Esteban

It's been a difficult weekend for all of us. We lost a star yesterday.

We didn't really feel like posting anything so soon but a friend needs comfort and support. We thought that this lighter and shorter part about her favorite driver might cheer her up and make her feel better. I hope you like it Lea ❤️❤️

"Your turn Pierre." Lance said after putting his card on the pile.

The Frenchman put two cards above his and leaned backward with a victorious smile. He threw his arms in the air to show they were empty.

"I won. Again." He said with a huge grin.

Max rolled his eyes and put another card down.

"You have to lose. At some point. You can't just win every single game." Antonio said, shaking his head. "Mathematically it is not possible."

"Maybe I'm just very good at it." Pierre answered with a shrug.

Suddenly, Lance's phone rang.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, pulling it out of his pocket and smiling brightly at the name displayed on the screen. "I'll come back later." He said while standing up and walking out of the cafeteria.

"You'll say Hi to the pussy for me right?" Max shouted just before the Canadian left the room.

Lance heard him and rolled his eyes. He picked up the video call.

"Hey!" He said warmly as Esteban's face appeared on the screen.

"Salut!" Esteban answered with a large smile.

Lance closed his bedroom door behind him and laid on his bed.

"So how was your day?"

"Good, good." Lance answered. "Nothing much happened. I was playing cards with the boys. Max is still angry at you."

"Of course he is." Esteban chuckled lightly.

"How are you?" Lance asked.

"Bored." Esteban said before laughing lightly. "I swear, we're doing the most boring things here. Testing new tracking devices, new suits. There's nothing fun in this. I miss being on the field so much..." He sighed.

"I can imagine. We miss you too here." Lance said with a sad smile.

"How is it going with Force India?"

"Good. Very good." Lance answered happily. "I don't remember having so much fun while working. It's really amazing to feel useful. I missed this feeling."

"Yeah I miss it too."

They chatted a bit about their families, trading stories about their trainers and teammates for a while.

"Xavier is calling, I have a session in the simulator in 30 minutes." Esteban explained. "I have to go."

"It's okay. I'll call you back on Thursday if that's okay for you." Lance tried to hide his disappointment.

"That would be perfect." Esteban smiled warmly. "See you on Thursday then."

"See you." Lance smiled.

"I love you."

"Love you too."

Esteban blew him a kiss and hung up. The Frenchman put his phone aside with a sigh. He missed seeing Lance so much. He was stuck there, somewhere in the Swiss Alps, in a secret base of the FIA. He'd lost his place as a field agent with Force India so he'd been sent here, to try new gadgets, weapons and technologies. He'd found it funny for the first few days but it quickly became the most boring thing he had to do. Now he was spending his days training, trying new stuff and walking around, looking for something to do.
