I can't .

~21~

POV y/n:

I woke up this morning next to Carlos. I told him about my dismissal and that Bottas had taken care of me. We have room service this morning so we didn't have to rush and I didn't have to worry about running into my father. "I'm curious about your day today, though." Says Carlos as he comes back to sit on the bed after setting the breakfast on the table. "Me too, am especially curious to see what my father thinks when he sees us arrive together and sees me going to the Alfa Romeo." Carlos laughs. "What's so funny." "Yesterday you made me call him Toto because you didn't even want to hear the words your father." I'm laughing now too. "He is still my father though, it's too bad how everything turned out, but I'm here with you now and that makes up for a lot." I press a kiss to his lips and he pushes me back on the bed, I run my hands through his hair and feel the warmth of his chest against mine. I feel his tongue brush against my lips and I allow him to deppen our kiss, his hands explore my body and I moan under the pleasure of his touch, after a while I feel his erection pressing against my upper leg, but just before I am about to do anything with this there is a knock on the door. "Let it go, it's probably not important." Whispers Carlos as he gently places his lips on my neck, I push my head back further into the pillows and indeed hope that the person at the door will  leave in a moment. "y/n I know you're here, you weren't at breakfast this morning." It's Lewis' voice. Carlos moves away from me and picks up his sweatpants from the floor. "Dios mío." I hear Carlos cursing and I get out of bed to open the door.

"Is it true what I heard y/n did Toto fire you?" "Not in the hallway Lewis better come in." Whilw I walk in with him I hear the shower turn on in the bathroom. "Is that who I think it is?" Lewis grins and I shake my head. "But you didn't come for that, I'll tell you what happened and then you'll leave?" "Sure, I just wanted to know if it's true and how you're doing." I tell him what happened and that I'm going to watch his last training Bottas today and some what hope my father to see the Alfa Romeo do better than they did before and that he will regrets that it all went the way it did between us. Lewis wishes me luck and just before he leaves Carlos comes walking out of the bathroom. "Are you being careful with her Carlos?" Says Lewis to him. " Of course, it would be a shame not to treat her like a princess." Lewis gives him a box and he then leaves the room. "He sure takes good care of you doesn't he?" "Lewis? Yes always, he's become like a brother to me over the years, even though I know he feels something different sometimes, but he knows that's not going to happen especially after my relationship with George and now that I'm with you."

POV Carlos:

With y/n on my arm, we walk on the grid. "Good morning you two." Says Charles to us when he sees us coming. "Good morning Charles, did you sleep well?" "Yeah fine, you had a rough night?" I laugh at his joke and have another chat with him. "Tell the guys I'll be right there, I'm going to take y/n to Bottas." Charles looks at her a little funny. "Bottas? You're not with Mercedes anymore?" "I was fired by my father, but we'll talk later Charles." We greet him and walk towards the Alfa Romeo, Bottas is already waiting for her. "Good luck mi amor, I'll see you later." I give her a kiss and run back to my pit box.

Bottas' Alfa Romeo is doing well this weekend, it has been a long time since they have made it to Q3, their race also went well and they finished P4, I still had a hard time defending against Bottas, y/n's influence on the track was good to see, also I saw her glowing something I haven't seen her do in the time I have seen her run at Mercedes. I walk onto the podium to take my P3 spot, I search through the crowd of people for y/n and Bottas. My eyes fall on Isa who is almost in front, she waves at me like she promised to do and I shake my head, I get a nasty feeling in my lower belly. I try not to think about it and enjoy the moment on the podium for a while. When I come back into the greenroom soaked from the champagne I see Isa standing she is talking to someone but can't see who, I come walking in her direction and feel worde rising in me when I see she is talking to y/n. "Isa what are you doing here? This room is for staff only." "I thought I'd go is meet your new friend and thought she might appreciate it if I told her exactly who the fuck you are." "Go away! I'm really getting tired of you now. It's all very well you being here with Kelly but I don't see her here anywhere anyway to take care of Max! We are no longer in a relationship so you don't have to follow me everywhere!"  Isa laughs and this makes me even angrier, I feel my hands start to tremble, it is better now that I walk away because otherwise I don't know what I will do.

 POV y/n:

How Carlos reacted to Isa when he saw her shocked me quite a bit, the anger was all over his face, the things she had told me in the short time did not correspond at all to the sweet caring Carlos I had experienced this weekend at all. "You'll see y/n, mark my words!" Are the last words I hear her shout as I go after Carlos. In my Alfa Romeo shirt I run is his pit box the Ferrari crew giving me weird look as I knock on the door of his dressing room. "I'm busy, get out." "Carlos it's me y/n." I hear his footsteps coming toward the door and it being unlocked. I slowly push the door open and step inside. "Lock the door again behind you please, I don't feel like having people just walk in here too." I do as he asks. "What did she say to you mi amor?" "That you are pretending to be different than you are." Carlos nods disapprovingly. "Maybe that's because I've known for some time that this bitch had someone else but I couldn't prove it." Carlos radiates one and all anger. "Carlos, don't worry, I'm here now isn't that what it's all about?" "You're right." He approaches me, grabbing me by the waist and firmly pressing his lips to mine, I feel so much emotion in his kiss. "Please stay with me mi amor?" "I see no reason to leave, really don't worry."

Together we walk to the exit of the track at the end of the day, as we walk into the parking lot we meet my father. I look at him and nod his head in greeting, I wave to him and he then continues walking to his car.
