You Belong With Me

18.

Anna woke up to hear Charlie being sick in the bathroom. "Oh dear" Anna laughed holding back Charlie's hair. "Don't laugh at me" Charlie moaned wiping her mouth with some toilet paper once she had finished being sick. Charlie walked back to her room like a zombie however once she open the door to see max lying there in his boxers she ran into Stoffel and Anna's room where she sat at the end of the bed like a child. "Um Charlie? Everything okay?" Stoffel asked confused as to why Charlie ran in. "Oh my god! Oh my god!" Charlie repeated as the memories of last night came flooding back to her. "What? Spill the gossip" Anna was itching to know. " I kissed Max but not like before. Like passionate and heated. I ripped his top off!!" Charlie whispered looking panicked. "Well did you like it? Did you want it to happen. Was he good?" Stoffel gave Anna a stern look when she asked the last question. "I think so, yes and yessss!" Charlie answered Anna. "So there's nothing to worry about" Anna said smoothly. "Nothing to worry about!! I just go off with fricking Max Verstappen" Charlie's put her head in her hands. "And I'm in bed with Stoffel Vandoorne, life's good" Anna said kissing Stoffel. "I think I'm going to be sick" Charlie said running to the bathroom again.

Charlie didn't leave her room all day, while the others spent the day tidying the house up from yesterday. They were leaving tomorrow so Charlie needed to pack however she felt dead. Charlie and Max hadn't spoken to each other since what happened, they were both really confused with their feelings.

(I'm skipping a head bit)

Azerbaijan, Sunday night
It was Sunday night and like true tradition Max, Daniel, Charlie, Victoria, Anna, Stoffel and a few other drivers like Sebastian, Charles, Pierre and Carlos went to a local club. Charlie wasn't drinking as she hasn't felt well all weekend. It wasn't a good for Red Bull as Max and Daniel collided together, luckily they had sorted things out. Charlie knew Max would be on a mission to get drunk tonight from his frustration from today. Stoffel was celebrating as he finished in the points once again.

As Charlie was at the table Sebastian came to sit down next her. "Hey, I don't think we've met properly and if we have a probably don't remember" Charlie laughs while holding her hand out to shake Sebastian's. "Haha, well I'm Sebastian, but call me Seb" Seb says while shaking her hand. "I know who you are" Charlie laughs, "I may have only been to testing and two races but I know you and you better win this year" Charlie continues. "Well I hope you. Who are you here with then?" Seb asks, "me and Stoffel have been best friends for years, me, him, his girlfriend and Max all live together" Charlie explains. "Ah I see. So who do you support" Seb says smirking. "Stoffel and Max obviously. But it's always nice to see you on that top step" Charlie says smiling.

Victoria came running over to Charlie grabbing her arm "come on and dance with me and Anna!!". Charlie met Victoria for the first time on Friday and they get along really well. "Looks like I'm wanted" Charlie laughs to Seb as she gets pulled to the dance floor where there's Stoffel, Daniel and Max in a group and Charlie, Victoria and Anna dancing in group.

Max had to admit he did like the female attention he got on race weekends, he's young, 20 years old. He doesn't want to settle down like everyone else. While these thoughts when through his head this girl who was stunning walked up to the group of lads and started dancing with them. Max liked what he saw.

Charlie and the girls weren't far away from the boys and she watched Max dance with this girl. "Keep cool" she said to herself. She tried to ignore it but she didn't feel like dancing. "Girl I'm not up for dancing I'm going back to the table" Charlie said walking back to the table where Charles and Pierre were sitting. "What's up Charley loo?" Pierre asks, Charlie laughed the nickname. Charlie explained to Charles and Pierre as she felt close to them and wanted to be honest. Stoffel saw Charlie walk off, "hey shall we go the bar" he said to the lads trying to get Max away from this girl. The boys stood at the bar and the table Charlie was at was right behind the boys. Max didn't realise Charlie was sitting there. "Hey max don't you think that was....a little disrespectful, you know dancing with that girl in front of Charlie" Stoffel said getting protective over Charlie. "You see the thing is, I love the female attention. I don't want to settle down. I'm 20 for fuck same let me have fun. I don't want to be going home to the same bird every night" max said, the alcohol had clearly gone to his head as he didn't know what he was saying.

Charlie was sat relight behind Max. Charles's, Pierre's and Daniel's faces were gob smacked as they watched the scene unfold. "Oi, don't say that about Charlie she's not a 'bird' and I don't appreciate the way you're treating her" Stoffel defended Charlie. "Its okay Stoff, I've heard you Max and you've made your feelings very clear. So fine, have your fun." Charlie said tears rising to her eyes. Charles got up to stand next to her. "Its okay guys I'm gonna go back to the hotel. I'll go say bye to girls." Charlie said, "I'll speak to you later" Charlie said hugging Stoffel. Charlie said bye to the girls leaving them confused as to why she's leaving so early and then she got in a taxi back to the hotel.

Once Charlie got back to the hotel she broke down. She started to feel something for Max and she just feels mugged off. The fact Max had the guts so say that in front of everyone made Charlie feel weak.

The next morning they were all going home to Monaco. Anna, Stoffel and Charlie met in the hotel lobby. When Charlie woke up she got several texts seeing if she was okay. Charlie decided to put her and max behind her and forget everything. "Hey!" Charlie said happily walking to Anna and Stoffel who were in the lobby. "Ready to go? God I can't wait to get back to Monaco. I think I'm going to go for a run when I get back, get back into training." Charlie laughed. "Someone seems happy" Stoffel said confused. "Well Stoff, no point looking back on the past. I'm moving on and upwards." Charlie said walking out the hotel. Anna and Stoffel give each other a confused look.

Once they were on the plane Stoffel wanted to speak to Charlie about Max. "Right honesty hour" Stoffel said. Charlie rolled her eyes and this was a saying her and Stoffel had which means you have to be completely honest, no bullshitting. "Are you going to talk to max when you see him" Stoffel continued. "Well yeah I will tell him, he can have his fun and whatever. And we will be civil and that obviously we've tried it twice and it hasn't worked so it wasn't meant to be." Charlie confessed. Stoffel just nodded happy with the answer.
