"Come outside" Charles' voice beamed through my phone. The sun was glowing down on Monte Carlo, and Charles had just come home from the Miami GP.

"Give me 5 minutes" I quickly responded, throwing on a summer dress and headed out of the door. I smiled to myself, as I locked my apartment door, excited to see Charles again.

Charles stood ready outside my apartment building. He stood in front of his car, a sweet smile plastered on his lips. "I missed you" He said as he hugged me.

"I actually have a surprise for you" He told me, giving me one of those sweet smiles, that made his dimples come out.

"Close your eyes" He said, and I did fully trusting him. "Today is 17 years since I realized you were my best friends for the first time" Charles softly spoke.
And the memories flashed back at me.

Charles came up to me on the trampoline. "Here" He told me handing me a yellow flower. "Thank you" I said looking down at the flower and smiled. "Amelia you are my best friend" He said. "Charles you are my best friend as well" I told him. "My friend Andrew told me i can't be friends with girls, but I don't believe him" He said.

I blindly smiled at him. "So to celebrate that, to celebrate you, I want to give you a day full off surprises" He told me, and I could hear him opening the car door.

"Open your eyes" He said, and when I opened them he was standing there, with two bouquets full of yellow flowers in his hands. "Ohh Charles you didn't have to" I exclaimed, joy rising in my body.

"A flower for every day, I've loved you" He said, looking into my heart warmed eyes. "That's the sweetest thing ever Charles" I exclaimed wrapping my arms around Charles' neck, resting my head on his shoulder, as tears formed in my eyes.

"Thank you so much" I said accepting the flowers. I looked down at the hundreds of flowers, feeling a tear slip out of my eye.
"The day has just begun" Charles responded with a grin.

I sat down in the passenger seat, of Charles' Ferrari. Everything felt amazing as Charles sped through the streets of Monaco.

"Can I know where we're headed?" I asked Charles. "No, I'll give you a hint though" Charles replied, occasionally taking his eyes off the road, to look at me.

"We have a lot of memories from there" Charles hinted, but we basically have memories everywhere in Monte Carlo.

"You have to close your eyes again" Charles said as he drove into a parking lot. "Seriously?" I asked, absolutely hating being blinded. "It has to be a surprise" Charles answered, getting out of the car.

I closed my eyes, and Charles took my hand, our touch electric. He guided me through doors, and up stairs until he finally allowed me to open my eyes.
