The next day John and I go to enrol in my new school. It looks way better than my previous high school and they say that it is a good one. I can continue all my classes, including the advanced language ones. I was a little nervous because it is March, almost the end of the school year but the principal was understanding of the situation. Toto sent me the details of the job he promised. I immediately accepted it and I will start next week. I will work four hours every day after school and it pays good. I will have much more free time now, back home I worked forty hours a week for half this money. I am very lucky that my brother is working for Mercedes and I am thankful to Lewis. I am laying in my bed as my mind wanders into dangerous territory. Lewis. I don't know what it is about him that makes me feel this way. I just can't stop thinking about last night when he whispered in my ear. I don't know if he was flirting with me or was simply polite and friendly. It doesn't matter either way, he is my brother's best friend, nothing can happen between us.
- Knock, knock. Can I come in? – I hear a familiar voice but it doesn't belong to my brother.
- Hi Lewis. – I welcome him as he steps in.
- We were thinking about playing video games, do you want to join? – he asks.
- Sure, but I have to warn you, I have never played any in my life, so I'm gonna suck so much. – I laugh.
- Don't worry, I will teach you. – he winks.
Seriously, this man is going to be the end of me. I go to the living room and sit on the couch between John and Lewis. Can you guess what we are playing? Of course Formula 1. It isn't enough that they spend they whole day working in it, but they have to play related games in their free times. They explain the basics. They brought over Lewis' PS next to my brother's so two of us are able to race with each other. They do a couple of round, showing me what to do, then Lewis hands me his controller.
- Now it's your turn, beautiful. – he says with a smug face.
- Please, don't flirt with my sister, or I have to kill you. – says my brother.
- Johnny, you wouldn't do that, you love me and besides I am not flirting just stating facts. – he winks.
I take the controller, but as I predicted, I suck at it. I can't even go straight for two seconds. They are laughing at my horrible performance so loud and I join in after the tenth unsuccessful attempts to go around the track. After getting bored with losing, I hand back the controller and just watch the guys.
The next day I wake up early. I decide to take a run so I put on my training clothes. I walk out to the kitchen and I see Lewis sitting by the counter playing on his phone.
- Good morning, beautiful. – he says. – Johnny is still sleeping.
- Good morning, so you just let yourself in? – I laugh.
- I basically live here. – he says. – What are you doing?
- I am going for a run.
- Have breakfast with me before. I make a mean toast; you won't regret it.
- Let's see your kitchen performance, Mr. Hamilton. – I joke and sit down.
He prepares the breakfast, half-burning the toast but he compensates it with my latte which he remembered is my fuel to start the day. I look at the black bread on the plate and start laughing.
- It is a good thing that you are a racing driver, never change your job. – I say smiling.
- Hey, I didn't criticise you for your inability to play video games.
- You didn't? You were laughing so hard that you fell off the couch. – I remind him of last night.
- Okay, true. Let's make a deal: I will teach you to play F1 and you teach me how not to mess up the easiest food in the world.
- Deal. – I smile looking into his deep, brown eyes.
- Good morning! – says John walking out of his room.
Great timing, brother. I stand up and tell them that I am going for a run then I leave the apartment. I make my way towards the forest which is surrounding the factory. The weather is really nice and the place is beautiful. I quickly find a large path and start running. I enjoy it so much that I lose track of time. After a while I check my phone and see that I have run 6 kilometres so I turn around and run back home. The boys aren't there, so a take a shower and occupy myself with studying.
Hello beautifuls! I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Feel free to leave any comment or feedback. As you can feel, the heat is turning up between Sara and Lewis. What will John think? Will they or won't they? Updates every Wednesday and Saturday.
