Unexpected love | Carlos Sainz Jr.

Chapter 40

— Ella POV —

I hear them shouting, was Carlos confessing to his girlfriend what happened last night. I try to understand what they are saying. When I focus back on the group, I see everybody staring at me, 'sorry what?' I say confused. Lottie looks at me intensely, 'we were saying that maybe we could go swimming first and then take the jetski's for a spin?'
'Oh that sounds like a great plan!' I say trying to focus on having some fun and forgetting all about that Spanish god that is also on this trip.

We change into our bikini's and go back to the boys. Carlo's and Ana have also rejoined the group. 'Wow you girls look hot!' Lando says, I see Carlos scanning my body, his eyes turning dark. He is licking his lips, he looks into my eyes and knows he has been caught staring. Lottie and Lando jump in together, they are so cute, I'm so happy for Lottie. But at the same time my heart aches, because I had hoped to be doing this with Carlos. I really saw it going somewhere. 'Come on jump in', they both yell at me. 'I'm not sure it looks so scary, maybe I will just enjoy the sun.' I shout back. Suddenly I feel a pair of hands on my hips, ' how about we jump together?' Charles asks. ' I will hold your hand and promise to not let go.' I agree to jump together. It's just the feeling of jumping in the unknown that scares me.

He locks our fingers together and he starts counting to 3, then we jump. When we drop into the water he keeps holding on. This really was an amazing feeling. Charles stays by my side asking if I'm still comfortabel. We take out some air mattrass, again Charles helps me get up and holds onto mine. Just to make sure I don't drift off. Suddenly Carlos shouts, 'where we going to drive the jetski's or what?' He really looks annoyed, he must have had a very big fight with his girlfriend. Because she hasn't joined us since we heard them shouting.

'Okey Ella already get on, just give me a second and I will be there.' Charles said. So I did as I was told and waited for Charles to join me. Since I hadn't done this before he was going to show me. Before I knew what was happening Carlos had jumped and yelled to hold onto him. He took off and I had no other choice then grabbing on for dear life. He drove the jetski a bit away from the others and slowed down, I could finally talk to him.

Carlos, what do you think
you are doing? Charles was
going to take me!

Are you really trying to
make me jealous mi cielo

Are you kidding me? Says
the one that's here
with his girlfriend!
Besides nothing is going on
between me and Charles!
He is just being nice, you should
try it sometimes!

Ella you don't know
what you are talking
about. If I could I
would be here with
you, but I can't .

Then explain it to me.
Please just talk to me,
because whatever
you have to say,
it can't make me feel
worse then how I feel right now.

Ella, I can't

Then take me back right now,
then I don't want to spend
another second with you.
I am just exhausted from
what happened with Derek,
with you and now again
the threats I just can't take anymore.

Ella, please I can't lose you

But Carlos you already
did, you chose Ana remember!

It's not what you think

Then explain it! Carlos if
I mean anything at all to you,
just explain it.

Fine! Derek contacted me
in my summer break. He said
I had to break things off with
you or he would share some
private pictures he had of you.
He also told me to make it look
like I had already moved on.
So that's why Ana is here
to pretend to be my girlfriend. 

Ella please I had fallen in
love with you! Do you really
think I would betray you
like that. But I had to
protect you, he said it
would ruin your life
and your career.

But Carlos don't you
see, it didn't work because
now he is threatening me as well.
If you had talked to me I wouldn't have
let him into my life again.

I know mi cielo, I was just
doing what I thought was right.
My team is still looking for a
way to stop him.

I might have an idea,
can we call them later?

Sure, let's call them now,
I will drive us back.
