Chapter 18 : Saturday Morning

(Faith's POV)

As I woke up and turned, I noticed Lando was not in bed. I got up slowly as I heard him open the bathroom door. "Good morning, darling." He said as he came over and kissed me. I didn't want to let go. I sat down on the bed as he was already on the bed trying to take over the kiss. He pinned me down to the bed as I heard his breath shiver down my body. "You know you wouldn't win this fight, darling." He said as he kissed my neck gently. I slowly put my hands through his hair as he slowly got up and smiled. "Come on, you need to get ready." He told me as I had now noticed he was ready for the day. Today was the Sprint race and the Qualifying for the actual race.

We both got up as I heard a knock on our door. I opened it as I saw Charles with a gucci make up bag. "Faith, sorry to wake you up but you're good at makeup right?" He said in the fastest voice. "Yes, of course, what's wrong?" I asked him as I opened the door for him to get inside. "I may have given Monique a hickey last night and she didn't have enough makeup so I went this morning and bought her this foundation and colour corrector, is it good?" He said as he handed me the bag.

It was actually gucci makeup. I looked up at the Monegasque as I asked him how much it was. "Only €200, it's nothing." He said as I was stunned. I grew up in a place where money was something valued. Seeing my bestfriend's man get her something like that and not worry about the money made me so happy. I told him it was the right colour corrector as he thanked me and left the room.

"Looks like we are the only ones who didn't have much fun last night." Lando told me as I saw him close to me. His eyes were glowing in the morning sun. His curls were more curled. Everything looked gorgeous about the man. I gently wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him. We made out for some minutes as we stopped suddenly and felt ourselves smile. "You're the death of me, Faith Mercieca. I mean it." He said as I kissed his neck and hugged him. I told him it was better to get dressed as he let go of me slowly. I walked over to the wardrobe and thought of what I should wear. I grabbed my McLaren hat as I wore a simple black leather jeans with a black tube top. I felt Lando behind me as he asked me if he could help me get dressed.

God that was hot. Even the accent is hitting me today. I got dressed as he helped me put on my sneakers as I was sat on the bed. I went to do my makeup as I went to the bathroom whilst with the hat in my hand. "Wearing the hat, huh? New luck charm." He said as he smiled through the mirror whilst next to the door. "Yep! You deserve it so, why not?" I replied as he smirked. "I'm going to get breakfast ready, what do you want, darling?" He said as I asked him for just a coffee. He smiled as he turned around, and went out. I got ready quickly as I finished my mascara and went out.

"Good morning, Faith!" Leah told me as I saw her in the most gorgeous blue sundress. "Good morning, miss blue! That sundress is stunning!" I said as I asked her to twirl. As she was twirling and laughing, I saw how Carlos was looked at her from the kitchen door. He was definitely in love. It was adorable, really. Both of us went over to the kitchen as we sat down waiting for Charles and Monique. "What's taking the others so long?" Carlos asked as I looked over to Lando, still making my coffee, smirking and laughing. I told Carlos and Leah to come close just in case one of them would come.

"Charles gave Monique a hickey and she's trying to cover it up with makeup, Charles went to buy her gucci makeup colour corrector and foundation just so she had enough product." I said as I saw Leah's mouth drop. "Woahhhh, someone's in love." Carlos said as he laughed with Lando and high fived him. Leah said that they should get together already as we all agreed in laughter. "I can't blame them, they've only known each other for 2 weeks, taking their time is the right thing to do, unlike both of our couples that instantly got together." Lando said as he handed the coffee to me and sat down. I agreed as Leah instantly replied back. "We all got together with our couples, because we knew we were right for each other." She said as I also agreed with her. Carlos instantly shushed us as I saw Charles walking into the room.

"Good morning, gucci guy." Lando said as I hit his arm. He instantly turned to me and gave me a look with the meaning "what's that for?". "Good morning to you too, Lando. How did you all sleep?" He asked as we all said that we slept well. I wondered that if Monique had gotten the hickey, what had happened between them. I asked him if Monique was okay, as he told me she was still getting ready. Me and Leah walked over to their room and opened the door slowly.

"Charles, I swear, I'll kill you after last night...." She said as we saw her with a foundation brush in her right arm. Her hair was half down and half up in a ponytail. She was wearing a gorgeous red mini skirt with a black cropped shirt, with black boots along with a red small bag, her hat was already in place ready. "Do you need help?" I said as I laughed and went over to her and grabbed the brush. "Look up." I said as Monique listened to my instructions and looked in the direction. I dabbed slowly as I added a bit of colour corrector and added more foundation. Leah stood close as she asked Monique what had happened.

"Can you not tell anyone this? Apart from Hosea, of course." She asked as both me and Leah looked at each other. "Yesterday night, we made out, for a long time and he may or may not have marked me on my neck." Monique said as Leah replied back instantly. "I definitely didn't notice!" I finished the covering as I told her what Charles had done earlier. We decided to go to the kitchen and continue breakfast. As we made our way, I sat back down near Lando as Leah did next to Carlos. I kept looking at Monique as I saw her go near Charles. He winked at her and said "Good morning, ma chéri."

(Carlos' POV)

I continued to talking with Lando as I put my hand around Leah's left thigh as I felt her slowly moving. She was uncomfortable. I removed my hand slowly as I felt her hand placing mine back. That same moment, I felt her whisper in my ear. "Your hand belongs there." She said as I froze. I felt her smile as I zoomed out and then continued talking to Lando. As Charles and Monique joined us, my phone rang again. It was Ana. I looked at Leah as I grabbed the phone and got up from my chair. I felt Leah grab my arm as we went into our room.

Ana : Hola Carlos! You said you needed to talk to me?

Carlos : Hola! Your on speaker and there's Leah with me, in fact yes I needed to talk to you.

Leah : Hello Ana!

Ana : Hi!

Carlos : Are you actually giving up the baby? Please don't.

Ana : I honestly don't care what mama says, I am keeping the baby for sure.

Carlos and Leah : Thank god.

Ana : Dios mio, you thought I would give it up? Come on, you know Rodrigo would hate me for that.

Carlos : Mama called me yesterday saying you would have to give the baby up, I got angry and screamed at her. It's actually the reason I called, of course.

Leah : We need to go, race starts in an hour Carlos.

Ana : Right! You have the race to get to, I'll watch it, good luck. Adios!

Carlos : Adios!

Leah : Bye Ana!

     I was relieved. Thank god the baby wouldn't be taken away. If mama would had forced her, I actually would've taken to baby since I am over that god damn 'over 27' age rule. I couldn't tell Leah that though. We went out as we saw everyone waiting for us. "My sister is having a baby!" I said as they all looked surprised in a happy way. "No way, Ana? She's the innocent one! And before you? Damn." Lando told me as I grabbed his ear and held it. I saw Charles try and help Lando as Leah gave me a look so I had to stop. We all went out and took our cars. We told each other that we would meet there as I opened my Ferrari door for Leah.
