Saviour ; Lewis Hamilton

twelve

Lewis should be arriving at my hotel room any minute now, I'm so happy to see him after so long, which was only really a week but we are into a new year now so it makes it feel even longer.

He did end up coming home a day early.

If I had known Lewis would book such an expensive hotel I would've just gone home. I feel bad but also a part of me is happy because this is the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in, and Luca loves it. 

I keep having to remind him that we will not be living here and it's only temporary.

It felt weird spending new years in a hotel but I spent it the exact same way I would've if I was at home anyway.

Sleeping.

I did wake up to a few messages from Lewis, he wished me a happy near year when it turned new year in the uk and then in Brazil, and a few others after which I could barely make out.

I also got a call at around 7am my time so- 4am for Lewis and he was very drunk. I could barely hear what he was saying but I did hear some of his friends teasing him in the background.

I don't think he slept on new years at all.

There's a knock on the door and I look through the tiny peep hole before opening it.

Lewis.

I don't even try to hold back the smile that makes its way onto my face, and neither does he.

God, I love his smile.

He immediately comes forward to hug me, he wraps his strong arms tightly around my waist- like he's afraid I'll disappear if he lets go.

"I missed you." He murmurs in my ear as he rests his head in the crook of my neck.

"I missed you too." I sigh out into his chest.

"You smell like Brazil." I say and Lewis chuckles.

"What does that even smell like." He smiles down at me.

"I don't know- tropical?" I laugh.

We pull apart and Lewis walks further into the room so he can close the door behind him.

"Lewis!" Luca exclaims as he comes running up behind me, Lewis leans down so he can pick Luca up into a hug.

"Hey buddy, I missed you." Lewis smiles at me as Luca wraps his small arms around Lewis's neck.

"Mama are we leaving the hotel room now?" Luca turns to me. I told him that when Lewis returned we would also be going back to our own house.

"Yeah, we are going back home."

"Come to my house." Lewis suddenly offers as he places Luca down, we walk into the living room area and Luca jumps up onto the couch.

"I don't know-" I don't want to intrude on his life.

He cuts me off "Please just for a little while longer and we can have someone check your house for any break-ins." He reasons with me and I agree.

That's probably a good idea considering Christopher is psycho enough to be waiting for me in my house.

"Okay yeah." I agree and Lewis smiles.

"Yay! Are we going to Lewis's house?" Luca catches onto our conversation and I laugh at his curiosity.

"Yeah, you and your mama are having a sleepover." Lewis looks at Luca excitedly. If I didn't know any better they are two children excited for their first sleepover.
