I can't .

POV y/n:

When I wake up the next morning I have quite a hangover, when I look on my nightstand there is some aspirin and a glass of water with a piece of paper next to it that says "Take these, you will need them." Yesterday was fun. I hope to see you more often. I grab the aspirin and take it with a sip of water. I get out of bed to go shower when I walk past the mirror I see that I am still wearing my clothes from yesterday, honestly I don't remember the end of the evening that well. I know for sure it was fun. I am just getting dressed when someone knocks on my door, when I open it Lewis is standing in the hallway. "Had fun yesterday or did you miss your date?" "It sure was fun, I just don't remember the end of the night." Lewis laughs. "Hangover?" "Kind of yes. By the way, did we have plans today?" "No, but I wanted to come by and see how you were doing and how your date went." "It was fun let me put it at that." Lewis smiles a little uncomfortably. "Do you feel like having lunch together?" He asks. "Sure, I'll just grab my stuff and then we can go, I'm pretty hungry, haven't eaten yet after last night." When I'm ready to go we walk together to the elevator.

POV Carlos:

Together with Charles we walk past the Mercedes pit boxes, quickly I cast a glance inside and see her standing next to Toto, for a moment I stay to look at them, the thoughts I had a few weeks ago come to me again now, the similarities with Toto are obvious, I start to wonder why she never wants to tell me her last name either. "Carlos are you coming mate?" I walk on again. "Why do you always stare inside when we walk past the Mercedes pit boxes?" "Remember that girl I had seen at the club a few weeks back?" "Lewis's friend? Yeah I remember her, what about that?" "I went on a date with her a few weeks ago." "And you didn't tell me that!" "That's not the point now." "Then what is your point?" "She never tells me her last name." "So?" "She has quite a few similarities to Toto, I think she's his daughter and that's why she won't tell me her last name." Charles is silent for a moment. "I think you are wrong Carlos." "I think I might be right though." 

I try to keep my mind on training, but every time I pass Lewis or George I have to think of her. I am glad when I can get out of my car again, without thinking about it I walk towards Lewis' pit box. "Hey Carlos, I think you're in the wrong place." It is Lewis who addresses me as I try to walk further inside. "Where is y/n?" I ask him as my eyes explore the area. "Why?" "I need to ask her something." "I don't think this is the right time to ask her out again." Lewis' words sound fierce, but that doesn't bother me. I try to explain to Lewis that this is not the case and that I just want to talk to her. "Carlos I believe you are in the wrong pit box." I look away from Lewis and see Toto walking up. "I know but I was looking for y/n." "My daughter? What do you want from her?" Exactly as I thought earlier y/n is his daugther, then. I see Lewis' look change and he holds his hand in front of his mouth. Toto looks at me expectantly and I look to Lewis for support, but of course I can forget about that. "It's nothing, I have to go." Quickly I turn around, with an accelerated stride I walk back to my own pit boxes and immediately look for Charles. I don't really know how to feel about this, I really like y/n but I don't understand why she wanted to keep it a secret all this time that she is Toto's daughter. Lewis could have also told me that night I went on a date with her and I was in the elevator with him, only now I also understand that he knew she probably wouldn't arrive on time. I also still have the idea that he secretly likes her too, but then don't really understand why he asked me to give her another chance afterwards if she didn't show up on time. My mind is racing. When I arrive at Charles' dressing room I walk in without knocking. "Wow Carlos, ever heard of knocking?" Says Charles as he pulls his shirt over his head. "You know what?" I say agitated. "What?" "She is Toto's daughter though!" "And how did you found out?" "I went to Lewis' pit box to look for her. While I was talking to Lewis, Toto came running up who of course asked me what I was doing there. So I told him I was looking for y/n." I let out a silence for a moment. "Go on?" "Then he said my daughter? What do you want from her?" Charles looks at me in disbelief. " And now?" "I don't know Charles." "But you like her don't you?" "Yes I do, only why keep a secret like that?" "Maybe because she was afraid you wouldn't want to talk to her anymore if you knew? I mean we are talking about Toto here."

POV y/n:

I'm on my way to Lewis' changing room when I run into my dad in the hallways. "Y/n can I talk to you for a minute?" Unsuspecting, I walk with him to his office. "What's going on dad?" When I look at him I can see he is agitated about something. "Tell me why just a few minutes ago I had Carlos here in Lewis' pit box who was looking for you?" Feeling like a brick landed on my stomach, I search for the right words as I feel my father's angry gaze burning on me. "I wouldn't know." I lie to him. "Don't lie to me! Why was he looking for you?" "I really wouldn't know!" "I don't want you to talk to him too much! Who knows what you'll tell him. I'd rather you stay near Lewis or George." "Dad I'm 27, I think I can best decide for myself who I talk to!" "There's no discussion here y/n, for once do what I ask of you! I don't want to see Carlos anywhere near our pit boxes anymore, am I clear?" "Whatever!" I say angrily and turn to walk away. "Y/n, please." "I heard you dad, don't worry about it." Angry, I walk out of his office and start looking for Lewis.
