Call you mine - Charles Leclerc

Chapter 3

March 20, 2022

The weekend had flown by. Ellie spent Friday mostly at Mercedes with her dad, Lewis and George. Out of Toto's three children there was no doubt who was most like him, and she had always been a daddy's girl. She was determined, headstrong and ambitious, but she was also compassionate and brave. She was a complex person, she loved to explore and take opportunities that arouse, always planning for everything. Her dad loved seeing how much she alike him she was.

Saturday she joined the group around the paddock, meeting most of the drivers that she had met, just knew of or had just met in passing. Everyone was very welcoming and she could see how easily Emma, Anna and her brother fit in there, having spent much more time getting involved in this world than she ever imagined doing herself. She now found herself regretting not showing a bigger interest seeing how much fun the other were having.

It was now Sunday and Ellie, Declan, Emma, Anna and Mason were at the hospitality watching the race.

After the race ended the group walked up to the podium stage to see the drivers get their trophies. She quickly captured the eyes of a certain green eyed man, and that didn't go unnoticed by her best friend who was standing beside him. While watching the Ferrari dream get a 1-2 podium with Lewis on third Ellie felt Emma taking her hand dragging her away from the ceremony, breaking her out of the intense eye contact she was having with Charles.

"What are you doing?" Confusion written all over Ellie's face as she asked her best friend where she was leading her.

"Before Sebastian you were the biggest flirt I knew. You thrived on it, never missing an opportunity to have a little male attention and you never wanted a relationship. I'm just showing you that you can be that girl again. You don't need to sleep with anyone or find someone new. You just need to start moving on, and getting the attention you deserve. Starting with introducing you to one of the guys I've been seeing, and his VERY handsome friend." Emma said laughing at her friend who just looked horrified with her answer.

"What in gods name are you talking about?" Ellie stopped dead in her tracks.

"Just for once, trust me and follow my lead okey?" Ellie hesitantly joined behind her friend before stopping in front of the Ferrari garage and in front of it there were two guys Ellie recognized immediately.

Slowing down their pace just before reaching the guys they good see them waving. "Oh my god, you dating one of the boys from Emily in Paris?!" Ellie managed to silently scream out. She LOVED the show and was absolutely starstruck at the two actors. Emma just gave her a smirk before going to give Lucien Laviscount, who played Alfie, Ellie's favorite character, a hug. After hugging Lucien she gave Lucas Bravo, who played Gabriel the other lead in the show a more intimate hug and kissed his cheek.

"Guys, this is my best friend Éléanor. Ellie this is Lucien and Lucas, but you already knew that." Emma said smirking at her best friend, knowing she just outed her for being a fan.

"Nice to meet you, Em talks ALOT about you." Lucas said taking her hand and giving her a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you as well! All good things I hope?" Ellie asked trying to seem a little more confident then she felt.

"Not even a little bit babe" Emma said laughing.

"Don't listen to her, she talks very highly of you. I'm Lucien, and it's a pleasure to finally meet you" he said locking eyes with the brunette, taking her hand before kissing it. There was no denying the flirting he was doing, and it was obviously Emma had said something about her being a fan of his because of the huge grin she was standing with behind Lucien.

"Pleasure is all yours." Ellie said, taken aback by her own newfound confidence. Before this was second nature for her, now, not so much. "Your Ferrari fans I take it?" She asked motioning to the Ferrari passes and the fact they were standing outside the garage.
