#35 Lewis - Longing and beach trip

ANGELINA POV.: It's been almost two weeks since I stayed behind in our shared apartment in Monaco with Roscoe, while Lewis was travelling around the world, firstly to Belgium, and then to the Netherlands, for races.
Right now, I'm sitting on the couch, with Roscoe right by my side.
-What?- I looked at the dog with questioning expression on my face. Pup is lying down next to me, with his head on my thigh. Roscoe didn't respond anything, just a loud sigh.
-You miss dadds? You really miss dadds, he?- I asked him rethorical question, while I ruffled his side a little. He only barked in response, with sad look in his shiny eyes.
-I know... He's away for too long for our liking...- I agreed with him and leaned down to press a kiss to the top of his head.
And as if I summoned him by my thoughts, my phone started to ring, indicating that someone is calling me.
-Who is that? Someone is on the phone!- I looked at him excited, and then reached for it again, only to see that Lewis is calling me.
-Dadds is calling!- I smiled at the pup and answered the call:
(A- Angie, L- Lewis)
A: Hi Lew!- I smiled at him, and did a little wave, as I saw his handsome face on the screen. And my heart melted, when I saw how his face lit up, with huge grin.
L: Hello to you too Love. How's everything at home?
A: It's fine. Although, me and our buddy Roscoe, are missing you lots...- I pulled off a pout.
L: I know... I miss you lots too- he agreed, his expression softened -I wish to be already home, with you two...
A: We wish that too..- I flashed him a gentle smile and turned the camera -Say hi to Roscoe!
L: Hi buddy! What's up? What's up?!- Lew asked sweetly, as Roscoe abruptly stood up and started to bark loudly, hearing and seeing Lewis again.
A: See? We miss you lots...- I repeated and added -Congrats on your P2! I'm so proud!
L: Thanks Angel. It was a tough one...
A: I know. I saw everything...
L: You did?!
A: Don't act so surprised now Hamilton! You know that I always watch your races!- I replied with stern expression and then giggled.
L: Yeah, I know. I'm just messing around...
A: We love you Lew...
L: I love you too. Both of you- he answered with sad smile.
A: When you'll be going back home?
L: I don't know, probably tomorrow, as I'm needed in Monza by Wednesday...
A: OK. Pick you up at the airport?
L: Actually not. I think it'll be late in the night. I don't want you to wait for me and be too tired after that.
A: OK- I agreed and added -How is Val?
L: A little nervous and disappointed, but still eager to new chapter with Alfa.. I'll miss him though...
A: Yeah, me too... He's a great teammate...
L: The Best- he corrected me, and then we both chuckled.
A: Tell me more about the race... How was it?
L: OK, if you want...- he agreed, and then we talked for the next hour or so about the race. It was nice to see him so happy, in his element...
But suddenly, I heard Angela behind the camera.
AC: Who you're talking to?
L: Angie- Lewis told her, smiling widely.
AC: Greetings Ange! But I need to steal him away...- Cullen made me smile.
A: Warm hugs to you too Angela!- I shouted, and we all laughed -OK. Call me later?
L: I'll try. Love you!
A: Love you too- I replied and we blew each other a butterfly kiss. Then, the call ended, and I looked at Roscoe again -I think Dadds is coming home....- I smiled at bulldog, and ruffled him for a bit. It was nice to at least have him around, when Lewis is gone...

.....
Hours flew by before I knew it, and it was already beginning of the evening the next day. I talked with Lew over the phone in the morning, and he said that he should be back tomorrow morning, and fly to Monza next morning. I really hoped that he will..
Now, I'm sitting on the couch again, with Roscoe. It's becoming a tradition, our evenings on the couch, watching movies together... But today, we got a suprise...
In the middle of a movie, which I played on Netflix, I heard slow footsteps in the hall. But before I could react in any way, this person came to the living room, reveling themselves.
-I heard that someone here missed me?
-Lewis!- I smiled widely, and shot bold upright, to my feet -What are you doing here?! You said that you'll get back tomorrow?!- I asked him, as I closed the distance between us, and flung my arms around his neck.
-I know. But I missed you so much, that I needed to see you sooner- he replied softly, and then pressed his lips to mine in tender kiss, which I returned in no time.
After some seconds we pulled back and hug each other. Then, I let him go, and Lewis crouched down, to pet happy Roscoe.
-Hey buddy! What's up? What's up? Did you miss me? Did you miss me?- he said to him in a tone, like you talk to small baby, with grin on his face -Give me five! Give me five- he asked him then, and held his one paw in his hand for few seconds, talking to him some more.
-I know that I just got back, but wanna go out, for a walk? To the beach...?- he suggested, with hope in his eyes, as he stood up and our gazes met again.
-I would love to! Let me just change really quick!- I agreed, kissed his cheek briefly and then disappeared in the bedroom, while I heard behind me "Wanna go walkies? Wanna go... walkies at the beach?" and how excited Roscoe is. He loves dadds, that's no doubt...
After like 5 minutes I returned to my boys, ready to go. Then, Lewis put our buddy on leach and we left the apartment, hand in hand, with hands interwined.
-I'm glad that you're back... Even for so short time...- I told him, looking at him affectionately.
-I'm glad too, Love- he said and smiled.
At the beach, we let Roscoe go freely, and even threw him a freesbee couple of times, even it was getting really dark. Lewis had his arm wrapped around my shoulders and I had mine around his middle, and I leaned my head on his shoulder. We walked in silence, calling Roscoe from time to time, when he runned too far away from us, but apart from that, we didn't need words. It was just as simple as that...
In one moment, Lewis took out his phone from one of his pockets and looked at me.
-I want to record short story for Instagram...
-Go on. I'll just stay here and watch...
-OK- he agreed, kissed my cheek, and and then turned to Roscoe, letting me go.
-Roscoe! Gimme that! Come here! Gimme that freesbee!- Lewis laughed at our dog, recording if for his Ig story, and I stood in spot of light and watched them with gentle smile.
-My boys...- I chuckled and shoke my head at the sight, Lewis half-running after the dog on the beach and talking for a short record.
-All done...- he said after that, came to me and hugged me again, while he hid his phone.
-Alright- I smiled back at him and kissed his cheek lovingly -I love you Lew...
-Love you too Princess- he replied without hesitation and bowed his head a little, to kiss me lovingly for some time, and then let go just a little, to hug me close and resume our walk again.
After some more minutes on the beach, we got back to the house, and made ourselves cozy and comfy there. Lewis wasn't letting me go, and I appreciated the closure. After all, we're mostly away from one another, and miss each other dearly... So moments and days like this are the best...
THE END

One of Lewis's stories on Ig got me this idea...
I hope you like it...!
Have a nice day! / Goodnight!
