the F1 journey begins | Part 1

Chapter 6 : Saturday Morning

(Charles' POV againnn ✌🏻)

          As I wake up, I found Carlos already awake and Lando in the room with us. I got up and asked them the time, it was 8:35am. I overslept. I went in the bathroom and got dressed. I took my time as usual. Arranged my hair and started to text Monique. She did a story on instagram with me in it. I hearted it, and put it on my story. I don't care what others say. She's mine now. Even if the whole world finds out, I want them to know. Even if I'm not officially with her, I still want to show. As I got out, the boys told me that the girls were downstairs waiting. We had practice in 2 hours, and then 3 qualifying sessions as usual. She texted me saying good morning and that they were waiting. We left the room and went down to eat. I hugged her in front of everyone and went inside holding hands. Lando and Faith went in as a crazy couple. Lastly, Carlos and Leah went in casually as normal people would.

      Fast forward to after we ate, we went down to our cabins and got ready for the final practice before the qualifying sessions. There were three sessions too like practice, first one has to be top 15, then top 10, and lastly top 5. I had to take advantage of the last and final practice before the first qualifying session. I kissed Monique on the cheek and went into the car, checked the radio with the engineers. I went out of the pit stop and started to get the wheels ready as usual by going left and right. Then I did some laps to get used to it, and made a plan with the strategists and where the position start line is. I got lucky. I was second on the start line. It usually determined form the last race. I had a chance to win. I talked to Monique as usual and helped her to understand what would happen. She understood immediately and said some excellent plans to help me if something goes wrong. As the time went by, the practice session was supposed to be over. Carlos and I got back into the cabin with the car and went near the girls. Faith went to wait outside his cabin for Lando. Monique came running and jumped on me for a hug, Leah and Carlos just talked as usual and flirted a bit.

"I love your helmet hair" she told me as she touches my fluffy hair, according to her.
"Thanks, my little shorty" I said winking.
"Goddamn you. Perceval" she says grumpily.
"Awhhh I made her grumpy, a hug will help for sure" I said as I opened my arms. She came in and wrapped her arms around my waist. I did the same on her head. I scratched it gently and we letted go. Then we saw Faith and Lando coming.
"How about we go to our room? Just to relax a bit before our quali?" Lando suggested.
"Sure let's go!" Carlos says patting him on the back.

As we went upstairs, we met our manager again so we ended up doing at least 10 minutes talking about strategies and then left to go talk to our engineers. We went into the girls' room and locked the door. We all sat and watched some football since we had nothing to do. Carlos and Lando were screaming because the team was loosing. Whilst I was sleeping on Monique's shoulder. It was so soft. I started seeing the news on my phone, they made rumors about me and Monique dating! I showed it to the group and they were all shocked.

"Okay, we do flirt but come on." Monique told everyone.
"You should post saying that you're not together!" Leah says.
"Yet..." Lando and Carlos say smiling.
"I'll do it, I guess." I said looking at Monique. She nodded at me and was helping me. My English wasn't as good as hers.

Hello everyone. The rumors aren't true. I am not dating @monique_28. It is none of your business to know with who I am together with. Thank you everyone and I hope you all understand! ❤️

   I posted it on my story and breathed heavily. I excused myself and went to the balcony for fresh air. I was always unlucky and even with rumors. I hated them. I loved my fans honestly but some people get too obsessed that they follow every single move I do and then show the whole world. I hate it. Monique came after me asking what's wrong. I told her I didn't feel that good. She went to get me some water and made me sit down on the balcony chair. She got down on her knees and told me to look up while drinking just in case I was going to throw up. Thankfully I didn't and thanked her for everything. I got up and hugged her. We did a long hug and started to walk slowly left and right. It was soft. As time went by, we went inside and the girls made some toast for us before the qualifying. We all ate and talked about how excited we were. The first race was won by Carlos, I got second. Lando got fourth sadly. I really wanted to win.

       After eating, we all went into our room so we could get dressed into the qualifying suit. Mine was fully red with some yellow. Carlos had red with white this year. Lando had the new sponsor this year, monster went with McLaren now instead of Mercedes, so he had orange and black. We all got dressed and I was the last one. I made my hair extremely fluffy. After the race, the helmet will make it so much fluffier, Monique will be so happy. I got out and she was shocked.

"HELMET HAIR NEXT PLEASE!" She screamed at me while jumping.
"Calm down!" The others laughed as they prepared to go downstairs. I hugged Monique and we went down. I was shaking. We got down and went to our cabins. Lando went with faith and introduced the managers and all the McLaren team as his new girlfriend. She kept in contact with the girls while the race, of course. I kissed Monique and she told me that she was my good luck charm. She for sure was. She didn't know how special she became to me these 2-3 days. I got in the car and checked the car just to make sure, got the steering wheel and went out in the starting line. (Btw the bold words will be the presenter talking ‼️)

I got out on the track and waited for everyone...
