Monza Saturday

Kate looks on the big screen in the garage. The pitcrew were shaking and she looks at the traffic on track. It's busy and Ferrari is warning their first car Sebastian Vettel. Charles already cleared pole but no one on track could get another lap. Some drivers are cursing over the radios and Kate left with Andre to the interview podium.

They talked while walking over there. Kate struggles to get past the Mercedes and Ferrari crew. She stood against the fence and Charles showed up with the sf90. The engine scared Her a bit when Charles down shifted. Charles stops the car and climbed out of it. Kate stares with pride. Whole Ferrari is yelling and cheering for him. Charles walked up to her and his team. He start hugging his engineers. Charles paused when he saw her.

'Did you see that lap?' He asks cutely. 'Yes Charles you did amazing.' Kate looks into his blue eyes. A photographer interrupted her and Charles. 'I'm sorry a fast picture.' Charles winks at Kate. 'See you at the garage.' Charles nodded and walked away, he gave Valteri a fist.

Sunday

Kate walks over the paddock with Charles by her side in his race suit. It's almost race time and she feels that Charles' nervous. She totally get it's. This is Ferrari's home race and a win would be amazing for Ferrari history and tifosi. Kate got some private messages from her f1 spa friends about Charles who received pole. They said that they're supporting him.

A journalist walked up to Charles but his press officer stopped the journalist. Kate stares at the two. Charles pulled Kate away by her arm. Ok we're running. Kate didn't resist and followed Charles to a quieter spot. They hid behind the redbull Racing motorhome. Kate didn't see anyone and Charles looks at her. 'I just needed sometime with just you.' He mumbles. 'You're so cute.' Kate tells him. He grins and pulled Kate into his arms.

'You know, I need some luck during the race.' He whispers in my ear. 'Is that so, Mr. Leclerc?' Kate says playfully. 'I like that you say Mr. Leclerc. But Within 15 minutes I won't have time to kiss you.' Charles whispers again. Charles carefully presses her against the redbull motorhome. Kate let him kiss her and she melted by his touch. Charles pauses. 'Let's hope no one is taking a picture of us.' He mutters. 'Let's hope but who cares. Everyone knows we are dating.' Kate says and Charles laughs.

Charles looks at his watch. 'Got to go.' He says looking from his watch to Kate. 'Go get that victory! Do it for your fans, team and family.' Kate told him. 'You look baddas in red.' Charles smirks while saying that. 'You look damn cute in your race suit.' Kate smiles.

'I'll waist here, so it's not suspicious.' Kate tells Charles. 'Sure.' Kate pulls him in for a hug and a kiss on his cheek. Charles left her and he looked over his shoulder and winked at Kate. Kate rest against the redbull motorhome in love. She sat on her phone for a while and she puts it back in her pocket.

Kate walks back to the Ferrari garage but someone caught her attention. 'Kate?' It's Max. She looks at the man in dark blue. 'Don't you have to prepare.' She asks him. Max Verstappen the Dutch guy stared at her. 'Yes but I needed to talk to you.' He mumbles. 'I saw you kissing Charles, I just want to tell you to stop with him.'

'How so Max?'
'Because I love you! I can't stand it.' Max didn't sound pissed just like an idiot. Kate gasps for air. 'Listen Max, you"re a cute guy but Charles is just the right one.' Kate tried to stay calm. 'I get... I get it but I don't want to sound like an idiot.' Kate looks at him angry. 'Max you're and I don't want to hurt your feeling but I really love Charles.'

Max nodded. 'Good luck, Max.' She adds. 'Yea thank you, Kate.' Max Verstappen walks away from her, Kate felt bad for him. Luckily Max understood it.
