1st July 2020:
"Do you think people would notice if I got a room at the hotel with Osc?" Althea asks her sister and Lance as they sit at the back of the private Jet. "Yeah, you have eyes on you twenty-four seven. Outside and inside the hotel." Lance replies. "Shit on it." Althea yawns. "We are going to have so much fun in Austria." Amelie nods. "I need to know your predictions for this race." Lance looks at the sisters.
"You're going to DNF." Althea looks at Lance. "Excuse me." The Canadian raises an eyebrow. "Not my words. London messaged me." The girl shows the Racing Point driver. "Is she seriously still mad about me being your man of honour?" The man scoffed. "Who's man of honour?" One of the flight attendants asks. "He was mine." Althea nods. The flight attendant's eyes widen.
"It's not like it's a secret I literally posted about my wedding." The youngest girl scoffed. "Who to?" The woman wonders. "Are you actually that nosy? You know I'm married that's enough information you need to know." Althea scoffed. "It's an infringement of my privacy. Stop sniffing where your nose doesn't belong." She adds. The flight attendant's face goes a bright red colour and walks away.
"What? She was being nosy." Althea shrugs when she looks at Lance and Amelie to see them shaking their heads at her. "And that was a rude way of doing it. Be nicer next time. Just be like no one knows, and no one will know." Amelie shrugs. "That was rude as well, what the fuck" Lance's eyes opened wide. "Well, how would you tell them?" The singer looks at the Canadian.
"I'm not telling people who he is. And I'd prefer it to stay that way, thank you." Lance acts out. "I'm sorry what!" Amelie laughs. "That 'thank you' felt vindictive, Lance." Althea puts her hand on her heart. "I don't think any of us are nice." Lance screws up his face. "We need Alex to give us a tutorial on how to be nicer to people." Amelie sighs. "I love Alex, but I love Lily more, I want Alex's girlfriend." Althea shakes her head.
"Might I remind you are literally married?" Lance points to the ring. "And? It's Lily, Os... Oswald won't mind. He'd understand." Althea's eyes widen as she glares at the flight attendant who's staring at her and the others. "If she doesn't look away I'm going to throw her off this plane." Althea rolls her eyes. "You just said, Oswald." Lance smiles. "Yeah, I can't say his real name." Althea shakes her head.
"What about Koala as a nickname? Because you like to call him that." Amelie suggests. "Woah, no because that just gives it away that he's Australian and it's kinda a dead giveaway." Althea shakes her head. "Okay, you going to keep his name as Oswald?" Lance raises an eyebrow. "No, his new name is Ozzie." Althea smiles content with the nickname for her husband.
"Ozzie it is," Lance says. "Oh my god, have you guys watched that new series on Netflix? Well, it came out like three months ago, but oh well." Althea shrugs. "I love the part where she told us the series name." Lance looks at Amelie. "I know right, very helpful." The singer nods before turning to look at her sister. "It's called Outerbanks," Althea tells them. "I've seen it when I'm browsing on Netflix but I've never actually watched it," Lance says.
"Yeah same, try and sell it to us," Amelie tells the girl. "Oh my god yeah. This will be so much fun." Lance smirks. "I hate being out on the spot." Althea huffs. "Yeah, well you see Althea you were so excited to ask us if we've watched it. And if you tell us about it Lance and I might want to watch it and we can discuss it together." The older girl explains. "Stop talking to me like I'm five years old." Althea scoffed.
"But it's about a group of kids. They live on an island where there are the Pogues and the Kooks. Pogues are poor, Kooks are rich. They hate one another, but they hear about treasure on a boat called the Royal Merchant. So they go and explore, the leader of the Pogues falls in love with the Kook princess as she helps him. And there's loads of hot people, the actresses and actors are so hot." Althea says.
"Who is in this cast?" Amelie raises her eyebrow. "Oh my god, here." Althea pulls her phone out and gets the cast list up before turning it to show her sister. Lance leans his head over the singer's shoulder to have a look at the cast list as well. "They are fit." Lance nods. "Especially that Madelyn Cline." Amelie laughs. "No, you've got someone else you are going to end up with." Althea points at her older sister.
"Nope, I'm not speaking to him." Amelie shakes her head. "Who?" Lance wonders. "Lando," Althea tells him. "What's happened between them two?" Lance wonders. "We used to date remember, Lance." Amelie turns to him. "Oh yes, I remember. Dick move you pulled by the way." Lance tells her. "Okay I needed to get away, I needed to do it in a better way than just leave in the middle of the night," Amelie says.
"No fucking shit Sherlock." Althea scoffed. "She's still buthurt over it." Amelie points at Althea. "Yeah, because it wasn't just you and Lando involved, it involved his little sister and his older brother. It also affected me majorly, he was my best friend and that all just almost disappeared." Althea huffs. "Okay, but you're still friends so that doesn't matter. And I'm working on it okay." Amelie tells her sister.
"Are you going to speak to him this weekend?" Althea leans forward. "Potentially, yeah. I need to discuss a few things with him. Because I'm trying to work on my communication skills. Milly said I need to start vocalising my thoughts because not everyone knows what I'm thinking." Amelie shrugs. "Ahh, Milly. The best therapist in the world. I would love to have her as mine, but I can't." Althea crosses her arms.
"Guys, seatbelts on, we are about to land." Lance's dad walks up to the group. "Okay, Mr Stroll." Althea smiles. "Althea, call me Lawrence, please. Mr Stroll, makes me look old." The man shakes his head. "I mean, that is a true statement dad, you do look old." Lance jokes. "Oh, Lance. Leave your dad alone." Amelie slaps the boy's arm. "Thank you for letting us join you, Lawrence." Amelie smiles at the man. "The pleasures all mine." The man nods before walking off to get his seat.
