21. Gimme Love

Charles pov

I envelope Max in a hug. He's so understanding I know that it may be the bare minimum but it's so hard to find someone who is willing to listen, comfort, and love you unconditionally. My heart melts whenever I'm with him. I know that love is a thing that not everyone can have and I think I have it with Max. I think I love him.

"Char, are you ok we've been hugging for a while and didn't you say you were hungry?" He pulls away from me and kisses my cheek softly. God how did I get so lucky I need to officially make this man my boyfriend I can't let him go.

"Char?"

"Yes sorry Max I zoned out for a second. But you're right I'm starving what's on your menu?" I can't let him catch on I want to ask him out on my yacht in Monaco under the stars. Yes it will be lovely!

Max hands me the menu and cuddles up. He's stroking my hair as I read off what I want to eat.

"You really want to make a dent in my wallet don't you." He laughs at the fact that I ordered a full 5 course meal for the both of us.

"I mean while you're buying Maxie" I snuggle into his chest while we wait for the food. The steady sound of the engine with Max's warmth started to lull me to sleep. Before I knew it I was out.

After what seems like only a few hours I'm awoken by a sudden shaking. I grab onto whatever is next to me for dear life.

"Hey, hey, it's just a bit of turbulence liefde." I rub my eyes to see Max still by my side.

"How long was I asleep for?" He looks at me funny as if to not believe what I was asking.

"Honey, you were asleep for most of the flight, we have about half an hour left till we touch down in Monaco." What the hell. I could have sworn I wasn't that tired. I completely missed my food.

I must have had a sour look on my face because Max nudged my shoulder.

"Cheer up Charlie I'll take you out to eat when we land, wherever you want so go." Max lovingly kisses my forehead. I intertwine our hands happily excepting more kisses from Max.

"Let's go somewhere where we won't be as recognized, like a yacht. I just want to be alone with you." Mg plan is flawless he will be my boyfriend by the end of tonight.

"That sounds very nice. Anything for the prince of Ferrari." He pokes my side making me laugh.

"Whatever it's not that deep not like you have a whole army of orange every time we go to the Netherlands." Max rolls his eyes at my comment.

"Says you have the entire state of Italy bathed in red. And people photoshop you to look like a pope!" Max starts laughing like it's the funniest joke he's ever made. I poke his ribs causing him to let out a little cry.

"Don't be mean liefde, you know you love me." He winks causing me to go red. He laughs not knowing that his statement is so true. I just stare at him I am one hundred percent in love with Max.

A ding alerts us that we will be landing so I buckle my seat belt. Landings have always been an unpleasant experience so I grab Max's hand and hold on tight. Out of the corner of my eye I see him smile.

"I'll protect you, promise." He kisses my hand. There nothing more that needs to be said. Thank goodness our landing was successful and smooth.

Max's hand was starting to lose color from how hard I was holding it. By the time I noticed he looked like he was in pain but hadn't said anything.

"I'm so sorry cherí are you ok, I'm sorry." I examen his hand to make sure I didn't mess up his hand.

"I'm fine liefde, don't worry I'm just glad that you're ok." He pulls me closer as we descend into a private space in Monaco's airport. It's so nice to be back home for a little.

"Let's go home change into something nice and go for dinner, my treat." I turn to face him hoping he would agree. He looks pleasantly happy is I take it as a good sign.

"How could I turn down the Prince of Ferrari, it would be an honor to dine with you Mr. Leclerc." Max teases me further but he agreed to it so I'll take this win.

"Wonderful meet me at the docks at seven pm. Don't be late, see you later mon cherí." I blew him a kiss as I started to walk off leaving him in the terminal.

Tonight Max Emilian Verstappen I shall ask you to become my boyfriend if I don't pussy out.
