then you flashed your green eyes at me || Charles Leclerc

chapter thirty-one

"You weren't supposed to hear that" Kika said.

"Yeah, I kind of already got that" Carlos said. "It's funny how you said you would've never fallen for him"

"Well, it's not like I chose to" Alya said. "Believe me, if I could choose I would choose Timothée Chalamet or Tom Hiddleston or something"

"Should I leave?" Kika asked.

"No"

"Yes" Carlos said at the same time. "Please, I would like to talk to her"

"If you need me call me okay?" Kika told Alya, before walking away. She glared at her back, than at Carlos.

"What do you want?"

"To be your friend"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I must've missed a step or two. Why?"

"I'm putting aside my feelings for you"

"Sure" she said sarcastically. "I can totally see that"

"That was a reflex" he said.

"Of course it was" she scoffed. "You know, you should really start taking responsibility for your actions"

"I'm sorry for all the trouble I made you go true"

"Well, that's new. A for the creativity"

"How funny" he said. "I'm being serious. I'm sorry."

"I'm being serious, I don't believe you"

"I just want to be your friend. If I ever overstep you can push me off a bridge" he said, a hand on his heart. She looked at him suspicious.

"A bridge? Over trains or over water?"

"Whatever you prefer"

"What if there's no bridge"

"There's always a bridge"

"What if there isn't?"

"You can push me under a car"

"That's less dangerous"

"How is it less dangerous?"

"I don't know, it seems less dangerous"

"Okay, then you can find another way to kill me" he said. "Please, just friends. I miss you"

"Fine" she sighed.

"Really?"

"Don't make me regret it"

"I won't I promise" he said. "Do you want to grab a bite before the race starts?"

"I already ate, thanks"

"What did you eat?"

"A sandwich"

"That's not a proper meal"

"I'm okay, thanks"

"Okay" he nodded. "Where are you watching from today?"

"McLaren, as usual"

"How about a change?"

"No thanks, I don't really want to see Charles from beside his girlfriend" she scoffed.

"It could make him jealous"

"Why would it, we're just friends"

"He doesn't know that"

"I think he does"

"Okay, but what if he didn't?"

"Carlos, don't overstep"
