🎶Mosè- Perfetti Sconosciuti

Well... Maybe arriving at the paddock with two children in a stroller wasn't the most brilliant idea that little Verstappen had come up with.
All the technicians and mechanics looked at her as if she were an alien and had never seen her there.

<<Lyssieeee!>> Lando and Melissa approached her, smiling under their masks <<Hey guys! Finally someone who doesn't look at me like I'm crazy>> the blonde giggled, while the other two greeted the twins <<What are these little ones doing here? Who's looking at them while you work?>> the brunette asked her. She was already wearing her orange work overalls and her dark hair was tied in a bun

<<There's Arthur in the hospitality... I don't know how he managed to convince them to stay there... Maybe due to the fact that he's part of the Ferrari Driver Academy... Or maybe because he's Charles' brother...>> she replied, starting to make suppositions after suppositions <<Ok... We understand>> the Briton chuckled.

They continued to talk - always keeping their distance - until Alyssa noticed a detail she hadn't seen before: the intertwined hands of the driver and the mechanic <<But... Do you two have to tell me something?>> she winked, making her friends blush <<Well... Basically...>> Melissa began, however, seeing that she couldn't stand it and was hiding more and more on his chest, Lando decided to intervene <<We went out a few times.. It went well... And now we're together>> he smiled at the end, holding his girlfriend close, who was blushing more every minute

<<I'm so happy for you guys! I knew it would happen sooner or later! I would hug you, but unfortunately we can't because of this virus so... Let my congratulations suffice>> they burst into general laughter which also involved Jules and Mya a little <<Thank you! Now we have to go. See you later right?>> <<Of course, Mel. See you later! Great! I'll take them to Arthur, explain a few things to him and then check the car with Jordan>> she reasoned aloud as she reached the Ferrari hospitality area, where Charles' brother was waiting for her.

<<Good afternoon Lyss! Why are you a little late?>> the dark-haired man asked when the girl arrived at his side, ready to check that everything was fine in car number 16 <<I left the children in the hospitality with Arthur... I don't know if you know him, he's Charles's younger brother>> she whispered to him , to prevent unwanted people from hearing it <,How long before the cars have to be on the track?>> she then said <<We have exactly 20 minutes to check that there is nothing abnormal>> <<Perfect! Just the time we needed. Come on, let's get to work!>>.

When the cars were brought onto the track, one in seventh place and the other in eleventh, the two mechanics could only hope that everything would go well. Not that there was anything wrong with the car though, the SF1000 was certainly not the best of the Ferraris that had raced in Formula 1.

<<But seriously, you and Xavier didn't have a honeymoon?!>> Alyssa and Jordan were telling each other something about their lives so as not to get bored - since they couldn't go anywhere other than the bathroom during the race -
<<Really. I had to work and they didn't give me holidays>> <<And where would you like to go?>> <<I've always wanted to visit Japan during the cherry blossom season>> and at that moment, the girl had an idea
<<Next spring you and your husband will be in Japan for a honeymoon, a little late>> <<But...>> <<I don't want to hear any objections. It's decided! I'll talk about it with Mattia later>> <<Thanks then Lyss. Thank you so much>> without being seen, the two hugged each other, smiling from under their masks.

Well... As the first race of the season after a long period of total stoppage, there was no shortage of twists and accidents. In the end, only 11 riders remained of the initial 20: Max, Daniel, Lance, Romain, Kevin, George, Kimi, Daniil and Alex - after a wonderful race - had to withdraw. The winner had been Valtteri and, surprisingly, Charles had come second with Lando behind.

Alyssa smiled, imagining Melissa's happiness as soon as she realized that her now boyfriend had gone to the podium for the first time in Formula 1. She was also sorry for her brother and the others, but she couldn't hide her happiness at seeing his beloved again on the podium.

After the non-ceremony, Alyssa hurriedly took off her work suit, remaining with the Ferrari t-shirt and black leggings, and then went to Arthur, accompanied by Jordan who was on the phone with Xavier.
They found the boy feeding Mya from the bottle and Jules giggling from the stroller at the funny faces his uncle made at him.

She couldn't resist and took a photo of him, thus making the three aware of their presence <<Hey Lyss! I can imagine you're very happy, aren't you?>> The youngest Leclerc had immediately noticed the radiant smile on the face of the mother of his niece and nephew <<Exactly! Oh, come here, mummy's baby!>> the little one was fussing in the stroller, forcing her to pick him up and cuddle him

<<You're a good mother>> the blond mused aloud, continuing to feed Mya <<And you're a wonderful uncle. It's the first time you've seen each other and they already adore you! Anyway... This is Jordan Smith, an old friend of mine who is now my assistant>> <<Much pleasure, Arthur Leclerc>> <<The pleasure is all mine>>.

<<Lyss, can I ask you a question?>> Leclerc asked at a certain point, a little hesitantly, when the children had fallen asleep. Receiving a nod in response, he continued <<You... You're going to tell Charles the truth sometime right?>> she stopped <<Lyss...>> <<And what should I tell him? Look, do you remember when we slept together when we were drunk and you, the next morning, told me to forget about what had happened because it was a mistake? Well, from there the two of them were born. Well yes, they are your children and not Alex's, as you thought!>> a terrified look was painted on the faces of his friends

<<WHAT?!>> shouted the very one who shouldn't have heard this speech <<Charles...>> Alyssa whispered, turning around, but unable to look him in the face <<How did you think of hiding something like that from me!>> <<You told me that it was a mistake for you! Then you were with Giada and, when I had gathered the courage to tell you after you had broken up, you got with Charlotte!>>

<<This is not a good reason to keep it from me! Then... What did you call them?>> <<Mya and... Jules>> <<Enough! After this, I don't want to hear anything about it anymore! You and I are just work colleagues. Don't ever speak to me again, unless it's for work purposes! I hope I made myself clear! Goodbye>> when he went out, he met Max and Daniel at the door, who had come to see the children, and he gave them a dirty look and then went out.

The two as soon as they entered catapulted themselves onto Verstappen who was silently crying on Arthur's shoulder while he held her close to him. Her brother immediately hugged her, sensing the situation, and then the girl actually let herself cry with loud sobs and pain.
