CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT | Charles Leclerc

Chapter 20

Charles' pov

I groaned as the door knocked, which thankfully got Pierre up to open it for me as the last thing I wanted to do tonight was talk to anyone other than my friends.

"Oh" I heard from Pierre as he opened the door. I tried to look around the corner at who it was but Pierre's body filled most of the doorway so I couldn't quite tell, until he gestured for me to come over.

Who could it be? I thought to myself as I got up. There was no one I was expecting so it would probably just be a fan who I most definitely wasn't in the mood to talk with.

But no.

It was completely different from that.

As Pierre moved out of the way I looked out the door, and that was when I saw her. It was Luci. She was beautiful as ever, although she looked tired and worried.

"Luci" was all I could fathom while I stared straight into her eyes - still not fully convinced she was actually in front of me.

"Is this a bad time?" She asked as her face dropped slightly, which broke my heart into a thousand pieces.

I shook my head, unable to get words out of my mouth.

She cleared her throat, attempting to prolong the time before she spoke.

"I'm so sorry. I know it's not your fault. I can't avoid you anymore." She blurted out as if she was about to explode.

Knowing she wasn't angry lifted a weight off my shoulders. All I had thought about all evening was her and the fact I could've lost her forever. But I haven't. She was here, in front of me. And that's all I needed.

I was quickly knocked out of my gaze when she asked me to say something, I laughed knowing she hadn't changed as I walked toward her and cupped my hands around her face and pulled her in.

As our lip were brought back together I felt her body loosen around me as I bought her further into my grip.

Everything felt perfect. Everything felt right.

When I looked into her smiling eyes as we pulled apart, I knew this was everything I wanted, and suddenly the press and media was no longer a problem. I know that she will be mine. She is mine. And nothing can stop that.

-Authors Note-
It's been a while... but I'm back!! Somehow, it's been just over a month since the last chapter?? I'm sorry to leave you all on a cliffhanger for so long I've been so busy but I'm hoping I'll be able to update a little bit more often (probably not weekly again though sorry) but in the past month we've hit 18k reads!! At a peak we were #1 in some tags (dropped off heavily though but that's entirely my inactive fault) and our TikTok is close to 1.2k followers!!! So thank you so so much I didn't expect my silly little fic to even get 50 reads so this is truly insane!!
On another note, it's the last race weekend of the season which feels insane knowing that I started this fic during summer break!?!? But honestly don't know what I'm meant to watch at the weekend until February!!
I hope you're all well and thank you for your patience <3
Lots of love,
Bels xo
