i miss you, i'm sorry / C.L.

Breakin' dishes when you're disappointed

F1 was in Monaco, which meant Charles was gonna be there too. All the attention was gonna be on him, the home hero, Monaco's golden boy.

"Charles!"

"Charles s'il vous plait!"

"Charles!"

Charles was wearing dark shades. He signed a few caps and took selfies. He was at the entrance of his building. Jo looked out the window, hearing the commotion, she was careful not to be seen. She smiled softly when she saw him.

Charles made his way up and before he could unlock the door, this one swung open. He chuckled when Jo jumped into his arms. He spun her around and kissed her, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"How are you my love?" He whispered smiling against Jo's lips.

"Better now." She smiled. "I made vanilla cake. This time on my own." She spoke walking towards the kitchen and Charles followed her with his eyes.

"Did you?" He asked and she bit her under lip slightly.

"Maybe Pascale helped me a bit." She squinted and Charles laughed. "She said she'd be here in a few." She added as she cut a slice of the cake.

"Oh, I told her I'd see her at the hairdresser. I want to get a haircut." Charles spoke as he walked towards the kitchen. "Thank you." He kissed Jo's cheek as she gave him the plate with the cake.

"I could go with you." She spoke as Charles tried the cake.

"It's too crowded baby. Maybe it's for the best if you stay in for a couple of hours." He spoke and Jo's smiled faded.

"Oh." She whispered.

Charles immediately put the cake on the counter when he saw her smile drop. He grabbed her hands gently.

"Hey, we can stay in and watch a movie after. We don't have to leave the apartment, right?" He spoke in a soft tone and Jo chuckled softly looking down.

"Did you just use a line from my song?" She asked tilting her head and he chuckled.

"I love your song." He relief and she looked up at him.

"Well then you're gonna love the news I have." Jo spoke and Charles looked at her attentively. "I sent it to the discography and they told me it was great." She spoke and Charles smiled excited.

"I knew it." He put his hands on her shoulders.

"And I'm also doing a show in a local bar. They told me it would be good to put myself out there." She spoke scrunching her nose.

Charles chuckled and pulled her in a hug.

"I'm so proud of you." He chuckled and looked at her. "When?" He asked rubbing her cheek softly with his thumb.

"Tomorrow night." She replied. "You obviously got front row seats. And you can bring your mom, Arthur, Lorenzo, Carlos, Max, Lando, Joris, Pierre, Andrea and whoever you like." She added as her eyes switched from his eyes to his lips.

"We wouldn't lose it." He smiled and she chuckled leaning in to kiss him.

"I love you." She whispered putting her hand on his cheek.

"I love you too." He whispered. "To infinity." He added and Jo chuckled softly.

"So you're dating a superstar?" Joris asked as they walked in the bar.

"Mate, she's for real an amazing singer. I've heard her." Arthur replied and Joris raised his eyebrows.
