Strangers, to lovers, to enemies

THE PRESENT 

I grab my stuff and head out into the kitchen where I see the cake sat on the kitchen counter all wrapped up and ready. Hugo and Camille are sat in the living room waiting for me, Camille has her little backpack and her trainers doe. Hugo is sat, relaxing back sunglasses on enjoying the breeze from the balcony, not a care in the world. 

"Ready to go?" 

Camille looks up from the TV and runs to me, grabbing her bag.

"Allez, allez, allez" she squeals before running back around the sofa and grabbing Hugo's hand to help him off of the sofa. "Let's go" she says before running out of the room and to the front door. 

"She's too cute" Hugo says as he grabs the cake off of the side and grabs a set of keys. Since it was race weekend all the roads were closed so we would have to walk. Plus I left my car at the restaurant last night so we'd of had to take Hugo's car anyway. 

It was a quick walk down the hill to the track entrance. When we got there, Hugo spotted Arthur waiting just inside the paddock entrance with three paddock passes in his hands. Hugo gives him a little wave and he comes out of the barriers to meet us, he is dressed in all Ferrari gear and white puma trainers. He has sunglasses on and a cap to keep the sun out of his face. He comes over and gives me two kisses on either side of my face and does the same with Hugo before giving Elle a big high-five and giving us the paddock. Camille made a squealing sound when she scanned her badge and it let her through the barriers. 

We made our way into the Ferrari garage easily besides someone wanting a picture with Arthur who was currently carrying Camille. When we got into the Ferrari garage Charles wasn't there so we sat down and waited for him. As soon as he walked in the doors from the briefing Camille ran at him. 

"CHARLESSSSSSSS!" She shouted as she ran to him, he picked her up and gave her a hug. 

"Hi Camille!" Charles responded while putting her back on the ground. He walked over and greeted me and Hugo with a kiss on each cheek. 

"We made you a cake" Camille says ruining the surprise that had been set up for him. "SURPRISE" she shouts and shows him the cake. 

"OMG Camille! That looks amazing, WOW thank you" Charles said looking at the cake, he took his phone out and posted a picture of it to his story. 

Carlos Sainz walked over and said hi before spotting the cake "there's cake?! my trainers going to kill me, can I have a piece please?" Carlos says looking around for the owner of the cake. 

"Of course you can" I cut Carlos a piece of cake and take a picture of Elle and Carlos together so that once she realises other drivers outside Daniel Riccardo exist she'll know she met the legendary Carlos Sainz. 

Charles, me, Hugo and Cam all have a slice of cake together before the race - and it was amazing, light and fluffy while also being flavourful. 

"Camille come here please you need your insulin" I tell Camille as she stands next to me and gives me her insulin pump. She gets bored and starts dancing twisting up the tube "Camille stand still a minute please" 

"I can't mama, I'm so excited. I get to meet Daniel Riccardo" She screams while twirling. I manage to put the insulin pump back into the pocket before she spins away. 

"What is the tube for?" Charles asks, not in a rude manner but more of an inquisitive question. 

"She's type 1 diabetic. It's an auto-immune condition which means she doesn't produce insulin so has to take insulin injections" I say showing Charles her blood sugar levels on my phone.
