After my meeting finished I walked back to the hospitality to get some dinner. The paddock was getting emptier by the hour and now there were only some teams busy preparing for tomorrow. I had dinner and then a debriefing. I got a tray and then walked outside. I sat against a wall and placed the tray on my lap. I placed my cap next to me and let the last bit of sun play on my face. I looked at the plait to see a pasta that looked absolutely delicious. I picked up my fork and got a few pieces in my mouth. The flavors melting on my tongue as I chewed the pasta. It was absolutely delicious.
George: "mind if I join you?"
Mike: "no go ahead."
The guy with blue eyes and blonde hair sat down next to me and placed his own tray in his lap. George was from Mercedes but he was very nice. We both ate in a comfortable silence. It was nice to not sit alone.
George: "good talk we got there."
Mike: "very."
We both laughed a bit before I sipped the last bit of my water. The bottle was now empty. I closed it and placed it besides me. I looked to my side and smiled at George who looked at me at the same moment. His eyes beautiful in the sunset. I had to admit he is a handsome lad but I have a boyfriend. Derek was waiting at home. Nobody knew about him, only my family of course. The past few weeks we've been... not in our best state of the relationship. He would fly out tomorrow to come here because he wanted to talk to me about something. I didn't have a clue what but that's alright. I was staring into the sun in front of me. A hand on my shoulder made me look back at George. He looked a bit confused/worried.
George: "you okay?"
Mike: "yea fine. Just thinking a bit."
George: "care to enlighten me?"
Mike: "I don't feel like talking about it."
George: "that's okay."
He nodded gently at me before I got up from the floor. I picked up my tray and smiled gently at him.
Mike: "I have another meeting. See you around and thanks for the company."
George: "no problem. See you soon."
He smiled at me before I disappeared inside. I placed my tray away and then got into the meeting room. I sat in one of the comfy chairs next to Max and we shared some small talk before we started.

She had just left to go to debriefing. I looked to my side where Mike was sat earlier on. Her Red Bull cap still lying in the place where she placed it earlier. She forgot it great. I picked it up and walked back to the Mercedes hospitality. I placed my tray away and then sat down in front of the hospitality as she would have to pass if she was leaving. Minutes turned into 2,5 hours. It was already 20:48 PM and I was about to go when the familiar voice filled my ears. I looked around and saw her on face time with someone.
George: "Mike! Wait up!"
Mike: "What up?"
George: "here. You forgot this."
I handed her her cap and took a quick glance on her phone to see a guy sitting with a thighs jaw. Probably jealous or something.
?: "Mike I think I can't wait to talk anymore!"
Mike: "okay... then say what's on your mind Derek."
Derek. That's what the lad is called on her screen. I looked at her but she didn't look at me. I wanted to give her some privacy but she grabbed my wrist making me stay. When I stopped she let go and looked at me. I staid stood there and remained silent. As the conversation went on.
Derek: "we should break up. This isn't working anymore! Your always away! I also... cheated on you."
Mike: "yea sure."
Derek: "why don't you care about me breaking up with you?"
Mike: "You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me. They say that they don't see what you see in me. You wait a couple months then you gon' see. You'll never find nobody better than me."
A cocky smirk on her face as she told him so before she ended the call. She blocked his contact and placed her phone in her back pocket before she made eye contact with me.
George: "are you okay?"
Mike: "perfectly fine. Only need to make sure Callum handles things at home. Getting his stuff out of my house and knowing Callum giving him some punches. Not my problem tho."
My eyes widened. How could she go on so perfectly fine after she broke up a few seconds ago with her boyfriend that told her he cheated!
Mike: "don't worry. Our spark was over for a long time already. I'm kind of glad that we broke up."
George: "how the hell are you perfectly fine! When I broke up with my girlfriend I was hurt."
Mike: "don't ask me! I don't know how I'm fine."
I shook my head before we walked towards the car park. She got into her Honda and thanked me once more for her cap before we said bye and both drove towards our hotel. We would have a game evening at Lando's hotel room so I showered and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. I walked out of my room and knocked on Lando's door. Seconds later it opened and I let myself fall on the couch next to Carlos. We fist-bumped and we started to play FIFA with the group that existed out of Lando, Carlos, Alex, Charles and Pierre. I furrowed my eyebrows when another knock was heard on the door. Lando opened the door and after a few seconds Mike came around the corner. She wore a black oversized shirt with light grey sweatpants and a black hoodie tied around her waist. A big smile on her face.
Mike: "hello my fellow drivers."
A few greetings were exchanged and she let herself fall down on the couch in front of me. I looked her up and down and then an elbow in my side made me realize I was blushing. I looked at Alex who was smirking playfully at me.
Charles: "so Mike. How's your boyfriend?"
Mike: "I don't have a boyfriend."
Charles: "I know just reminding you."
Mike: "how's your dad?"
The whole room went silent. Her face stood arrogant and Charles only realizing to late where he went with his first sentence towards her. Eyes were widened at the last sentence of Mike. A soft giggle left her before she leaned forward and looked straight into Charles his eyes. She wasn't that far away from his face.
Mike: "don't start something you can't win from me Leclerc."
He nodded softly before she got up and handed everybody a drink. The conversations started again and were now back to normal like that moment didn't happen at all.
