End Of Summer ~ Mick Schumacher

Accident

Delancy POV:

"You don't know how long I waited for this." 

That's the only thing that was in my mind. I washed my face with cold water again. I didn't care about the make up. 

Just a few minutes ago, Mick kissed me in front of everyone after we danced. My heart was racing like crazy and I couldn't calm myself down. What is this? Why am I reacting this way? 

No worries, I didn't run off and leave him alone there. After we made our way back to the table, I excused myself that I had to go to the restroom. So, here I am. Freaking out. 

I stared at myself through the mirror. "What the hell was that..."

My fingers gently touched my lips where I still felt his touch. He has the softest lips ever. His touch was so gentle and trusting. For a moment I closed my eyes and let the situation play again in my head. 

I opened my eyes when the door of the restroom opened up. It was Minttu. 

"There you are! Are you alright?" 

I fixed my hair and looked at her. "Oh, I'm okay. All fine." 

She walked up to me and took a look at me. "Doesn't look like it to me. Is it because Mick kissed you?" 

Oh god, again the picture playing in my head. 

"No. Maybe. Okay fine, yeah. It's because of him." 

She let out a laugh. "Oh, wow. Delancy. This one kiss took you out?" 

"It was the first kiss."

"Wait what? This was the first time you two kissed?" 

I nodded. She looked at me with widened eyes, covering her mouth with her hands. "OH.MY.GOD."

I shook my head and signalised her to lower the tone. "No one's supposed to know this, so let's not get loud." 

"Alright, sorry. So, did he do it because of the media? Or, was it because he really likes you?" 

"That I don't know. That's what worrying me."

"Why is it worrying?"

I leaned against the wall. "Because I may have or may not have caught feelings."

"For real??!"

I nodded, looking at the floor. How did this happen? Why did I catch feelings for him? Why him? 

"Hey, sweetheart. That's nothing bad. Everyone falls in love. That's the most beautiful feeling." 

"Not in this case, Minttu. We are not even really together. The "mission ends" soon. And then he will move on with his life, but I'm here left, with feelings for him."

"What makes you so sure that he didn't catch feelings? He kissed you in front of everyone."

"Probably because of the media." 

"Sorry Delancy, but are you blind? The way he looks at you makes me all giggly and fanlike. When he stares at you, it's like you're the only one in the whole world. There is no one else. He sees you as his everything. And that, that is definitely not for the media." 

I looked up to her. What if she's right? What if Mick did catch feelings for me too? 

"Also, you didn't even notice how many times he looks at you while you're not looking. But I did. Everyone did. Especially Kimi." 

That gave me high hopes. That it may be true. That he likes me too. That he doesn't only see me as the arrogant, aggressive and cold driver who he has to fake a relationship with.
