Checkered Love

After you've left Carlos and Isa, you pack up your things from the office and head to the hotel to for an early night of watching movies with Lucy.

"Heeyyyy Luce! I'm home, how was your day?"

Lucy is already waiting for you with a gin and tonic. "What's cooking, good looking. It was manic with all the foreign dignitaries today, I'm bushed." You put your things down on the coffee table and take off your shoes and walk to the balcony, Lucy following on your heels."

You are vaping and sipping on your gin and tonic when Lucy breaks the silence. "So how was your day then, luv? Are you ok after the whole Isa thing?" 

You sigh and take another sip of your g&t as she lits a ciggie. "Well, it was...interesting...I was talking with Charles en route to the garage and, upon hearing Sainz was looking for me, ended up smack bang against his chest, dropping papers and shit everywhere."

Lucy starts laughing "Well, now, it appears that you had yourselves another movie scene in the paddock in front of everyone. This just keeps getting better..."

"But, wait, there's more", you grin at her.

"Well, spill the tea then, hun. You can't say shit like that and keep a girl in suspense."

"So, Fred asked me to join him on the pitwall for quali, but not before Sainz had a zipper problem that I needed to help him with."

Lucy's mouth falls open "Shut.the.front.door! I hope he needed help unzipping, rather than zipping up, eh?"

You start laughing. "Errr...up it was...and after quali, I even got an "attaboy" for my efforts before Isa burst through the door again."

Lucy sits upstraight and lights another ciggie. "Wait, hang on a bit. You mean that you went to his driver's room where he asked you to zip him up?" 

You giggle. "Nooooo, I had to zip him up in the garage. After quali - he made P1 by the way- he asked me to come to his drivers room. We had an Estrella Galicia and were still chatting when Journo Barbie burst through the door. Luckily, all this had already happened by then."

Lucy starts waving her hand to her face, mock-fanning herself with non-existant cool air, "I swear, the two of you would make the cutest couple! But I have to ask you, while you guys were busy working during quali, did you see her at all?"

You think back for a second. "Now that you mention it, I didn't." 

Lucy nods her head. "I though so. She was in the VIP zone at Red Bull, looking very cosy with one of the foreign dignitaries."

You also sit upright now and nearly bash your glass on the side table, giving Lucy a fright. "She.did.WHAT?" You stand up, pacing around, raising your voice. "So she's got Sainz pining for her, but then wants to two-time him when something more lucrative comes her way? He has a very busy season ahead of him and he doesn't have time for games. I swear if I get hold of her, she will regret this." 

Lucy sits back and watches you intently, a slow smile creeping on her lips. "I KNEW IT! You've got the hots for Sainz! You would not react this way if you didn't care." 

Still fuming, you take a few deep puffs of your vape and sigh. "I DO care. That I don't deny. So I will not allow her to hurt him in anyway. He deserves better than that. He...he deserves someone that only has eyes for him. A girl who will love him, adore him and support him in every way. Not some two-timing bitch, fucking her way around the paddock."

Lucy's POV: 

Lucy knows it's futile to argue with Y/n anymore, but is seriously concerned that she is going to get her heart broken, because of her stubborn nature. You've never seen her react this way, and it's clear that with only a few short days in, she is falling for Carlos...hard. You think it's about time to have a chat with Lando and Charles about the situation.

Carlos' POV that evening:

*While you can't get your mind off Y/n, you are enjoying Isa's company and you love spending time with her. You know how nosy and harsh the media can be, and you never want to put anyone that you care about in a position of unsurety, where they are hounded by the media as a result of your profession. 

If only Y/n gave you an indication whether she's interested or not, so you can get her out of your system. But as far as you can see, she is as professional and efficient as what you are trying to be. 

You decide it's time to move on, and ask Isa if she wants to go public with your relationship. The answer was positive and you enjoy a relaxing, romantic early evening before you head to the hotel alone to sleep*

Later, Y/n and Lucy makes some supper and settle in for an early night with ice cream and movies, before both falls asleep on the couch.
