It had been a day after I quit being my mum's photographer and when nearly the whole grid was on my bed cheering me up. Never in my life did I think that would happen.

Samantha even stayed. Sam nonstop talked about him after all the drivers left. Let's just say Lando was a little upset she stayed.

Charles texted me after Sam had left which was around midnight.

Lord Percival

Hey. Are you awake?

Yeah, I'm awake why?

How you holding up?

Doing better. Sam really helped

That's good.

Yeah

This is kind of random but do you remember our deal?

Yes. You and Carlos get to drive
me around the track

No the one from before.

???

The Date?

???

You really are clueless...

HEY.
I just recently stopped crying
I'm still delicate

When I drove you to your house with just your street name...

Oh right

So what about later today?

The date... today?

Yeah. Come on. Let's not call it a date and just a friendly dinner.
To get to know you better. You are my teammate's best friend.
I will be seeing you a lot more.

I guess so. Time?

I'll pick you up at 8:30 pm

Okay. You have a deal

Great I'll see you then

HOLD ON
You're not even going to tell me what you're going to wear?

Nope. All you need to know is that it's a suit.

Colour? Brand? ANYTHING?

Suit. That is all.

You're a real help, Leclerc

Trust me I know

So today at 8:30 pm he would be picking me up. For a friendly dinner...

It was currently 11 am and I still had a whole day. I'm not going to lie I was stressed. The thought of it being a date would still be at the back of my mind. A date... I mean a friendly dinner with my best friend's teammate.

I grabbed a book and sat down still in my pyjamas with a hoodie on top. I had a whole day without anything planned.

I was so into it that I didn't realise how fast time went. The next thing I knew it was 1 pm and I had finished the book. I grabbed the next one that was in line. 'Icebreaker by Hanna Grace'.

My soft spot are murder mysteries but young adult fiction also creeps in. I immediately open the book. Not realising I forgot lunch and breakfast. It was normal for me anyway to forget to have full meals.
