When in Vegas - lestappen - Max x Charles

10. Too Sweet

Max pov

Wow I can't believe that just happened. I'm insanely happy. I should probably tell Danny but why not torment him a bit longer.

I'm heading back to my room after having lunch with Daniel. There weren't a lot of drivers in the dinning hall, they probably went out to eat.

I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket, huh it's Lando, he usually doesn't text me this early. Why the fuck does he want to know if Danny's single? What happened to Carlando?

Plus I wouldn't know. Daniel hasn't really told me shit. He did say he was in the talking stage with somebody, but he never told me jackshit after that. Damnit it's getting late I need to get ready for quali.

I take the elevator running into Carlos and Lando with a shit ton of Mexican food. It might not the best idea for tonight.

They get off a floor below me. I thought Lando was on the second floor but whatever. I can't wait to see Charles. Fumbling with my wallet I finally get the damn key card out. As I open the door I'm greeted with the sound of running water and singing?

"If you're drunk on life, babe, I think that's great, But while in this world I think I'll take my whiskey neat, My coffee black and my bed at three, You're too sweet for me, you're too sweet for me." Holy shit what a dork singing in the shower. He's so cute I swear.

"Charlie, that's you?" I can't help but tease him. As I'm listing for an answer, the water turns off. I still haven't gotten a response. Walking into our shared room the bathroom door is wide open, with Charles quickly tying to wrap himself in a towel.

Letting out a whistle, I can't help but stare. Say what you want but Charles is really fucking hot.

"Oh my god Max, turn around."

"Come on it's not something I haven't seen before, liefde." I stay looking as his spectacular features, with the water running down his body.

Charles calls my name snapping me back to reality. I take my eyes off his body and look him in the face.

"Ja, mijn liefste?"
Yes my love*

"Max I never know what you're saying, can you teach me a bit of Dutch?" He looks at me with his Bambi eyes melting a hole in my heart.

"Of course Charlie, I'd love to teach you Dutch." I smile. God I was falling so hard for this man.

"Ok now that, that's settled get out, I need to change." Charles says as he pushes me out of our room shutting the door behind me.

Nothing could ruin this. Is what I would say if I hadn't just gotten a text from my father. It's been almost half a year since we last had a yelling match over my life. He said some hurtful things that I don't know if I can get past. But I can't ignore him forever. Let's see how he wants to emotionally abuse me this time.

Vader

Vader:
Max I know you don't want to hear don't me. And I know I'm a shit father. I wanted to apologize. That's all. Good luck.

*Message Seen*

This is not real, my mother must have written that. My father is a pice of shit. He would never apologize. Why.

"Chéri, you alright?" I hadn't realized that Charles had come out of the room fully dressed and ready for quali.

"My Father texted me." I say, quietly staring at my phone. Unsure if I want to share this with him.

"Well what happened? You don't look to hot right now, I mean you always look hot just I meant it like fuck. Never mind I'll shut up now." I let out a laugh. I can't believe I have this type of effect on him. He's too sweet for me.

"Uh Max? Still here?"

"Yeas, it's just I haven't talked to my dad since our argument over me being Bi months ago and he just apologized right now." My emotions are scrambled. There's a chance that he's just trying to get in my head again.

"How do you feel about that mom amour?" Charles asks as he sits to my side.

"I feel like it's fake and he's just going to go back on his word. I don't know if he's lying. I'm so sick of playing this game." He holds my hand trying to give me some comfort.

"Can I give you my two cents?" Nodding I look to Charles.

"I had a similar fight with my papa, it took us a while to understand each other. In the end he told me that I was his son, and nothing would ever stop him from loving me. Not who I loved or anything else. I miss him everyday. Take the chance Maxie, you will never be able to make up for lost time." Charles is close to tears as he tells me this.

I hug him. He didn't have to share this with me but he did. He really is to sweet for me.

"Thank you Charles." I give him a peck on the cheek as I pull out of our hug.

"Come on we have to get going quali will be staring soon. Good luck liefde." I give him a kiss leaving him a blushing mess, as I head for the door. 

"You t-to Max" Charles stutters still red from my kiss.
