Never true || Charles Leclerc

33

Lucia Grimaldi princess of Monaco

After weeks in the hospital i finely could go home, wel there comes everyday a doctor to check up on me and my physiotherapist comes also to practice to get up on my own feet again. I smiled when Charles walked into the palace

"can you see it?" i asked Charles who didn't notice me in my wheelchair while he was admiring the paintings on the wall

"hey Lucia" he said and i smiled "how are you feeling?" he asked me

"better now im out of that hospital" i said with a smile on my face

Last week after he came back from his family brunch he got an call that he needed to come to the factory in Italy, Maranello for work, so i haven't really seen him much almost the last two weeks actually. but i have been noticing something different, like he acts different around me, like he is nervous if he around me...  
I just try to brush the feeling off and ignore it but he really acts different. fidgeting with his rings, struggling with his words, and more quite than normal. Me and Charles we could just talk about everything and nothing, even just sit in silence comfortable without an awkward feeling, but now? We have been in this awaked silence for almost 15 minutes

"whats wrong?" i asked Charles who stoped fidgeting with his rings and looked at me

"what do you mean?" he asked

"This. This awkward silence  between us, if i can remember we weren't like this two weeks ago so whats wrong?" i asked

"how is physiotherapy going?" he asked changing the subject 

"good i have set a few steps- Wait don't change from the subject. whats wrong Charles? you know you can always talk to me" i said 

"wel there is this girl" he said and i looked at him "i really like her. i think, but i don't know if she likes me back and things are wel- its complicated" 

He likes someone.... My heart just shattered into a million pieces when he mentioned that girl. Even when i said to Grace that me and Charles could never happen, i already feel jealous if i would think about Charles with another girl romantically , who is not me

"wel what is she like?" i asked him, trying to not make it more awkward between us. he looked at me and smiled

"she is the most beautiful girl i ever met " he said "she is the most caring person i ever met, has the sweetest smile. i have never met someone who can make me smile and laugh so much. when im with her i feel like i can really be myself" just if he knew that this hurts me so much right now

"she sounds amazing" i said

"she is" he whispered and looked at me with a smile on his face
