#32 Carlos - Rain and jacket

ISABELLA POV: Today is big day. Sunday for French GP. Carlos qualified 5th yesterday, so he's good start for today. I'm really proud of him... Just 7 races in new team and each race he qualifies around top ten...
-What are you thinking about?- Carlos got my attention, bringing me back to earth.
-About how talented, sweet and unique my boyfriend is...!- I replied and turned around to face him and wrap my hands around his neck. Carlos smiled timidly and looked straight into my eyes.
-The quiero lsa...
-Yo tambien, mucho- I said and kissed him softly on the lips -Are you nervous, or not?- I asked him, when we pulled back a little.
-Un pocito...- he agreed with me and added -But I have my lucky charm with me, so it should be a good race...- Carlos said and kissed me again, full of passion and love.
-I guess so!- I giggled and got a sweet kiss on my forehead in return.
-Let's go- Carlos said and then we left his motorhome, to get to the garage. In the way, the wind got pretty cold and quick, so we went there faster than we probably liked. Carlito was already in his racing suit and had warm hoodie over it, not to freeze in this chilly day. I myself, opted today for high-waisted black jeans with pockets on their sides, also in front and back, like all other trousers, Ferrari red team shirt and black sweatshirt over it, with a zipper in front and high collar. I finished the outfit with black, high heeled boots with red shoelaces, ended with a nice bow. I put my hair up, in the high ponytail and done make up - no make up, as I wanted nice, casual but sporty look, other than all the over the top styles, other woman around here go for. At first, I had my sweatshirt open, that the shirt was visible, but then, the wind got worse and I just had to keep myself more warm, than stylish.
At the garage, we greeted everyone, Carlos gave a few fistbumps or handshakes to his crew, and I opted for kind hugs. I mean, Carlito is not long in Ferrari, just few months, but we already feel here like in a huge, not blood related family, and I think is cool. Everybody knows that friendly, home-like environment is very helpful in working at your best, get nice results and be more relaxed. I have been with Carlos just around 2 years now, so I have seen him interact with McLaren team, and now with Ferrari and I can really see, how geniue he's with everybody, how he want for people around him be relaxed and happy, even when things don't go as planed... I'm really honored to be so close to that special and unique person, as my Carlito...
When I said, we treat each other like big family, I really meant that. We're always nice to each other, happy, helpful and kind... Even though I'm not directly in the team, they trust me enough, that I can be everywhere I want, with whoever I want and listen and see everything I possibly want. They trust Carlos, and he trust's me, so it's like chain of trust around here...
Then, pre-race preparations started, such as going through data collected during all three free practises and quali, warm up, interviews done under umbrella as neer the garage as posibble... I can sum it up as complete but well-managed chaos....
In all this mess, I don't know when, Brynn and Charles came to me, to say hi.
-Hi B.! How are you feeling Charlie?- I greeted them with warm smile and tight hugs.
-I'm good, Merci Iz- Charles thaked me and then disappeared for the inteviews himself after few more words, while Brynn stayed with me.
-How is it?
-How is what Brynn?- I asked back, completly lost about what she's talking.
-How is your fairy tale with senor Perfect going?- she giggled, tilting her head in Carlos' and Charles direction, as the boys were talking to Mattia next to the entrence of the garage.
-I could ask you the exact same thing B!- I chuckled, amused at her cheesyness.
-Come on...! Tell me!- she groaned like impatient child who wants candy.
-Fine. It's just perfect! Sweet, loving, safe and fun- I said and looked at Carlos with smile -He's perfect! And damn hot- at my last remark, Brynn giggled and I joined her shortly after.
-And?
-And what?!
-Don't dodge the question! I know, you know perfectly about what I'm talking right now!- I shot her stern look.
-The best as it could be! I love him dearly and I know that he loves me back just as much....- she focused her gaze at Charles with dreamy eyes, like school girl over her crush.
-I'm sure he does! Carlito told me...
-What?! How does he know?!- she almost jumped in suprise and nervousnes at the same time.
-Let's say tipsy Charlie is more open and talkative than you can imagine...!- I repiled and giggled, as she groaned in tiny bit of flustration.
-What's going on here?- Charles asked at this exact moment, when boys aproached us with smile on their faces.
-Nothing / Just girls' stuff!- we replied in unision, which made Ferrari teammates laugh. Through which Carlos wrapped his arms around me from behind and hugged me close, so I felt warm radiating from his skin.
We spent a moment to talk, just four of us, but then Charles and Carlos needed to get into their cars, as the race was starting in few minutes. Firstly I whished good luck to Charles, giving him warm hug, and then I turned to my boyfriend. Carlos for instance pulled me to himself by my waist, with boysh grin on his face.
-Good luck Carino!- I told him affectionately, and wrapped my arms around his neck to kiss him. But just when I was about to do so, strong shiver runned down my spine, making me shake lightly. And it didn't went unnoticed by my loving boyfriend....
-You're shivering Mi Amor!- he exclamed, for instance worried.
-It's chilly outside, but I'm fine!- I wanted him to think about his job, not my warmth right now...
-You're clearly not- he remarked and let go of me -Which I can't let go!- he added, and dissapeared for a moment. I locked gazes with Brynn, but neither of us knew, what the actual hell Sainz was doing....
Just when I was going to call him out, because the time was running and he couldn't be late for the race, Carlos came back with his warm, Ferrari red hoodie.
-Here, put it on- he extended his hand with smooth and fluffy fabrinc in my direction.
-Carlito...- I wined, not content with his worries about me at that moment -You need to go...
-I know Princessa, so do me a favor and put my hoodie on!- he insisted -I want to be sure that you're warm enough and not gonna be ill after this weekend...- he said with puppy like eyes.
-Bien- I agreed, took it from him and quickly put this hoodie on. When I did it, for instance I could smell Carlos' cologne on it and something else, which makes' him, HIM.
-Bien- he said contently, happines now evident on his face.
-See, I'm warm enough, now, GO! Go and fight for that next podium for me!- I told him, gave him a quick peck on the lips for good luck and then pushed him to his car, Carlos just gave me a smile and then quickly pulled balaclava and helmet on. Just when he was about to get in the car, he winked at me, which made me giggle quietly and shake my head. Then he drove off, and I stayed at the garage with Brynn.
-What was that?- she curiosly asked me.
-Just Carlito being my crazy and lovely jerk!- I replied to her and giggled again.
Brynn understood and smiled brightly at me, while I wrapped a little too big sleeves of hoodie around my hands to keep them warm and snuggled more into the warmth, which that fabric was providing me. If I'm being honest, before the moment I put it on, I didn't knew I was that cold...
Then, we focused on the race, which was about to start...
