could you watch my boyfriend for a sec .ᐟ - cl 16

The warm crisp air breezed through your whole body, you loved staying at the backyard whenever Charles was occupied with something then suddenly an idea popped into your mind. Recently, the trend of "could you watch my boyfriend/husband/partner for a sec" and what perfect person to do this to other than your boyfriend Charles.

You were unique and outstanding, Charles loved that for you which is why instead of a video recording you did an instagram live. Once you started the live, lots of people joined the live and the comments flushed as well. You quickly head back inside the house, a smile creeps up into your face as you see Charles busy doing something in the dining table.

Hastily, you run behind his back and stood your phone on the glass of water that was in front of Charles. "could you watch my boyfriend for a sec" You giggle as you immediately leave and hide somewhere.

"Wha- I-" Charles stuttered, he was stunned by the sudden action. A soft laugh comes out of his face when he sees the Instagram live in front of him. "Well hello beautiful people." He smiles softly, eyes fixated on the oranges he was peeling for you.

"You are such a dork." Arthur snickers, looking over at Charles from the living room while he plays his video game.

"I am peeling oranges for my girlfriend, i am not a dork" Charles glared at Arthur jokingly as he continued peeling the oranges.

"Not that." Arthur says, getting up from the couch and heading to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water as he drinks from it then saying "That" He points to the instagram live and to Charles talking to the viewers.

"oh ferme la, i'm talking to my beautiful fans well they're yn's fans but you get the point." oh shut up He looks over at Arthur eventually looking back at the screen. "So how are you today beautiful people? Hope you're doing great, what have you been up to?" He smiles cutely at the phone, still peeling oranges while reading some of the comments.

Arthur chuckles at the sight as he went back to his videogame.

"Oh yeah? That's a good hobby for you username13. I've been peeling oranges for my lovely yn, she didn't ask but i'm peeling them for her so she has a little snack when she plays with Leo later." Charles smiles while reading one of the comments.

Meanwhile, you were watching him slight from afar with a huge smile on your face. God was he so cute, he is definitely boyfriend material. You giggle as he talks to the fans, you couldn't help but fall for him even more.

a/n: i am on a charles leclerc frenzy wth so cl fans u r lucky cuz i will posting tons of cl fics also happy 1.1k ! <3

Size isn't everything (P2) II Carlos Sainz x Bodyguard!Reader

SUMMARY: The tension between Carlos and you continues and it takes one scary moment to bring your feelings to light. Part 2 of this

WARNINGS: Injuries.

A/N: Over on wattpad people requested a part 2 ;)

The following weeks after the club incident were different. Carlos, ever the charmer, had cranked up his flirting to full throttle. He teased you at every turn, leaning into that spark that had flickered between you. His cocky grin was now a near-constant companion, and while you maintained your professional composure, there were moments, brief moments, where Carlos could see your defenses waver.

"Careful, Sainz," you'd warned him one afternoon as you saw him to his hotel room. "You're treading on thin ice."

He leaned closer, his voice a low whisper, "What if I like the cold?"

Your eyes had flicked to his lips before quickly looking away, but he'd caught it. That tiny slip gave him hope.

Despite your best efforts, his persistence was wearing you down. He wasn't just some spoiled racer he was genuinely fun to be around. And though you hated to admit it, you liked the banter. There was a warmth to him, a charm that went beyond his good looks and fame. 

Still, you constantly reminded yourself that this was a job. You couldn't get involved with him, no matter how much he made your stomach flutter when he flashed you those big brown eyes.

But Carlos wasn't making it easy.

One evening, after a particularly intense race where he had secured a podium finish, you'd found yourselves on the balcony of his new Monaco home. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the city. He leaned against the railing, a glass of champagne in hand, watching you with that familiar playful glint in his eye.

"I have to ask," he began, his tone teasing, "what do you do for fun? Or are you always this serious?"

You'd been scanning the area like you were used to, but turned to him and gave him a deadpan look. "My job is to keep you alive, Sainz. Fun doesn't exactly factor into that."

He laughed, taking a sip of his drink. "Come on, you've got to let loose sometime. You can't be all uptight, all the time."

You rolled your eyes, trying to remain unaffected, but the truth was, you could feel your walls crumbling, piece by piece. There was something about him, something disarming, that made it harder and harder to keep up your professionalism.

"I know what you're doing," you said turning away from his intense gaze. "And it's not going to work."

He raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "And what is that?"

You turned back to him, stepping closer, your eyes narrowing slightly. "Flirting."

His grin widened, shameless. "Oh, that? I thought I was being subtle."

This time you failed to hold back the smile. "Ha ha"

He laughed again, that warm, genuine laugh that always made your heart skip a beat. You shifted uncomfortably, trying to suppress the emotions stirring inside you. You couldn't afford to lose focus. Not with him.

"I should go, lock the door." You stepped away before you let your feelings control you. 

_____

The race day was a blur of noise and speed. Carlos was locked in a fierce battle for the last podium place, weaving through the track, every muscle in his body tense with focus. You watched from the paddock, your attention split between the live race feed in the garage and the bustling crowd. You never let yourself get too caught up in the race itself though. Your job was to protect Carlos from everything offthe track.

But as the final laps unfolded, an uneasy feeling consumed you. You scanned the crowd, your eyes narrowing when you spotted somone who didn’t quite fit. He was standing just behind the barriers at Parc Ferme, his eyes locked onto Carlos's car as it zoomed by for the cool-down lap.

As the the roar of the crowd filled the air signaling the end of the race you watched as the man moved through the people, his eyes steady on that 3rd place position Carlos would eventually pull into. His body language was tense, and suspicious as he inched closer to where Carlos would soon be.

Your instincts flared. You moved quickly, pushing through the multitude of people running to the podium, your eyes locked on the man.

Just as he climbed out of his car, the man made his move. He broke through the crowd, something glinting in his hand. You reacted quickly, rushing toward the man, and grabbing his wrist firmly. You would do your best to avoid causing a scene, costing Carlos his moment so with a firm grip on the man you quickly shoved him away. 

But the man was stronger than he looked, as soon as you'd gotten him away from the crowd, away from the cameras, calling for security, he managed to momentarily slip out of your grasp, the sharp object emerging from his pocket as it came to slice your arm. You had no time to react to the pain as you quickly subdued him, security there soon after ready to cuff the man. 

Carlos had embraced his team, he tried to remain happy and cheerful as he received pats and congratulations from those around him but as he looked around not seeing you around set off alarm bells in his head. You were good at your job, and you were good at sticking around unnoticed but he always knew you were there, he always felt your presence and this time he couldn't

He was rushed to give the interviews and proceed to the podium ceremony but that didn't take away from the fact that he was worried, where had you gone? 

After the ceremony, Carlos wasted no time asking about your whereabouts only to be informed that "a situation had occurred" which you had to attend to. 

"What does that mean?" Carlos tried to learn more only to be shut down. 

"She needs stitches she's heading to hospital now." he heard security from the track talking to his team. 

"Who needs stitches? Where is she?!" A great feeling of dread invaded Carlos's body. The silence of those around him was enough of an answer to him. 

_

“Y/N!” Carlos rushed to you, his voice tight with panic.

"Carlos, what are you doing here?" You asked surprised to see him rush into the hospital room. 

"What happened?!" He looked at your blood-soaked sleeve. 

“It’s fine,” you said through gritted teeth, cradling your arm. “It’s just a scratch.”

He wasn’t convinced. “You’re bleeding.”

"Not that much, they'll come to fix it soon. Carlos, you need to get back to-"

"I'm not going anywhere" Carlos didn't let you finish. 

“I said I’m fine! I’m still alive, aren’t I?” you tried to joke, but there was a slight tremor to your voice.

Carlos wasn't laughing. He held your uninjured hand, his fingers locking with yours. “You shouldn’t have had to do that. You could’ve been-.” he didn't dare finish the thought. 

Your defenses kicked back in, but this time, you could see the fear in his eyes. “It’s my job, Carlos. This is what I signed up for.”

He shook his head, he kneeled in front of you. “You got hurt because of me.”

You hesitated, your heart pounding as the truth settled between you. He was right, you'd done this form him. But not because of the job. But because the thought of something happening to him terrified you more than getting hurt yourself.  

“It wasn’t your fault,” you said softly. 

The doctor arrived, ready to stitch you up. Carlos stayed by your side the whole time, his usual cocky attitude replaced by a quiet, anger. Carlos paced the room but when you'd occasionally wince in pain you saw the way Carlos's eyes increased with sadness. 

“Stop blaming yourself,” You said as soon as the doctor left. “This...it happens.”

He stopped pacing and turned to you, frustration evident in his eyes. “You think I’m just supposed to be okay with this? That you can get hurt- because of me? and I’m supposed to just let it happen?”

You sighed, getting up and walking towards him. “It’s not about being okay with it. It’s about understanding that I’m here to do a job, and sometimes that job comes with risks!” Your voice was once again stern. 

He closed the distance between you even more, his voice dropping to a near whisper. “I don’t want you risking anything for me.”

You looked away, trying to ignore the weight of his gaze. “Well, that's not how this works.” 

There was silence, thick and tense, before he spoke again. 

“I care about you." he confessed. 

"No-" You avoided his gaze.

"More than you think. And I can’t stand the thought of you getting hurt because of me.” he didn't allow you to interrupt him as he approached you forcing you to face him again. 

You froze. This was exactly what you'd feared, why you had tried to keep your distance. 

But the look in his eyes, raw and honest, was breaking down every wall you'd had built.

“You're not supposed to care,” you whispered. “This is my job.” You sighed defeated. 

He cupped your face. “You think I’m just going to stop caring because you tell me to? You don't have a problem getting hurt for me, but why can't you admit you care about me too?”

Your breath hitched. You opened her mouth to protest, to shut this conversation down before it went any further, but the words wouldn’t come.

Instead, Carlos tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. His thumb brushing over your cheek in the softest of touches. 

“Let me in.” He pleaded. 

Your heart pounded in your chest, every instinct screaming at you to pull away, to keep things professional. But as he leaned in, his breath warm against your lips, you couldn’t move. You couldn’t think straight, standing so close, his presence was overwhelming.

And when his lips finally brushed against yours, it was like every wall you'd built crumbled in an instant. The kiss was soft at first, hesitant as if he was giving you a chance to pull back. 

But you didn’t. You leaned into him, deepening the kiss, letting yourself feel something you'd been trying to deny for so long. His hand slid around your waist, pulling you closer, and you let yourself get lost in the moment, the warmth of his touch, the softness of his lips.

Although not as sleek as a glass shower screen, there are merits to a good old fabric shower curtain. For starters, bathrooms can be clinical spaces without much texture or character (especially in a modern build or rental where you didn’t choose the bathroom), and a shower curtain can add softness and colour to a space that might not feel like your own. Shower curtains also tend to be relatively inexpensive, so instead of fighting a battle with limescale on a glass screen, you can replace it once it’s no longer looking its best or, provided it's machine washable, just pop it in the wash.FAQsWhere’s the best place to buy a shower curtain?AccordionItemContainerButtonWhether you go for a chic plain shower curtain or a stylish patterned one, many of the best furniture shops lead double lives as shower curtain retailers. H&M Home has some excellent options and Ferm Living’s selection is particularly good. Annoyingly for us in the UK, shops in the US tend to have a broader selection of design-led shower curtains (such as Heather Taylor Home’s collaboration with West Elm) but the shipping and taxes shouldn’t be too painful if you did take a fancy to one from a maker on Etsy, for example, as they’re generally a lightweight and affordable purchase. Finally, Toast take the crown for the smartest striped options.What material is best for a shower curtain?AccordionItemContainerButtonThere are waffle shower curtains, linen shower curtains and plastic shower curtains. Some have high quality metal grommets, others have weighted hems. With so many options, how does one choose? The best shower curtain doesn’t need to be made of a specific material.

We recommend finding a style you love first, then checking to see if it’s water repellent or water-resistant, as well as mildew-resistant.If you’d rather the visible part of your shower curtain wasn’t made of plastic and looked more like a proper curtain, have one made from a fabric of your choosing and coat it in a waterproofing spray, then line it with a vinyl sheet or purpose shower curtain liner (you can buy these from Amazon for a few pounds) so there’s always a barrier between the fabric and the water.

Although not as sleek as a glass shower screen, there are merits to a good old fabric shower curtain. For starters, bathrooms can be clinical spaces without much texture or character (especially in a modern build or rental where you didn’t choose the bathroom), and a shower curtain can add softness and colour to a space that might not feel like your own. Shower curtains also tend to be relatively inexpensive, so instead of fighting a battle with limescale on a glass screen, you can replace it once it’s no longer looking its best or, provided it's machine washable, just pop it in the wash.FAQsWhere’s the best place to buy a shower curtain?AccordionItemContainerButtonWhether you go for a chic plain shower curtain or a stylish patterned one, many of the best furniture shops lead double lives as shower curtain retailers. H&M Home has some excellent options and Ferm Living’s selection is particularly good. Annoyingly for us in the UK, shops in the US tend to have a broader selection of design-led shower curtains (such as Heather Taylor Home’s collaboration with West Elm) but the shipping and taxes shouldn’t be too painful if you did take a fancy to one from a maker on Etsy, for example, as they’re generally a lightweight and affordable purchase. Finally, Toast take the crown for the smartest striped options.What material is best for a shower curtain?AccordionItemContainerButtonThere are waffle shower curtains, linen shower curtains and plastic shower curtains. Some have high quality metal grommets, others have weighted hems. With so many options, how does one choose? The best shower curtain doesn’t need to be made of a specific material. Each one has its merits. We recommend finding a style you love first, then checking to see if it’s water repellent or water-resistant, as well as mildew-resistant.If you’d rather the visible part of your shower curtain wasn’t made of plastic and looked more like a proper curtain, have one made from a fabric of your choosing and coat it in a waterproofing spray, then line it with a vinyl sheet or purpose shower curtain liner (you can buy these from Amazon for a few pounds) so there’s always a barrier between the fabric and the water. Don’t overlook shower curtain rings either – they don’t need to be white plastic; H&M Home sells chic black metal ones and John Lewis has a really smart chrome style with rollerball detail to help them open and close smoothly.Best shower curtains to buy in 2025Simon BevanA waffle shower curtain in a London flat by Ben Pentreath adds softness and texture to the bathroom, contrasting nicely with the sleek marble bath and the dark wood furniture.

Although not as sleek as a glass shower screen, there are merits to a good old fabric shower curtain. For starters, bathrooms can be clinical spaces without much texture or character (especially in a modern build or rental where you didn’t choose the bathroom), and a shower curtain can add softness and colour to a space that might not feel like your own. Shower curtains also tend to be relatively inexpensive, so instead of fighting a battle with limescale on a glass screen, you can replace it once it’s no longer looking its best or, provided it's machine washable, just pop it in the wash.FAQsWhere’s the best place to buy a shower curtain?AccordionItemContainerButtonWhether you go for a chic plain shower curtain or a stylish patterned one, many of the best furniture shops lead double lives as shower curtain retailers. H&M Home has some excellent options and Ferm Living’s selection is particularly good. Annoyingly for us in the UK, shops in the US tend to have a broader selection of design-led shower curtains (such as Heather Taylor Home’s collaboration with West Elm) but the shipping and taxes shouldn’t be too painful if you did take a fancy to one from a maker on Etsy, for example, as they’re generally a lightweight and affordable purchase. Finally, Toast take the crown for the smartest striped options.What material is best for a shower curtain?AccordionItemContainerButtonThere are waffle shower curtains, linen shower curtains and plastic shower curtains. Some have high quality metal grommets, others have weighted hems. With so many options, how does one choose? The best shower curtain doesn’t need to be made of a specific material. Each one has its merits. We recommend finding a style you love first, then checking to see if it’s water repellent or water-resistant, as well as mildew-resistant.If you’d rather the visible part of your shower curtain wasn’t made of plastic and looked more like a proper curtain, have one made from a fabric of your choosing and coat it in a waterproofing spray, then line it with a vinyl sheet or purpose shower curtain liner (you can buy these from Amazon for a few pounds) so there’s always a barrier between the fabric and the water. Don’t overlook shower curtain rings either – they don’t need to be white plastic; H&M Home sells chic black metal ones and John Lewis has a really smart chrome style with rollerball detail to help them open and close smoothly.Best shower curtains to buy in 2025Simon BevanA waffle shower curtain in a London flat by Ben Pentreath adds softness and texture to the bathroom, contrasting nicely with the sleek marble bath and the dark wood furniture. We'd suggest sticking with neutral tones if going for texture on a shower curtain. To get the look and add a similar layer of cosiness to your bathroom, H&M Home or Dunelm would be a great place to start, with highly affordable seersucker and waffle options.

Steal This Look: Designer Rose Uniacke’s Serene and Airy Office Kitchen

This week we’re revisiting our favorite stories from 2024, like this one: In her latest book, English designer Rose Uniacke reveals the updated interiors of her 1860 property in central London’s Pimlico area. The kitchen, unsurprisingly, is at once homely and monastic chic, decorated with carefully selected antiques and an artful layout. Her kitchen/dining room stands out, with original plaster walls, rare Swedish furniture, and a custom curtained kitchen. Here we profile a few of the details that make up the look.

Above: The kitchen is smartly divided using custom drapery. Photograph by Francois Halard from Rose Uniacke at Work (see also our post: Required Reading: Rose Uniacke at Work).

Above: A closer look at the kitchen, where an oak surround frames the sink and splashback. Photograph by Francois Halard from Rose Uniacke at Work, as featured in our post: Required Reading: Rose Uniacke at Work.

Materials

Above: Mimic the natural plaster pink walls with Bauwerk Colour’s Limewash Paint in Charlottenburg. For more on limewash paint, see Remodeling 101: Everything You Need to Know About Limewash Paint and DIY Project: Limewashed Walls for Modern Times.

Fixtures & Appliances

Above: For a similar faucet, the Barber Wilsons & Co. Regent 1040 1890s Style Faucet (R1040-1890) is $3,420 at Quality Bath.

Above: The Gaggenau Induction Hob with Integrated Hook (CV282101) is available through Gaggenau dealers.

Lighting & Furniture

Above: Vintage Charlotte Perriand CP1 Wall Sconces from the 1970s can be found for $1,300 per piece at Gallery L7. 

Above: The table lamp on the cupboard is by Jos Devriendt. The Night and Day 246 Lamp at left is available through Demisch Danant.

Above: Uniacke chose dining furniture designed by Swedish maker Axel Einar Hjorth. The Utö Dining Table in pine was manufactured by Nordiska Kompaniet in 1932. The table can be found through online auction houses such as Phillips and for sale at The Expert.

Above: Axel Einar Hjorth Utö Dining Chairs to complement the table, also from the 1930s, are available at 1stDibs and elsewhere online.

Above: Similar rattan chairs can be sourced widely online. Atelier Vime in Provence offers a slew of vintage options: Shown here is the Georges Coslin Vintage Rattan Set. On the low end, there’s the Monet High Back Antique Lounge Chair from Scout & Nimble, currently on sale for $620.

Accessories

Above: To source quality fabric for curtains of all sizes, East London Cloth’s Elderfield Vellum is an example of some of their fabric available by the meter; $72 per meter. For more, see our post: East London Cloth: Purveyors of Household Linens, Made to Last.

Above: For a simple, easy-to-source cast iron teapot, The Republic of Tea’s Simplicity Iron Teapot is $65.99.
