Ashley POV
I sat on my living room couch. After shopping everyone was tired and so we decided we'd crash at my house. The guys loved hanging out here and so they were all on it. I was pacing on my balcony with a few papers in my hands which contained the data about the new car.
I was looking through it walking when I felt someone looking at me. I looked around to see if anyone was around when a silhouette caught my attention. Standing in front of my gate looking straight at me.
And from what I can see, I was pretty sure it was the same man I met today who handed me the envelope. A bit of fear crept inside of me. I swiftly turned around and looked for my bag.
I found it under my clothes and took it. Put my hand in and searched for the envelope. Got hold of it and looked at it again.
I slowly opened it to see what was inside. The content felt like a photo. I paid more attention and looked at it. It was my photos. What caught my breath was it was not the official photos. It had a few personal ones. They looked like they were taken while I was alone in various hotel rooms when we were racing.
There was also a necklace inside and I immediately recognized it. It was my mom's which she gave me before she died.
I immediately got up and opened my cupboard looking for it. I soon found the box which had the words written on it in my mother's handwriting. I opened it and looked for the chain. It was not there. I had it there always. How did he get hold of it?
A sense of fear washed through me. Does this mean he has been here in my room? How could he?
I stood there trying to think of any possibility. I walked to the balcony again and looked out for the man but he was not there.
That was when I felt a hand on my back and a scream erupted from my mouth. "Hey...Hey. It's alright. It's just us" I heard Lando. I turned around and found Lando and George.
"You idiots" I cursed them. Lando started to laugh. "Since when did you become this panic-stricken" he asked laughing.
"Since people started crawling on my back, you Muppet" I rambled.
"What happened? Did you want something?" I asked them.
"We came to ask you if you are coming with us tomorrow to George's," Lando said. I looked at the Mercedes driver.
"Mum, Dad Benjy, and Cara all are visiting. I thought it would be nice to have you, Lando and Alex. Just like old times" George said. I was still breathing a bit heavily with the sudden incidents.
"I...I think I have a meeting with the team" I said.
"Really? without Alex?" Lando asked raising his eyebrows. "Of course not. It's about the F1 academy driver we are trying to connect" I explained.
"Come one. You can postpone. One day." Lando pleaded. I looked between the two men. "Mum and Dad wanted to meet you. They feel it's been a long time" George said with sincere eyes.
I was indeed close to their family. "I'll tell them some other time," George said. I signed. "No. No. Of course, I'll meet them. I..I had something else on my mind" I said.
"You sure?' he asked again.
'Yes. Yes." I assured again. "I'll inform Alex then," Lando said smiling, and ran downstairs. George looked at me intently.
"I... I am sorry. I had something on my mind, I-"
"Was it the closet?" he asked. "Cause of it is, I am sorr-"
"No. No George. Please. There is nothing there to apologize for. We know what we felt. It's just..I...I have to think about it" I said. He gave a short single nod.
