second chances ~ ollie bearman (2)

part 35

a few weeks later...

it's safe to say the last five weeks have been very busy. not only had i won another race, and gotten a podium, but i had been non stop with interviews, events and being at aston martin. and therapy sessions. i think ollie and kimi were both relieved and surprised when i agreed to them.

but because of that, i've barely been home. well, home in milton keynes. i've spent a lot more time back in london that i had hoped. other than at races, ive only really seen ollie's face over facetime. and even at races ive been incredibly busy.

the fact is, ive been missing him a lot. but, in just 10 minutes, ill be back in milton keynes, with ollie. tonight at 3 in the morning, we fly to miami to celebrate his birthday there. and then in three days, the racing weekend begins.

ollie 🫶🏼

how far are you??
i can't wait to see you again ❤️

5 minutes!!
i've missed you so much i can't wait to see you

i'm already waiting outside
black taxi?

no, it's white
three streets away

as soon as the car pulls to a stop, i thank the driver and climb out, getting my bags outs and the taxi drives away. before i turn around, i feel two strong arms around my waist and a head resting on my shoulder.

i turn around and wrap my arms around him in return, his grip tightening ever so slightly on me.

"hey." i say, happy to be back with ollie.

"god, i've missed you so much." he says, lifting my feet of the ground.

"i missed you more." i say, smiling up at him.

"i highly doubt that." he replies, laughing.

"oh really." i say, before kissing him.

"yeah."

"come on, let's go to the apartment. i still need to pack."i say, pulling away from him to grab my suitcase and bag, whilst ollie grabs my other two bags.

"honestly, how do you travel with so much stuff?" he says as we enter the elevator.

"with difficulty. it's hard to travel, and i never have enough clothes!" i complain.

"well, you should be more like me." he says and i laugh a little.

"i could never travel like that. oh my god, did my clothes arrive?" i ask.

"yes, don't worry. i put them all together for you on the table."

"thank god for that. you're all packed right?" i say, looking at my watch and realising we left for the airport in three hours and i hadn't packed anything.

"yes! listen, calm down okay? we won't be late for the flight." he replies, picking up some of the bags as we walk out of the elevator.

"i'm sorry, it's just been a stressful few days." i say, as we walk into our apartment.

"i know, honestly i don't know how you do it." he says, laughing before putting the bags down and pulling me into his arms, resting his head on top of mine.

"will you tell me what we are doing on my birthday yet?"

"no! you can wait two days." i say, pulling away to look at his face.

"not even a hint?"

"okay fine.."

"really?"

"yeah, it's in miami." i say, laughing a little before pulling away from him and heading to the towering pile of packages i had ordered as i hear ollie laugh behind me.

"your bringing all of this with you?" he asks, placing his hands on my shoulder.

"no, it's mostly outfits for the aston martin dinner, i have no idea what i'm going to wear."

"ah right. the one they won't let me come too."

"yeah... i'm sorry baby. i can't take anyone in the grid." i say, placing my hand on his.

"don't worry, it's understandable. i just don't want you to go alone."

"i'll find someone, but that's a problem for after i come home. right now's problem, is packing for miami."

"i'll unpack your suitcase and you find clothes?"

"sure."

two hours later i was thankfully all packed. without ollie helping i wouldn't have done it that fast, and i would have most definitely been late for the plane.

but i was exhausted and all i wanted to do was sleep as it was getting to 11pm at night. we hadn't even eaten yet as we were tidying up all my clothes and putting our bags near the front door.

"i'm tired." i complain, whilst resting my head on ollie's chest.

"why won't you go to sleep then?" he replies, his arm around me.

"because what if you fall asleep too?"

"i won't."

"promise?"

"i promise, now get some sleep okay? you must be exhausted."

"yeah." i reply, before drifting off to sleep.

ollie's pov:

i was just scrolling through my phone on tiktok to pass time, when i couldn't help but begin to watch angel sleep on my chest. she is so gorgeous, easily the most beautiful girl in the world.

she just looks so... perfect. in my hoodie, my arms, on my chest. my girl.

there is nothing i wouldn't do for her. i would choose her over everything, without even a second thought. i still think about the day we broke up, and i hate myself for that. i can't believe i would do something like that to her. but i will never, ever do it again.

"i love you." i whisper, stroking her hair gently before taking a photo of her on my phone, smiling at the image.

"one day, im going to marry you."
