"the race has just ended! max verstappen is in first place on the podium and charles leclerc is once again in second place, just a few seconds from the first. carlos sainz, second pilot for ferrari, is on third place. 2 drivers for Ferrari on the podium." said the reporter.
"well, thanks guys. you were amazing, as always. I love you." I said placing my headphones on the table in the box. all the boys dressed in red turned to greet me and mumble something in Italian.
I walked to the podium, to see my boyfriend carlos take his well-deserved third place award. i was very proud of him.
as I walked there I met lando."omg! hi lando!" I said approaching him. he smiled at me and we exchanged two kisses on the cheeks in greeting and. we hugged. "for a place, your boyfriend's place, I could have made it to the podium." he said faking a pout on his face. I smiled and he smiled back. "i'm joking,I'm proud of him." he said stroking my back. "yes, I'm very proud too." I replied, fixing his sweaty hair.
we talked for a while longer.
I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and found him there. all his hair untidy, sweaty, but still so attractive. I smiled at him, but he didn't do the same.
"there is the podium now, I have to get there. are you coming and see me or you stay here?" he asked looking at me from his height. "no, of course. let's go and see you." I said stroking his cheek. he took my hand and moved it. "then you have to hurry." he answered me and then left.as he left, he turned to look at me, until he disappeared.
I was very disappointed for the gesture he had done with me. he has never denied a caress.
"why isn't he happy? he is third on the podium..." he remarked. "I don't know. let's go."
lando went to his box, greeting me with a pat on the shoulder, but I went to position myself under the podium.
"in third place: carlos sainz, driver for the ferrari team." one of the ferrari team put the spanish flag on his shoulders. he kept looking straight ahead, never exchanging a glance with me.at the end of the ceremony I waited for him near his car.
I saw him arriving. "hey carlos." "mh," he murmured, looking for his car keys in his jeans pockets. "I'm so proud of you," I told him. he continued not to look at me and to search. I leaned against the driver's door. "can you move? I'd like to go home, thanks." "and you can stop looking for those damn keys and tell me what's wrong?" I told him.
he finally looked into my eyes: "what?" he asked me in an obvious tone. he chuckled and grabbed me by the hips, pulling me away from the door. "ask lando what happens, maybe he explains it to you while he is caressing you."
was he serious?
"you haven't even looked at me once because I talked to lando?" I asked him "unbelievable." I added."unbelievable? I should the one saying it.""you're jealous now?"at that question he stayed silent.
"you were cold with me today. during the podium you didn't even noticed the fact that I was there for you and not for lando. while lando and I were talking about how proud we were of you, you came there to tell me to hurry up." I paused."and what bothered me most was the fact that when I tried to hug and caress you, you didn't want to, and you walked away. that hurted me" I decided to tell him everything.
my tone was firm and decisive. I'm not that usual, but his behavior had really upset me.
"do you really think that I haven't noticed anything?" he asked, taking off his hat and smoothing out his silky, still sweaty brown hair. "I don't know what you're talking about. really carlos, I don't understand you." I said. "those caresses on the back, the kisses you exchanged, you fixing his hair... really y/n... are you serious? in front of me?" he replied, grinning. "carlos. lando is one of our dearest friends. how can you think I'm going with him?! he has a girlfriend! he's in a relationship! as am i!"
"yes, sure... anyway." he snorted with that stupid smile on his face. "i don't like this behavior carlos, you don't trust me. and all this is the proof of it. how can we be a couple if you don't trust me?" at these words of mine he finally looked at me. "I will not leave you carlos, for nothing in the world. I will always be by your side." I said approaching him, hugging him.
he exchanged the embrace, holding me tightly to him. "I trust you blindly. I'm sorry I hurted you, it was absolutely not my intention. I was blinded by jealousy at that moment." he said. "but you're the one who's taking me home now, not lando, no one else. you."
