Chapter 10 : The Talk.

(Charles' POV)

As I heard her say those words, I grabbed her hand and dragged her over to my driver's room. I instantly locked the door behind me as I saw her hands shaking. "What's wrong? Did something happen? You can tell me you know?" I said as I sat down near her. "Alexandra is here. She said she will try to steal you back from me. Even if we aren't together. I don't want that to happen at all." she told me as I saw some tears go down. I know she maybe was exaggerating but I knew Alex could be a real pain in these type of situations. I assured Monique that I wasn't going to go anywhere. I hugged her as she felt comfortable on my shoulder. I texted the boys telling them where we were so after the whole session, they could find us. I got up as I remembered. How was Alex even inside the paddock? Did she buy Ferrari's Special Paddock Pass so she should be able to roam around our paddock area.

I sat down near her again as I asked her what had exactly happened in the bathroom after Alex talked to her. "I had a mini panic attack. I don't know why. I haven't had one since I was around 12. I'm over exaggerating." she told me looking down at the floor. I shook my head as I was surprised that she handled it that well. No wonder she took a long time. She hasn't had one for 14 years. I always hated the way Alex used to talk to my friends as she was always rather bitter around them. But that was the last straw. I would never let myself go back to her even if my life had depended on it. Time went by as the session was over and the others found us, I grabbed both Lando and Carlos outside of my driver's room as the girls were talking.

"She's back." I said as they gave me a surprised look.
"Her again? I thought you gave her a clear answer when she tried this last year." Carlos told me as Lando nodded in agreement.
"I did! But this woman doesn't like to take a no for an answer. I swear."
"If I see her, I'm going to choke her." Lando said as I looked at him.
"No need. If I see her I'll give her a quick talk and that she's wasting her time. Monique literally had a panic attack after 14 years of not having any. I'm surprised she didn't faint. She got so scared of loosing me." I said as I turned a bit red at the thought of her and our little make out session in the kitchen this exact morning.
"Well if I see her, I'll give her a pep talk and for sure warn that witch." Carlos said as we laughed.
"I hope this doesn't ruin my relationship with Monique, I was actually going to ask her this weekend."

As I said that, the girls opened the door and asked us to get food.
