Unexpected love | Lewis Hamilton

Lewis pov: 

I was watching over some data with Bono as Stacie was with Toto, Susie, Kika and Kelly. I looked over and saw her laughing as Kika said something. I just put on my headphones again and tried to be focused, I couldn't be distracted this weekend. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. If I was gonna be completely honest I was a nervous wreck, I just had to stay focused and shut everything else out right now. Only until Sunday when it was all over.

After a good half an hour of looking over some data from last weekend I had to get to the press conference with Max, Danny, Charles and Carlos. My media manager Rosa came to me and we went together to the place where the conference was taking place, I saw Danny and Max who were standing there chatting. 

' Hi future 5 time world champ ' Danny said as he laughed.

I rolled my eyes at him as I laughed. 

' Hi to you too Danny and hi Max ' I said. 

' How are you feeling ' Max asked. 

' I am nervous but good '

we talked a bit more but then we had to get in for the press conference and after that I had to go and film a video for the Mercedes YouTube with Valtteri, after all that was done I went to my drivers room to get some time alone so I wouldn't go insane. 

As I was listening to music in my drivers room I heard someone knock on the door and I stood up and opened the door reluctantly, as I opened I saw Stacie standing there and I welcomed her in as she sat down on the couch there.

' What are you doing here? ' I asked 

' I just wanted to see how you are feeling ' she answered.

' I'm doing good ' 

' Are you sure about that?? ' 

' I said i'm good! ' I said angrily.

She just looked at me for a minute then she spoke.

' If you are nervous admit that to me I will understand but don't take it all out on me Lewis! I have been trying to understand how your feeling this past week but you refuse to speak to me about anything, how am I supposed to be there for you then! ' she yelled. 

' I don't want you to be there for me Anastasia! This all isn't real, have you forgotten that!! ' I yelled back at her.

The second those words left my mouth I regretted them. She looked at me with an ice cold look and I spoke again.

' Stacie wait. '

' No Lewis, your just mad so there's no reason for us to speak. When your ready to talk to me you will come ' she said calmly as she left.

I sat on the couch with my hands buried in my face, I couldn't stay like that for long because soon enough I had to do another media thing. Angela stayed with me for the rest of the day and I kept thinking about me and Anastasia's argument. I never wanted to fight with her or say those things to her because she was only trying to look out for me but I just got mad for no reason at all. I didn't know why I was mad, she hadn't done anything to me so why had I said all that to her?? I didn't know I was just not feeling like myself recently I was just so stressed. 

As I was walking in the paddock on my way to eat lunch I heard someone yell my name. As I turned around I saw Danny running to me, I smiled at him as he caught up with me. 

' Hi Lew Lew ' Danny said sarcastically 

' Hi Dan the man ' I said.

' Hey wanna eat lunch together? ' he asked.

' Sure, why not ' 

' Soo why was Anastasia walking around the paddock kinda mad '

' Oh, we had a fight ' I answered.

' What type of fight?? ' 

' I got mad because she kept asking if I was okay and I know I shouldn't have gotten mad but I was just so mad before I spoke to her so I took it out on her '

' Or maybe you just were scared of letting her close to you again because you don't wanna get hurt again ' Danny said.

' What do you mean? '

' I mean you got so hurt when she refused to speak to you again so now when you have a chance to get her back for life your too scared to take it Incase she won't stay '

I thought about it. Maybe Danny was right?

' Listen Lewis, she has tried all week but you have only pushed her away and I know she wants to at least be able to go back to being friends so you can co parent in peace. If you can't do it for Stacie do it for Ari '

For the rest of the lunch Max and Danny kept talking while I sat there thinking about what Danny said. He was right in one way, I was scared of letting Stacie close to me again. I couldn't go through that shit again. But what if this time was different?? what if this time was forever?? but then what if this was just another one of our happy for a while then everything go downhill. 

Suddenly I saw Stacie coming with Ari in her arms towards us with Kika, Heidi and Kelly. I smiled when I saw her and she handed me Ari.

 ' There are my girls ' I said smiling. 

' So now we are your girls? ' Stacie said.

' I am sorry, you were right ' I said as I pulled her waist and pulled her so she sat on my lap and I kissed her.

' Fine, I forgive you but don't act like an asshole ever again '

' I promise this time ' I said smiling.

We all sat there talking a bit more as me & Danny ate some and then we all went to go and do the last few things before we had to get back to the hotel, chill for an hour and then get ready to go out to dinner. I went to my last meetings then had a meeting with Valtteri, His engineer, Toto & Bono about the strategy for the rest of the weekend and after that I met up with Stacie, Kika and Ari.

' Hi love ' I said as I kissed her forehead.

' Hi, are you done?? ' she asked.

' Yeah, should we go back to the hotel? ' I asked her.

' Yeah sure, Kika had to go now anyway '

We both said goodbye to Kika then we headed with Ari to the car so we could drive back to the hotel. As we got to the hotel later on I fell on the bed and Stacie laughed as she went and put Ari in her crib then she laid down besides me and cuddled up close to me as we started watching tv for a little while and then we fell asleep like that before Ari started crying. She kissed my cheek before she sighed and went up to take care of Ari as I was gonna go back to sleep for a little while before we had to get ready. After a while I woke up by Stacie stroking my hair carefully. 

' Good Afternoon sleepy ' she said laughing softly. 

I looked in her beautiful dark brown eyes, her smile. 

' Good Afternoon beautiful ' I said with a smile.

She looked taken aback of what I said for a second but then she smiled as she went to the bathroom to take a shower before the dinner, I started picking out clothes for Ari and myself and when she came out of the shower I went to shower while she did her makeup and her hair. 

She was wearing a long sleeve, floor length dress with an open back and she did a French braid to top it off. She also took a pair of white sneakers with some silver jewellery. I looked at her as she started putting on Ari's matching dress and smiled at Ari, she fixed Ari's hair and after all that she took her white bag and Ari's stroller that she was gonna take and then we were on our way down to the lobby to meet the other drivers & other wags such as Max, Kelly, Danny, Heidi, Charles, Quinn, Isa, Carlos and Pierre & Kika.  

I looked back at Stacie as we were walking to the restaurant who was very close to the hotel and saw her laughing at something Kelly & Kika said. 

She was so beautiful, I was one lucky man.
