Wrong number

10) grid dinner

Charles was entering the restaurant with Yuki and Pierre and went to the front desk. The restaurant was supposed to have reserve an entire room for them. The waiter greeted them and kept twirling her hair looking at Charles and Pierre. She was becoming closer and closer by the second. Charles smiled awkwardly at her.

Yuki then made a move that saved Pierre's ass that was clearly becoming uncomfortable. He grabbed his arm and went all dovey lovey. The girl then stopped as she would have clearly asked for his number. She focused on the monégasque instead.

They arrived into the room with already a few drivers chatting inside. "Thanks Yukino, you saved my ass there" The Japanese simply smiled at him. He only let go of his arm when they sat down. Having forgotten about it, being so comfortable with Pierre.

They all sat down at the end of the table where they joined Max and Daniel. Daniel was at the end and Max on one side. Charles sat in front of the Dutchman and Pierre sat beside him with Yuki. Lando and Carlos then arrived and sat in front of them. They all started chatting together about their qualifying session earlier in the day. Charles was happily telling how he beated Max at getting pole. At some point they talked about something else while Max was maxplaining about the circuit to Charles.

Multiple drivers then arrived in the room. Lewis sat down in the middle with George and Valteri. Alex quickly sat next to George. When everyone arrived, a few waiters came and took their drink orders. Which meant lots of cocktails, shots, vodka, tequila and Almave.

The whole grid started talking again. The group consisting of the twitch quartet, Pierre, Yuki, Carlos, Max and Daniel started chatting together. Pierre was always looking on his left to see if Max and Charles weren't starting world war three even if he believed they were friends. The Frenchman then started to talk to Daniel about how he got the idea of the dinner and if he and Yuki would want to join the group they currently had.

They both immediately said yes. And Pierre was happy to announce to Daniel that their respective best friends were now friends too. And if he didn't believe him, to go check their instagrams. "No way!" Daniel exclaimed when he checked. "So now we'll be able to do things all together! Like after parties, hang outs, other grid dinners." Charles stopped talking with Max about their qualifying strategies and looked angrily at Pierre. The French man raised his hands in the air to prove his innocence.

At the same time, the waiters came back with multiple drinks. Charles immediately downed two shots and began drinking his main drink. Max took one shot and his drink. The rest of the group watched them curiously and only had their drinks.

"- Pierre no! We're not friends, Charles told him, scolding him.

- Oh shut up you were yapping about racing since we're there, he answered him rolling his eyes.

The two of them were offended and simply stopped talking at all and crossed their arms on their chests. They could stay not friends while only being yapping buddies, right?

Charles that ordered other shots earlier drank the ones he got back and downed the rest of his drink. He was about to have another shot but Max took it. "Hey I need it." The monégasque had told him. "I need it more." Max had replied. They immediately ordered a next round.

- Wait you never told us what happened when you two went into a hidden corridor when you fought, Lando suddenly asked.

- What? Daniel was confused.
