Loving You | C.Leclerc

06

Theodore laughs in joy as he reads his computer. He has just woken from a nap and got himself a coffee when he was checking his emails. After getting drunk and suffering a horrible hangover, the last thing he was going to do was look at his bright ass computer. But now that he's rested he decided to do so. And he wished he did sooner.

Fucking McLaren sent him a request for some photos. And Theo couldn't be happier. He picked up his phone and clicked on Lando's contact.

Theo 🐻

OMG DID YOU ACTUALLY PUT A
GOOD WORD IN??!!!
I was joking when I said that!!

Lando 🇬🇧

What are you going
on about mate?

Theo 🐻
McLaren sent me an email!!!
Are u saying you didn't sweet talk
them?

Lando 🇬🇧
Nah mate. That's all
you.

So you're going to the next race?

Theo 🐻
Nah, I decided McLaren isn't enough
for me to photograph.

Of course I am!

Lando 🇬🇧
Can't wait to see you ☺️

-_-_-_-

As part of Theo's agreement he is allowed to bring one of his friends, who is paid for by whoever he is photographing for the time, but it's not just for fun. Theo is fearful that his back injury will act up, and he needs someone with him. He hates being alone when the pain comes. Plus, it's almost unbearable to drive with the injury acting up. For this race he brought Ella.

"I'm seriously about to kiss you!" Ella says happily as she hugs the male. Theo laughs and lets go of the girl. He can immediately tell she's put on makeup and a nice outfit to hopefully catch the attention of the driver. She's wearing a baggy shirt and baggy jeans, her bookbag lays on the counter next to her Monster energy drink. She seems more excited than Theo.

"Please don't." Theo laughs as she spins around, her curly hair flowing with the movement, despite being pulled in a ponytail. Theo stands ready to go in his stripped over shirt, his white tank top showing underneath. He has his camera bag and his computer bag, ready to go.

"I'm so excited! Like, ADHD excited! Do I look good? Do I because I don't want to look bad in front of the drivers." Theo watches as her eyes grow wide with realization. "Will I be able to meet Carlos Saniz?"

Theo laughs lightly. "I don't know. Maybe." He answers truthfully. He hopes to meet the driver one day. Ella gives Theo a small smile then fans her face with her hand.

"I think I'm going to pass out."

"Well you better not because we gotta go."

-_-_-_-

When the two arrived at the McLaren garage they were handed their passes, a jacket with the McLaren logo, and were allowed basically full access. Theo began to set up, just making sure his camera is ready as Ella sits next to him, watching everyone move through the garage.

Ella gripped Theodore in the middle of their peaceful silence which causes the male to look up from his camera. In the distance the two can see the McLaren drivers coming this way.

Ella has met Lando Norris before. It was at Theodore's 21st birthday at a random bar in London. She had previously never really cared for racing, until she realized how pretty the drivers are.  So when Lando Norris walked over to say hello, it wasn't to awkward.

"Ella, its been a minute." Lando says as he shakes her hand. She gives him her signature smile, but her eyes kept traveling to the other driver. "Oscar, this is Theodore and Ella. They're going to follow us around for a while." Lando jokes.

"You make it sound so bad." Theo says to the Brit. Oscar shakes Ella's hand and offers her a small smile. She shook his hand back with a wide smile, clearly showing her excitement.

Just as Lando said Theo basically followed him around until the race, and afterwards during their cool down. Still Ella was basically drooling over Oscar and almost died when Lando questioned if they were going to join for dinner with the other drivers. Theo was going to object, but Lando gave him a puppy eyes look. Theo let out a sigh then smiled.

"Fine."

A/n: I hate school so much

Anyways, I promise that Charles and
Theo will meet soon. I swear.

Enjoy~
