"You lied? You lied to me? How can you do that -" I didn't let him finish his words and kissed the corner of his lip to cut him off. 

"Mon bebe, I didn't completely lie to you." 

"What do you mean?" 

"I will leave the two of you to talk. Charles, listen to what she has to say first. Kid, you can do this, you won't lose charles" Lewis kissed the top of my head before giving charles light pat on his shoulder. He went to the backyard where the others are already starting the barbeque party. 

"I have no idea what's happening amour and I don't like this feeling at all" he added

I took a deep breath before starting my explanation. 

"The truth is, I am not completely oblivious when it comes to the world of Formula One. I know a few racers by name and I also know one driver personally before I met you and that was Lewis. I only got to watch a race live once in 2013 but that was it. I wasn't that interested in your world so I didn't watch after that. When I told you and the other guys that I had no idea who you were, that was true bebe..." 

"Okay but how did you know Lewis? No offence but Lewis' circle consist of high end people and you are as normal as anybody can be" 

 "Sofia once told me that this part of Monaco where we lived was the haven from people escaping the spotlight, which was why most of the drivers are here right? I came for that reason too. Charles, I also have a past that I am running away from and as much as I want to tell you about it, I can't yet but I will tell you what I can. I met Lewis years before I went to Monaco. He was still dating Nicole and I happened to work with her. Before coming here, I make music professionally. I was a producer, composer and a singer myself. I was able to make a lot of music but something happened that prompted me to go here. I was harassed and attacked because of the issue so I felt like I had no choice but to leave everything behind. Being in Monaco and just being Katrina gave me peace but at this moment, I can't tell you everything yet. It might not be a big deal or issue to you once you know, but for me it's really hard to talk about. I understand if you want to end whatever we have right now. I know lying is a deal breaker for you so I understand. After all, half truths are still lies"  

"Calm down trina... I understand and thank you for trusting me. I would be here once you're ready to tell me everything. Whatever baggage you have, you don't have to carry that alone anymore. I'm here trina, I am with you this time. I won't let anybody hurt you again." 

"Thank you Charles... I promise I'll tell you when I'm ready... I'm getting there so please be patient for a little more time" 

"You have to promise me that you'll let me hear your works so I would know how awesome my future girlfriend is" I smiled at him and nodded

That was a lot better than what I was imagining. 

 The party was good, everybody seemed to have fun. What was surprising is that the other drivers also dropped by despite declining before. It was unfortunate that the prema boys had to leave after the barbecue because of a training that they need to attend to, they weren't able to join our dinner with the 2024 drivers.
