the next morning I woke up to a alarm going off but it wasnt mine. there was a arm around me. I turned over to see a shirtless lando which I wasnt complaining.
he rolled over and turned the alarm off
"good morning" he says in a raspy voice "good morning" I say back looking at him confused. "oh im sorry you fell asleep and I didnt want to wake you up im sorry I hope that was okay" he says nervously "no its okay" he sat up and got out of the bed he was shirtless and had sweatpants on I looked at him. I couldnt stop looking at him. "you see something you like or?" he laughs scratching the back of his neck as he caught me. I laughed embarrassed. "I um im sorry I probably should get going" I say getting up. I had the clothes I had on from the night before I grabbed my phone and my heels in the other hand. "you dont have to" he says as he follows me to the door "you have a big day I cant distract you" I say "well you should definitely come to the mclaren garage after qualifying" he says "mmm ill think about it good luck today" I say and kiss his cheek. he opens the door "oh and thank you for dinner I had a good time" I smile thinking about it. "I did to"
I walk down the hall to the elevator and get in taking it to my floor. I get out and walk to my room.
then I realized I didnt have a key. I knocked on the door once. no answer so I knocked again and there was no answer.
I knocked again and the door opened to reveal Kate in an oversized t-shirt with a messy head.
she smirks at me and leans against the door. "look who decided to come back" she says I walk past her to put my shoes down and plug up my phone. she jumps on the bed and looks at me. I look at her "so you going to spill or keep it all to yourself?" "what is there to say?" "what happened?" "we went to Dinner we talked and then came back and watched a movie and fell asleep thats all" I say "okay but like you going to ghost him or continue to talk to him?" "ill probably still talk to him because we won't ever hangout again after this because he thinks were going back home to Texas" "which is a lie because you two are actually going to be together every weekend and he just won't know" "yea but im not going to catch feelings for anyone its a distraction" "gosh you drive me insane can you just open your eyes and see thats its not bad to be in love just because your dad fell in love and had you but they didnt stay together didnt affect him he still raced and took you with him y/n! I promise it's okay to find someone!" she basically yells the last part "its easy for you guys climb all over you" "and guys do you too you just dont realize or you push them all away because your scared" she says "I know" "okay soooo get your ass up and get dressed its qualifying day bitch" Kate says as there was a knock on the door. I give her a confusing look. she gets up and opens it "thank you very much" she says "of course ill see you later" I hear the voice
I get up and stand behind her as she turns around surprised. she had breakfast in her hand for me and her both. "who was that?" I give her a funny look "nobody just shut up and eat this we've got to go soon" she says shoving her face with food. then I realized the voice "you have something going on with Leclerc" I say wide eyed "do not" "yes you do Kate I know you better than that" she just giggles like a little girl
we finish eating quickly and I jump In the shower.
I get out and change into a pair of shorts and a cute shirt
"ive got to go to the mclaren garage after we qualify soooo ive got to wear something to change into so no one knows." I say "why you going there?" she gives me a look after she was dressed. "why is Charles Leclerc bringing you breakfast" we didnt say anything and just looked at each other "thought so" I say as I grab my phone and we head out of the hotel and to the track for the day.

after a bunch of talking and meetings it was now later in the day like 3pm and it was time for qualifying. I go to my drivers room and change into my gear before walking back to the Red Bull garage. I pulled on my hood and slid into my car. Kate was standing there waiting to give me my helmet like always. it was a tradition "you've got it" she says as she can tell im nervous. she hands me my helmet and I strap it on. I get situated and pull out onto the track and wait to start.
