Book 1: Oh love, how could I forget~ (Lance Stroll)

Chapter 25: Weird Thoughts

Lily's POV

Charles Leclerc wins 2nd place for the first race of the season~

Holy smokes! This is so great! First race with Ferrari and Charles getting 2nd! Yesss!

"You were amazing!!!" I congratulated Charles after his cool down. "Thank you thank you" He was thanking everyone and in these moments I think anyone would feel really happy that hard work does pay off.

"Okay you have interviews. Shane will be with you for today but for the next races I think I'll be able to assist you too" I reminded him and he nodded.
"Where will I find you after?"
"I'll just be in the area. Amber doesn't want me to get involved with the press yet. Not until I can manage my own"
"Well then, I have to go now so we can have dinner later yeah?"
I nodded and smiled as Charles walk out of the garage with Shane.

I went to the motorhome and had a brainstorming meeting regarding the next video for their youtube channel. They were open for suggestions and since I do have decent subscribers, they were somewhat putting my ideas as options. It was quite a short meeting so I went out with my mask on again.

I saw Lando walking back so I waved hi.
"Congrats!!" Lando won 3rd today and it was his maiden podium. "Thanks mate! I'd love to chat now but I need to go back" Lando smiles as the sun shines on him. I never noticed this but his eyes are so attractive. They were sooo blue like the ocean. But.. it's weird for me to think that.
"It's okayyyy! You go now tiger! You deserve the celebration" I said as I gently push him towards his direction. "Let's hangout this week!!" He yells as he waves goodbye.

"Lily! Come on! You have to be in the team picture too" Amber grabs my arm and we both went back to the garage.
"1 2 3!" The picture taking took forever but it was a great feeling.
"Good race today!" I say as Seb pass by.
"So you did accept the job"
"Yes I did" I chuckled
"You're doing great too! Keep it up!" He says as he waves goodbye.

"Ma chère. Are you ready to go?" Charles got out of his room after changing. I nodded, pretty much hungry already.
"Do you want to go out or?"
"What do you want? You're the King today" I joked.
"I kind of want to rest at the hotel so let's order room service?" He suggests.
"Sure!"

At Charles' room

"This is soo good. What did you order?" I asked as we were munching down our food
"I don't know. I just asked to bring their Special for today" Charles chuckles.
"Do we have the schedule ready for next week's race?"
"Yeah. Light training everyday since you're actually lighter than our target weight. Besides the usual weekend race. You need to film though with Seb by Tuesday. Interviews by Thursday and a business party in the evening.. Oh wait that's on my sched only. I'm still checking when we're all free to hangout with the boys" I said as I was scrolling through my tablet.
"I think Lando said he's free on Wednesday. I'll have to check with Pierre"
"George says he's good for wednesday but he'll be late"
"Pierre says okay too"
"That's great which room though?" I asked
"I think it's good to hang out on Mclaren's floor? They're more... open?" Charles says.
"Yeahhh. I'll ask Lando then"

Charles was still eating but I can't help to look at his lips. As sauce drip on his lip and as he licks it off. Oh god. Why is it so hot here.

"Lily?" He suddenly speaks up and stops my trail of thoughts.
"Ah.. yeah yeah what were you asking?" I looked down on my food.
"I said if there's anything on my face. You were looking at me" Charles let out a laugh noticing how dazed I was
"Ohh.. nothing I was just dozing off" I lied.
It felt like I was lusting over his lips but why.

What is this feeling. It's so weird. Gosh.

"I'm quite tired from all the walking today" I tried excusing myself as it was dangerous having these thoughts "You can rest here, ma chère" Charles says as he cleans up the table. "I can't..."
