Texas Lows and Monaco Highs

24- Too late...

Eztli's POV

Marco & i started dating a year after Lewis and I broke up, I got to travel with him to the races and slowly but surely we grew closer. He proposed on our two year anniversary and I didn't doubt for one second that I wanted to marry him. He loved me unconditionally, he supported me, he was there for me and always listened to me. I trusted him and he trusted me. I moved to London with him shortly after we had been dating and it was the best decision ever. He helped me meet new people and made sure I never felt lonely when he was away. My wish was his command.

I often saw Lewis but even then it was just cordial nods, small conversation nothing beyond that. I would occasionally catch him glancing over at me and then I would turn to see Marco who would glare at him. I found it almost amusing. I sometimes missed the thrill of being with Lewis but I knew I wanted to live life on my terms not his.

I had yet to start planning anything for the wedding but I knew I wanted it in Monaco. Marco had mentioned getting a place there for the summers and I couldn't be more happier. I noticed on his computer some of the places he looked at were close by Lewis's home... his beautiful empty space of a house. The place I wanted to make a home 3 years ago. I did miss him sometimes. I would run the situation in my head over and over yet I knew he and I weren't a forever thing in terms of marriage more like a soulmate who you'll forever love but not be with, yet always know they're yours.

Lewis POV
Now that I'm dating Lucia I don't think about Eztli as much. Lucia is great she's an engineer at Mercedes which is how we met. Eztli introduced us and even teased me when she noticed I was nervous around Lucia. Although, I don't think I was nervous when meeting Lucia I was nervous because my Eztli was there laughing again with me like we used to. I wanted to kiss her in that moment but I knew she was with him. I did eventually ask Lucia out and it was great but I often felt that I didn't like her as much as she liked me.

1 year later...

Lewis's POV

I had been surprisingly invited to their wedding. Eztli looked beautiful. I had taken Lucia with me as my plus one but as hard as I tried I couldn't take my eyes of Eztli. She caught me looking at her a few times she'd smile and laugh. My Eztli was officially not mine anymore...

Eztli's POV
The day of the wedding was gorgeous and after dinner was served we had an hour of speeches which made me cry and laugh,Marco and I were dying of laughter at Totos speech. And then he made a speech. My Lewis... Lewis spoke about meeting Marco & then meeting me, he talked about Mexico and the fight they had. He stared at me the whole time and I back at him... I missed him so much I wanted him be the one I was marrying. Marco held my hand throughout the night never letting me go and I hated it. I knew it was on purpose and for my own good. Into the night while everyone danced I slipped away with the excuse that I was changing shoes and I left them in the château 15 minutes away, I planned to walk but I saw a golf cart and one of the valets let me take it. As I started to drive away I heard someone scream my name.. it was Lewis. He came running to the other side of the cart and got on. I started driving and asked where he wanted me to take him. He said "I want to go with you, I want to spend time with you for the last time".

Lewis's POV
As we approached the château I told her everything and how I missed her. She confessed she did too.

When we got inside I locked the door behind us and grabbed her and kissed her and she... kissed me back. She led me to the bedroom where rose petals and champagne were on the bed. She reached for the champagne and opened it. I asked if that was okay to do and she said they weren't staying here that they'd fly to the airport immediately after the wedding and all their stuff was in another room and that Marco doesn't even know about this room. As I poured the champagne she had left briefly and came back with a shorter dress for the party and new shoes also. She hung them on the door. I handed her the glass and we both drank. She grabbed my glass and put it on the nightstand along with hers.

Eztli: help me take off the dress I need to change
Lewis: your wish is my command

As he dress fell to her feet I grabbed her from behind and began kissing her neck, then took of her bra. She turned to face me and sat me on the bed she then climbed onto me and said it felt like old times. I smiled and told her let's do it once more in honor of the old times. She smiled and started kissing me. I don't know how long we were going but once we finished we heard the front door open and someone shout her name. We both saw each other and froze...

Eztli: grab your clothes quietly and go in the closet
Lewis: am i your dirty mistress now??
I laughed as I said that.
Eztli: shush just get in

Eztli yelled that she was changing. It was Marco.

Marco: you've been gone for almost an hour what took you so long
Eztli: i got undressed and took a nap sorry babe I'm getting changed right now
Marco: open the door so I can help you
Eztli: no way it's a surprise
Marco: ughhh find I'll wait in the living room

Eztli's POV

She let Lewis help her get changed and she helped him. They laughed quietly at the situation. They made a plan on how he would leave and take the gokf cart afterwards. Lewis watched her through the window as she left with Marco she turned back to look at him... teary eyed. That was the last moment she'd have with him and she hated herself for going so long without him, but now she was married.

Marcos POV

As I drove I noticed Eztli smelled like mens cologne. She smelled so familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

The rest of the night was fun. As we said our goodbyes as we left for the airport we bumped into Lewis and his girlfriend. We all hugged goodbye and that's when I smelled that familiar sent of cologne that Eztli smelled of.

Her skin smelled like cologne not her dress.

Eztli's POV

I saw Marco put it together right before my eyes as we hugged Lewis and Lucia goodbye.

Lewis POV

Eztli glanced at me worried... Marco knew.

I went yesterday to Quali & can I say it was the best thing everrrr I loved it!!! I'm not going today for sprint shootout or sprint race as I am exhausted from yesterday. Traffic was horrible and Siri took me down some backroads in the middle of nowhere which was terrifying but I made it home safe and sound. I will be going tomorrow for race day though.
