Happy reading!


"I'm getting so annoyed by my mum," I say while aggressively throwing my water bottle in the trash. Charles just laughs.

"What, why? What did she do?"

"She wants me to have a boyfriend so bad. She tries to tell it like calmly and carefully but it's too prominent. Like she wants it more than I want." I say, looking to my best friend here. I've had a crush on him for the longest time, but I know I'm not his type. I love him, but more as a friend love but I wish it'd grow in something more. But he's the happiest person with Charlotte, and I'm so happy for them. "Like, I'd like a boyfriend, you know, but not now. I'm happy and I don't want that stress of getting to know new people."

"I'll put you on a blind date with Lando if you'd like..." He smiles his cheeky grin to me. He knows. He knows me and Lando have this weird connection somehow. How we're great friends but there's this tension between us, impossible to ignore but I always push him away.

"Ohh Hell no. Let me explain this to you. You remember the hate y'all got with the whole Giada and Charlotte issue thingy, right?" He nods and so I continue with many hand gestures like I always do. "Well, you came in Formula 1 with a girlfriend, Lando didn't. So if he gets a girlfriend now, the girl will get hate worse than Charlotte. Because his teenage fans think they have a chance with him, and they can get mad at that girl for taking that away. Like I've seen some fn accounts... Maybe when he's 30 it'll be less, like with Lewis, but now he's still in the hormone range. You know. And by the way, you and Charlotte are endgame."

"So you're saying me and Charlotte came out of it easy?"

"I'm not saying that, stupid." I laugh and give him a playful push on his shoulder whilst still walking. "I'm saying, you're sure about her right?"

"I am. Like I've never been so sure about anything, not even my driving."

"Then propose." He stops walking and for me, it's like a dog suddenly pulls me backwards on a leach in my hand, I stop too. I act normal again and cross my arms. I see this look in his eyes saying: And you say you don't fit with Lando.

"We've not been together for so long, just like almost a year I think? Imagine what people will think."

"So what? You sure; you sure. You don't care what people think."

"Says you." He gives me a look again, really making me doubt my whole existence.

"People who gives advice never follows it themselves, f*cks up their lives and that's why their advice is so golden."

"Your advice isn't golden, it's diamond."

"Cheesecake," I say, laughing loudly. He chuckles questioning what I just said.

"Cheesecake?"

"You're cheesy but you got that cake though," I say, referring to his but.

"Oh no, stop. But how will I propose to Charlotte? I don't even have a ring..."

"You don't need to do it now. But pick something like, close to y'all. Like I know she'd love something that symbolises your career or the car, since she also loves formula 1. Be romantic, for once"

"I have an idea, thank you."He says while running the other way. Some farther away he turns around again and screams to me: "Hell, I'm always romantic."

"Don't do anything impulsive," I shout after him when he starts running again. He's really not good in running, I think.

"Never, not with my baby."
