Trophies - Esteban Ocon

For ilinca66 😘😘

He did it. Esteban Ocon was world champion. You couldn't believe your eyes even when he raised his trophy on the podium of the Yas Marina circuit. Esteban didn't realize yet either. After all he went through, all the uncertainties, finally his dream came true. He was a Formula 1 world champion. His eyes were stuck on you, in the middle of the crowd of Mercedes team members, as the Marseillaise was played. You were both singing with your heart out. You didn't usually, when he won a race, but this was more than a race. This was a championship.

Toto Wolff had planned a party in a club to celebrate the title. The whole Mercedes travelling team was invited, as well as Esteban's family, his friends, and you. After Esteban left the podium to join his garage, he fell into your arms. He was sticky with champagne and sweat but you couldn't care less and you let him leave kisses all over your face.

After the many interviews, you went back to the hotel to get changed. You put a white dress that fell just before your knees and had a nice but not too deep cleavage. You curled your hair and only put a bit of eyeliner and lipstick. You joined the team to have dinner in the hotel before you all left for the club.

You left Esteban with his parents and his closest friends to dance a bit with his press officer who became your friend these past few years. You still didn't realize your boyfriend was a world champion. From the dance floor, you were looking at him, and his face lit with a smile when he noticed your stare. You couldn't wait to go back to the hotel and tell him again how proud you were of him.

"You alright there, mate?" Gabriel Aubry asked Esteban who was staring at his girlfriend on the dancefloor. He was amazed by her.

"What? Yeah, of course!"

"You really love her, don't you?" His mother smiled at him knowingly.

"You know I do, mum."

"Damn, I want to be in love, too." Thomas Neubauer exclaimed when he saw how happy his best friend was.

"You don't look like you just became world champion, man. What's bothering you?" Esteban eyes turned to Dorian Boccolacci and a small smile appeared on his face. He made sure you were not looking at him anymore, and he took a small black box out of the pocket of his jacket.

"Oh mon chéri!" His mum's hands came to her mouth as she held a sob, already knowing what was happening.

"I'm going to ask Y/N to marry me."

"Being world champion isn't enough for you, huh?" Thomas teased his friend by pushing on his shoulder.

"You know, when I received my trophy, the only thing I could think of was her. Of course I'm happy I'm world champion, but without her it doesn't mean anything. I bought the ring a few weeks ago but it's today that I knew I wanted to propose." Esteban had a shy smile on his face. His parents and his friends hugged him before he put the box in his pocket again.

"What are you waiting for, then?" Dorian nodded his head in your direction and Esteban smiled bigger when he saw you laughing with his press officer.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow!" The French driver stood up.

"And hopefully you'll be engaged by then!"

Esteban came to you and kissed your cheek. Your hands instinctively surrounded his neck and his press officer joined some mechanics who were dancing a few steps away.

"How about we get out of here?"

"I heard Abu Dhabi is beautiful by night." You nodded and followed him out of the club. You guessed he told his friends you two were leaving, and the team members were enjoying themselves too much to notice your absence anyway.

You had your heels in your hand as you were walking on the beach. Esteban had taken his shoes off too. The weather was still warm and you enjoyed this silent night, contrasting with the noise in the club.

"I can't even say how proud I am of you, Esteban." You put your head on his shoulder, both of you facing the sea. His hand was tightly wrapped around your hip and you sighed contently at the feeling of being near him.

"You were all I could think off when I was receiving my trophy, you know. And I was thinking that none of it mattered if I didn't have you." You raised your head to look at him. You could feel the emotion in his voice and his eyes. "The only trophy I want is you, Y/N. You're the best thing that ever happened to me and I don't want to live a day without you by my side. I want to stand by you, look after you, take care of you, every day of my life." You gasped when you saw him put a knee in the sand in front of you, his hand opening a small black box letting appear a gorgeous diamond ring. You could feel the tears filling your eyes already as he took one of your hand in his. "Y/N, veux-tu m'épouser?" (Will you marry me?)

"I love you so much, Esteban. Of course I want to marry you!" You nodded with your head at the same time, the tears now rolling on your cheeks. Esteban put the ring around your ring finger and stood up to take you in his arms. This hug was holding a silent promise, of loving each other for eternity.

"I can't wait to start leaving the rest of my life with you, Mrs Ocon."
