Texas Lows and Monaco Highs

4 - Undecided

The race itself was uneventful, and at the end of the day everyone could guess who was going to win and no shocker here it was Max Verstappen. Eztli watched the race with Matthew and spent the last few minutes of the race talking to him asking him about Marco.

Eztli's POV
I wonder if this is gonna work. I know I came here to meet a driver but Marco is just so just so I don't even know how to describe him. It's almost as if I don't remember what my whole objective was. I have a feeling I haven't failed miserably yet since Lewis didn't mind my lipstick on his face. 

Eztli: "Hey Matthew can I take a picture with the drivers?", I smiled hoping he'd cave. He did. 

Matthew: "You'll have to get them to take quick pictures as they pass as they have to go to the podium so be brief"

Eztli: "Can you hold my phone that way I can just thumbs up every time they pass, I don't care as long as they are in the photo?"

Matthew: "Smart girl"

He took multiple pictures of me and the drivers, I saw Max, Charles pass by. One person was missing and I found myself looking for him, and there he came practically strutting as he had gotten P2 and I obviously could not help myself and yell his name at the top of my lungs, I even saw Matthew roll his eyes, and cover his ears. We both laughed as we saw Lewis come towards us because he kind of looked embarrassed.

Lewis: "Well looks like you were lucky after all"

Eztli: "lol yeah tt's my hidden superpower"

Lewis: "well then I'd like to keep you as my little secret"

Eztli: "Do you now Mr. Hamilton?"

Lewis: "Oh I do, well I've got to go I'll see you all in a bit"

He rushed to the cool down room. 

Matthew: "I think Lewis likes you, which explains this special treatment he told me to give you"

Eztli: "I imagine he did after he turned to kiss me"

We both laughed and stayed till they were done with all the interviews and I told Matthew I had to go.

Matthew: "Didn't you say you'd stay and wait for him?"

Eztli: "yeah but its late, and I live two hours away ", I really wasn't planning on leaving more like ditching Matthew to look for Marco.

Matthews POV:

Matthew: "Well if you have to go let me at least take your email so we can send you some merchandise", I lied but it seemed legit to say. Hoping she'd say yes.

Eztli: "Well... alright", I thanked her and directed her to the exit and told her it was nice meeting her. I waved goodbye to her till I lost her out of my sight. That's when it came to me. Why was she so interested in the engineers, why did she always ask about Marco immediately after asking about Lewis. There's no way she's going to look for him, impossible.

20 minutes later...

Matthew: "Eztli what are you doing here???", i yell at her as she's sitting at a table with Marco as if she hadn't just told me she was leaving.

Eztli: "Whoops sorry I got distracted when I bumped into Marco, but he was going to walk me out right Marco", she said looking and Marco.

Marco: "Yes yes of course it was nice seeing you Matthew", and that's when we heard him.

Lewis: "Here you guys are, I've been calling you nonstop Matthew why aren't you answering my calls?"

Matthew: "Sorry sir I couldn't hear it"

Lewis: "It's alright", he turned to Eztli, "Would you like to come to dinner with us we're celebrating?"

Eztli: "I don't know if that's a good idea, Marco here was gonna walk me to my car as I had previously told Matthew it's late and I can't see that good at night and the traffic will be horrendous"

Lewis POV:

Why is she so difficult, and why is he here.

Lewis: "Well if that's an issue I can drive you there and have a driver pick me up from your home"
Wow, that sounded very stalker-like.

Eztli: "Well I don't want to be a bother I'm fine it's okay"

Marco: "I can make sure she gets home I can call her a ride", he said looking at her, god why does he look at her like that.

Eztli: "Yeah no gracias to that too, guys seriously I'm fine''

She then proceeded to step wrong and fell down.

She laughed hard, I liked her laugh. "Are you okay?" I said to her.

Eztli: "Yup I'm fine", as I grabbed her hand and helped her up she didn't let go of my hand as she tried to balance herself she said, "I'll let you drive me" She turned to Marco and gave him a hug, he whispered something in her ear but I couldn't hear it but they both smiled at each other. I felt jealous even at the way she looked at him. 

Lewis: "Matthew do me a favor and tell my driver to pick me up at her house, I'll text you the address"

Eztli: "Could we stop for some food? I'm actually in the mood for a good burger, have you had Whataburger before?"

Lewis: "No I'm vegan"

Eztli: "Oh, right right sorry I forgot, well they sell salads" she smiled. That smile. That ride felt so short we spent it talking about her because I refused to talk about myself all I wanted to do is listen to her voice. The next day I knew that I had to do something, so I called her... I wanted to see her again.
