You walk after your boyfriend through the house. He leaves his things everywhere and you have to clean them up, but you don't mind. He is processing a lot and has no idea of what he is up to. He lost the world championship from his teammate, which was a huge bummer, but now out of the blue, that same teammate is retiring, leaving a seat open and Lewis unsure about who he will have as a teammate and who he will have to battle against. Max, Daniel, Sebastian and Kimi will be four of them, but the other Mercedes driver will be a pain in the butt for him too.
"Lewis, please calm a bit down." You say and you give him a kiss on his cheek. "I get why you are like this and I don't mind helping you out with whatever, but you really have to calm down a bit." Lewis looks up to you and nods.
"It is just that it was so sudden... I had no idea this was coming and I have no idea of how it is going to be next year, it is just a bit frustrating I guess." You smile and make Lewis sit down on the sofa and you sit down beside him, taking his hand in yours.
"I know, but I also know you want to get your title back, whatever it will take." Lewis grins. "And I also know you don't need your teammate for that. Of course it is nice to have a nice and good teammate that helps the team lift up their game, because the rest is certainly doing, but you don't need your teammate to become a world champion again. All you need is a good car, you being you and confidence. You have all three, at least, if you still will be you, which I think you will be when the season starts again." Lewis chuckles and you smile. "And on top of that, a good teammate will only make it harder for you to win the title back again, wouldn't it." Lewis smiled and kisses you.
"You are right. What should I do without you." You roll your eyes before kissing him.
"You would be a total mess, who doesn't know how to handle anything." Lewis pokes you and you giggle.
Lewis is finally calmed down and is very busy with training again, but tonight the two of you will go out on a date. The two of you haven't done that in quite a while, so Lewis thought it was time to ask you out again. You bought a nice dress and now you are getting dressed and you started to curl your hair. Then your phone rings and you pick it up.
"Hey Lewis." You happily say.
"Hey babe." He says. "I was wondering if you would mind if our date tonight would change into a double date?" Your smile slightly drops and you frown.
"Why?"
"My new teammate is announced..."
"Who is it?!" You interrupt him. "Tell me!"
"Valteri."
"Bottas?! How nice! He is a great guy!" Lewis chuckles on the other side of the line.
"Yes he is, so would you mind if he and Emilia join us tonight?" You doubt for one second.
"If it would mean a lot to you, then of course, we'll make it a great night."
"Thanks, I'll take you out soon again, but then just the two of us." You smile again.
"No worries Lewis. We'll make tonight a lovely night and it will be a lovely opportunity for me to get to now Emilia better, I will see her more often now so it would be nice if the two of us get along well."
"Great, I'll let them know and I'll pick you up thirty minutes."
"Alright, I'll see you than love."
"Make sure you are ready babe." You laugh.
"I am always the one who is on time, remember, most presumably you will arrive here ten minutes late." You hear Lewis scoff.
"Just make sure you are ready." He says and then hangs up. You return to curling your hair and get ready.
Exactly thirty minutes you hear Lewis opening the front door and you grin. Your plan worked. Lewis likes to prove you are wrong, so by saying he would be at least ten minutes late made him get on time for once.
"You are on time." You say as you take your purse and you walk down the stairs on your pumps.
"I had to prove I can be on time if I want to." You laugh and you give him a kiss.
"Where are we going?"
"A restaurant." You nod approvingly.
"Sounds nice."
"Of course it does." You raise your hands to prove you didn't mean anything with it and Lewis kisses your cheek. "Lets go, Valteri and Emilia are on their way too. He just sent me a text." You nod and you take your jacket and place it over your arm before you intertwine your fingers with Lewis. Since the restaurant is not too far away from your house you and Lewis walk the way and you are thankful you chose the more comfortable pumps instead of the higher, but more elegant pumps.
After seven minutes or so you arrive at the restaurant where you and Lewis sit down at a table for four. Soon Valteri and Emilia arrive too and you shake hands with both.
"It is lovely to see the two of you, and you Valteri congratulations." He thanks you and the four of you sit down again. Lewis sits next to you and Emilia in front of you, with Valteri next to her. You order your meals and you and Emilia start to have some small talk about a lot of things, since your dates are starting to talk about, what else could it be, Formula one.
"So do you travel a lot along with Lewis?" Emilia asks and you just wanted to take a bite of your salad, but you place your fork back down.
"Actually I do. I am a sort of blogger. I don't know if you can really call it a blogger, but never mind." Emilia chuckles. "I travel along with him and than write something about the race weekend, but also about different pubs, restaurants, cinemas." Emilia looks interested.
"That sounds really nice!"
"It is, so what do you do?"
"I swim." You nod in surprise. "I competed in the 2008 Olympics as the 2016."
"No way!" You say as you are blown away.
"That is amazing!" You see Valteri look very proudly at Emilia and you smile as you feel Lewis' hand on your thigh. This evening had just started, and it was already turning out rather fine.
