The gamble of love

Jo's POV

The race was absolutely amazing, with Carlos ending in P3 and Charles in P4. I was really proud of them both.
I hug them both before we have to leave for the post race interviews. My Red bull interveiws went well, both the boys were really happy with their results. Up next I interview Oscar, "Yeah it was a tough day for the team, but we will keep pushing to ensure that we come back stronger in the next race." He says into my microphone. He walked off and next up was Lando. He didn't look to happy with his results. "Yeah, tough race, but we learned alot as a team and we will keep pushing." He says. "P6 is not a bad result at all and we look forward to seeing what you have lined up for the next race, Lando." I tell him. He smiles sweetly at me. "Maybe you can wear a McLaren shirt at the next race, seemed to bring goodluck to Red Bull, next time you can be my goodluck charm." He says amd as soon as he does my eyes go wide and his also. He was not thinking before he spoke. He tries to laugh it off, "yeah, we will see haha, thank you Lando." I tell him and he walks away nervously. I sigh, this is going to be all over the internet again. I finish my interviews with the team principals and head over to the Ferrari garage where I waited with Rebecca for Carlos to finish.
"Carlos said we are going to a club tonight to celebrate their results, most of the drivers will be joining us." She says as I sat down next to her. "Sounds like fun, I am looking forward to it." I tell her. Once Carlos was finished we headed to the car that was waiting for us. On our way back to the hotel we stopped to get some food and then we arrive at the hotel. Me, Carlos and Rebecca were eating and then we went to our rooms to get ready for the club.
I took a shower and washed my hair. I did a smokey eye make up look then curled my hair. I got dressed in black leather pants with a black crop top and put on some silver jewellery. Then I was ready to go. I took a selfie with Rebecca and Carlos and posted it to my Instagram story.

After a while we arrived at the club, we walked over to the VIP section where most of the drivers were already there. Lando was already under the influence of alcohol as I see him eyeing me up and down with hungry eyes. I try my best to ignore him and went to sit down next to Charles. "You look stunning love." He says in my ear as the music is really loud. "Thanks baby" I tell him and we just sat there chatting and the drinks came coming. Me, Rebecca, Kelly (Max's girlfriend) and of course Alex were now on the dance floor and I was starting to feel really tipsy. I danced to a few more songs as everything started to spin around me. I excused myself from the girls and went outside to get some fresh air. I lit a cigarette and sat down on the bench.
Soon after I hear a voice behind me, "You feeling okay, Jo?" He asked. I turned around and met eyes with Lando who was not as drunk anymore. "A little tipsy, but I'm good, just needed some fresh air." I say laughing and he laughs with me as he is now sitting next to me. "Good, I just wanted to make sure you were alright and safe out here." He says and I smile at him, "Thank you, Lan." I tell him and he smiles back at me. "What's going on here?" We hear a voice behind us, making me jump. I turn around and see Charles. "I just needed to get some fresh air and Lando came to check if I was alright." I tell him walking over to him and Lando following close behind. "Oh, well, thanks mate, but I can check up on my girlfriend, no need for you to do it." Charles says looking Lando in the eyes, he is clearly drunk.
"Are you serious, Char? He is my friend. Just let it go." I tell him. Lando just keeps quiet. "I know, I'm just saying." Charles says holding his hands in the air, I roll my eyes at him. "I'm going to call us a cab" I tell Charles and he just nods his head. We went back inside and said goodbye to everyone, Alex luckily left with us, to ensure that nobody asks questions as to why me and Charles are leaving together.

Soon after we arrived back at the hotel and I thanked Alex and then she walked off to her room.
"Can you sleep with me tonight in my room?" Charles asked slurring over his words. I laugh and nod my head and we go to his room. I text Carlos that I will be sleeping at Charles and then put my phone down and get Charles undressed and helped him put on sweatpants. I grabbed one of his shirts and took off my clothes and put it on and got in bed with him. He soon after passed out and then I also fell asleep shortly after.
