Unexpected love | Carlos Sainz Jr.

Chapter 61

—POV Carlos —

I can't believe it I moved up to third place. Because of some technicality Lewis and Charles got disqualified and that means I move a spot up the ranking. 'Okay we have to go celebrate! What time do you have to get to the airport tomorrow?' Ella is looking at her phone, 'well we have to be at the airport at 6 in the morning. But I'm sure that Lottie wants to celebrate with Lando. So what we can do is we party, then at around 4 we have to get ready so we can leave the hotel around 5. We will just sleep on the plane!' I'm so happy Ella wants to do this for me. We go back to our hotel to get ready for the party.

We get to the party and clearly some people already had some drinks. We go over to the bar and I order us some tequila shots. 'Oh baby always dangerously to give me tequila!' Ella laughs at me, 'please make sure I don't do anything stupid tonight.' She gives me a little nudge. 'I will always protect you' I lean in to give her a small peck on the lips. We get some more shots, just to make sure I am tipsy enough to start dancing.

Ella grabs my hand, 'come on we had enough drinks let's dance!' She guides me towards Lottie and Lando to join them on the dance floor. I'm happy I can already feel the alcohol, I start dancing on the beat of the music. Ella dances close to me, she sways her hips seductively against me. I lean over so my lips are next to her ear, 'I'm going to miss you so much, I wish you could stay with me for the next races. I'm just sad you have to go back home later today.' She turns around to face me, 'I know babe, as soon as I get home I will try to find a job in f1. And who knows, maybe next year we will be together.' She says.

'I will ask Fred if he has a job for you if you like? I know everybody in the garage is such a great fan of you.' I just hope she doesn't mind me trying to help her. 'That would be great Carlos, but just ask okay, I don't want him to feel obligated to hire me. But just the chance would be appreciated.' She says leaning closer to me. She gives me a little peck on the lips, how I'm going to miss her. I place my hand on the back of her neck to keep her close to me. I deepen the kiss.

We keep on dancing and drinking for as long as we can. I was dreading the time she had to leave for the airport. Time was passing by, until the time had come to leave for the hotel. Because we both had been drinking I called a cab to take us back to the hotel.

Ella was running around in our hotel room. 'Omg remind me to never plan on getting ready to leave while drunk ever again!' She was clearly stressing out. 'Let me help pack and you check if you have all your documents for the airport.' I just wanted to unpack her bag and make her stay. But I couldn't do that. So I did my best to help her get ready in time.

After we pushed everything in her bags we went back to the taxi that was going to drive us to the airport. I didn't want to say goodbye just yet.
