Chapter 8

A/N: In an earlier Charles bought her a dress, I've now decided I don't like that dress, so I changed in in this chapter, but I CBA to go back and change it so just go along with it😉. I think this one suits her style better.

I woke up this morning still in Charles' arms. Something felt off though, I turned over and noticed the sun was out, I checked the time, it was 9:30. I began scrambling to get out of bed, I hated waking up late, it made me feel like I was missing out on the day. 

"What you doin'?"  Charles squinted covering his eyes from the sun. 

"It's half nine, I'm late" I was sat on the edge of the bed, putting on some fluffy socks on.

"No, you're not, you're early." He wrapped his arms around my waist "I've been told we can't leave this room till 10" 

"Why not?" I scrunched up my face.

"Lando wouldn't tell me" He shrugged.

I flopped back onto the bed, lying horizontal with my head rested on Charles' chest.

"I think I'm gonna call Lola, she has football every Saturday, she'll be in the car now" 

"Ok you do that" He wasn't really paying attention, just sat on his phone. 

"Hey girly" I said as she picked up the phone after two rings.

"Oh lord I feel like it's been ages" 

"Girl, it's been two days, you're just dramatic" I laughed. 

"Where are you?" She looked confused.

"Well, I wanted to get up but Lando and the rest of them won't let me and Charles leave our room, so here we are" I panned the camera to him, he just smiled.

"Damn girl, he's ripped"  I felt his chest move as he smirked.

"His ego just grew like four sizes" 

"Six actually" He interrupted me winking, he was referencing his six pack.

"Shut up dinlo" I put my middle finger up at him. 

Lola told me all about the drama from my old school, it made thankful I didn't have to go that hellhole. I told her everything that's happened in Monaco, with Charles adding in a few details I was trying to avoid, like the fact he had to pull me away from smacking some girl.

"My coach is gonna go mental if I stay on this phone for one more minute, I'm supposed to be warming up" 

"Ok babe, good luck, love you" I blew her a kiss.

"Love you too" She blew a kiss back and hung up.

"What's the time?" Charles asked we were both getting impatient at this point. 

"Ten to" We still had to wait ten minutes. "I'm gonna knock see if they're ready early." 

I shouted through the door.

"Give us a minute" A French accent yelled back, followed by frantic whispers and a small crash, me and Charles gave each other the same worried look "Ok, we're ready" 

We left the room, they were all waiting in front of the kitchen, with proud smiles.

"What have you lot been doing?" They all moved at my words. They revealed six plates, each holding a full English breakfast. "Oh my gosh, why?" My voice went all high-pitched.

"To say thank you, Charles for being the host and tour guide and to Estrella an apology for having to put up with our antics" Max explained with the same smile as a minute ago.
