Unexpected love | Lewis Hamilton

N I N E

Saturday qualifying day..

I was rushing through the paddock to get to my father as I needed to speak to him before he had a meeting, qualifying started in three hours so in that it wasn't a rush but I knew he had a meeting now before qualifying so I really needed to speak to him before he had the meeting.

I had arrived late at the track as I was sleepy so Lewis had just gone without me this morning to the track while I stayed at the hotel, I could see paparazzi and fans taking pictures of me as I walked there in the paddock with a white floor length dress. I just smiled at them as I tried to avoid being too much in spot light, I didn't like to have people screaming my name it honestly only gave me a headache hearing people scream so loud gosh I didn't know how my sister made it through her days.

On the other side she was more used to it, she always loved the spotlight of being Christian Horner's daughter, I didn't like it just as much as she did.

As I walked there I bumped into someone and fell to the ground, that hurt.

' omg I'm so sorry, let me help you ' I heard a familiar voice say.

As I got a hand offered to me I saw it was none other than Daniel, I just laughed it off and told him I would speak to him later as I was in a rush to find my father.

How I knew I should've taken the electric scooter

My feet were sore after walking so much these past few days, the fact I'd been walking in heels didn't make it any better. Although I was smart today and took some of Lewis sneakers instead, without telling him but you know what was fake boyfriends for if not stealing their things.

However as I got into the Red Bull garage I saw max talking to his engineers, I walked over to them quickly and said hi then asked if they knew where my father was and they all said he was in his office so I thanked them and walked towards my fathers office.

I got to his office and I actually hesitated at first but then I knocked on the door, much to my dismay my father opened the door.

' hey Anastasia, what brings you here '

' can I talk to you? '

' of course, I always have time to talk to you '

He opened the door fully and stepped aside to let me walk in and so I did, I looked around his office. I actually hadn't been here in years it felt like, it was probably years since I last was here as well, my father sat on his chair and made a sign with his hands as to tell me to sit down in one of the two chairs in front of him.

' so what did you want to talk about? '

' well I wanted to say that I'm sorry and even tho we don't always have the best daughter and father relationship I will always love you in some crazy way '

I saw how my fathers eyes got filled with tears and he got up from his seat to go over to me so he could hug me.

' I should be saying sorry, I am and should be the father and the bigger person but I haven't been recently. Do you think we can repair our relationship? ' my father asked as i was in his arms on the verge of tears.

' small steps dad '

' yeah your right, small steps that sounds good '

We both smiled as we hugged once more.

I wasn't gonna lie it felt good to be somehow closer to repairing me and my father's daughter & father relationship, with small steps of course but somehow slowly do it. I needed a father I could speak to freely and who was always there, he promised he would work on it and I promised to work on my issues as well.

' will you watch qualifying from here with me? '
My father asked.

' yeah, I just have to do one thing if you give me about an hour or more ' I said as I ran out of there to find Lewis.

I figured I'd spend some time with Lewis before he had to go in the car for qualifying it was 2 hours until he had to get ready at least so I could spend that time with him then spend qualifying and whatsoever with my father.

I scrolled through the paddock trying to find Lewis it was honestly easier said than done he was everywhere but now where, I eventually found Angela tho who I asked where he was and she told me he was in his drivers room.

I thanked her with a smile as I started walking towards the Mercedes hospitality, which when I came there I went directly to his drivers room after greeting Valtteri.

And as I entered the drivers room I saw him sitting on his bed on his phone just as Angela said he would, I just stood in the door frame for a good minute watching as he seemed so focused where he eventually noticed me staring.

' no need to stare at me like that ' he said still being all up in his phone.

' what ya doin '

' some work stuff but I'm done now ' he said as he put his phone down and looked at me.

Oh this was just perfect I had an hour to spare before he had to get ready.
