She didn't know what's going to happen but she wanted to see him.
Even just a glimpse of this precious moment.
And she did. She heard cheers and congrats.
He was smiling so brightly with his team.
But she couldn't go any further.
She was wearing that Ferrari red shirt. So easy to see and yet there she was waiting cautiously outside.
She smiles, guess this is the price she paid for when she signed with Ferrari.
On her way back, she receives a text.
Lance: I did it babe! I did it!
Lily: Congrats babe! P3 wow! You did very well!
Lance: where are you? Can I see you?
Lily: I'm back at the hospitality you know, car crash. 😕
Lance: oh yeah.. is he okay?
Lily: Yes. Go now. You should be up in that stage soon 😘
Lance: Thanks babe. I love you.
Lily: I love you too.Lily happily sighs. "Here so early?" Charles asked.
"Yeah.. all those celebrations with his team.. you know" Lily smiles a bit and fixes their stuff"Can you drive me to the nearest mall? I want to buy a cake and maybe a little gift too" she asks Charles and he agrees.
They have around 2 hours before Lance would probably get back to his hotel. Charles quietly stood beside Lily as she picks a cute little cake and then she walks by a jewelry store. She goes in and takes a look around.
"How can I help you today?" This lovely young lady was ready to assist Lily as she browses through.
"I'm looking for a gift.. for my uhh.. boyfriend" Lily got shy all of a sudden.
The lady softly chuckles "for him?" she says looking at Charles outside. Looking at her. She chuckles and shakes her head. "No.. ahh.. that's my friend"
"Oh.. sorry.. so what were you thinking of getting?"
"Uhhm.. i was thinking of a bracelet?"
"We have it from thin to thick bands"
"Uhm.. is there anything there that we can engrave on it?"
"Ofcourse. We can do it on anything that has a simple banding"
"Okay I'll go for this one then" Lily smiles and points onto the glass which she wanted. She didn't know if Lance would wear it but she was happy to be able to give something to him."I'm done now" Lily taps on Charles' shoulder
"Do you want to change before I drive to their hotel?"
"Hmm yeah sure let me just get something from here"It seemed like a normal run to the mall with Lily but ofcourse, Charles waited knowing Lily was buying cake for Lance, buying a gift for Lance and Lily buying a dress for Lance. It stung but slowly he started to smile still.. the bittersweet feelings that every person who falls in love encounter.
"Does this look good enough?" Lily asks Charles as she looks in the mirror.
"You look really good ma belle" he coughs as he looks away
"Really? You don't seem to like it tho?" Lily got hesitant.
"No really it's great. You. Look great." He says as he smiles and puts his hands on his pockets with his shoulders up.
"Okay... if you say soo" Lily surrenders and goes back to the dressing room.
"Call me so I can pick you up yeah?" Charles says as Lily unbuckles her seatbelt. "Yes and Charles... Thank you.. really" Lily smiles again, gets the cake and got out.On her way, she sees Checo. He waves hi and greets her. "Ahh you here to celebrate?" He asks
"Do you know where his room is? I want to surprise him"
"Ahh yes the one at the end of the hall"
"Thank youuu"
"Good luck"Lily puts down the cake so she can light up the candle but she hears someone arguing. She ignores it and gets the cake again. She realizes the door was open so she slowly pushes it.
As she walk inside, slowly the arguing got louder.
Her heart was beating so fast that it made her deaf.
No. She didn't want to believe what she's feeling in her guts.From the man and the woman's shoes, her eyes slowly went up to their faces.
Lance freezes and sees her. The girl stops as well.
"I.. I didn't know you had company" Lily says nervously
"No Lily let me explain"
"Is she..." Lily wanted to defy every bit of feeling she had and yet she still asked.
"Is she... pregnant?" She stops the question wanting to believe it was all just a big misunderstanding
"Yes! And Lance is the father!" the girl says.
"What" Trying hard not to ventilate, she couldn't comprehend the girl's answer.
"I said I'm pregnant and he's the father!" The girl annoyingly says.The candle was already blown away.
Lily's hands and feet were turning really cold.
What was happening she couldn't understand.
She drops the cake and her gift."Lily.. let me explain please" Lance says walking towards her but she steps back.
"No.. I uh.. uhm.. I need to go"
"No Lily please! You're always like this"
Lance says as he grabs her wrist.
He looks at her and she does so fiercely too.It was always easier to escape. Easier to runaway.
