Unexpected love | Carlos Sainz Jr.

Chapter 37

— Ella POV —

I wake up with an arm wrapped around me, I immediately remembered what happened yesterday. Fuck I went home with Carlos and we had sex. He has a girlfriend and we had sex. This time I was the other woman, I felt the tears forming in my eyes. I knew how hard this was, so how could I to this to somebody else. I'm sniffling and wiping away my tears, when suddenly I feel Carlos shifting next to me. 'Mi cielo what is wrong, did you regret yesterday? Please don't cry.' He tries to pull me into a hug, but I do my best to keep my distance, because I know that from the moment he touches me I crumble under his touch. 'Off course I regret yesterday, first of all you dumped me for somebody else. Secondly you just didn't dump me for somebody else, you are also in a committed relationship with her. Carlos, you know I once was the ignorant girlfriend. I never wanted to do this to somebody else.'

'Please I can assure you it's not what it looks like. Their is not much more I can say. Do you wanna talk about Derek? I noticed you were back in touch' Carlos says. 'What do you mean? It's not because we went for a drink together that there is something between us. And even if it was it is non of your business.' I am yelling at him at this point. 'Ella, I know about the drugging, Lottie told me, please talk to me' he patted the bed next to him. So I took a seat again and started talking.
'Right after you announced on national television that you had a girlfriend, I got a note from Derek. He was saying how sorry he was and that he just wanted to catch up. So being angry and hurt I stupidly accepted. The first time we talked it was fine, he was like he used to be. So we went for drinks again, unfortunately it wasn't like the first time. We drank, he kept touching me and I kept pushing him of. Maybe I didn't make it clear enough I'm not sure.
But then I wanted to leave and that's when he drugged me. I was able to sent a text to Lottie and she came to my rescue.' I stopped talking and looked up again. Carlos was looking down, clenching his fists so hard they where white.

'And what happened with him?' Carlos says, anger clearly visible in his voice. ' I filed a complaint,but since nothing happened I think he will probably be walking freely already. I did file for a restraining order, but I don't think more will happen.' I have to admit I'm a bit scared to bump into him again. But there really isn't a lot I can do about it.
'I think maybe it's best you leave' Carlos isn't even looking at me when he says it. His voice sounds cold, not at all the caring tone it had some minutes ago.
'I'm sorry what?' I'm really startled by his sudden mood swing. 'I said that it's best if you leave, like you said I do have a girlfriend and yesterday was clearly a mistake. It should have never happened.'

I get up and start gathering my clothes, get dressed as quickly as I can. I turn around to Carlos, 'fuck you Carlos!' With that I slam the door behind me. I can't controle it any more and collaps against the door, sobbing because of how he just reacted. I tried to cover my mouth to muffle the sobs. After 10 minutes I decide to get myself together, I get up and start my walk over to Lando's.
