Della Lechâteau and her friends take off to Monaco for a grad trip to remember forever. The weather is warmer and the real world is nothing but a distant thought in the beautiful destination that attracts the wealthiest people in the world. Adventur...
A/N so my timeline is kinda messy in his fic but just roll with it please, thanks much now enjoy this part and also the AS Monaco Charles up top :)
I'm swirling the wine in my glass as Emie and Wren talk about something on the laptop screen, my focus elsewhere ever since Charles proposed days earlier. "Earth to Della" I look up at the sound of my name, the girls are watching me with confusion on their faces, "yeah, what's up?" I ask with a smile. "Seriously? do you want to tell us what has you so distracted" Wren exclaims, "i'm not-" I begin, but stop when I see the look on Emie's face, I sigh while sinking my teeth into my bottom lip nervously, "literally this whole call you've been in your own world Del" she says. "Charles asked me to marry him" I murmur hoping that they won't hear correctly, "HE WHAT?" Wren shouts making me cringe at the volume, "on our one year anniversary we ended the day by playing some sim racing against one another and I won, when I turned to rub it in his face he was on one knee holding up this ring that I could only dream of having someday" I explain to them, "did you say yes?" Emie asks, I shake my head, "why not Della?" I sigh and look up at them, "because we've only been together for a year, we have so much more to learn about each other and so many things to experience before there's any marriage talk thrown into the mix".
When my statement is met with silence I go back to swirling the wine in my glass, my eyes following the red alcohol as if it will give me all the answers I need. "I'm going to be real with you Della, I think those are just excuses" Wren says making me look up in shock, "if I had someone that loved me like Charles loves you I would say yes in a heartbeat" she adds, "but what if he leaves, I would never recover from that" I say voicing my fears, "shit I told him I wouldn't say anything" Emie murmurs. I lift my eyebrows at her cryptic statement, "what are you talking about?" I ask while leaning forward slightly, "Della, Charles went to see your parents like a week ago, he asked for their blessing to marry you, they must've okay-ed it since he proposed" she replies. My eyes tear up and I sit back trying to process the new information, "he did that?" my friends nod with smiles on their faces, "babe he wants you by his side for the long haul" I shake my head in disbelief, "he chose you, and i'm pretty sure you chose him the first time you met him in that coffee shop" I laugh, "god I did didn't I?" they nod. I take one big sip of my wine before placing the glass down, "gotta go girls, I need to go tell this man that I want to be his wife" I exclaim, they both grin and I end the call to book the first flight to Maranello, where Charles is doing some tests for Ferrari.

I step out of the rental car hours later, I sling the backpack I brought with me over my shoulder as I bite my lip nervously. The entrance to the track looms in front of me, I peer down at my phone to make sure i'm at the place that Carlos told me they would be today. When it's correct I take a deep breath and smooth out my wrinkly travel clothes before walking into the widely known Ferrari test track. The few people walking around don't even look my way as I follow the sounds of engines revving. I walk into the garage to see an empty spot where a car must've been sitting moments earlier, "Della!" I look towards the voice to see Carlos smiling at me, "hey thanks for helping" I say as he walks over to pull me into a hug, "anytime kiddo, he's just on the track, he'll be back soon" I nod and he takes my arm to pull me over to where other Ferrari employees are tracking the car stats in real time. I put my bag down nearby and Carlos pulls up a stool for me, he proceeds to place a headset over my ears and I sit down.
What feels like minutes, but is actually seconds later Charles brings the car to a stop in front of the garage, the crew reverses it into the empty spot before he climbs out of the cockpit. I sit up straighter a smile coming to my face at the sight of the Monégasque, he swiftly takes off his helmet and the balaclava before running his fingers through his messy hair. Charles hasn't seen me yet so I enjoy being a fly on the wall while watching everyone moving around the car. Carlos walks up to the Charles placing a hand on his shoulder before saying something that I can't hear. When the Monégasque turns, I smile and wave at him, he grins before rushing over, "qu'est-ce que tu fais ici?" he asks, I slide off the headset, letting it rest around my neck, I don't respond I just bring his lips down to mine. "Je t'aime Char" I murmur when pulling away, "je t'aime aussi chérie" he replies while smiling, "j'ai venue te dire que je veux être ta femme" his smile widens at my words, I see the silent question in his eyes so I nod in reply. He easily lifts me off the stool, I squeal and wrap my arms and legs around the Ferrari driver, "je suis tellement heureux Della" he says loudly making me giggle, "moi aussi Char".
He lets me down abruptly making me blink in confusion, he holds up a finger to tell me to wait, I nod and he runs out of the garage. I take the headset and put it down on a nearby counter before turning back towards the bright red car that is being worked on, I twiddle my fingers as I wait for my boyfriend to return. "Della" I spin around at Charles' familiar voice only to be met with him down on one knee again, it hits just as hard the second time as the first time, I grin down at him, tears coming to my eyes. He opens his mouth to speak but I shake my head, "no need, it's a yes" I exclaim, he smiles and slides the gorgeous ring onto my finger, I look at it for a few seconds before looking into the eyes of the man that I love. He stands and pulls me in for a kiss, claps and cheers ring throughout the garage as my hands curl into the fabric of his race suit keeping our lips locked for as long as possible.
