S2.C7 - Pretty face (Canada)

"George! We are here!" Carmen screams at George and Lewis as they come in our direction from the restaurant entrance.
"Nice view" says Lewis while he sits down to our table
"Best restaurant in Montecarlo I heard"
"That's why you insisted so much to come here" I say to Carmen
"Four glass of white wine? red?" George asks raising his arm to call the waiter
"I go with water thanks"
"C'mon Italian girl, you love wine" he teases me
"She is going to drive us home so she is not drinking" says Lewis putting his hand on my leg "I'll go with white wine"
"Boring, you should take a taxi"
"George!" Carmen looks at him
"Well Sir, I love driving that car so I do it as much as I can" I say trying to find an excuse
George rolls his eyes and laughs "Never stop being funny to me that you love driving more than him, on normal streets I mean"
"Georgie, shut up" says Lewis laughing and throwing his napkin to George

"So the baby is healthy" says Lewis as we walk out from the clinic
"Shhh! Do you wanna put it on billboards?"
"Actually yes" he says laughing "can I scream it?"
"That's what he said before his death" I say punching his arm
"Uhhh so scared"
We hug and keep walking "we wait, ok? we wait till we are comfortable to say it to everyone, our families too"
"Yes, I..."
"What?"
"I accidentally said it, I mean he guessed it, I swear he won't tell anyone-"
"Who?" says Lewis stopping
"Don't get mad"
"Who?"
"Carlos..."
Lewis looks into my eyes "Ok"
"Are you mad?"
"Nope" he says not looking at me
"So you are mad"
"I am not mad but-"
"I am sorry Lewis, he saw I was concerned about something and he wanted to give some advice and he said "it can't be that big, what are you?pregnant?" and I panicked"
"I am not mad honey, just I still don't fully like or trust him ok?"  He smiles
"Are you still jealous? Really?" I laugh a little "Baby we are just friends and he has a new girl, that thing ended last year and I repeat you one more time, I love you idiot"
He smiles again and hugs me "I love you little star and I trust you, I don't trust the handsome spaniard"
"Handsome spaniard? I mean yes but-" I laugh "I should be the one saying that"
"I have eyes too darling but he is not handsome like me still"
"Right again" I kiss him "no one's like you, baby"

As we are packing for Canada, I sit on the bed to check my beauty case
"Got you this today" Lewis says giving me a bag from Dior
"Dior?"
"Open it"
I open the bag and look inside, there is a pair of little shoes, white with blue teddy bears all over them "they are adorable"
"Do you like them?"
"Lewis, we said to wait before buying anything"
"I know but they are so cute"
"You are cute"
"Am I?"
"Cute" I say laying down on the bed keeping the eye contact "so cute"
He sits next to me and bends till his face is near mine "Just cute?"
"Yes Sir" I grab his shirt and pull him closer for a kiss

I stand right at the exit of the TV pen waiting for George on Friday after the first practice session.
"Still working illegally?" I turn around and see Horner with a smile on his face
"Good afternoon Mr Horner, illegally like your catering? No, we are following all the rules"
"New suspensions?"
"Yes"
"legal?"
"What do you want from me? I refused the job offer so why are you still after me?"
"Monaco was intersting" he says looking in George's direction "impressive"
"The car wasn't the best but our drivers are the best so"
"Was it? are them?"
I am going to explode but fortunately George finishes his interview and comes to me "Hi Isabelle, hello Mr Horner"
"Let's go" I say grabbing his arm and not even looking back at the RedBull team principal.
"Bothering you again?" George asks looking at the datas I gave him
"Seems like his favourite thing to do lately"

"Mercedes locked up the front row again, will they repeat Monaco tomorrow? The car looks even better this weekend can they get that 1-2 again?" Says the f1TV
"Can we?" says Toto smiling at me
"With a good strategy that we still don't have"
"Late night?"
"Super late I fear" I smile back at him "At least I can get the poutine from the paddock as dinner"
