CHARLES' POV:

I watched as Alice made her way through the doors of her apartment building and up the stairs. I turned and started to make my way home. It was cold I had to admit but I definitely didn't tell Alice that because I knew she would instantly feel bad and force me to take my jacket back.

As I made my way through the all too familiar streets of Monaco, I couldn't get my mind off of
her. The way she smiled after making a joke and the way she giggled when I made one. The way she looked wearing my jacket, and I know I've only known her for over a day but I just want to spend as much time with her as I can before I leave for the next race. It was currently Saturday- well technically Sunday, since it was way past midnight and I left for Miami on Wednesday night.
I tried to keep myself from falling asleep standing up as I made my way up the stairs to my apartment
And when I got in the first thing I saw my Arthur lying face down on my couch. Great.

I made my way to bed, deciding I would finishing cleaning tomorrow morning before I picked Alice up. To make sure I didn't oversleep this time I set about five alarms between the times 10:45 and 11:15 just to be safe.

I quickly took off my jeans and my shirt and hopped into bed and when I turned on my phone I smiled to myself as I saw a notification pop up on my screen.

ALICE'S POV:

My long lasting sleep was rudely interrupted by a phone call from Charles leclerc.

It was 11:17 and my phone started to ring.
I picked it up and answered before I even looked at the display name of the person calling.

"Rise and shine smith, im outside let me in''
Charles said annoyingly chirpily down the phone.

"No'' i answered shortly, still trying to get my eyes to fully focus on my surroundings after just waking up.

"Come on i brought you a crossaint'' he was speaking so loudly i could hear him from outside my window.

"Ugh fine'' i groaned and hung up

I groggily slipped on my uggs and made my way down the stairs to wear Charles stood outside waiting with a brown paper bag in his hand,glasses on, covering his eyes from the sun and a bandana holding his hair back from his face.

"Bonjour mon pote'' (good morning my pal)
Charles said with a smile, pulling his glasses off to get a better view of my fluffy spiderman pyjamas, which caused him to double over laughing at me.

I just groaned as i clearly wasn't in the mood to go sight seeing this early.

"Not a morning person I take it, now could you please open this gate for me before I burn to a crisp"

"Nope'' I giggled.

"Alice'' he warned.

"Ugh fine, but only if you promise to never wake me up this early ever again'' i pointed a finger at him as i made my way to the gate.

"Promise'' he held his hands up in the air as a way of surrendering.

I opened the gate and he walked into the apartment lobby.

"Wait, you have to pinky swear'' I stopped him by putting my hand on his chest.

"Are you being serious?'' he raised his eyebrows and scoffed.

"I take my pinky promises very seriously Leclerc''
I say as i stick out my pinky finger.

He rolls his eyes and interlocks his pinky finger with mine. We stay like that for a moment as he looks into my eyes.

I clear my throat, trying to break the silence.

"Come on, get dressed, i have a lot planned'' he winks at me.

We make our way up the stairs and into my apartment. He glances around taking in the view, even though there isn't much to take in. He places the paper bag on my small dining table in the corner of the room, beside my fridge and makes his way to my bed and throws himself onto it.

"Making yourself at home?'' I question as I laugh. He takes his shoes off and lies onto my bed placing his head on my pillow.

"Wow this is comfy, where did you buy it'' he says referring to the bed.

"I don't know, it was here when i moved in''
I say, not paying much attention to him as i search through my wardrobe looking for an outfit.

"I might just have to steal it then'' he whispers but i still hear him.

I grab a short white summer dress and go to the bathroom to take a quick shower and freshen up before putting it on, the only problem was that there was a zip on the back and i couldn't reach it.

I made my way out to my bedroom to ask Charles to zip up my dress when I saw that he was asleep.
Of course he was. I see this as the perfect opportunity and i grab my phone from my bed side table and take a picture of him. The clicking noise
Wakes him up and I chuck my phone onto the carpet so he doesn't realise I took a picture of him.

"mmm'' he groans and rubs his eyes as i look at him innocently.

"Come on'' I grab his hand and pull him off the bed with a grunt.

"What's going on?'' he asked, streching his arms into the air

"I need you to zip up dress'' I turn around so my back is facing him and I pull my hair out of the way so it doesn't get stuck.

He resists for a couple of seconds. I can see him looking me up and down from the mirror on my wall.

He slowly steps forward and I can feel his hot breath on the back of my neck.Then i feel his soft fingers make their way down my back until he has reached my zipper.
My breath catches in my throat as i watch him slowly pull up the zipper, his fingers making little contact with my skin but still enough to send a shiver down my spine.
Once he was done he stood there for a second taking me all in.

"Let's get going'' I work up the courage to say as i realise his touch affected me more than i would like to admit.
