"I hope it's okay that I postet you in my story or do you want me to delete it?" Charles asks as he sees me staring at my phone. "Even if you deleted it right now, I still have billions of messages and following requests. But I'm fine with it." I respond calmly. "I made my account public, is that a good or a bad idea?" I ask him. " I mean it can get kinda annoying but it'll be okay and I think you're a perfect public figure" Charles responds.
But if I have so many followers and now am a person of public do I also have to post much and become an influencer?" I add in concern. I didn't know how to be an influencer, nor how to organize a good insta feed or edit videos for TikTok.
"I mean you don't have to but it's a good source of money and if you don't know how to be an influencer you can ask Kika! And obviously you don't have to be a huge influencer and advertise things you don't want to. I'll get a manager for you who'll help." Charles tells me.
"Thank you that would be great" I just nods and still look at my phone in disbelief . The pictures I posted two months ago, some pics of me in summer, already got one hundred thousand likes.
"By the way, was this a good sixth 'present' or would you like something else?", he asks.
" No , it was a good special. I think you might have given me the opportunity to be an influencer" I smile and look up. It's weird cause I wanna hug him and really tell him how much this meant to me. The insta story and that he made it official. But somehow I just couldn't."Thank you for uhm bringing me here last night after I uhm, took a little to many shots" "You drank over half a liter of vodka, Ami" he responds. My heart melted as he says my name. I love when he calls me by that special nickname he gave me .
"Uhm anyway, I would go shower now and uhm you know relax a little bit and do some alone time so uhm I wanted to ask-" "should I go? I'm sorry if I was annoying you, I'll get my stuff and leave, I'll call you!" He interrupts me before I can finish.
"I'm so sorry but I think I just need to clear my head a little" I apologize." It's okay Ami, I also have some stuff to do and I have this melody in my ear that I wanna play on the piano. Probably there'll be a new song in the next time!" He says happily.
I can't even say goodbye as he already slams my door. I see him walk out of my apartment and open his pretty Ferrari.
As I turn around wanting to start to clean my kitchen I realize my fast heartbeat. My heart still didn't act normal when he was around. I can't believe how gentle he was. I mean he brought me home and didn't disturb me at all. He just played the piano peacefully and when I said I needed to do some private things he immediately agreed to go.
As I am finished with the kitchen, which looks much cleaner now, I enter my bathroom and look into the round mirror hanging above the sink. I look pretty hangover but an easy I don't really feel like it cause Charles apparently gave me some pills last night to prevent from strong hungover symptoms. What a gentleman.
My reflection shows me wearing a messy bun, wearing an oversized t-shirt , Charles' obviously, and my panties.
I look at my phone again and go through my insta account. Oh my gosh. I've got 300k?! How the heck do so many people follow me in only one hour. That's crazy.
Right as I type in "sixteen" in my contact list to open our chat I already get a message from him.
"Found a manager for u" he sent and added a contact number to his message. I replied with a simple yes, I didn't wanna overreact because I could've easily gotten myself a manager.
I immediately message the new manager, a man in his mid twenties, looking nice on his profile picture.
After I went through my insta dm's again and again I decide to get ready to go out in public. I don't know what to do but I am sure I wanted to do at least something. So I grab my phone and ask Lando if he has ideas for plans. He answeres with a simple "Meet me at 3 in Le Croissánt " so instead of asking what he plans to do I jump in comfy mom jeans, put on a hot red bodysuit that snatches my waist even more and gives me an even better hourglass figure and wear my favorite Dior converse . I put a red bow in my hair to match my body and curl the ends of my hair.
I spray some of my favorite perfume on me and leave the house and am on my way to the little unknown cafe. I still feel kinda wobbly on my feet but after some steps I ignore my dizziness.
After I arrive at the small coffee shop I open the door and walk in. It seems pretty empty as all of a sudden everybody jumps up and shouts
"Surprise!!"
I'm completely confused, look around and laugh. "What the hell are y'all doing here?" I laugh out.
"After the stupid circumstances of yesterday we wanted to make you feel better and we thought about surprising you!" Lando shouts over the people.
I see Lando, Danny, Alex with Lily, Lewis, Carlos and him. My heart melts as I look into his eyes. Charles' eyes. He stands in the back of the shop and smiles at me. I just smile back and then continue talking to Lando ." Well thank you for this great surprise I'm so happy to see you all here!" I thank them.
"Oh you thought this was the surprise? Hell no that would be laaaame!! We got a way cooler surprise!" Danny sings to me.
After having a good chai latte and a cookie the others almost ran me over to get out of the cafe. They stood outside the exit and showed me my way to an open limousine. "What the hell guys it's not even my birthday!" I smile. What were they planning?
I jump into the back seat of the limousine, infront of me and next to me all of the other drivers and girlfriends.
The ride doesn't take that long and soon we arrive at our destination. The yacht harbor? What are we doing at the yacht harbor? I look at them in confusion and Lando smiles at my questioning face. "Come on Miss Roux" he gives me his hand to get out of the car and I almost feel like a celebrity, am I one? No, not yet.
Lando takes out a peace of fabric to cover my eyes. "Follow me" he squeaks, more excited for the surprise than I am.
We walk about two minutes and then we all come to a stop. I hear all of the others quietly talking and also some of them gasping.
"Okay princesse, you can now open your eyes" he says as he takes off the cover.
My eyes are flashed by the bright sunlight, even though it was November, the weather in Monaco was pretty good. I look up and see a huge yacht. A beautiful one. "Omg whose yacht is this? Are we gonna go on it?" I shout excitedly.
"It's yours Ami" I hear coming from one of the people standing behind me. I look around already knowing who said it but I still cant believe it. Right into my eyes looked Charles and smiled from ear to ear. As soon as do all the others. "Y'all are kidding me?" I say in disbelief. "No shut up y'all did not get me a fucking yacht?!" I now shout, are they joking ? What the fuck?
"Amélie, it's yours, we all put some money together and this is a present from us to you" Daniel tells me and goes in for a hug.
"You are kidding me thank you so much. This cost so much how could you?" I fray into his shoulder.
"It's not even that much and if everybody pays a little it's almost nothing" Carlos laughs. "Also, we wanted to give you something so you can spend summer on your own yacht if you're tired of all of us" he adds.
I go and hug everybody and thank them individually. As I come to Charles I just give him a short hug but it felt so good. I realize how much I've missed his touch. I stand infront of him and stand a little longer. "Did you organize this?" I ask with tears in my eyes. "Yes I did, Ami" he whispers, "special number seven, and look at the name of your pretty boat" he adds.
I look at the side of the yacht and then I see it. The yacht, my yacht has my mother's name on it. I can't but cry out, I run to him again and hug him so tight as if I never wanted to let go. "Thank you so much" I whimper into his shoulder. "Everything for you" he whispers in my ear as he strokes my back.
"Well that was a good surprise I guess!" Danny shouts. "Shall we take a first cruise?" Lando screams happily. "I'll be the captain!" Carlos says and immediately runs to the steering wheel so nobody else could take his position.
I laugh and walk on the yacht, my yacht. I still can't believe it.
