#and couldn't stop thinking about giada

[miabarone]

WHO: Romeo Barone @romeoxbarone LOCATION: Romeo's home

The lock clicked as Mia unlocked the door and entered her twin's house. She already had checked his location on the tracking app they shared to see he was home. After another long day of dealing with tying up the last few lose strings on Cami's now dismissed case she had to face yet another bump due to Nico's unprecedented grab at power. It still frustrated her to her core. The whole thing made her already poor anger control issues flare up. The Family had rules and structure for a reason. When the four families came together, they created a set of bylaws so that they could rule without turning against each other. And her brother had just wiped out one hundred years of law and order for what? A power grab?

The whole thing had only been flared up by a comment some lowly drug runner made the mistake of making in her presence when she was stopping by Summit Towers for some paperwork. He swiftly received a bloody nose when she punched him for making a joke about the rest of the board just bending over for her brother. The stupid man had realized his mistake after she broke his nose, her last name made any thought of retaliation die on his pea sized brain. They were a fucking joke. And Mia wanted to fix the whole thing, to restore rightful order.

"Why couldn't he just have waited until he won in the vote?" Mia burst out as she entered her brother's house and made her way to the kitchen to open the bottle of wine she'd brought along. "It really was only between him and Giada and as much as I hate to say it, I think he would have had the votes." Her voice rung out through her brother's home as the pop of the cork followed. "He's made us into a fucking joke. And what if someone decides to take out the idiot since now we all know throwing a coup is on the table?"

She couldn't help but grumbled uncharacteristically as she started moving the paddles once more. They were clearly not going to win the race, but if he was going to taunt her with information about her ex-wife, they might as well row while he did it. "You know that's rude," Sage pointed out with a huff, though the noise was filled more with amusement than not and she even accented it with a teasing eyeroll. Of course he wasn't going to give up any information on what Giada may have told him. Even if he did claim he was equally their friend, he was hers first.

She thought about joking that technically giving birth to his biological child should earn her a little more leeway with secrets, but the last thing she wanted to do was to add talking about Ruby into the conversation. She was barely holding it together with Gia being in town as it was. "I'm sure she would have found you eventually. She didn't even mean to run into me the second time, it just... happened. She showed up at the bar, had no clue I owned it, let alone worked there. I guess it was a surprise considering the job I had when she left." Or the job she didn't have, considering Sage had simply stopped showing up to work and eventually handed in her resignation for the job she'd done for over a decade. "She showed up at the house before that. Seemed surprised to see me. And I guess... Maggie, by extension. She looks so much like her, I think I'd be thrown off too. It took me months to get over it."

@floydparker

the last thing that floyd meant to do was cause tension in their conversation but he assumed that it was something sage would eventually bring up. after all, he was friends with both of them and he wasn't surprised that something had happened between the two of them. he knew what kind of chemistry the two of them had. "yeah, it was one of the first things she told me, actually. i'm beginning to wonder if that's why she came to find me. i didn't even know she was back in town until then." pausing, he shook his head. "come on. we both know there's no way i'm getting in between the two of you guys. i can't tell you what she said, just like i wouldn't tell her what you said. that isn't fair."

Brother's Girlfriends

Charles x lerclerc!fem!reader

From this request

Summary: you had some thoughts about your brother's girlfriends and Charles said that for some reason he didn't want to introduce you to his new girlfriend. (Because you don't get along well with Charlotte in the past)

WARNINGS: not edited writing

A/n: God I love it, it's so beautiful I would like to write more about this one.

Being the only daughter of the Leclercs was fine until a certain age, no, of course, you loved your family very much, it wasn't about that, even though you loved your 3 brothers very much (there is 1 year between you and Arthur), they became more protective as you got older, which bothered you.

When you started showing interest in boys, my god it was really bad becauseof your brothers.But that's why you loved Giada so much. When she started dating Charles, you had a sister you could talk to and even helped you convince Charles on some issues. Giada was a very friendly and sweet girl.So suddenly there was someone in the family that you could talk to about boys and girly things.

You were really upset when Charles broke up with Giada.Frankly, you were angry with your brother.And it pissed you off even more when he started dating Charlotte before you got over his breakup with Giada.You and Charlotte didn't get along well for some reason.And you didn't hesitate to talk about Giada at every opportunity to piss Charles off.You loved seeing Charles' reactions about it.Every time you mentioned Giada in front of Charlotte, he was squinting at you or signaling you to shut up.

When Charles and Charlotte broke up and Charles started dating Alexandra you couldn't help but start teasing your brother about why you had to find out about his new girlfriend with other people from internet."when will you introduce her to me ?" Charles stopped eating and looked at you.

"Do you remember the day I introduced you to Charlotte" You pretended to think, of course you remember very clearly, it was an absolute disaster.You smiled sweetly and nodded your head. "I remember too, I will avoid introducing you with Alexandra as much as possible."

You pouted and spoke "I'm nice with the people I like and Alexandra seems like a very nice person" you took a fork of your pasta smiling, Charles laughed watching you "I really like this girl so you won't be able to meet her anytime soon" Everyone at the table started laughing, you kicked Arthur's leg next to you Arthur groaned and grabbed his leg,you frowned and  mumbled "rude".Charles reached out and poked your cheek you started smiling because somewhere inside you knew you'd meet her soon.

this is based on thepavementsings' idea about real-estate agent!pierre and f1driver!charles because I couldn't stop thinking about it and i wanted to scream it in someone's askbox and I'm sorry for the following word vomit BUT pierre owns for an up & coming real estate agency and is "stealing" clients from charles' best friend's riccardo (and martha)'s real estate agency. riccardo is ofcourse pissed and will not stop talking about pierre, like at every meet up or holiday, there is a mention of pierre. even in their LC8 groupchat, he is always like "YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT THAT FRENCH FUCK DID TODAY" because he definitely turns up his nose at pierre being a frenchie trying to sell monacon estates

anyways, charles hears so often about it that it feels like he almost knows pierre. he does do his due diligence as a friend and offers words of support to ric & some half hearted jibes at "that french guy who's a thief". charles doesn't hate pierre though, he's kinda intrigued by him

then there's some award for real estate agents or something and everybody is going, riccardo, pierre, some of his other friends like giada's bf, etc but martha can't make it because baby c is being extra fussy and it's a day off for charles who's like "ofcourse i will be your date, I can always try and charm the people for next year if you don't get the award this year ;)" but really charles is curious about pierre but he can't tell riccardo about it who will leverage baby c for it smh

on the night of the award/gala, he is dressed UP for it, like he put actual efforts into it. and then 20 minutes into being there, he runs into someone at the bar and he starts apologizing before realising OH this is pierre and his brain stops. "Oh hey you must be pierre, riccardo did NOT mention you're so beautiful" and he wants to die and for a hole to swallow him in the ground but pierre just smirks and turns the compliment on charles saying that everyone else pales in comparison to him and then charles is blushing and then they try and start a conversation

pierre's like "your friends must hate me" and Charles is like "oh no, they're mostly tired of hearing about you *giggle*, maybe riccardo hates you a little bit" and then pierre is like oh yes I know him, I think he's great.

they talk for a while about everything and nothing and then just before they exchange numbers someone comes in and steals charles away and when he comes back pierre isn't there and they both spend the gala trying to find each other but unfortunately don't:(

in the next few days, LC8 minus riccardo but including martha and his brothers, hear all about pierre again and they're like NOT PIERRE AGAIN!! but listen to their disaster friend's missed chance anyways because they're good people. pascale and his brothers can not stop teasing him about it, they even bring it jokes about the westside story because that was the last movie watched on the leclerc movie night

then a huge rose bouquet shows up at charles' door, with a sticky note saying "date? check this box for yes and this for EXTRA YES *wink*" and in there is a business card of pierre and charles cant help but laugh but also he loved it because he doesn't have standards and then its a love story

(few months later, pierre and riccardo end up merging their businesses because now some russian fuck is trying to swoop in and they just cannot stand that, forget the french and monagasque "rivalry")(all of his friends tease him and pierre a lot, like it gets brought up at every single gathering. charles always threatens to leave but then pierre pulls him in at his side and they're both lost in their own world while riccardo mutters about annoying coworkers and annoying best friends)

bestie omg.....

FIRST of all. @thepavementsings you have inspired anonymous genius so i must tag you!!!

second of all. the amount of shenanigans that this could entail is. so funny. charles accidentally cinderella'd pierre and cant stop thinking about him so he straight up puts his house on the market and tells daniel "fuck off this is not about you (affectionate)" so pierre will come take the listing and finally, FINALLY give him his number. which just ends up being a disaster bc his house is so nice which means all the local agents are all over him and he keeps deleting voicemails/ignoring calls bc he has RACING to focus on and he didn't realize real estate was such a celebrity nightmare. until pierre finally gets in touch with him!!!! ("finally" it takes like three days bc the moment pierre sees charles' name pop up he SCRAMBLES to get hold of him)

they meet at charles' place and pierre is immediately so smooth, "are you going to invite me in 😏" and charles all but falls over himself as he brings pierre inside to take a look around.

except they dont talk about the place at all, they just fall right back into where they were during the gala. eventually pierre goes "you don't seem ready to leave...." and charles quietly confesses that he doesn't want to leave, but he couldn't think of any other way to get pierre here, and daniel doesn't know and it feels like a betrayal to ask him for his cute nemesis' contact information. (pierre: you think i'm cute? 😌 charles: i don't just let any pretty face inside you know 😏)

anyway eventually they do kiss before pierre leaves to like. go actually meet a client who wants to sell. and pierre tells him, softly, "you know it's going to be a pain in the ass to unlist this house, right?" and charles grimaces. until pierre goes "i will have to come by again to go over everything we have to do" and winks and charles gets SO RED

then pierre shows up w the bouquet of roses one afternoon and yeah. its all over for daniel's one sided rivalry once his bff is like "so there's this real estate agent...."
