"ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU TOLD ME THE RIGHT GATE?" He said, for what seemed the millionth time.

Aline groaned, rolling her eyes before nodding her head.

"Yes Charls, I'm at gate two, where are you? I've been searching for fifteen minutes!" She said, almost whining it out as she looked around.

"Wait, are you the one with a pink suitcase?" He asked a chuckle leaving his lips, making her own turn up while she glanced at her hot pink suitcase.

"Yes, where are you?"

"Behind you."

With a gasp, Aline turned around, the neck pillow barely sitting upon her shoulders from how fast she moved, and a smile forming on her lips.

"Hi, Ange," Charles said, a soft smile displaying on his lips, Aline smiled back and, without thinking twice, jumped in his arms and hugged him.

"Hi." Her voice came out muffled because of his black hoodie and the fact that her face was buried in it, but he still heard her and let out a small chuckle.

"You ready to go?" He asked after a few seconds when she pulled away. She nodded, sending him a small smile.

"But I'm warning you, I'm dead tired. I think I could sleep for days." She said, closing her eyes briefly before she opened them again, just in time to catch a glimpse of Charles's smile as he took hold of her briefcase.

"I was thinking, tomorrow we relax at my apartment, and then the day after I could show you around Monaco?" Charles proposed the plans he had thought about, glancing at her nervously as they walked out of the airport of Nice.

"Mhm, that's a good idea. I'll see if tomorrow afternoon I'm still tired, if not we can go around then so that you can show me everything." Aline said, sending him a radiant smile as if she sensed his insecurity.

"Perfect."

As soon as they reached his car, a Ferrari custom-made for him, he opened the passenger door for her before putting the luggage in the back and then getting inside the car himself.

"Want to put on some music?" He asked, taking out his phone as it was connected to the car's Bluetooth while Aline nodded, a blush barely visible on her cheeks as he handed her his phone, Spotify was already opened and ready to be used while the bottom of the screen showed his last played song, which was some french song that she couldn't even dream of understanding its title.

"I know exactly what song to put." She said, a giggle leaving her lips.
She glanced at Charles who had started to drive towards Monaco, and bit her lip to stop her laugh as his face went from confused to amused, as his rival's song started to play on the speakers of the car.

"No, turn it off! I already have to hear it from my sister, don't join her." He joked, smiling as she only looked at him and just said,

"Tu du du du, Max Verstappen!"

"That's it, I'm leaving you on the side of the road." He threatened, a smile still present on his face when Aline playfully rolled her eyes and changed the song, putting on some Coldplay.

"Fine, you pobre coisa. "
{ poor thing }

Charles just looked at her and sent her a look, "That is not fair, it feels like you just insulted me." Aline laughed at his words, just shaking her head while she looked out of the window and the city around them.
"Is it gonna take long to get to your house?" She asked after a few moments of silence, her eyelids practically close as she glanced at Charles.

"Yeah, around forty minutes." He said, quickly looking at the GPS before turning down the volume of the radio, but still loud enough that it could be heard clearly.

"No, I don't want to let you drive home in silence while I sleep. Let's talk." She said, rubbing her eyes as she crossed her legs and repositioned her body so that it was facing Charles.

He smiled, his dimples showing, and Aline realized at that moment just how beautiful he truly looked under the moon's soft glow, dressed in a simple black hoodie and sweats, with glasses that framed his face perfectly.

It made her want to giggle until she couldn't anymore.

"Ok, what do you want to talk about?" His voice snapped her out of her thoughts, she shrugged her shoulders.

"What job would you do if you weren't a formula one driver?" She asked randomly, brushing a black curl away from her eye and behind her ear.

"Engineer for a racing driver." He announced, a small smile on his face as he glanced at her quickly.

"Really?"

"Yeah, it was my plan B." He shrugged.
"What would you do if you weren't a model and photographer?"
This time it was Charles asking the question, his voice so soft that it almost sounded like a lullaby to Aline as his French accent became more prominent.

"Easy, a painter. I've always loved to draw, and paint, I do it like a hobby, but I wouldn't mind doing it for a living if I had the chance." Aline spoke, turning her phone so that she could see her cover, which held a Polaroid of a drawing of her family that Iago, her youngest brother, had drawn a few months ago for a school project.

"I can see it, you know? Just you in your little world, sketching some landscape." He teased, poking her on the arm as she chuckled.

"Yeah ok, Mister engineer."

"You should've gone with like musician or something," Aline continued and smirked when Charles opened his mouth to interrupt her, "and don't say it doesn't make sense. I know you can play the piano because Arthur has told me so."

"Arthur? When did you even get to talk to my brother?!" He asked, a surprised look on his face. She shrugged her shoulders, smirking at him, "You had gone to answer the house phone, and Arthur just happened to talk to me in those ten minutes you were gone." She explained, smacking his arms softly when he scoffed.

"He was very funny and he even asked me to give you a second chance if you ever messed up, saying how much of a caring and good person you are and how you always learn from your mistakes," Aline said, a soft smile on her face as she looked at Charles who just stared ahead of him, cheeks slightly red.

"Yeah well I won't mess up so, don't worry about second chances." She only smile ad his words, sleep slowly plugging her mind as she tiredly moved her hand to squeeze his.

And if Aline wasn't so tired, maybe she would've been able to pick up the silent promise that Charles Leclerc just made to her on that night, she would've been able to see the way he held his breath as soon as her hand made contact with his, or she would've noticed the way his fingers slowly intertwined with hers, or how he didn't let go of her hand until they got to his apartment.

If she wasn't so tired, Aline would've been able to see just how much he liked her.
