Last day.

Then it's back to reality.
This thing between me and Charles? There's no way that's going to work out on the grid.
Just a regular summer fling, right? RIGHT?

The rest of the guys are arriving in an hour, we had set up everything that we needed. Food was ready, music was blasting and everybody was in a great mood. Since it was decided that we'd only pregame on the yachts to later go out felt crazy to me.
Me? Going out? In Monaco? MONACO?
It's a good thing I have all these girls with me.
I didn't pack any outfits?
How did I agree to go out? Why did I agree to going out? I like the yacht, it's less people you know what I mean?

"It looks like you're about to throw up-" Charles chuckled softly as he put his hands on my waist pulling me closer.
This floor is a really nice looking floor.
My eyes now glued to the ground.

"You okay Rors?" He lifted my chin up with his finger, looking into my eyes.
"What's wrong?" He caressed my cheek softly.
"I have nothing to wear- for a night out in Monaco"
"That's what you're worried about? I like what you're wearing right now" He smiled softly, his finger pulling a strand on hair behind my ear.
"Well- yeah. I did pretty much donate most of my clothes away- since I didn't have enough space after selling the house... This outfit is okay for spending time here, but going out clubbing in Monaco with all the pretty ass girls and boys in this rich world which by the way I'm- not used to hang around. Not that I don't enjoy spending time with you guys- okay that came out wrong"
I kept on rambling to try and save this conversation.

Oh god please shut up.

Charles looked around a bit, searching for someone.
"Hey Rose! Do you have any spare clothes for Aurora over here?"
"Of course I do!! I always have an outfit prepared for my love." Rose walked up to us now, taking my hand - pulling me away from him.
"See? You have nothing to worry about" He smiled reassuringly as I followed behind Rose.

"So I have a few options for you" Rose scanned her suitcase for some clothes. All I could do was sit on the bed, fiddling with my finger.

Is this really just a summer fling with Charles? We should keep it professional on the track since I am their photographer and all. Also there's no way he has time for this, he's a busy man.

"Rora-?"
"Hm?" I looked up, she was standing in front of me with three choices in her hands.
"This is not only about your outfit is it?" She put her hands on my knees a bit. And I couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you think this is a world I would actually fit in?"
"Yes, without a doubt. You're the most genuine person I know"
"But like- being nice isn't enough in this line of work-"
"Aurora- you're overthinking this way too much. I don't think that the guys would hang out with you if they didn't enjoy spending their time with you. Also you're already fitting in? You got this amazing job- you have a thing with Charles- Lando is literally one of your best friends. You have nothing to worry about darling."

A thing with Charles.
That's just it, a thing. That's all it's going to be isn't it?

"Now try these on please" She pat my leg a bit, pulling me out of my thoughts again.

"Also I have no home- once the season is over" I blurted out, I should've thought this entire thing through.
"Well you're going to move in with me right? We have already talked about this haven't we?" She giggled softly.
"I can't ask that of you Rose"
"Aurora, it's already fixed. I have set up my spare room for you and you know that. You knew that when you left England. It's nothing to worry about, it's under control honey." She softly pulled me into a hug.
