never fall for brown eyes // Pedri

chapter 13

"Are you still awake or did you pass out chiqui?" the hottie asks me and my eyes fly open. I did not just forget that he was sitting right next to me. I also realise that my head is not spinning anymore and my blood is not rushing in my ears.

"Yes sorry, I mean yes I am awake and feeling much better, gracias" I ramble on.

He just gives me one of his breathtaking lazy smiles and I already know that I will have dreams about him for the rest of my life.

For a while we just stare at each other until I manage to ruin the moment by doing something that I'll probably never recover from.

I put my hand in between me and him to shake hands and say "Hi, I'm Madeline, nice to meet you". I would love to blame it on the tequila but this is just Madeline Mount making a great first impression.

Or should I say second impression, because the first one was me slamming my head on his back.

"I'm Pedri, and it's a pleasure to meet you" he laughs and instead of shaking hands he decides to give mine a little kiss. Forget Carlos Sainz, this guy right here is the ultimate smooth operator.

I give him a little laugh and ask about his night. Turns out that he and his friend are here together to have some fun before having to focus on their jobs. Sounds weird but I guess they take their jobs seriously, something I should do during this gap year before university.

"Did you know that Lando Norris is tonight's DJ?" he asks me and I give him a questioning look.

"How do you know Lando?" I wonder without thinking that of course people would know Lando. He is a famous Formula 1 driver after all.

The hottie, Pedri, keeps telling me about how he's into Formula 1 as well, but turns out we are actually each other's worst enemies.

While I am a true Ferrari girl who doesn't stop supporting them even though their car this year is basically a piece is shit, Pedri is a Redbull boy. And by Redbull I don't mean vodka redbull, one of my favourite drinks, but the Formula 1 team, Ferrari's biggest competitor.

We argue playfully about Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz, until I realise that it's been almost an hour since the last time I saw Evelynn.

"I'm so sorry, I have to go and check that my bestie is still alive. I truly enjoyed this conversation and would love nothing more but to continue it. But you know, duty calls" I say and shrug.

"Don't worry, I will find you again, the night is still young" He flashes me a smile and gives me a light kiss on the cheek that makes me blush all the way from my toes to the top of my head.

Mierda, who is this man and what is he doing to me?
