"i'm not attracted to you anymore charles"
a badly ended one night stand turns into a forced pr relationship. there's a thin line between love and hate. can they overcome their past traumas and realize what's in front of them?
I offered to clean the plates while everyone settled down outside and decided for plans. Mainly because I could decompress after that shitty BBQ. After a while, I heard footsteps coming from the hallway and I assumed it was Pascale but Charles came out instead.
"Can we talk now?" He asked sitting in the kitchen island's stool. His emeralds eyes, the ones I used to long for, haunting me.
I stopped the running water, "what is there to talk about? You picked her and I'm fine. I can pick up the pieces."
"But I can still pick you. I just made a wrong choice." Charles said with puppy eyes. I sat next to him, shifting my whole chair towards his.
"But I don't want you to. I gave you time, love, my heart, and care and that wasn't enough for you." I put my hands on my heart to calm my breathing.
"I just I don't know what came over me." He sniffled. I should feel bad about seeing him in this condition but all I feel is frustration.
"The moment she opened her arms, you fell right back into hers and you need to understand that I can't sweep it under the rug." I explained as calmly as I could.
"It was just sex." He blurted out and immediately regretted it.
"What the fuck?" Was all that came out. "You said you just kissed. Why do you keep lying? Why? It's so dumb, you don't even give me reasons to trust you."
"Camila I can explain-"
"I don't want you to." I interrupted him, dried my hands and started walking towards the hallway door. I could feel him standing up. "Can you leave me alone before I do things out of rage?"
"Camila" Charles called out. I left to the room without looking back.

Once I entered the room it all hit me at once. The way it was over and now what would be left is the pieces of us that we must fake for the public. Everything had gone in the worst possible way. I would have to attend for the remaining races and the FIA gala. It was just to name one of the things I would have to do.
What started as a complicated situation turned into even more complicated the second he broke my trust. I thought we were growing together and changing for the better. That all of those moments of heartbreak and feeling like I wasn't enough were left behind me. But for Charles it was the backup plan. I should have known he wasn't fully over her. Maybe I just refused to see it.
What scared me the most was telling Sofia. As much as I loved her I knew she was going to be disappointed that I let myself trust too much too quickly. In a way I care more about Sofia's opinion than my own mother's.
