A Dream Coming True

Chapter 10

July 31st 2022

Last night, we went to the restaurant and walked in the city during the night. She smiled a lot, laughed a lot. She felt alive.

I let her go to her room with a simple goodnight kiss on her cheek. She still didn't seem comfortable enough

That's why when she opened her door with a big smile, my heart exploded. She had put her hair in a high ponytail and left two locks hanging.

"You're wearing my tee-shirt."

It wasn't a question, just a thing I saw and loved. The Gasly shirt was fitting her silhouette perfectly, making me want to put my hands everywhere on her hips.

"Well, you're the one paying for this trip so that's the least I can do."

"You don't have to do anything, all right ?"

"And you still don't understand that I do what I want." she smirked.

"Okay but you'll have to wear this today."

I showed her my hand and she laughed.

"An AlphaTauri cap ? Seriously ?"

"Very."

She sighed but put it on her hand.

"How do I look ?"

"Magnificent."

I offered her my hand with a smile. She took it and we drove to the track for the race.

~~~

Finally I was back in the points. The race had gone well but the best thing was when I got out of the car and saw Lila in the garage, waiting for me. Her dimple was all I could focus on.

"Can we finally say that you're my lucky charm ?" I asked as she hugged me.

"Shut up. Congrats on the P10, you deserved it."

"Thank you."

I left to the interviews, talking with all the journalists. Most of them congratulated me for coming into the points. I debriefed the race with my team and soon I left with Lila.

"So, what do we do tonight ?"

"We chill."

"We chill ? You're serious ?"

"Pretty serious yes."

"And what do we do ?"

"I don't know. What do you do when you chill ?"

"I usually watch a movie."

"Then I guess it's what we'll do tonight."

She didn't seem happy with that idea. Her body tensed and her smile had disappeared. Shit, I thought she was exhausted.

"Why ?"

"I thought you were tired and wanted to relax after the race."

Her body relaxed and her dimple was back where it was supposed to be.

"I wasn't the one driving."

"But I wasn't the one stressing over the other."

"Touché."

"So, is that a yes ? Do you want to come with me tonight ?"

"Yes, Pierre, I will come with you tonight."

My name in her mouth was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard. I was smiling so hard my cheeks were hurting me. But it was worth it. Everything with her was worth it.
