"Growing up having racing at the centre of your family, isn't always as exciting as people think. My father lived and breathed racing, and almost died because of it.
I have always been in my brother's shadow, always known for being Romero's little...

Charles
I don't know what I was doing.
Why was I knocking on Lucia's door at 7:00 am to ask her if she wanted to have breakfast with me?
She probably wasn't even awake.
Which is a good thing right? Because then this won't be so embarrassing?
I just couldn't stop thinking about her after that "bonding" meeting last night. Even when I shut my eyes to fall asleep, all I saw was her. All I heard was her laugh.
Suddenly, I was taken out of my thoughts.
Oh no, I can hear someone moving behind the door. Why were my hands shaking too?
I don't get nervous.
"Charles, pull your head in"
I whispered to myself.
My head was hung down, which meant I didn't see that she had opened the door and heard me talking to myself.
"Do you normally talk to yourself when you are waiting for someone to open the door?"
She giggled.
God I wanted to hear her laugh all day.
"Arh no"
I said as I scratched the back of my neck and looked everywhere but at her.
"Um Charles"
she said, grabbing my attention. I looked at her, and I knew then and there that I hadn't seen anything more beautiful.
She had a loose messy bun, probably from sleeping in it. But that didn't draw away from how pretty she looked.
Except when I noticed she was wearing a Red Bull t-shirt, it made my blood boil. I wanted her out of that shirt immediately.
I quickly shook the thought out of my head. Why would I care if she was wearing a Red Bull shirt? That Shouldn't bother me, but it did.
"Did you need something?"
She asked softly, bringing me back to reality. I realised that this must look really fucking weird to her right now. I could have just texted her, and it would be less awkward. It's like I can't think straight when I am around her.
"I- ah-"
I stuttered as she raised her eyebrows at me like she was amused that I was panicking.
"I just wanted to know if you wanted to grab breakfast with me, but now that I'm thinking about it, it is really early for you, and you don't have to be at the paddock until 10, which means, really, you don't have to have breakfast until like 9:00 am, so you don't have to be up right now, and I'm realising that I have woken you up way too early, and I am so sorry, and you probably don't even want to have breakfast with me and now I'm rambling, and I can't stop so please say something so I can stop. Please."
