I can't .

POV Carlos:

"Charles, who is that girl?" I asked him hoping he would recognize her. "what girl?" "The girl who is with Lewis?" I see Charles looking for Lewis, his eyes then fall on the girl I mean and I see him looking at her. "I don't know mate, never seen her before, why do you ask?" I never told Charles that I broke up with Isa a few months ago or rather that she broke up with me. "No big deal, I'm just asking," I say defensively, not feeling the need to talk to Charles about my breakup. We are in a club in the center of Monaco after the race weekend and I swear I had seen this girl before, maybe in the Mercedes garage, she looks a little like the team boss Toto Wolff, but that could also be in my mind, still she catches my eye. I have been watching her all evening, paying attention to everything she does and who she is with. She looks so familiar but I can't place her, the whole evening she was in my mind. At the end of the evening I got back to my hotel room and started searching among Lewis' followers on Instagram, he must know who she is, or rather I must know who she is. With my mobile in my hands I fell asleep the moment I finally found her.

POV y/n: 

"Lewis who is the is that guy who keeps staring at me?" I see Lewis he eyes searching the room. "That is Carlos, he drives with Ferrari." You nod and look back at him. "I wouldn't worry too much y/n." Says Lewis when he sees you looking at him again. "I don't, but It really brothers me that he looks at me like that, I don't want any problems with my father, no one here knows that I am Toto's daughter and I would like to keep it that way." "If you want we can go?" Lewis wraps his arm protectively around my waist. "Yes I think that would be better." Together with Lewis I walk to the cabs's and he gave me his coat against the cold. "If you want to stay then you should, Lewis, I'll be fine." "Are you sure? I don't want anything to happen to you on the way." i smile at him. "Don't worry about me, you stay here." The cab arrives at that moment and I get in. I tell the driver where I want to go and say goodbye to Lewis. Back at the hotel I change my clothes and go to bed, thoughts of Carlos keep running through my head, I decide to look him up online before I fall asleep. 

When I leave my hotel room the next morning I meet Carlos in the hallway. "Hey didn't I see you with Lewis in the club yesterday?" he asks. "That could be right." I say while trying to avoid eye contact. "I don't have much time to talk, I have to catch my plane." I add. "No problem, my name is Carlos by the way." "I know who you are, but I really have to go now." Without another word I walk to the elevator, fortunately the doors open immediately and I get in, when I turn around I see Carlos still looking at me and we finally make eye contact. His dark brown eyes hold my attention for a moment, fortunately the elevator doors close. I shake my head as I sigh, his eyes had something magical up close. There is not much time to think about it when the elevator arrives downstairs and you see Lewis waiting for you at the reception. "You'll never guess who I just ran into?" I say to Lewis as we walk to his car. "Let me guess. I think Carlos?" "You can't guess anymore, you're always way too good at this." "Don't let your father hear it." "I think it's better not to, no. Carlos introduced himself to me, but I told him I was in a hurry, that I had to catch my plane." Lewis laughs. "Your flight yes and he believed that?" Now I'm laughing myself and  I shake me head no. We both laugh as we get into his car. Me and Lewis have a very good relationship and it is not for nothing that I became his track engineer this year. The bond between me and my dad isn't what it used to be after their loss in Abu Dhabi last year, I've seen him and the team fade away a bit,  I didn't speak to Lewis for months after that. I've known Lewis since he first came racing in Formula 1, at first I wasn't sure what to think of him but over the years he's become my best friend, I share almost everything with him . I am therefore surprised that Carlos has never noticed me before as I can often be found somewhere  near or with Lewis or have been walking around the circuit or can be found in the Mercedes pit boxes. It doesn't matter that much either.

POV Carlos: 

I thought I had found her on social media but the girl I had found this morning didn't even look like the girl I had seen standing with Lewis last night. Disappointed I am on my way to my car when I suddenly bump into her in the hallway, she seems to be in a hurry, still I make an effort to introduce myself. She says that she knows who I am and I see that she is trying to avoid eye contact, without me being able to answer her any further she has walked on to the elevator, I keep watching and before the doors close I do make eye contact with her. She looks so familiar but I can't place her. I wonder where she is going and if I will see her again.
