".... Don't joke... the 8th title is on its way... trust me..."

"Lewis, come on man didn't you say that last year and the year before..." his long time friend Terence said.

" That is the reason I'm leaving Mercedes next year... I think moving to Ferrari will be a great move for me and it will boost my career.... things have changed at Mercedes... I just need to make sure that I'm always doing what's best for myself..." he said as he had a bottle of champagne brought to the table by a friend of his who had just entered the club and saw him.

"Look who it is!." Terence said. "Bella and Gigi..."
Both girls made their way to where Lewis was seated. He had dated both of them in his past, the relationships didn't last in fact they were more fun than anything else and now they were just very good friends.

" I thought we should come and take a drink with you before you head off to all these amazing countries" Bella said to him. "In fact when do we get our next invite to the paddock Lewis?" she added with a grin.

"I can get you passes any time you want, you just need to ask.. besides aren't you busy in LA for the fashion show?" he asked.

Gigi nodded. "Yes, isn't Truly going to be out there with Corel too?"

"yeah" He sighed "she is ultra stressed at the moment."

"trouble in paradise man?" Terence asked him, as a round of cocktails were delivered to the table to drink alongside the champagne.

he sighed and nodded. "it is just stressful right now, we argue more than we laugh... it is a little strenuous at the moment" he said, as he was honestly feeling the divide between himself and Truly.

"Why is she never at a race with you man?" Terence asked. "we never see her like we did Nicole, Shakira or Gigi" he added.

"she is a private person and I like that about her... even being the PA of a huge socialite and fashion celebrity like Corel, she still manages to keep her own self out of the limelight... we're just not seeing eye to eye at the moment and maybe that will change once the fashion event in LA is over" he shrugged.

"we and half the A list world has heard about the yacht party in Monaco in a few weeks... we are up for that" Bella smiled. "I can get you a lot of free promo products for the night"

"Yeah, I just though it would be cool to start the summer break from racing with a huge summer party when I was back at home in Monaco... and the fashion show will be over, so everyone will get to meet my baby girl..." he smiled.

One of his security headed over to him. "Sir Lewis... the jet is ready for you... the car is outside when you're ready to leave"

He nodded. "thanks" he finished his champagne. "so this is where I love you and leave you people... I have to get into Europe by early morning I have a race brief in Spain at noon tomorrow" Bella and Gigi gave him a hug and Terence dapped him.

Lewis headed out to the waiting SUV. He had a home in the hills of LA, an apartment in New York, a love pad in Hawaii, an apartment and yacht in Monaco, a town house in the UK and a private jet. It was clear to see that a check of between 50 - 65 million per year had gotten him everything he could possibly want and more. Lewis now also owned an american football team, a film production company, his own recording studio and a string of vegan restaurants. One thing he was good at was investing his money and not blowing it.

He had been very used to this lavish life since he became an F1 driver in 2007. He skyrocketed to fame and all of his very high profile relationships had been widely documented. In fact the only one that the world new less about was Truly and for the first time in his time dating as an F1 driver, he found being with someone who was not in the media spotlight refreshing and enjoyable. He really did mean it when he said that he wanted to settle down and have kids with her too.

As he drove towards the airport, he remembered how life used to be for him as a kid growing up near London in the UK.. and how it had changed to the point he didn't even recognise his childhood life.

His jet stood before him, his friends who also now acted as his security met him there. He got out of the SUV and boarded the lavish jet. His in flight staff saw to his every need and he sat back to rest before he arrived in Spain ahead of the race. he looked at his cell and he called Truly.

"Hello Mr Hamilton" she said picking up. "to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I was just thinking about you... I hate fighting with you but it is all that we seem to do lately"

 I hate fighting with you but it is all that we seem to do lately"

"I feel the same... I just need you to understand I am 24, my career is just picking up, kids are not out of the equation for me completely... but I need another 2 or 3 years at least" she said.

"lets not talk about this now... I don't want to end this call on a bad note too...

"so, in other words you don't want to hear what I've got to say... unless it is what you wanna hear... you know what Lewis, you do you, I'll speak to you in a  couple of days she said and ended the call.

Lewis sighed heavily and he shook his head. It felt like no matter what right now they could not get on an even keel with one another. He he picked up his cell scrolled through his own social media and looked at is DMs from friends of his, he generally ignored the fans and the naked pics of girls claiming they wanted his baby's and to marry him. He then found himself stalking Truly's social pages, he felt as if he would find out more about her from here than in their together lives in person. As he looked at her pics he saw how beautiful she was, he knew why he loved her, he just wanted things between them to be better.

--

Truly was feeling a little miffed by Lewis on the phone, she never felt like he listened to her. She had been busy working and packing for Atlanta and to hear his voice on the phone when she didn't expect it was what she needed. But for the arguments to then begin again just because she wanted to know that they were on the same page made her feel deflated and like they were getting nowhere.

She snuggled down in their bed, taking out her phone she scrolled through Lewis's social media. The need to be able to communicate better together was most definitely evident on both sides and the lack of was hurting their relationship immensely.
