FADED MEMORIES: A Lance Stroll fanfiction

CHAPTER 12

The next morning Olivia woke up to her alarm blaring loudly. She let out a groan as she opened her eyes. Looking up, she saw the sun peeking through the blinds of her hotel room window.

Getting up, she thought about what she was going to do for the next few days. In a few hours, she would have the hotlap with Daniel, and then she would watch free practice from the Renault garage.

After that she and Daniel would finish watching the movie when they got back to the hotel. The next day she would watch quali from the garage as well, and on Sunday the race.

After the race she would need to get back to the hotel, and pack her things for her flight the following day, and then she was off to Sydney for another concert.

She smiled. "This week is going to be a good week." She said to herself.

She scrolled through her instagram a bit, liking and replying to a few comments on the way. After checking her messages, giving her mom a call, and telling Jason that "Yes, her flight would be on Monday and she would land in Sydney at 9 am.", she put her hair up into a messy bun and went to go get freshened up.

After washing her face, taking a shower, and messaging Daniel that she would meet him for breakfast, she looked through her clothes to see what she would wear that day.

It would be pretty hot outside, so she definitely wasn't wearing any leather, and her favourite REP hoodie obviously wasn't an option.

After she decided on a pair of jeans, and a yellow shirt, she went to get dressed. After pulling her shirt over her head, she went to do her makeup.

Knowing that she would most likely be out for the whole day, she decided to keep it simple with lipstain, and a bit of mascara.

She put her hair up in a ponytail, and put some hairspray on. Grabbing her purse, and putting on her shoes, she walked out the door, and made her way to the elevator, making sure not to forget the Renault cap that Daniel had given her the day prior.

As she walked towards the hotel restaurant, she saw Daniel waiting for her at the entrance. He waved to her, a large grin on his face.

"Good morning!" she said, the smile on her face bright as it was the night before. "Someone's chirpy today." Said Daniel, as they made their way to the buffet. "Did something happen last night?" he said jokingly, wiggling his eyebrows.

Olivia laughed, and hit him on the shoulder as she got some syrup to put on her pancakes. "For your information, we were back in our separate rooms by ten thirty pm." She said.

Daniel scoffed jokingly. "C'mon Olivia, we're all adults here." he said, nudging her.

"Oh do shut up, you'll just embarrass yourself." She said.

It wasn't that Olivia wasn't thinking about the previous night. Quite the opposite actually. She couldn't stop thinking about it.

Daniel led her to a table, and they sat down enjoying their breakfast.

"So what did happen last night?" asked Daniel as he took a bite out of his avocado toast. Curiosity laced his tone, and it was pretty obvious.

"Well he picked me up at six, we went to this nice Italian place for dinner, and then went back to the hotel." She said, in a matter-of-fact tone.

Daniel raised his eyebrows. "That's it?" he said. Olivia shrugged off his question. When Daniel gave her a look that said "Really now?" she rolled her eyes and said. "If you really need to know I kissed him on the cheek before we said goodnight."

"You kissed him?" Said Daniel, almost choking on his coffee. "Keep your voice down!" Hissed Olivia "But you kissed him." He repeated. "On the cheek!" She whisper-shouted.

Daniel leaned back in his chair, and looked at Olivia with a smug look on his face. "You like him don't you?" He said smirking. "No, I don't." she said, far too quickly for it to actually be true.

"Okay." Said Daniel, but it was obvious that he wasn't buying it. "Well that's good cause he just walked in with some blonde chick." He said nonchalantly.

"What!" Olivia whipped her head around so fast, she was shocked she didn't get whiplash. Realizing Daniel was just messing with her, she turned around to see the Aussie smiling smugly.

"You do like him!" he said. Olivia put her head in her hands and groaned. Daniel was never going to let her live this down. "Nobody can know." She said sternly, making Daniel raise his hands in surrender. "My lips are sealed." He said.

"Ah speak of the devil..." said Daniel. Olivia turned her head to see Lance walk in with a guy in a Mercedes shirt who she recognized as Esteban Ocon. (Yes, she did keep up with F1 even after Lance left.)

When he noticed her, he sent her a wave which she returned with a smile. Turning back, she saw Daniel struggling to hold in his laughter. She rolled her eyes.

"Oh shut up."
