❝ I feel very honoured to have a song written about me. ❞

Both the FP1 and FP2 are finished with Ferrari getting 1-2 and 1-3 setting expectations high for the rest of the weekend. "You were so awesome, Charles!" Calista fangirled over her cousin. Despite quiting a long time ago, her heart was always connected to Formula 1. "Thanks, Cal. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the practices." Charles replied and gave her a head pat. "Carlos, you did great too!" She turned to his teammate standing beside her dad. "Thank you, Calista. I was listening to your song through the radio." Carlos thanked her.

"Chère fille, we'll be staying here for quite a while. Why don't you get lunch with Arthur?" Emilio told his daughter realizing she hasn't had a proper meal since her breakfast was cut short. "Sure! As long as Arthur pays the bill!" Calista smirked. "Let's just use Charles' card." Arthur whispered to her but he was being cheeky and made sure his brother had heard him. "It's in my driver's room." Charles groaned knowing they'll still take it even if he disagreed.

"Ollie, wanna join us?" The young Leclerc turned to his fellow driver that was with some engineers analysing some data. "Hm? Where?" The british lad asked and Arthur nudged the girl to answer. "We're gonna have lunch outside." Calista nudged her cousin back, even more painful than he did. "Sure, I'll just finish this up in a sec'." He smiled at her before turning back to the screen he was looking at. Arthur noticed how flustered she suddenly became and mentally judged her for suddenly being so shy.

It didn't take Ollie that long to finish up, now the three were walking to the parking lot where Calista had parked her classic Ferrari red F40. "I'm gonna drive." Arthur offered but Calista quickly declined. "No way! It's my car, I'm gonna drive. Besides, I don't trust you with it." The two continued to bicker on who would be driving while Ollie was watching them with enthusiasm. He found it funny how the two cousins bantered and even took a video. "Shut up, Arthur. Like I said, it's my car."

"You literally just got your license a month ago. No way am I trusting you to drive around in a foreign country."

"We both know I'm an excellent driver."

"Yeah, says the person that crashed their first car. "

"Okay, that was years ago and I got really nervous." Seeing as their conversation wasn't really going anywhere, Ollie spoke up. "How about I drive?" The two Leclercs turned to the british lad who was still taking their video. "Delete that video- oh, don't. Send it to me, I'm gonna post it." Calista's switched from being snarky to cheeky. She handed the keys to the lad and opened the door to the passenger's seat. "Don't crash it, she'll go ballistic." Arthur patted his back and settled at the back seat.

Arthur squeezed through the middle of the driver's seat and the passenger's to turn on the radio which earned a glare from Calista. "Just turning it on, jeez." The older cousin rolled his eyes. "Okay! The next song request- oohh this is interesting. I first listened to this song just a few days after it was released. I got curious because it recieved a lot of hype and yesterday the singer did a podcast telling the reason behind writing this song-" The radio host said then the intro of the song started playing. Calista at first didn't recognize her voice but when the first line came out she hurriedly turned the radio off. Arthur laughed realizing it was her song that was playing. "Turn it back on, I like that track." He teased as he reached for the radio once more but Calista only smacked his hand away. Ollie laughed this time after holding it in when Calista turned the radio off.
"Don't laugh at me or you're out rolling on the road." Calista threatened. His laugh wasn't really helping her blush go away, in fact it made her even more red. Ollie glanced at her quickly and saw her flustered state. 'Cute' he thought.

The ride to the restaurant wasn't that long but due to the traffic caused by the Grand Prix, they were taking longer than expected. "Can you at least give me the aux?" Arthur asked the girl. "I don't have an aux, use the bluetooth instead." She replied. Once he hd set his phone up, he played another song of Calista's. 'People Watching'.

That wasn't funny but she laughed so hard, she almost cried

They're counting months they've been together, almost 49

He's making fun of how she acted 'round the holidays

She wears a ring, but they tell people that they're not engaged

This time, she didn't protest and let her cousin be. She didn't mind him playing any of her songs infront of Ollie except 'Pretty Boy'. "When are you going to Chelmsford?" Arthur asked not mentioning who he was pertaining to.

"I don't know, Mom's been busy lately."

"I'm not sure yet."

Both of them answered. "Oh, my bad. I meant Calista." The Monegasque boy at the back said. "You're Mom's in Chelmsford?" Ollie asked the girl beside him. "Yeah, it's her hometown and she went back there after my 18th to teach Mechanical Engineering and to look after my grandma." She replied. "So you're half british?" Ollie asked once more. "Yeah, but I grew up in Monaco. I only spend vacations at Chelmsford but most of the time I'd be traveling with my Dad for the Grand Prix." She answered. "There was this one time she was at Chelmsford, she and her cousins were outside on their bikes but she didn't know how to ride one. She called us later on and cried." Arthur continued with his teasing as he exposed Calista. "It's not my fault no one taught me!" She retorted making Ollie laugh. "You know how to drive a kart but not a bike?" Her cousin replied. "You see what I have to deal with? If only you were as nice as Lorenzo." She looked at Ollie while pointing at the lad at the back.
