The gamble of love

21

Jo's POV

Today did not turn out as bad as I thought it would. Me and Lando are friends again and I made sure that Alex understands where she stands with me and also Charles.
By the time we arrived back to the hotel, I was exhausted. I said goodnight to Carlos and Rebecca and went to my room. I put my phone on charge and got in the shower. I stood under the hot water, relaxing every muscle in my body. Once I was finished I got out and dried my hair and got dressed for bed. Tomorrow is race day, which I am really excited for. It's the first time that I get to watch Carlos compete in real life. I got in bed and grabbed my phone to text Charles goodnight, when I saw like a billion Instagram notifications, what the hell?
I go on Instagram and see that I have over 200 000 new followers which instantly blew my mind. I had no idea reporters were this popular. I scrolled through some of them when another notification caught my eye, "Reporter already caught sneaking around" I click on the notification and a photo of me and Lando walking towards his driver room and a photo of me leaving his driver room popped up. Ah fuck. How the hell did they get this. How am I going to explain this.
I text Charles.
- baby, I need you, can you please come over?
I waited a few minutes and then saw a text back.
- on my way to you love ❤️

I sigh with relief. I get out of bed and go over to the door to open it for him. He instantly embraced me in his arms. I hug him back taking in his scent. "Can you stay here tonight?" I ask him and he nods his head, I take hs hand in mine and walk us over to my room, locking the door behind us and we both get in bed. I told him about the photos and what it was actually about. "I'm so sorry baby, the hate of these fans can really be tough, but you will get through it, I promise." He says holding me close. "Thank you for coming Char." I tell him. "Anytime love, I am always just here when you need me." He says and I look up at him making a pouty face indicating that I want him to kiss me and he gladly does just that. The kiss quickly deepens and turns into a make out session. I get on top of him and he wraps his arms around my waist. "Twice in one day, what did I do to get this lucky?" He laughs pulling away from the kiss, I playfully slap his arm and roll my eyes. He soon throws me off of him and get on top of me kissing me, hard. That took my breath away, I love this man. I start removing his shirt and then remove my own. His hands cup my breasts as he continues to kiss me, I let out a soft moan. His hands travel down my stomach to the hem of my pants. He slides his hands under my pants, "can you be quiet for me baby?" He asks and I nod my head and with that he insert his fingers in me. I throw my head back, biting my lip. He drivers me crazy. I undo his pants as he now pulls mine down. He puts on a condom and inserts himself in me. He goes slow at first but quickly picked up the pace and I try my best to keep quiet. We continued for a while until we both finished together.
"I love you baby." He says. I kiss him one last time. "I love you too, Char. Let's get some sleep tomorrow is a big day." I tell him. He wraps his arms around me and we cuddled until we fell asleep.

The next morning my alarm goes off and I shake Charles awake, "Race day!" I yell making him groan and I just laugh. "Good morning love." He finally says in a deep sleepy voice, which makes me melt. I give him a kiss and then we both get out of bed and make our way to the kitchen to get coffee. Once we are in the kitchen, we are met with Carlos looking at us with a raised eyebrow. "Oh come on, please just forgive him already??" I plead over to Carlos making a pouty face. Carlos rolls his eyes at me. "Fine" he says and Charles smiles, "thanks mate, I've missed you! I promise that won't happen again." He says to Carlos. "Missed you too bro! Big day today." Carlos said back. I leave them to have their moment as I make us all a cup of coffee.
After coffee Charles left to get ready and I went to take a shower and also get ready. I leave with Carlos and Rebecca to the paddock and once we arrive I wish Carlos goodluck on the race. A few fans wanted to take pictures with me, I am not sure why, but I stopped and took some photos with them before heading to the Red Bull garage. When I arrive there I am greeted by Max and Checo and Max has a huge smile on his face with his hands behind his back. I laugh, "What's got you all happy, Max?" I ask him. He quickly takes his hands from behind his back, showing me what he is holding. It is a Red Bull t-shirt with the words 'Verstappen #1' written big and bold, I grin at him and then he turns the shirt around where I see the words, 'Baby Sainz first race'.
"Oh my gosh, this is so sweet, thank you!" I yell running up to him giving him a hug. He laughs and hugs me back. "You're welcome, thought we could make the day special for you, but please tell Charles not to kill me." He says laughing and I laugh with him. I go to the bathroom to put on the shirt which fits perfectly with my jeans and sneakers. I did pre race interviews with Red Bull and then walk over to McLaren garage. Lando sees my shirt and looks at me raising an eyebrow, I laugh at him and turn around so he could see the back. "Cute" he says and he walks closer to me, "but a #4 papaya shirt would suit you much better" he whispers in my ear, giving me chills once again. What is he doing to me??
