REAL LIFE !

Just as Juliette's makeup artist finally put on the last finishing touches of her look, the Bianchi's phone rang-in quite a startling way. Making Juliette flinch.

Her makeup artist - Layla- glared at her. "Don't ever do that again. Your look was about to be ruined!"

"Sorry Lay, the stupid ringtone scared the shit out of me." Juliette spoke sheepishly, before looking at the caller id, it was Charles.

"Hello?" Juliette spoke into the phone, as she put it against her ear.

"Where the hell are you? I'm at the restaurant already, and people are starting to pile in now." Charles rambled.

"Relax, Charlie. The restaurant is close, plus Mattia said to be there at 6:15!"

Charles paused, before speaking slowly. "Juli, it's 6:10 right now-"

"OH SHIT!-"

REAL LIFE !

Juliette was absolutely breathtaking. Nobody could deny it. She seemed so out of this world, nobody compared to her angelic beauty.

The candle-like lighting glimmered onto her gorgeous, olive skin. Her lacy dress complimenting her figure completely, A small smile played on her plumped, perfect lips, as she was being escorted to the table.

It was 6:25, Juliette was late, but not as late as she expected. Mattia smiled, as he welcomed the brunette beauty. "Welcome Juliette!"

"Hey, Mattia." Juliette grinned, as she placed herself next to Charles, who was in absolute awe of the girl-but refused to show it or realized it.

Mattia started speaking about some upcoming plans he'd been working on with the team, the other board members on the table nodded, as they perked into the conversation.

Juliette grinned as she glanced at Charles's velvet suit. "I thought you said red was too predictable."

"I didn't say that, you did." Charles shrugged, Juliette squinted at him. "Well, I didn't get an answer, so I assumed that it was a yes."

Charles rolled his eyes, before switching subjects. "Remind me to pick you up next time there's an event, so you aren't freaking late, again."

Juliette scoffed, sipping on her drink. "Charles. It isn't a big deal."

Charles shook his head. "Yes it is! How do you expect to keep a job when you've got shitty time management."

Juliette scowled playfully. "Well, I've made it this far. I mean, I can be on time if I want to, but being fashionably late is preferred."

Charles grinned, as he took a bite of his appetizer. "You are unbelievable."

"I know."

The dinner went on smoothly, Mattia popping in little jokes, lightening up the mood, as Juliette grinned-awkwardly yet warmly.

"So," Mattia started, opening up another subject. "You've told the team that your number would be 17?"

Juliette paused, before nodding slowly. "Yep. Um, My original number was 10, but I guess I wanted to go with 17."

Mattia nodded, smiling comfortingly. "Great choice." Mattia clearly did not want to point out the obvious reason of why she chose the number.

Charles glanced at the brunette girl next to him, as she picked at her food.

Juliette wasn't one to openly talk about Jules in front of others, not in such a public setting.

Charles really hadn't remembered the last time they've openly talked about her brother. They obviously still missed him, but he was unfortunately, just a memory now.

Charles whispered into the brunettes ear. "Pierre and a few others are at my house already. Do you wanna leave?"

Juliette shook her head. "No it's fine. Let's leave after desert."

Charles rose a brow, but decided not to push into it anymore. Only setting a comforting hand on hers.

The two continued on with the night. Before they left the restaurant.

Charles held her coat, as they walked to his car together. Juliette entered and sat in the passengers seat next to the drivers seat, which Charles was sitting in.

"Are you excited for Australia?" Charles questioned, desperately wanted to get rid of the silence between them, as a small smile on his lips. Juliette nodded, a tiny grin smeared on her lips. "Definitely. And a bit nervous."

"Yeah, you should be, especially since I'm on the track." Charles teased. Juliette rolled her eyes. "Don't be so full of yourself. All you're gonna be seeing is the back of my car."

"I thought you were nervous." Charles wiggled his brows. Juliette rose a brow. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

"Who's over at your place?" The brunette asked him. "Pierre, Daniel, and Cami-I think?"

"How do you not know who's at your house right now." Juliette chuckled. Charles shrugged. "I don't know. Pierre just let's anyone in."

"That's why I never gave Pierre a key to my place, he's a literal child." Juliette giggled. Charles grinned.

It was always Charles, Pierre and Juliette. The three musketeers, as Jules would call them. You would never see either without the other.

It was as if someone tied them to the hip. They were absolutely inseparable, even as kids. Though, often times Pierre and Charles would tease her for being a few years younger than them, but that never stopped her from absolutely demolishing them in races.

Juliette liked it when it was just them. She would take a relaxing day with them two, over a big event. Even if she did love dressing up, that would never beat her love for the two boys.
