leaves the living room. I try not to laugh as I remember what she whispered to me. Destroy his feelings, not his bed.

"None, I will just get closer and closer; he will have to give in. I usually run from him the whole weekend, so I won't run. I will be between Williams and Mercedes."

"That is your plan? Oh, I will ask for the vacation time in December, you are making this too easy," Nina says happily and I roll my eyes.

"Just watch; this is how you get a man. Slowly but surely, everything is in my favor," I am confident in my words; I knew I could do this.

A bet is a bet; I like to win, and I will win. I spent the week going out with them. George and Alex went out to the gym in the mornings, but I never saw him. He posted the pictures I took, and people were going crazy in the comments, saying I always took the best pics of him.

I skipped the press conference and the media pen and only showed up on Friday with my brother, Lily, and Nina, who were also with us. But I had to go back to the car to get my purse; I had the camera and everything, but the purse got forgotten. I was having problems when I got back, and I don't even know why.

"We can't let you in," the security guard says, even when I had the paddock pass in my hand.

"She is with me," I hear George's voice as he takes my paddock pass and manages to open the gate.

"Thank you," I say as we finally enter the paddock.

"Loved the pics; they were amazing; good job," he says as he walks through the paddock. I pick up the camera and start taking pics of George as he signed stuff and took pictures with fans. He looked genuinely nice in those moments.

"Mercedes loved them too; they gave me access to the garage and motorhome/hospitality. I signed an agreement not to disclose information, so I work with both Mercedes and Williams officially," I tell him as he gets back to my side, and I let the camera hang from my neck; it's a bit heavy, but I can handle it.

"I'm glad. Did they forgive the death threats you sent me two months ago? They were legitimately thinking of hiring a security team," he comments, and I laugh.

"I told them that it was a misunderstanding, which is true," I defend myself, and he nods.

"I will tell them the same thing then," he says calmly, and we arrive at the Mercedes motorhome.

"Could you show me around, or will that take too much time?" I ask curiously, and he nods.

"Of course," he says excitedly.

So here I go on a guided visit through Mercedes. I waited for him to change and he took me to the garage, some people were obviously curious but I got to be with Roscoe for a bit and then talk to Lewis, which was good because he was excited about new pictures. These months will be interesting.
