The Norris Twins

Twenty Three

It's early Tuesdays morning around 8 am I woke up to an empty bed and to find a note from George on the pillow next to me. The note says

My beautiful AJ, I had to leave for Monaco early this morning because my flight to Nice is at 7 am, but I just wanted to say, enjoy your time relaxing whilst I'm away. I love you so much and I'll see you in a few days.....

Love you always

Georgie

Little did he know, I was heading to Monaco to surprise him. Yes, I'm going against the doctor's order but I couldn't miss out on one of my most favourite races of the season. A couple of days before George left, I called Zak to see if he could get me a pass for this weekend and he did. I know Lando and George are going to be disappointed with me but I honestly don't care. My mum, dad and siblings know what I'm doing because they know that ever since I've been racing internationally, I've never missed the Monaco Grand Prix. Let's just hope that I don't get my head ripped off by my brother and boyfriend.

I'm packing my suitcase with a couple of McLaren tops and hoodies and a couple of Williams tops and hoodies and some of my HiTech team wear. I also packed some nice summery denim outfits, along with some dresses, shorts and t-shirts, sandals and heels. I knew George flew out of Luton with the team down to Nice, so I booked the next flight to Nice which was only 5 hours after his one. Once everything was packed, I zipped my case up and wheeled it to the front door. I had to double-check my rucksack to make sure that I had my passport, boarding pass, sunglasses and hat. The sunglasses and the hat are for me to wear so that I don't get noticed in the airport or on the plane. The only time I'm taking them off is when staff need to see my face, especially at passport control.

I've checked all my bags, put them in the boot of White Ford Fiesta, I got in the car and made my way down to London Luton Airport. The journey to Luton is about just over an hour but I've booked a car park space in the long stay car park. The exact same car park George is parked in. When I'm travelling to races I normally fly from Heathrow with Lando, but because I've been in Oxford for the past week or so, I found it easier to fly from Luton.

Once I arrived at the long stay car park, I show the male attendant my details and he opens the barrier to let me through. I go and park on the third floor and I see a space right next to George's Grey Mercedes AMG and park in it. I decided to take a selfie next to the car and show George when I see him on Sunday. But as I am heading towards the terminal my phone rings and it's George.

AJ: Hello

George: Hey beautiful, just letting you know that I've got to the hotel in Monaco and I'm just calling to see if you resting as the doctor ordered?

AJ: Yeah, I've just gone for a walk babe, needed some fresh

*the sounds of planes taking off echo down the phone*

George: Babe, why can I hear planes in the background? Are you flying down for the race when you should be resting?

*I froze in my spot thinking, shit! He's going to catch me out*

AJ: Of course I'm not flying out for the race babe. It's just some planes flying low overhead. I'm resting like I've been told *well that's utter bullshit*

George: Okay babe I believe you. Just rest okay, you can use my sim to keep yourself entertained until I'm back. I've got to go, I've got a meeting with Alexi and Jost

AJ: That's fine! I love you

George: I love you too, bye

George hangs up the phone and thinks something sounds odd about what AJ has said, and will go and talk to Lando about it after his meeting.
