"You can keep me from saying it but you know the truth Nathalie. We see it, others see it, except for the two of yo...
Charles didn't know what to expect. He just kept his arms around her, letting her hear his heartbeat, hoping that she wouldn't run away.
"Those days we were apart, that ruined me. I couldn't sleep thinking why you could have asked me out on that dinner. And when I said yes, I never thought it would change us at all." He whispered.
Thalie took this time to look up at him, "But..."
He sighed, "But it did. It made me see you and what I mean is really see you Thalie. In ways much more greater than how I see the others I dated. It was like my eyes were opened to a whole new version of you and yet you were still the same. And that made me question myself, was I an idiot for not seeing you this way?"
She gulped, "In what way?" she asked. She had to hear it from him. Loud and clear.
"In a completely different way. In a kind of in love way." He admitted, his heart hammering in his chest. Something he knew she was able to feel and hear.
Thalie studied him, he was nervous and so was she. He had said his piece, it was her turn, and Charles knew that. He patiently stood there as she composed herself. As she composed the sentences she wanted to tell him.
It felt like centuries just standing there. But when she spoke, he was glad she did.
"I didn't know when it started, I have to admit, I have always admired you Charlie. You had big dreams and you were slowly reaching them, given not every time is a high, there were lows that you were comfortable enough to trust me with. Times when you were vulnerable made me see you more. In ways I wished you could have seen the way I look at you." She said and let out a breath. Pulling a way from him slightly so she was facing him fully.
"Every time I saw you, either smiling or frowning, I admired you. You have become such a comfort zone and yet thrilling experience for me. Every time I saw you, in your peak or in your lowest, I always wanted to be there because that's when you see me and it didn't matter how you looked or see me, as long as you were. That was enough."
Thalie slowly walked to him, intertwining their fingers, "It took a lot of courage to ask you to that dinner. Especially when I knew you were looking for something real, and I didn't know if I could give that. I just knew I can make you feel it. How much I adore you, I admire you, I love you..." she trailed staring straight into his green eyes.
His jaw dropped, not expecting for her to say it. This made her laugh bitterly, "There, I said it. I love you Charles. For a long time now." She said. He didn't say anything, this made her laugh again bitterly and pulled her hand away. "It was nice to see you Charles. See you around." She said as she moved to walk away.
But Charles didn't give her a chance, grabbing her arm and turning swiftly to him. He caught her by the waist and moved his hand to her cheek before planting his lips on hers.
Frozen in time, Thalie did not expect to be kissed by her best friend on the streets of their hometown. But she started to not care, moving closer to him, she moved her hands to his arm and the other on his cheek, finally kissing him back.
Charles' heart felt like it was going to explode. There he was, being kissed back by his best friend on the streets of their hometown.
He didn't know how long they were kissing, he just felt like time had stopped. But unfortunately, their moment had to end at some point. And to Charles' dismay it was the sound of a camera click.
Pulling away from each other, there on their right stood a shocked and bewildered Pierre Gasly. Thalie couldn't help but laugh at the situation and hid her face in Charles' chest.
All the while the Monegasque stared at his best friend with an unamused look on his face. "Really mate?"
"You're really asking me when I caught you two kissing, ON THE STREET?!" the French said exaggeratedly. Charles rolled his eyes, "You told me to run after her."
"I said talk not kiss her." Pierre answered back. Thalie laughed again making Charles look down at her. He saw her looking up at him, "Can we just leave it? I missed you Charlie." She whispered and wrapped her arms around her neck.
Charles felt his lips smile and hug her back, placing a kiss on her head before whispering back, "I went with him, Ki will kill me if we leave him." This made her laugh again, a sound that Charles missed and will not let go anymore.
"Alright, I don't know what you guys are whispering about but I am still here." Pierre said ruining the mood again. Charles scoffed, "Unfortunately..."
Pierre pointed his finger at her, "Hey! If it wasn't for me you wouldn't even be in this situation. You should thank me." He said proudly,
Thalie raised her head from Charles' chest, "Merci Pierre." She said sincerely. The French smiled at her, "It's nothing. It's time for you two to get together anyway. I can't keep on losing to Kiara."
This made the pair laugh at their best friend, after a few seconds, Charles invited the model to go back to the restaurant the two drivers were at a few minutes ago.
Not wanting to be apart from him, Thalie agreed. Something Pierre did not realize would cause him to become the third wheel all of a sudden despite being the one to pay for the dinner and the dessert.
