My Brother's Teammate | Lando Norris

Sun and Sand

The morning sun cast a brilliant light over St Tropez, promising another perfect day. After a leisurely breakfast, the girls were excited about their plan to hire a boat for the day. They had booked a sleek, modern vessel with plenty of space to relax, and as they arrived at the marina, their anticipation was palpable.

The boat was everything they had hoped for; stylish and comfortable, with a spacious deck and a canopy for shade. They quickly settled in, spreading out their beach towels and arranging the picnic they had packed. The captain, a friendly local with a laid-back attitude, gave them a quick briefing before setting off.

As the boat glided away from the marina, the girls settled into their lounging spots, their sunglasses and sun hats protecting them from the midday sun. The Mediterranean Sea sparkled under the bright sky, and the gentle rocking of the boat was soothing.

Carmen stretched out on a sunbed, taking a deep breath. "This is absolutely perfect. I could get used to this."

Lily, sitting cross-legged on a lounge chair, grinned. "Right? I've never felt so relaxed."

Heidi poured herself a cocktail from the cooler. "Who knew that a day out on the water would be so much fun? This weather is just incredible."

Alexis smiled, taking a sip of her own cocktail. The sweet, fruity taste was refreshing, and she allowed herself to fully relax into the moment. "It really is. It's so nice to just enjoy each other's company and the beautiful scenery."

As they cruised along the coastline, the conversation flowed effortlessly. They talked about their favorite parts of the trip so far and what they were most looking forward to in the coming days.

"So, what's everyone's favourite part of this trip so far?" Heidi asked, looking around with a curious smile.

Carmen thought for a moment. "I think for me, it's today. There's something so freeing about being out on the water."

Lily nodded. "Definitely. The beaches have been amazing too."

Alexis, feeling content with the day's events, added, "The sunset last night was incredible. I've never seen colours like that before."

Heidi looked at Alexis with a warm smile. "Yeah, the sunsets here are something special. But I also really enjoyed our time at the beach club. It was so much fun dancing with you all."

The conversation shifted to other highlights of their trip, as they reminisced about the small things that had made their vacation memorable, from discovering hidden gems in the town to trying new foods and activities.

The girls spent the next few hours soaking up the sun, chatting about their lives and their relationships. They talked about their boyfriends and their various experiences, but Alexis kept her situation with Lando unknown, choosing to focus on the fun and relaxation of the day.

As they prepared to enjoy their packed picnic lunch, they spread out blankets on the deck and unpacked an assortment of delicious food; fresh sandwiches, crisp salads, and an assortment of fruits. The meal was simple but satisfying, and they ate with enthusiasm, laughing and sharing stories as they enjoyed the beautiful setting.

"I still can't believe how lucky we are with the weather," Heidi said, her voice carrying a hint of awe. "It feels like we're living in a dream."

Carmen leaned back, content. "I know. This trip has been everything I hoped for and more."

As the afternoon wore on, the boat anchored near a secluded cove, the crystal-clear water inviting them for a swim. The girls dove in, their laughter echoing across the water as they splashed and played. The coolness of the sea was a welcome relief from the sun, and they swam around, enjoying the refreshing break.
