F1 One Shots

#52 Carlos - I miss you

ISABELLA POV.: I rolled to my side in bed, as I held my phone in one hand, in front of me. I just got out of the shower and changed into pj's, before I curled myself in warm blankets, to go to sleep. But before that, I wanted to do just one more thing, which was calling Carlos, my boyfriend. To do so, I opened the FaceTime app and dialed his number, in hopes that he's already in his hotel room and would be ready to pick up.
Carlito is currently in Mexico for another race weekend, which I, sadly, couldn't attend with him. It's all because of my work...
Of course socials and Carlos himself kept me updated every single day, and I must admit that he looks hella hot in those red overalls...!
I called him a couple of times, before he actually picked up, after like 6th time of trying,
-Ola Hermosa!- firstly I heard his deep voice, and then vision connected with sound and I could see him, all smiley, but little tired. Nothing unusuall, as he's working whole weekend...
-Ola Cariño!- I smiled happily, as slight blush covered my cheeks. Carlos was already out of shower, with chest bare, hair wet and towel drapped around neck.
-How are you feeling? Not too tired after Quali?- I asked him, as I ploped onto my stomach, supporting my phone with a wall.
-Not really actually. It was good, finally some good result with P6... And have our hopes high for tomorrow- he replied honestly and I hummed in responce.
-That's good. Never try to give up, remember?
-I know- he said and rubbed his eyes briefly. By that, I could clearly see that sleep is catching up to him.
-I miss you...- we whined at the same time, which made us giggle, as Carlos also ploped onto the bed, and rustled his drying hair a bit.
-And you? What have you been up to, today?- he asked, not wanting to go to sleep just yet.
-In the office for a bit, done some more interviews...- this was my time to sigh.
-Just one more month Amor, and then we have winterbreak all to ourselves!- Carlos tried to lift up my spirits.
-I know... I'm just really tired...- I replied and mustered a weak smile -And by the way, let's say, I borrowed, one of your Ferraris...
-Good. I told you to do that already too long ago. Glad you finally did it- he admited, and then silence descended uppon us, as we smiled at each other.
-You know what?
-No, until you tell me- I replied, and made him laugh.
-By every second I feel more tired, and my bed feels so empty without you here...- he whined, and I melted in puddle because of his words.
-Don't say that...
-Why? I say whole truth?
-I know. Just don't say such a things before bed time ok? Not when I know that I won't see you in at least 2 more days...- I said, feeling slightly emocional. Truth is, I hate being away from him for so long...
-Te quiero Amor...- he replied affectionately and blew me a kiss, so I acted like I caught it.
-Yo también, te quiero- I told him and added -Go to sleep, I see you're tired. Besides, you need a lot of strenght for a race tomorrow.. And I see you in Monday evening...
-I don't want to go to sleep yet!- Carlos protested, as he rolled onto his stomach, and made me laugh, because of loud yawn which escaped his lips soon after that -And speaking about the race, will you be watching it?
-Of course! Nothing on earth will make me miss it- I promised, and again melted in place, as my eyes locked with his chocolate ones -And seriously, you need to sleep now Cariño! I want to see you score some points tomorrow!- my remark made him smile.
-Don't worry, I'll- he promised and added, finally giving in -Sleep well Princessa.
-You too- I nodded, we waved at each other, and then ended the call with loud sigh. I really miss him...!

....
Those 2 days went by like a flash, and before I knew it, it was already Monday evening, and Carlos would be home any minute. Even though it's already very late in the night, I couldn't bring myself to sleep. In that case, I just lyed in bed under the covers, listening to the sounds outside.
Before I knew it, I heard more than familiar roar of the engine nearing, then a loud thud of the doors, and minutes later keys fumbled in the locks. After that, Carlos locked us again in our home, and came upstairs, to our shared bedroom, leaving his bags in the hallway before that. I heard very well what he's doing, cleaning his hands, taking of his coat and shoes, and then the rest of the clothes when he quietly came to our room. But I didn't move until the mattres beside me sunk in, indicateing that Carlos finally layed down, beside me.
-Ola...
-Ola Corazón...- I mumbled, as he wrapped me in tight hug, which I returned, snuggling closer to him -Welcome back...
-Home, sweet home...- he breathed in, as I felt him kissing the top of my head couple of times. Then, we made ourselves comfortable, to fall asleep in each others warm embrace. And I could've sworn that sleeping in his arms was A LOT more better...
THE END

Another sweet one...
Have a nice day! / Goodnight!
