You Belong With Me

12.

Max woke up to feeling some draped over him, as he turned his head Charlie was dead asleep with her limbs laying over him. He didn't want to wake but he needed to get up as he was doing the morning session today. As Max tried to move Charlie grunted and opened her eyes, "sorry i didn't want to wake you" Max apologized. "its fineeee" Charlie moaned, she was definitely not in the mood to move from her bed today. "Are you coming to the track today?" Max says while getting up, "god no I feel as rough as hell, I'm just gonna stay in and catch up on work. Wait did you undress me last night?" Charlie says while looking down to see that she's wearing one of Max's red bull tops, Max just laughs thinking about last night. "Actually I don't want to know, i dread to think what I did."Charlie says with her head in her hands. "Alright I'm off, see you later" Max says as he leaves.

It was lonely for Charlie to be alone but she couldn't face going outside, plus she really did need to catch up on some work. Charlie had actually handed her notice in as she found a new job, the one she wanted- writing for a local Monaco newspaper about her travel a bit like a blog. Charlie just had to write up her last interview and she was done, she was also writing notes about her trip to Barcelona for her new job. Charlie didn't want to tell anyone yet because the company need to read a sample of her work before she gets the job, she wants to be 100% sure she has the job before telling the others.

Overall Barcelona was an amazing trip, they were currently on their way back to Monaco. The boys had a few weeks off before they had to really start focusing on racing. While on the plane Charlie sent her sample work off to the company and by the time she got back to Monaco she got the job. Charlie was over the moon and she couldn't wait to tell Stoffel, Anna and Max. The 3 of them were sat on the sofa as they had finished unpacking before Charlie, once Charlie finished unpacking she joined them. "I have news!!" Charlie said jumping in front of the TV they were currently fixed on. "It better be good" Stoffel moaned as Charlie was in the way of the TV. "I have a new job!! I'm writing about my travels and places I go to for the local newspaper/magazine" Charlie announces. "THAT'S AMAZING!!" Stoffel jumps up hugging Charlie, clearly happy for his friend. "You listened to my advice then" Max smirked hugging Charlie also. "You know what this means........PARTYYYYY!" Anna will find any excuse to have a party/go out and that is why Charlie loves her.

The four of them get ready and celebrate Charlie's new job. The girls decided to get really glammed up, Charlie wore this body con dress which was metallic black and had an open back. Anna wore a red lace dress that came to her knees. Both boys wore shirts and black jeans looking very smart. As Charlie was the first one to be ready she made everyone drinks Max walks into the kitchen "you look.......absolutely stunning" Max couldn't keep his eyes off her, Charlie tried to hide the fact she was blushing. Once they were all ready they went to the club. When they were at the club the boys were at the bar giving Anna and Charlie chance to talk. "Soooo you gonna be all over max tonight or not" Anna smirks. "Well I'm gonna go with the flow and see what happens, but when we walked in I clocked this really sexy man" Charlie giggles. "Ooooo game changer, but Max can't keep he's eyes off you don't get messing with his head." As Anna says this the boys return. "Two Malibu and cokes for two beautiful women" Stoffel says passing the girls their drinks. "To Charlie, a fresh start and we wish you the best in your new job. I can't express how proud I am we are both achieving our dreams and I'm so happy we are doing it by each other's side. Before I get emotional I just want to say lets have an amazing night, to Charlie." Stoffel finishes and they all cheers.

They all make their way to the dance floor and Charlie sees that man again, she must admit she was tipsy so this wild confident side came out. She danced her way over to him being subtle, Max looked over and didn't like what he saw. Max had also had a few to drink and he found a girl to dance with. When Max looked over Charlie was kissing that man. With all the alcohol head going to Charlie's head she was kissing this man but she couldn't help but imagining it was Max, when this thought popped into her head she pulled away from the man. "I'm sorry I've got a go" Charlie says making her way back to the table where Anna and Stoffel were. As Charlie was walking across the dance floor see saw Max kissing this girl. " I am fuming!" Charlie shouts to Anna and Stoffel who were at the table. "Right Charl relax...."'Anna try's to calm Charlie down. "RELAX! How can I fucking relax max is kissing another girl" Charlie scream. Stoffel starts to get annoyed at his friends behaviour, "I have just watched you kiss that man so why the fuck are you kicking off at Max?" Stoffel's voice starts to raise. Everyone had too much to drink. "Guys lets take this back to the apartment, let's not make a scene" Anna suggests as she goes to get max. Charlie refused to get in a taxi with Stoffel or Max so she went with Anna.

When they were back at the apartment Charlie just lost it, she is normally never an aggressive people but she didn't know what came over her. "Do you know how fucking angry I am?" Charlie screams to Anna, Anna didn't reply as she didn't want to argue. The boys weren't home yet so Charlie scream "I'm angry, like how dare he." As this Max and Stoffel walked through the door "oh is she still going on" Stoffel moaned sitting at the breakfast bar next to Anna. "What the fuck has even happened like why are you so angry" Max said walking over to Charlie. "Are you serious! You kissed a girl right in front of my face!" Charlie raised her voice getting closer to Max. "Here we go, psycho Charlie" Stoffel muttered. "Can you just shut up" Charlie warned. "Right I've had enough I'm off to bed" Anna said as she clearly hated everyone arguing, "I'm joining you" Stoffel said as this was between Charlie and Max.
"How can you be angry at me when he kissed that lad before I kissed that girl" Max tried to keep his cool.
"Because I'm pissed I had no idea what I was doing whereas you did" Charlie argued.
"Don't use that as an excuse".
"But you clearly kissed that girl because I kissed that boy to upset me" Charlie was getting closer and closer to Max. Charlie started to get upset. "We've been so close these past few weeks and now look what's happened." Charlie sobbed.
"Don't blame it all on me I wasn't the one to fucking kiss someone first"

Charlie had enough of arguing and she just walked out. Max wanted to follow her so bad but he wanted her to cool off, he went to bed but stayed awake until she came home. Charlie walked out the apartment building and crossed the road where she sat on a wall and looked over the city. She started to cry again as she regretted everything: kissing that man, arguing with max, shouting at Stoffel. A great night ruined because of her, she started to think that she was the problem. "Charlie??" As Charlie looked up she saw Charles standing in front of her, "heyyyy what's up, don't cry" Charles whispered to calm her down. "I'm the fucking problem, I fuck everything up. I'm not going back in there" Charlie says looking up to the apartment. "Come on I have a guest room, you can stay the night" Charles offered, Charlie just nodded too exhausted to say anything. By now Charlie had sobered up a lot, Charles gave her a pair of his now girlfriends joggers and one of his t-shirts. As soon as her head hit the pillow she fell dead asleep. Max was still waiting for Charlie to get home and he was worried about her so he sent her a text.

Max
