Unexpected love | Carlos Sainz Jr.

Chapter 4

— Ella POV—

We kept silent, hoping the person on the other side would leave. Unfortunately, again loud knocks were heard, the person on the other side was also becoming impatient and screamed: 'Vamos Tom, I saw you arriving in your room. We have an emergency and this has to be fixed by tomorrow.'

I looked at Tom with a questioning look, ' I thought you were here to watch the race? Why does anybody need you to fix something?' I questioned.
Tom gave me a small smile, ' I said I was here for the race, I never said I was here to watch it. I am actually part of the ferrari team. So sorry love, as much as I want, work comes first this weekend. I don't want to get fired.'

I couldn't believe what I just heard, did I almost shared the bed with a Ferrari member, I felt like a bad groupie. I felt the effects of the alcohol wearing off. 'No worries, I never asked any further, I will get dressed so you can leave as well.' I started to gather my clothes and started to get dressed again.

Tom was opening the door to be able to let the person on the other side know that he was getting ready. Still with his bare chest and only his pants on he opened the door a little. ' Yes mister impatient I am getting dressed and will catch up in the lobby.' I heard a snicker from the mystery person, ' try to cover up the hickey or everybody will know what you were just doing. I will not join you, you can just go to the track and check with the other mechanics that are already working.'

Tom closed the door with a red face, he looked like a little boy who just got scolded by his mother. I had to be honest, with the alcohol leaving my body, so was my attraction to the person standing before me. I was now fully clothed and ready to leave. ' So Tom, thanks for the lovely evening, see you around and I hope you have a good weekend. I will be rooting for the red team.' I walked to the door and openend it slightly, until I was stopped by Tom grabbing my arm.

'If you want we can meet again tomorrow and continue what we started. Maybe you can give me your phone number and we can meet up.' Tom said. I was thinking about just giving him my number and letting him down easy with a text or just being honest and stopping this now.

I decided to go for the direct approach, I kindly said:' Tom, I really liked this evening but I don't think we should meet again. Have a good weekend bye' with that I walked trough the door. I didn't have to look in the hallway to find the elevator, since it was located just over Tom's room.

I walked into the elevator and pushed the button of the ground level and waited for the doors to close. I relaxed against the wall of the elevator when I saw the doors closing, I looked at the ground while sighing. Until a hand between the door made it open again.
