Esteban Ocon - I am watching you

"What is bothering you, pretty?" Someone asked you. You looked up at the person who was talking to you, it was Esteban. You rolled your eyes at him, why did he feel like interrupting you every single time?! Yesterday he did it too, you were talking to someone when he "accidentally" bumped into you. At first, you thought it was an accident but the way he was laughing at Fernando afterward made you believe it was on purpose.

Esteban and you didn't like each other because of, uh yeah why? You didn't know why, you just didn't like each other. It was kind of an unwritten rule, everyone in the paddock knew about it. "I don't want to bother you with it." You said and took a sip of your drink. "I didn't ask because I would think you would bother me with it," Esteban said and winked at you. Before you could say anything else he walked away. Esteban caught your eye a few more times that evening but he didn't say anything else to you.

"Esteban, wait up." You said, running after him when he was leaving the club. He turned around, giving you a big smile. "Hello, y/n." "How did you know something was off?" You asked him. "Well you didn't look like yourself, you looked sad and you were digging your nails in the palm of your hand. One of the things you do when you feel uncomfortable." You were mind blown by Esteban's words, how did he know? "Tell me I am wrong." Esteban said challenging "I- I can't, how do you know?" "Because I am watching you." Immediately after what Esteban said, he face palmed himself. "That sounded a bit creepy." He admitted. "A bit is an understatement." You both laughed.

"Do you want to walk back to the hotel together? Or do you want to take a cab?" Esteban asked you. The hotel wasn't that far away and weird enough you felt comfortable with Esteban by your side. "Walking is fine by me." You walked in silence next to each other. "Still don't want to talk about what was bothering you?" Esteban asked. He bumped your shoulder softly with his shoulder. "I will tell you if you tell me what you meant by watching you." "Ok. Deal, but you go first." You sighed deeply but started to talk. "I kind of was seeing a guy and three weeks ago he texted me that he didn't want to date me anymore because he wasn't ready to take it to the next level. Not that I ever asked or had the intention to get in a relationship with him but anyways, he just posted a picture on his Instagram story of a girl with the text wifey so that kind of hurts." "Ah y/n, that really sucks. I am sorry for you but it is his loss." He squeezed your shoulder. "But I have the best remedy for a broken heart." Esteban said and he stopped walking, he pointed at the sign of a cafeteria. "Do you want some ice cream?" He asked polity. You liked this version of Esteban, kind and caring. Was he always like this? You thought about a reason why you didn't like him but couldn't come up with any. "Yes, I would love to." Esteban convinced you to take his favorite ice cream flavors and after tasting both of them you were not mad at him for making you choose them.

You took place on a bench outside and looked up at the sky, it was a beautiful starry night. You should watch the stars more often, just like you did when you were younger. "Now it is your turn to talk, Ocon." Esteban almost choked on his ice cream and turned red immediately. "Well, what I meant earlier by watching you is that I notice you, y/n." "And what is that supposed to mean?" You asked him confused. He sighed deeply. "It means that I look at you when you're around. You have this catchy factor hanging around you so whenever you walk by I have the urge to look at you." Was Esteban honest? Or just making things up?

"Oh, and another thing you do is rub your fingers over each other when you're nervous. Or roll your eyes and look away when someone compliments you." For the second time this night, you didn't know what to say. "I don't know what to say." You stammered. "I mean it's very true what you say but I didn't know someone would ever notice it." "It's because I am watching you." You squeezed your eyes shut and couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Whenever we are around other people you can't say things like that, Esteban. People will think you are a stalker!" You laughed and pushed his shoulder gently. "Who says I am not?" You both laughed at the same time now.
