Unexpected love | Carlos Sainz Jr.

Chapter 5

                                  — Carlos POV—

I was just about to enter my hotelroom, when I heard the sound of the elevator door. Wondering who it was, I looked over. I saw two bodies entangled leaving the elevator, when looking closer I saw it was one of our mechanics Tom together with a brown haired girl, the way she was giggling made it clear to me that she was not completely sober.

I didn't want to look like a creep so I quietly went into my bedroom. I was going to bed early since I wanted to be well rested for the practice sessions tomorrow. In bed I just couldn't stop thinking about this girl. She looked so innocent and Tom doesn't have the best track record when it comes to girls.

I knew I just couldn't burst in his room to stop what was going on. So I was thinking of an excuse that would make sure Tom was busy for several hours this evening. An idea came to me, some mechanics were working on my car, not everybody was needed so that is why Tom was able to go out.

Tom wouldn't question me if I said he was needed at the track. I quickly got dressed and went over to his room, I knocked on the door. I waited for some time but no response. I knocked again and called out for Tom. After some time the door went open, Tom didn't have his shirt on and I saw a visible hickey in his neck.

First thing on my mind was jealousy, I didn't know where this feeling was coming from. But I just wanted it to be me that got the hickey of the brown hair girl. To have someone so innocent, I pushed to thought out of my mind and let Tom know he was needed and I wouldn't join him.

The door closed again and I couldn't just leave without knowing if she left his room safely. I waited in the hallway to see her leave. The door went open and I heard the girl saying her goodbye's, she wished our team good luck. It warmed my hearth realising she wasn't necessarily congratulating me. Tom asked for her number, again my heart jumped when she declined. Her voice clearly containing regret of what happened in that room. I was so happy that I decided to intervene.

She stept out of his room and I tried to look busy in case she would check the hallway and see me standing there. Without looking she went into the elevator and I was happy to see her leave safely.

Then my mind wondered again, how would she go to her house of wherever she was staying. So I jammed my hand between the closing doors to join her in the elevator
