Unexpected love | Lewis Hamilton

O N E

I stood in the big hallway of my school waiting for my friend to finish her last class so we could go on our summer break. I had planned so many things to do this summer with all of my friends, one thing I hadn't done was made plans to go home. Of course I knew my family wanted me to come home but I didn't want to go home, especially not to see my father I had lived by my own in Paris for a whole year and it was honestly better than living with them, now I was at least able to presume my dream. When I was with them I couldn't because then all my father talked about was either me coming to work with him in formula one or me becoming a model. None of those would actually happen but he could always dream.

Just as my friend finished class the bell rang and she met up with me outside then we started walking out of the school building so we could go to my apartment to ready for a party that we were going to tonight. Although as we got outside I saw my father standing besides his car waiting for me.

' fuck, come on Ashley we have to discreetly try to sneak away ' I said as she just noticed my dad.

Much to my luck that didn't plan out so well because my father saw us and he yelled for me. I had no other choice but to tell Ashley I would see her later at the party, then went towards my father reluctantly.

' hey my amazing daughter ' his happy voice said.

' what's up with you today, you haven't spoken to me in months and now you show up here without even sending a text? '

' cant I visit my little Anastasia? ' he asked.

I didn't believe that shit for even a second.

I laughed.

' fun joke dad, now why don't you spill the real reason your here, aren't you supposed to be in silverstone for the British Grand Prix? '

' well yeah but I'm swinging by to pick up you '

' what, no way '

I argued some to why I wasn't gonna come with him but it was pointless in the end he didn't give up. So I reluctantly went with him in the car where he could get towards the airport fast enough, I just sent a quick text telling Ashley about it all and told her I would be back as fast as I could escape.

I just figured I could be in the paddock and shit instead of being with my father. I didn't know why he wanted me to come with him but I wasn't gonna figure that out either, because honestly I didn't even want to know.

As we got on my fathers plane I saw other people who I knew worked for him there.

I didn't recognize everyone there although I did recognize some which was Daniel a guy who drove for my dad, max which was another driver, then I also saw some people who worked for the team.

But the rest I didn't recognize, I hadn't been with my dad to a race in years.

I just sat down and put on my headphones as I blasted music. I hated to fly and my father knew that, that's why he just left me to sit there in my own corner.

When we had taken off my dad came up to me and gave me some art stuff.

' I know your scared of flying so here is some distractions for you '

I smiled.

' thank you dad '

It was the first time in a very long time he'd done something like that for me. Sure our relationship had fallen apart years ago but he was still my father in the end of the day. I loved him deep in somewhere even if he drove me nuts, and even if he didn't like everything I did he often just accepted it.

Like with art he had just accepted it at this point and now he could see me doing it sometimes.

Later as I sat there sketching on a new drawing Daniel came and sat opposite of me.

' hello Anastasia, I've heard a lot about you '

' hey Daniel, I've heard a lot about you too '

' what are you drawing? '

I showed Daniel my sketch as I felt he wasn't the type to judge.

' it's so good!, your such a talented artist '

' thank you!, it's not finished yet I'm not even halfway through but I think it's becoming something '

' it's so good, I definitely need you to draw me something sometime '

I smiled and said I could definitely do that sometime.

Maybe it wasn't that mad to go with my father just this once, I and Daniel talked almost the whole flight as I was drawing.

He told me many stories about his life and I told some about mine. We both got along pretty good and he was a funny guy as well, Daniel was an easy guy to talk to. I liked that because it was always so hard for me to talk to some people sometimes so having so easy to just talk with him made me happy. He was definitely a great guy which I was hoping maybe sometime I could be friends with, although I wasn't planning on going to more races than I was forced to.

But later when I was almost done with my drawing my father came up to me and Daniel so Daniel showed him my drawing and for once I thought I saw my dad looking proud over me.

He even complimented my talent which was something he'd never done before, it caught me off guard but it felt good that he at least appreciated me for once.

Before we landed my father asked Daniel if he could talk to me alone which Daniel nodded and went to sit with the others.

' what's up dad ' i asked.

' I'm gonna admit I didn't take you to this race just because I wanted to spend time with you ' he started off with.

' I knew it! '

' just listen I want you to date max ' he said as he pointed at max.

' what the hell, definitely not '

' yes you are, you don't have a choice Anastasia your gonna date him alright I'm gonna give you two time to talk tomorrow over dinner '

After he said that he just got up and walked to the others before I had a chance to say anything.

' how dared he!, he couldn't control my life '

I knew he'd been too nice to be true, he was probably only that nice so I would agree to date max but guess what I wasn't gonna date max, I didn't care what the fuck he thought and wanted he could get another person to do it.

The next day..

I walked in the paddock with my father and some Red Bull employees, my dad was busy with fans and his employees while I just walked there on the side feeling annoyed.

I didn't want to be here in the first place, definitely not with my father either.

However when we walked there I saw Lewis walking towards us. I ran up yo hug Lewis which he hugged me back, that made my dad look very confused and angry.

' Anastasia, how have you been? '

' good, what about you? '

' I've been good, what are you doing here? '

' well my dad forced me to come with him so I am just here because he forced me to go '

Just as I said that my dad came interrupting us.

' sorry Lewis she has to go and see her boyfriend now ' my father said as he grabbed my shoulders.

' boyfriend? ' Lewis added.

' yeah Anastasia here and max have started dating! '

I looked at my father angrily.

' what! '

Before I could say what I wanted to he dragged me away from there.

' what the hell was that dad! '

I didn't even get an answer because he just pushed me into the Red Bull garage then went to wherever god knows.

' God how I hated him! '
