Formula 1 - One Shots [First Book]

The Back Up - {Esteban Ocon}

A/N: This is for WriterExtreme 💖she's also writing a fanfic, which is definitely worth to take a look 😏

"Esteban, please come and meet your teammate for the coming three races. She'll be replacing Sergio". Esteban had his suit around his waist, exposing his lean upper body in the tight, fireproof undershirt. "She?". He asked with a surprised tone. "Yes, Esteban, a she". Will, his press officer replied with a roll of his eyes.

Esteban put his gloves and drinking can down on the table as he had just come out of the second free practice. He had expected that Alfonso, their development driver, would race with him, but apparently not. The Frenchman followed Will and was led to Force India's hospitality.

A short woman was standing with her back to him, wearing a team polo.

You looked up when someone gently brushed his hand over your shoulder and you almost bumped into the tall Force India driver. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Y/N". You smiled and offered your hand.

"Esteban, a pleasure to meet you". He automatically smiled back as he saw your wide beam, lighting up the whole room immediately. Esteban's handshake was firm. "Y/N will do the practice of tomorrow and of course the qualifying and the race here in Monaco. She'll travel along and replace Checo till he's able to race again". Will mentioned and you nodded.

"I hope it's okay with you, but you're also scheduled for the Amber Lounge tonight". "Oh, sure". You shrugged.

Esteban led you around the pit boxes and the hospitality of Force India, not lingering too long at things as he knew you were familiar with racing in Formula 1. You reached the paddock entrance and he was still in his racing overall as he didn't have the time to get changed into some other clothes. A shiver ran up your spine when the tall driver placed his hand on your lower back when you went out in front of him.

"I'll see you in a few then". Esteban said with a smile and you blinked up at him and then nodded, remembering the Amber Lounge show tonight. "Yes, see you in a few". You stammered back and forced the blush that creeped onto your face away when Esteban gave you that handsome smile.

You didn't have much time to shower there were people waiting on you. You quickly washed your hair with conditioner to make it easier for the hairdresser to style it into something preferred. You left the hotel in some easy going clothes as you'd be dressed up at the show.

This was all a bit new, as you just expected to be driving the car and nothing else, no extravaganza things like the rest of the grid, going to parties and the fashion show. You were glad they now saw you as a team member and you could enjoy the Monaco weekend just as much as the other drivers.

You were plunged into a seat, cold fingers pulling your hair back. "I'm just going to give it some boost". The woman said and wetted her hands a bit while moving them through your strands. She added some kind of mouse that made your hair smell amazing and flow like golden waves down your shoulders.

Your face was nicely made up with some nude summer colors, the soft beige tone on your lips almost made you feel like Kylie Jenner for a moment. Your dress was in a navy blue color, snuggly hugging your curves. The heels on your feet in the same color. You gasped at seeing your reflection in the mirror, you haven't felt that pretty in a while.

You were ushered towards the group of drivers, including Stoffel, Pascal, Marcus and of course Esteban. Oh god he looked so good. A blush made its way to your cheeks when Esteban looked in awe at you. You smiled as a greeting and you were squeezed between Marcus and Esteban. The Force India driver immediately snaked his arm around your lower back, pulling you into his chest.

You automatically placed a hand on his shoulder, leaning onto your right leg a little more. The photo's were quickly made, however Esteban held onto you just a little longer. You were supposed to walk the cat walk after him and you squealed when he pulled you with him. You concentrated on finding your balance on those heels and easily walked along with him.

Esteban twirled you around with a smile and walked the other way around. Your stomach fluttered at the way he looked at you, at the way his hand touched your lower back in such a gentleman way. The night was surprisingly short as you had so much fun with the other drivers and you really felt like you fitted in.

You were about to leave when Esteban pulled onto your arm. "Just wanted to thank you for tonight, I really like that you're here". He softly said and you smiled. "I love it here as well, hoping I can join the team for a whole season sometime". You replied and he chuckled.

Esteban's hazel eyes looked down at you and your heart skipped a beat when you stood rather close. He smelled so delicious and christ he moved his hands again to pull you closer to him. Your hands landed on his firm chest and the Frenchman leaned down, your lips almost brushing against each other, but someone called out for him.

Esteban let out a groan and had to let you go. "I'll see you tomorrow". You nibbled on your lower and nodded, waving at him as you left the place.

You weren't that nervous for what was coming at that was clearly visible in the race. You were just out of the point but the team was obviously proud as you made it just outside of the points, but your laps were terrific and there was no damage to the car. Esteban had gotten some points for the team and they were content with that as Force India was performing strong this year.

You hopped out of the bolide at parc ferme and were soon enough tackled by your teammate Esteban. You laughed when you almost fell over due to his taller body wrapping around yours, your helmets clashing together. "You did great". He complimented you and you smiled, even though he couldn't see that.

You both got weighed and made your way to your cool down rooms, where you stripped your suit down to your waist and grabbed onto a bottle of water. A knock on your door made you look up and it was Esteban. His muscled body towered over you and you did your best not to stare at his biceps.

He waisted no time in pulling you close again, that gorgeous smile on his lips. Esteban pressed his lips to yours before someone could interrupt you again. You smiled against his mouth and placed your hands on his shoulders, standing on your tippy toes to meet his lips in a more fierce way.

"I've waited the whole day for that". Esteban muttered and kissed you again. You giggled and he twirled you around.

"Never thought finding love at a race track was real". He admitted, not knowing you for too long, but he definitely felt the connection between you two.

You smiled up at him and let this day get even more beautiful.
