Naked truth

Belgium GP

Race

"Max Verstappen wins the Belgian GP and the Red Queen, Lydia Hatzi follows behind him in P2. It seems that the competition is close between these two".

Lydia smiles one more time as she gets out of her car happy to get another podium, but once again the thought of the Monegasque man laying on his bed defeated flashes through her mind. She feels bad? Guilty? Sad?

She doesn't even know how to feel. She looks around when someone grabs her arm guiding towards the cool down room.

As she steps on the podium she searches through the crowd for the familiar figure of the green eyed man, but once again she doesn't see him. It's okay. Everything is going to be okay.

When the podium celebrations finish she goes into the Ferrari garage. He isn't there either.

A little later, when she walks down the hallway, towards her driver room a hand grabs her arm, pulling her inside a room. She doesn't have time to comprehend what is happening when she falls against a dark chest. The smell of a familiar perfume filling her nostrils and she knows she is safe.

She puts her hand on his chest to steady herself.

"You won't fall. I got you" she hears his voice and looks up. Her eyes meeting his.

At the sight of his face she can't stop but smile. His hair are messy from the race and his cheeks are flushed from the adrenaline while his whole face is covered in marks from the balaclava that was pressing on his face not so long ago.

"Congratulations on your win my love" he says as he wraps his arms around her body, pulling her in a warm, loving hug.
"I'm so proud of you" he says as he lets go , before his hands touch her cheeks pulling her face closer to his.

Lydia looks into his eyes. They are shining and Lydia feels like she can drown in them. She feels like she can get addicted to them, like a drug. Those eyes give her hope, for the future. Their future. They make her feel secured and loved. She knows that whatever it's meant to happen the man with the addictive green eyes will always be by her side.

"I love you" she blurts out, as she looks deeper into his eyes, starting to get lost in the green color.

I see my reflection in your eyes.

"It's the last lap of the Dutch GP everyone and we can see Lydia Hatzi fighting against Max Verstappen. They are fighting against each other even the last second"

"And we can see the Red Queen, Lydia Hatzi passing Max Verstappen and she starts moving further away building a gap. Will Verstappen reach her?"

"No. Hatzi is almost there in the finish line. Verstappen is staying behind as she is a breath away from victory."

"LYDIA HATZI WINS THE DUTCH GRAND PRIX. ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE FERRARI DRIVER"

"Max Verstappen finishes in P2 as her teammate, the Monegasque driver crosses the finish line in P3"

Hotel room

Lydia is sitting on the floor, back touching the wall while her suitcase is opened in front of her with her things around it.

Suddenly the music on her phone stops and it starts ringing. She picks it up seeing the name on the screen. Daph.

She answers the call as she puts her on her ear.
