CHARLIE❤️

my room, 10 pm.

I receive from Charles.

It's nine fourteen. What am I supposed to do for forty five minutes when all I want to do is go over there right now and kiss the hell out of him?

All these months, all this pent up energy, has led to this. This moment.

It's the only time we can kiss and it's excusable. An escape in some sort of way. Because after it, we can just convince ourselves that it meant nothing, it was just a promise we gave each other. Basically, we gaslight ourselves.

I've literally done everything I could've done before meeting him. I brushed my teeth, made sure my breath doesn't stink, worn clothes that are casual but not too casual so he won't think I'm putting in an effort but also am not just doing it to get it over with...

I'm just panicking now, I guess.

But all I keep thinking about is how his win is such a tragedy. He didn't get to celebrate properly due to yesterday's incident.

No champagne, no excitement, no partying... He's been dreaming of this since he was a little kid. The bare minimum he would've wanted is to celebrate it in the minimum way.

I know he's mourning his friend, but he's also reached a dream of forever. I just feel so bad for him. He deserved the world on this special day.

Now, I don't know what to do. What I do know though, is that Alex's room is facing mine. And I could really use a friend right now.

I take my keycard and phone and head out, heading over to him. I knock on his door and wait for his response. When the door opens, I'm met by his girlfriend instead of him.

"Lily!" I express, excited to see her. Alex and Lily are my favorite couple after my uncle and his wife. They complete each other in a way that is unmatchable. They're so damn cute.

"Mais!" She smiles brightly before we hug it out.

Pulling away, I speak again. "Actually, your being here might just make things even better." I sigh.

"Ooh, there's tea?" She smirks.

"I'm not sure that's the exact label." I think it over. She invites me inside and I follow her in, closing the door behind me.

She tells me Alex is in the bathroom and we jump on their bed, getting comfortable in order to get talking. Right as I open my mouth, Alex's bathroom door flies open, and bangs against the wall, making both us girls jump.

Lily looks terrified and I'm just confused as to what the fuck is wrong with him for him to open a stupid bathroom door so dramatically.

His expression is speechless and he looks flabbergasted. Our eyes are about to pop out, basically begging him to explain what's up and finally he speaks up.

"That was Christian." He begins.

Lily frowns. I try to understand. "Christian Horner?" I make sure and he nods. "What does he want?"

"He just informed me I'm going to be RedBull's second driver for the rest of the season after the break." What!?

Lily yells out, gasping and throwing her hand over her mouth. "Surely not instead of Max. They're firing Pierre!?" I realize what it means.
