Journey Of A Master (MTM Oneshots)

Wanna Go For A Walk? (Charles and Addie)

Prompt by Navya73

~~~~~~

(Charles' POV)

I was just finishing my call with Mattia, when a knock sounded on my door.

Today's race had been a complete success for Ferrari, with a 1-3 finish, there had been grins and laughs all around the garage.

The knock sounded again.

Well, that can't be Kim.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and a dejected looking Addie walked in.

"Are you busy?" She asked quietly.

"Nope!" I said, shutting my laptop. Addie had had a really bad day today, and it started with her spilling coffee all over Mattia's desk.

Luckily for her, Kim was in the room, and somehow, my creative girlfriend had made it look like she'd been the one to spill it.

I hadn't missed the extremely grateful look that Addie had shot Kim.

"Are you... Okay?"

Addie sat down beside me.

"Not really... Lando and I... We..."

She didn't need to say anymore. Lando had the worst kind of heart break you could have when it came to racing.

He'd been leading all race, until he and Max had a bad mix-up and they both had to retire.

No doubt, he'd been extremely pissed at the end of the race and taken it out on Addie.

"Oh."

"Listen, Charles... If you don't want me to be here, just tell me. Okay? It's just Kim was still busy, and I didn't know what to do, so... If you're not happy with me, I'll go."

Addie sounded even more dejected now, than when she first walked in, and I felt bad. She was my best friend, and technically, I should have been helping her.

"I know. I'm sorry, I'm just a bit tired. I need some fresh, air. Wanna go for a walk?"

Addie's face lit up, a minute bit.

I jumped up, and held out my hand to her.

"So, friend o'mine... Would thee like to join my most humble self on a... Clearance of the mind?"

I grinned at her.

Addie bit down on her lip trying not to laugh.

"Most certainly, friend o'mine! I'd most definitely join thee."

We exited the driver's room, and suddenly we couldn't hold it in any more.

We both burst out laughing.

"We-w-we should be crowned the next shakypears."

"Sha-shakypears?" I laughed even harder, and so did Addie.

"Slip of the tongue!" Addie exclaimed, indignantly, after we'd both finished laughing.

We were both actually crying, even though the Shakespeare language and, Addie's mix-up weren't that funny.

"Okay, okay. Maybe we should just go for that walk."

"Yeah, you're right. Hey... Wait! The F3 racers are out right now, want to go see their race?" I said, remembering what my brother had said earlier. He wasn't racing today, so, I hadn't made seeing the race a prority.
