Uncover // George Russell

10

It was nearly 9pm by the time Eleanor and her family arrived at their hotel in Baku. It was located just across from the entrance to the Paddock of the Baku City Circuit.

Both Eleanor and Lance had their own room while their parents were in another. With how tired they all were after the long flight, they all decided to go to their separate rooms and get room service.

Eleanor was the first to head to her room while her mom and dad were going to meet Otmar briefly before the race weekend officially started tomorrow.

Once she had her room key, Eleanor got onto the elevator and pressed the button for the 8th floor. Before the door had a chance to close, a hand put itself between to stop it from closing.

"Hey. You're here." Nicky spoke as he stepped into the elevator and noticed the Stroll girl standing there.

"Hey Nicky." Eleanor smiled in reply as her fellow Canadian pressed the 5th floor button before the doors closed.

Considering the hotel was practically on top of the entrance to the Paddock, it was only natural that all the drivers and teams would be staying there. A fact that had escaped Eleanor's mind before she saw George's teammate.

Before any more of a conversation could be had, the elevator stopped and the door started to open on the 5th floor.

"See you later El." Nicky told her as he stepped off the elevator. Before the doors closed he turned back around. "Oh Eleanor. Room 805."

"What?" Eleanor asked in confusion but didn't have a chance to question it any further before the doors closed and the elevator made its way up to the 8th floor.

She stepped off the elevator still confused about what Nicky had said. Her room number was 814-and she stopped to look at the sign telling her which was her room was.

Room 805 was on the way to her room as she walked down the hallways. Deciding against investing any further Eleanor continued to her own room. She scanned the key card and let herself in.

The room was beautiful. A large double bed was in the middle against the back wall with a telly on the opposite wall. The interior was amazing too and complemented the theme running through the hotel.

She dropped her suitcase by the desk in the corner deciding against unpacking tonight she left it there and sat on the edge of her bed. She knew there must've been a reason for what Nicky said.

Eleanor's curiosity grew the better of her and she decided to find out why Nicky mentioned that room number to her. She left her room and closed the door behind her once she was sure she had her room key with her.

She made her way down the hallway back towards the room she had walked past in order to get to her own room. Once she stopped outside she raised her hand into a fist before knocking it against the hard wood.

After a moment, the sound of the door opening caught her attention. She played with the bracelet on her wrist unknown to herself before looking up at the fully opened door.

"El?" A familiar voice spoke causing Eleanor to smile at the sight in front of her.

"George." Eleanor smiled and slightly laughed. She know realised why Nicky had called out that room number to her when he got off the elevator. George must have been telling Nicky about their lack of communication over the last few days and the Canadian had taken it upon himself to resolve it.

Before anything else could be said George's hand wrapped around Eleanor's wrist and quickly pulled her inside the room before lifting her into his arms and holding her tight.

"I missed you too." Eleanor laughed as she was placed back down on the ground by her boyfriend.

"I'm so sorry about everything. I didn't mean to ignore you when I was streaming with the boys and then after that we just kept missing each other. And then-."

Eleanor cut of the Brit with a soft kiss on the lips.

"It's fine George. We were both to blame for being bad with our phones the last couple of days. I'm not mad." The Canadian girl assured him as she pulled away and smiled at him.

"Good. Now come here." George pulled her towards the bed and before Eleanor knew what was happening, George's arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her down onto the bed causing the two to laugh. "God I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too." Eleanor replied as she lay with her read resting against George's chest.

"One question though." George asked as he sat up slightly causing Eleanor to do the same as they turned to face each other. "How did you find my room?"

"If I told you that I'd be giving away my secrets." Eleanor spoke with a smile causing George to laugh.

"That sounded oddly creepy." George shook his head at the dark haired girl. "Seriously though."

"Nicky." Eleanor explained before reaching over and grabbing the tv remote. "So what are we watching? Hey."

George grabbed the remote from her hand before laying his back against the head board of his hotel room bed.

"My hotel room. My choice." George said simply before turning on the tv and clicking into Netflix.

"Fine by me." Eleanor replied before crawling up and wrapping her arms around George's waist before laying her head against his chest.

The pair laid on George's bed for the next couple of hours watching tv before the couple eventually fell asleep in each other's arms due to the tiredness of their jet lag.
