The Secret of Us // Oscar Piastri

14

It was Thursday morning, very early on Thursday morning, and she was currently running through the airport with Audrey and Rowan to make their flight because of course, they over slept. Casey let out a sight of relief when she sat down in her seat on the plane, again in the middle seat. That was until she realised she had to spend a 16 hours with Audrey and Rowan in and enclosed space. Maybe George was right, she should buy a private jet. It would probably be a lot less painful for her if she didn't have to fly with her two childish friends who picked something to squabble over every 5 minutes. To distract them from finding something to fight over, Casey put on a Scooby-Doo film. All three of them loved Scooby-Doo. When one of them was sick, they'd all get together and watch one of the films because it always cheered whoever was sick up. Audrey and Rowan had their heads leaned on Casey's shoulders. All three of them fell asleep like that and when they woke up, they only had 10 hours of their flight left.

Casey was just finishing up getting ready for dinner with her brother when here phone buzzed. It was a message from George.

Just leaving the track now.
I'll send you the address of the
restaurant x

Okay. Thank you. See you soon x

Casey had to make her own way to the restaurant since George was heading their from the track that he'd been at all day for media stuff. Not that was complaining, there weeds Ubers here so she'd just get one of them.
Audrey was also heading out for dinner, she was meeting Lando at a restaurant too. Casey had helped her pick a dress, but she'd ended up wearing the one Rowan picked out. Why Audrey even bothered asking her was something she could not understand.

She made her out of her hotel room and to the elevator. She'd already ordered an Uber and put in the address George gave her, so it was waiting for when got outside. Casey just put her head phones in and enjoyed the car write, listening to one of the songs she'd began working on when she was in NewYork. Casey listened to her songs a lot in the early stages of making them, it helped her perfect them. She listen to them until she found nothing wrong with them. It sometimes drove her crazy, but most of the time worked.

It wasn't long before the Uber pulled up in front of the restaurant. Casey waved goodbye to the driver as she closed the door of the Uber and head towards the entrance of the restaurant. Casey got quite the shock when she saw Audrey stood in front of the table her brother was at, that almost half of the Formula 1 grid was actually at. "What is going on?" Casey asked she got closer to the table. "Oh, Lando just neglected to tell me that it wouldn't just me be and him for dinner." Audrey said, tilting her head at the brunette boy.
"Funny, George neglected to tell me the same thing."
Casey looked at George, who had his lips pressed together. "In our defence," Carlos began, his Spanish accent thick. "we didn't know you two were coming."

This only made Casey and Audrey stare at the boys even harder. "What?" Lando asked, throwing up his arms. "Yeah, we've got to have our fun somehow." George added.

"How is this fun?" Casey asked him.

"It's a surprise." Lando said.

"And now poor Rowan is left all alone back at the hotel when we're all out having dinner together." Audrey added and George and Lando looked at each-other.
"Oh, we forgot about him." Lando said."I'll message him." Audrey said as she sat down at the table across from Lando. "He still has time to get himself down here."

Casey took the seat beside Audrey, the one across from George. On the other side of Casey was Carlos who gave her a warm smile as she sat down. It was then that Casey saw Oscar, she wasn't sure how she hasn't before as he was sitting right beside George. He was looking back at her and he looked surprised to see her. Of course he was, he had no idea she was coming. The poor guy had been railroaded. And he now had to have dinner with the girl he was only supposed to have a fling with and never see again.
