— Carlos POV —

I wasn't completely happy with where I qualified, but we knew it was going to be a hard weekend due to all the rain.

I go to my drivers room to change my clothes and take a quick shower. I have to be in the media for some interviews as well. So when I leave the shower I go straight there. Then off course I also have to go debrief.

After several hours I can finally have some time for myself. I check my phone and see a message from Ella, it's a congratulations for my qualifying spot.
I also noticed that she posted a new picture, that girl is living her life. God what I wouldn't give to be in a jacuzzi with her. The things is would like to do with her.

I decide to sent her a text back, not really sure if she is still awake after drinking an entire bottle of alcohol.

———————————————————————————

Thanks Ella, bit disappointed.
I see my bad result didn't stop
you from celebrating 😏

Oh Carlos you have no idea,
did you know we have
a room that spins?

And I am celebrating P2
for my favourite driver 🤓

Wauw, I'm not even your
favourite of the team. Harsh!

Are you okay? Please drink a
lot of water and rest.
I want you in the front
row for our interviews
tomorrow. So be fresh and
well rested by then!

What we just had our pre party
drink! We are not going
to sleep now. Getting ready
to leave now so
we can dance all night 🥰

———————————————————————————
I feel extremely frustrated with Ella's latest message. I don't want to think about what could happen tonight. She clearly already had a lot to drink and by the looks of her message she wasn't planning on stopping. I just want to go meet her and drag her with me. But I have to be on the track early tomorrow for our interview.

I decide Ella is a grown woman who can take perfectly care of herself. I just scroll on my phone for a while and call my parents for some catching up.
After an hour on the phone I check instagram again, Ella was tagged in a picture. I instantly check it out.

Lottie_prottie @Ella_Verhaegen living her best life, got to keep the boys away from her. Or do I 😏

~landonorris seems like one hell of a party, enjoy 🧡
~lottie_prottie feeling very single over here, when my girly has a pool of men surrounding her 🤨

The comments under the post aren't very reassuring, Lottie put the location on the post. So if I wanted I could go there and grab Ella away. My mind is going crazy.

'Fuck it, i'm going to get her', I grab a hoodie trying to fit in and make my way to the party. It's just a 5 min walk, so hopefully in time to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.

When I arrive I scan the room for Ella, I spot her dancing with Lottie. Thank god, the post might just have been a joke of Lottie. I plan on leaving again when I see two men approaching them, with drinks in their hands. They seem to already know the boys, since they all start dancing together. They guy whispers something in her ear that makes her laugh, what I wouldn't give to be able to make her laugh like that.

I notice the guy leaning closer to Ella, she is totally oblivious to what is about to happen. I decide that enough is enough, so I run over to her gently taking her arm.
'Hi, what about we go out for some fresh air?'
