LOVE AT LAST// GEORGE RUSSELL

"Dakila, come on! You're going to be late!"

Tala Villanueva shouted to her brother from near the front door, hearing the shuffling of her brothers feet in and around his bedroom.

"I can't find my phone!"

Her brother yelled back, as he frantically ran through his bedroom, throwing his belongings out of the way in the search of his phone, which he seemed to have lost.

"I'll call it." Tala spoke, now stood next to him in his bedroom.

"It's on silent." Dakila Villanueva shook his head, hearing his sisters groan of annoyance.

"Tanga!"

Tala slapped her brother around the back of his head, before glancing down to check her watch. "Leave without it, you won't make it in time if you keep looking."

Dakila sighed in defeat before nodding his head sadly, as he grabbed his keys and his bag before wrapping his arm around his sisters shoulder and leading the both of them towards the car.

As soon as they sat in the car and fastened their seat belts, Dakila's eyes widened at the sight before him.

His phone.

"You had my phone the whole time?"

Tala shrugged her shoulders nonchantly. "You took my car keys, I got payback."

Dakila released a laugh, a bright smile flooding his features as he stared at his sister. "Indeed you did."

The siblings soon arrived at their location, clambering out of the car and grabbed their bags, heading towards their friends who were waving them over.

"The Villanueva's have arrived!"

"Hey Lance, good to see you too." Tala laughed as the Canadian greeted the siblings, hugging the slighter older sibling before greeting her.

"Hey, Tally. Are you going to be our good luck charm again?" Lance Stroll smiled softly at the Filipino girl.

"You bet that I am." Tala winked at him, seeing him immediately burst in to laughter.

Dakila Villanueva was driving in Formula Three for a team called Prema Powerteam, and so naturally, his younger sister bonded with his team mates.

Lance Stroll became like a best friend to her, where the pair would almost always be seen laughing and joking around each other.

That was, until Dakila noticed his rival, and friend watching his sister in the distance.

"Russell! Get your ass over here!"

Tala frowned in confusion as she looked at her brother with a questioning look.

Why was his rival George Russell on his way over to them, from his invitation?

"Hey, Dak." George smiled at his friend and current rival, giving the boy a pat on the back and a hug.

"Meet my sister, Tala."

Tala turned to face the Russell boy at the sound of her name and found him smiling at her, his hand outstretched towards her.

"I'm George."

"I'm Tala, the better sibling."

George chuckled at her choice of words for an introduction, and out the corner of his eye, he noticed the confused look that her brother was giving her.
