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

Chapter 28: Blooming

that morning... Lily wakes up feeling really good. Last night was great and George was right, she just needed to bone. It made a huge difference. She showers for a bit and just slipped into a robe. She noticed how different of a view Lance's room had. She went to admire it and thought.. what now? What will happen now that they actually got into one room again. She sighs and thinks.

Love might not be there but the sex will always be something she can't deny. She responds to every touch he makes and he knows how to move her the way she likes it.

Obviously, he's just a player. Heck, he even played her she thought. Then this idea came into her mind.
Work is stressful sometimes and sex soothes the mind. She doesn't need to think about love because that's freaking hard so why not just have sex and have fun?

"Shake on it then?" Lily says as they finalized their deal regarding this whole friends with benefits thing. She wasn't surprised that he accepted it honestly. It's convenient for him so he doesn't have to lie... she thought.

"Why shake hands when we can seal the deal" He says as grabs her by her neck and kisses her.
This of course leads to one quickie before the day starts.

"I'll see you on the paddocks then?" He asks as she dress up. "Uhh.. let's not interact someone might notice" she says as she puts her hair up and gets her heels. "Laters" she says as she exits his room and went to the end of the hallway.

It was definitely a walk of shame for her.

She showers and rethinks what just happened. Was she impulsive to do this. How can they even be friends with benefits if she has lingering feelings for him. Clearly, she got selfish.
She felt that maybe this is the only way to keep him around. He didn't even look for her in the past months. She thought he forgot about her already. She sighs but atleast now it's an established playtime. She thought everything will go smoothly this season until she leaves F1. "Just have to cherish every bit of it" she mutters to herself.

Charles Leclers is calling

"Yeah?"
"Ma belle! you coming with me today?" Charles asks.
"Ohh no.. I have to go with Amber. It's media day and I'm not allowed to go yet" She says as she gets out of her room and to the elevator
She sees Lance going out as well.
"Ahh yeah.. party was.." she pauses as Lance see her talking over the phone and walks beside her.
"great.. yeah uhh.. I need to go" She ends the call and Lance kisses her.
"Not in public Stroll" she says as she gently pushes him back.
"No one's here" He whispers.
"Just in private places Stroll. I'll go ahead then"

She goes to the paddocks and to the motorhome. "Good morning!" Lily chirps as Amber sits with her.
"Good morning to you too! Did you have fun last night?" Amber sips her coffee
"Hmmm yeah a bit"
"Gahd. This headache is going to kill me" Amber shares what happened to her last night and even said that one of the business partners in the party were delighted when Lily could hold up with them. She just strengthened the bond with them and the company.
"It's Practice today. You can go to the garage now. We don't have tasks that much today." Amber says rubbing her head.
"Here. I think this will help" Lily hands over a hangover drink.
"What's this?" She asks.
"Just something herb for hangover" Amber takes it.
"Tastes good huh" Amber being surprised with herb drinks. Lily chuckles.

"Lily!" Charles sees her and says he's quite hungry today. "Let me ask them then" she goes to the kitchen and greets the two chef. They know her because she has been keeping up with what Charles eats and sometimes they even let her cook. They're kind people. "Thanksssss" she says to them as she gets a tray and goes out to serve it to Charles
