"Little Leclerc!" The familiar sound of my nickname lets me stop my walking and without even needing to turn around I know who it is. Only this voice manages to send a shiver down my spine, and I need to concentrate myself to keep a neutral face. Holding back the grin which wants to be plastered on my face because of him.

"Oh, hi Carlos." I greet the Ferrari driver friendly, try to act surprise but at the same time not too excited. Just neutral to let no questions come up. Carlos is in my life for some time now, first being the teammate of my best friend Lando and now racing alongside my brother. We talk for a bit, letting Lando join the conversation when he comes over and I am sure I managed this conversation just fine.

"Good luck for the race!" With these words Carlos says goodbye, places his hand on my shoulder for a moment and I am not ablet to keep my face straight this time. Feeling how my cheeks get red and my heart stumbles because of his touch. I shrug my shoulders, trying to act relaxed.

"I try to." I mumble, hoping my race would be going well and that I would not end up in the wall because someone tries a stupid move on me. Carlose disappears back to the Ferrari hospitality or somewhere else. I look back at Lando and my heart stops, my British friend definitely realised that something isn't normal.

"Why were you so shy?" Lando asks with a confused look. I am much but definitely not shy and because of that my behaviour seems to be suspicious for Lando.

"I am not shy." I say without hesitating but need to lower my gaze because II know my behaviour in front of Carlos is not my normal one. Being bad at hiding my feelings anyway, especially with a secret like mine.

"Oh god, you love him." Lando yells and my eyes widen in horror. He can't be serious right now.

"He is the one why you have hearts in your eyes all the time." Lando continues while I stopped listening and instead started to look around if anyone is able to listen to our conversation.

"Scream louder, the people in the back didn't hear you." I snap at him and sigh happily when I don't spot any camera, a microphone or any face which could have listened to his words.

"How did that happen?" Lando doesn't even react to my words, ignoring the fact that I don't want to talk about the topic on how I managed to develop a crush on Carlos.

"Come on, you can't give me crumps and don't tell me the whole story. I can't help you like that." Lando practically begs when I don't even try to say a word about Carlos. He is way too curious and wants to help everyone to make them as happy as possible.

"I don't need any help." I decide and cross my arms in front of my chest.

"Yeah? So, you are going to stop staring at him and ask him out already?" Is Lando's question with a provoking undertone, knowing that I don't even want to ask Carlos for a private meeting ever. There is too much fear inside of me of being rejected.

"That's what I thought." Lando grins when I don't say anything else, but then I decide to speak up. In the end Lando is my best friend and I could talk about anything with him.

"Okay, I tell you, but not here." I say and we decide for a time when we could meet up in his room. While Lando is rather happy I try to sort my thoughts on how I could explain everything to Lando so that he is able to understand how my heart was slowly falling for Carlos.
