Lewis' POV

"Why didn't you wake me up? Its so late already!" Elaine appeared in the kitchen and went straight to get a piece of fruit for breakfast. Her breakfasts were something to improve that's for sure.

"It's just ten in the morning" I say after looking at my watch.

"Late"

"Baby I've seen you wake up almost at lunch time" Several times, I save myself from saying.

"That's only when I'm jetlagged" She justified herself.

"Elaine, the last time I tried to wake you up you threw me a pillow, it was nine in the morning and we were at home, without jetlag" She took a bite of the apple she had just washed, leaning on the kitchen table, not even sitting down to eat it.

"You're supposed to be my biggest supporter, I don't see you supporting me right now" She said after swallowing a bite.

"It's okay, you can get up whenever you want...why so rushed today?" I question her.

"I wanted to go paint a little in the morning so then we could have the afternoon free" She answered.

"Can I go?" I ask, I haven't been there in forever.

"Don't you have to train?" She pointed at me and I looked down at my workout clothes.

"Maybe...but I could always skip it" She threw the apple core into the trash and shook her head.

"You won't, Angela would kill you" She reasoned, the Imola race being just a week from now "Besides, whenever you come I don't get any work done"

"So now I'm the cause of your procrastination?" She rolled her eyes at my question.

"No, you're the cause of my distractions, you ask many questions" I approached where she was and surrounded her waist, she resting her hands on my chest.

"I'm just curious" It's fun to see her there, in her element, I can't help but want to know every detail of what's going through her head while we're there.

"And I love answering to all of them, so let me try to finish everything up before lunch so we can do something fun in the afternoon" I looked down at her with a grin.

"Something fun you say?"

"Get your head out of the gutter Hamilton, I was talking about watching a film or going out" She hit my chest and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure you were" I teased her.

"I'm leaving, I don't feel supported in this household" She left the kitchen, probably heading to the bedroom to change and go to the study.

"They called Ela, they say you forgot to pick up your Oscar for best dramatic performance!" I shout after her.

"I hate you!" She shouts back at me.

"Keep telling yourself that!" While she was changing I prepared her some more breakfast, I knew that once she got there she wouldn't even notice the time and she would probably eat late "I made you some coffee to go, a sandwich too" I tell her once she was already clothed and ready to go.
