Alice smith is the daughter of the owner of a well known company in London. After a toxic relationship she moves to Monaco to try and find some peace and hopefully get a job so she can rely on herself rather than living off her father's money, but w...
I try to avoid the person taking the pictures as I steered my boat back into the docks, but they seemed to continue taking pictures of us until we got off the boat and were out of sight.
After a short walk, Alice and I had made it back to her apartment.
"I had a really nice time, thank you prince of Monaco'' she joked as she opened the gate to her apartment. It was now 16:36 and I realised we spent the whole day out on the boat.
"No problem, see you tomorrow?'' I asked, hoping she would say yes.
"Sure'' she said turning back and walking up to her apartment.
17:56 I decided to head out for dinner after showering and washing the salty water off of my body.
It was busy around Monaco, families and couples out for dinner on what turned out to be a very warm Sunday evening.
As I was walking I was stopped by a girl who looked to be around 15-16 and she was holding a Ferrari shirt in her hands. She handed me a pen and as I was signing it she said something.
"Are you and that girl you were on the boat with dating?'' She asked innocently
"Sorry?'' I asked, not knowing how she would know about me and Alice's day on the boat.
"There's a bunch of pictures of you and a blonde girl on a boat early today? People are saying you are together?'' the young girl asked
"Umm..sorry I have to go my brother is waiting for me'' I lied and walked off without saying goodbye. People thought me and Alice were dating. Fuck. I didn't want to get her involved in this part of my job because I thought it would scare her off. I open instagram and my feed is flooded with pictures of me and Alice today. As I'm scrolling through and reading the comments on each post my phone starts to ring..
Incoming call Matteo (pr manager)
ALICE'S POV:
It was around 20:37 when I decided to settle down in front of the tv and watch a movie, until a heard a thump on my window. I thought I must've been imagining the noise but when it happened a second time I got up, pulled back my curtains and was met with the sight of Charles leclerc throwing pebbles at my window. I swiftly opened my window to find out what he was doing.
"What are you doing Charles?" I shouted down at him so he could hear me.
"We need to talk" was all he shouted back before I left my apartment and let him in the front gate.
He waited until we were in the safe walls of my apartment before he spoke.
"Have you seen the pictures?'' He asked and I was utterly confused as I took a seat on the couch and he sat down beside me, facing me.
"What pictures?'' I questioned, he pulled out his phone and opened his camera roll to show me a screenshot he had taken early today of a post from instagram.

"So what? Just tell the media we are just friends'' I said with a shrug not fully understanding why he was so stressed about this. He ran his fingers through his hair and clenched his jaw.
"That's what I was going to do but I got a call from my pr manager, he said that we should start a pr relationship'' Charles informed me with his head down.
"You're joking right?'' I asked, he finally directed his gaze towards me.
"No, she said it would be good to bring attention to me during the season" he shrugged, studying my face to find a reaction.
"So you're saying we should fake date so that you can get more publicity?'' I scoffed
"I know it sounds stupid but most celebrities do it, it seems to work pretty well for them''
"And what would I get out of this?'' I said giving him a dirty look as I was not very happy with this situation.
"You would get to date me?'' He said and I couldn't help but laugh at his confidence
"Oh, lucky me'' I rolled my eyes as I began to pick at the skin around my fingernails. "You do realise I just moved here and no one's going to believe we are dating already?'' I stated the obvious, standing up from the couch and pacing back and forwards in front of him.
"We can just tell the press that we have been texting back and forth on instagram for a while and you've only come to visit me now'' he said, he seemed to have a pretty good knowledge on fake relationships. He was twiddling his thumbs and I could tell he was stressed.
"But don't you have to go to Miami this week for the race?" Trying to figure this situation out. He took a few seconds before he answered me.
"That's the thing, you're going to have to come with me"
