In Love With Formula 1

Part 16

Lando's POV:

I woke up to the sun blinding me, I rolled over and saw a note on the coffee table

'gone to work, there is some food in the kitchen i will be back at 3pm, izzie x'

I read this as I walked over to the kitchen to see she had left out some recipes for breakfast because she knew how awful I was at cooking, there were some with eggs and bacon, some fancy toast recipes and some homemade porridge recipes, I chose one of the egg recipes and made it without burning the place down and it was actually really tasty. I found another note on the fridge door and it said

'i made a private instagram account because Charles told me to, the username is, izzo_09.'

I got my phone out to type it in and I saw that her profile picture was of her and two dogs, I was guessing they were her childhood dogs, I requested to follow her on my private account and made a cup of tea. 

I felt bad for barging in to her apartment so I did some cleaning around and made everything as neat and tidy as possible, I watered her plants after extensive googling on how much I should water them and I saw she didn't have much food left after my breakfast so I got changed and found the spare key and walked to the closest food shop to get some food for her.

I walked past the cafe she worked in and decided to buy a slice of cake and a coffee, I had been practicing my french so I knew how to say 'please can I have a latte and a slice of chocolate cake'

I walked in and she was behind the counter quite busy but was still taking orders

"Bonjour, que puis-je obtenir pour vous?" she said whilst making someone else's order

"salut, s'il vous plaît puis-je avoir un latte et une tranche dele gâteau au chocolat" I said trying to sound as French as possible but failing miserably, she turned around to see me stood there and chuckled

"That was a good attempt, a latte and chocolate cake, yes?"

"Si"

"That's Spanish" she retorted back

"4 euros then" she added

I gave her the money and waited for my order looking at the cafe, it was actually really pretty in here and surprisingly it looked quite empty compared to when I first met her here. She handed me my order and carried on working, I stepped outside and ate my cake before carrying on to the shop to buy some food. Whilst I was sat outside I decided to ring Zak and ask about any karting oppotunities.

"Hello Zak, you know I'm in Monaco and do you remember Izzie, I invited her to the last two grand prix well I found out she's a 2 time world champion of karting with loads of British and European championships" I was spewing so much information at such as fast rate

"I know" were the only words to come from the other end of the phone

"Wait how do you know"

"Well when there is a girl racing in a male dominated sport you tend to pick up on it"

"Okay well I was wondering if there was anything we could do, she said about getting back in to it and I wanted to help"

"I can have a chat with her at some point and we could work something out but she is a massive advocate for women in motorsport so there needs to be lots of women on any team she decides to join"

"Okay thank you Zak" I hung up the phone and continued to the shops. I was walking back to Izzie's apartment when my phone buzzed in my pocked 'izzo_09 accepted your follow request' 'izzo_09 has requested to follow you' I accepted her follow request and took a quick look at her posts, there was a picture of her in her apartment with a bottle of vodka in hand with a  childish grin on her face, I saw that Charles had liked the photo as well as some people I assumed were friends from home. 

I got back and unpacked the shopping and sat out on the balcony until Izzie got back at 3:30pm, I got up and smiled at her as she looked around to see that I had cleaned and tidied her apartment.

"Thank you" she said with a small sigh

"You alright?" 

"Yeh just tired, busy day"

"Okay well I even polished all of your trophies "

"All of them? So you found out who I am then?"

"Yeh, why didn't you tell me about it?" I asked

"I haven't really told anyone, people are just figuring it out now"

"Okay, well I'm making dinner so you can go and have a nap whilst I try not to burn anything"

"Thanks"

She walked in to her room and got straight in to her bed and within minutes she was asleep and I started on dinner.

A few days passed and I was due to go back to England to do some work at MTC so I packed all of my things and said my goodbyes and off I was back to England, I had the best time in Monaco, Izzie showed me some of the best views and shops here as well as teaching me some basic French and how to actually sound French. I was telling Carlos all about it on the phone when I got back to my house.
