Journey Of A Master (MTM Oneshots)

Jealous (Charles and Kim)

(Kim's POV)

I pulled on my jeans and Ferrari t-shirt.

Today, Charles, Mattia and I had to go out for an official lunch with Andante Allari.

It was the middle of the season, and we were currently back in Italy for the the Monza GP.

Hence the lunch.

This was actually the second time that I'd been invited to dine with Allari, last year being the first.

And as far as I was concerned, these were just yearly meetings to check how I was doing so... The appropriate steps could be taken.

I was very aware that despite my surname, and my first championship, I was walking on the sharp side of a knife, because if I made one slip-up, and I'd get cut.

Sure, the popularity and fame I gained made it harder and harder, but I knew that Allari was a dangerous person, and that he would let anything stand in his way.

Once I was ready, I yelled out to Charles.

"Are you ready, yet, Charles?"

"Almost! Just gelling my hair!"

"Okay! I'm going downstairs!"

"Yeah, I'll be there in five!"

I picked up my phone, cap and glasses and left to go downstairs.

~~~~~~

Charles and I got out of our rental Ferrari and crossed the road, hand-in-hand.

"So, are you ready?" He asked me.

He shared the same views as me when it came to these meetings, and he was always worried about them.

"To see the menu card, yes. To meet and speak to Allari? Haha, no."

Charles laughed.

"Of course, you are. You'll be fine, though. Relax."

I glanced at Charles and smiled.

"You always say that!"

"Because, it's true! And, you get very weird when you're tense. I'm sure you've broken multiple rapping records from nervous rapid-fire. You know... Eminem won't stand a chance against you if you ever go up against him."

I blushed.

"I'm sure I'm not that bad, okay?"

Charles arched his eyebrow at me.

"What can I do to prove it?"

I laughed.

"Okay, point taken. Now, let's just go meet Allari and get this over with."

The two of us stepped into the elevator and hit the button for the terrace.

Charles let go of my hand when we reached the top. It was a mutual agreement between us, that we wouldn't show any signs of affection between us around Allari. He could feed off what we gave the media, but apart from that, we weren't big on showing off our relationship.

Charles and I stopped at the reception and asked for a table reserved under Allari.

The waitress guided us to our table where we found Allari and another person sitting at the table.

"Ahh, Kim, Charles. You're here!" Allari said, earning a greeting from me and Charles respectively.

"This is my son, he's joining us today, because he may take over one day." Allari got a dreamy look in his eye.
