End Of Summer ~ Mick Schumacher

Ocean-blue eyes

"Hm? Oh, yeah. Just a moment." With my back facing him, I took off the beach dress and put it on my sunbed. As I turned around, I caught him watching me.

"So, you really have a tattoo."

His comment and the way he stood there, crossed arms and with his ocean blue eyes fixed at me flustered me. You could feel how something changed between us but none of us wanted to say anything. We stood there, staring at each other, battling who's going to look away first until we heard somebody approaching us. It was a father with a little kid. Probably his son.

"Uhm, sorry. We don't want to bother you, but do you mind taking a picture with my son?" He looked at us both. I didn't even notice, that I wasn't blinking for the whole minute.

"Sure, come here little buddy." Mick smiled brightly and called him over. We put on some clothes. It's not appropriate else. After the photo, the little boy had the courage to ask us both for an autograph. I signed his T-Shirt first, then handed the pen to Mick.

"Who is your favorite driver?" I asked him while Mick signed his T-Shirt.

"You two!" He smiled brightly, showing us his teeth. He was missing one tooth, which made him look even cuter.

"Oh, thank you! What's your name?" Mick handed him the T-Shirt and the pen.

"Oliver!"

"Well, Oliver you have an amazing taste. I'll dedicate this race to you." I came next to Mick, crossing my arms.

"I will too. Hopefully, we'll see you there on Sunday!" I winked at him and he grinned at us both happily.

As we said bye to him and his dad we looked at each other.

"I'll win."

"I'll win."

We said it at the same time. I scoffed and removed the beach dress. "Good luck trying." Then I walked over to the pool. As I got into water I felt him behind me. The water was warm. And there were not many people in it. I leaned against the poolside with the view to outside and rested my head on my arms. I looked back and stood up straight as I saw him, entering the pool.

He came slowly closer, going through his blonde hair. When he stood right behind me, I felt how warm his body was, even without him touching me. I got goosebumps all over my body. It's not that he's making me nervous or something. It's just the water probably.

"I'm going to touch you now." He whispered that in my ear, so only I could hear that. When he whispers, his voice is deeper than usual. The next thing what I knew was his hands softly and carefully sliding down my arms until he found his way to my hips hugging me from behind. He was well-built and I felt how strong his arms were.

As a person who is usually cold, I defintely felt warm now. I put my hands over his which were around my stomach. He leaned even closer to me, again whispering. "Are you okay with this?"

I nodded and turned my head a bit to him and noticed how close we actually were. Maybe like one hand apart. His gaze was hallucinating. At one point I noticed how his eyes went down. But just for one slight second.

"Uhm, maybe we should go swim for a round for people to notice us." I had to clear my throat before I could say anything. This was completely new to me. I'm usually the one who's intimidating others. Why am I feeling like that then?

He nodded, removing his hands slowly and I felt how cold it was without him holding me. The water didn't help much. I turned around, facing him now and he offered me his hands. So, I put mine in his and he walked backward, not daring to look away. His eyes were only focused on me. Then, we looked around.
