Uncover // George Russell

11

Thursday was media day meaning there wasn't much for Eleanor to do meaning she'd probably end up going shopping with her mother while Lance and their dad went to the track for the day.

Eleanor had woke up that morning still in George's bed but had a blanket draped over both of them letting her know that George must have woken up at some stage of the night and done it

When they woke up George got ready for his day at the track and filled with interviews and his press conference. Once he was ready to go Eleanor headed back to her own room while George went down to reception to meet with Nicky.

Once Eleanor was back in her own room she headed for the shower. She waved both her hair and body before getting out. She dried her body with the towel before applying moisturiser to her entire body including her face.

After drying her hair and straighten in, Eleanor started to dig through her unpacked suitcase in search of clothes to wear.

She chose a yellow crew neck sweatshirt and a light washed denim mom jeans along with a pair of white trainers.

Once she was ready she grabbed her phone, purse and room key before leaving her room and heading to find her mother to see what her plans were for the day.

She raised her fist and knocked on the door when she arrived at the door of her parents' hotel room a few floors below her own. She waited for a few seconds before the door opened to reveal her mother dressed for whatever plans she had for the day.

"Hello." Eleanor smiled as her mother stepped aside to let her into the room.

"Hello darling." Her mother replied after closing the door and following her further into the hotel room. "What's your plans for today?"

"Absolutely none." Eleanor said as she leant against the desk in her parents' hotel room,

"Well then let's go explore Baku." The older woman spoke as she grabbed her bag and then her daughter's arm, guiding her towards the hotel room door.

After a couple of hours of shopping the mother and daughter decided to grab lunch in a local cafe that was kind of busy but not crazy either.

They took a seat in a small booth towards the back of the cafe. A young waitress came and took their drinks and food order before leaving them alone.

"So?" Her mother asked crossing her arms and placing them on the table.

"So?" Eleanor copied her actions causing the two of them to laugh.

"Anything you're keeping from me?" Claire wondered with a smile on her face.

"No why?" Eleanor questioned in reply as she took a sip of her water.

"Just wondering." Her mother shrugged her shoulders in reply before leaning back in her seat.

"Mom." The dark haired girl said as she continued to stare at her mother. "What do you mean?"

"I was just asking El." Claire assured her although she was in fact digging for specific information.

The waiter returned with the drinks they had ordered preventing Eleanor from asking any more questions about what her mother was referring to.

"Do you think she knows?" George wondered as Eleanor sat doing her make up for their family dinner tonight while her phone was propped up on FaceTime to George.

"I don't know. It was just weird. It was like she was looking for a specific answer when she asked." Eleanor explained as she applied powder across her face.

"Has anyone else said anything?" The Williams driver asked.

"No. Only Sara. Apart from that no one else. Has anyone said anything to you?" Eleanor wondered.

"No just Nicky and then you said you told Sandy." George replied as he laid in his hotel room.

"Yeh I just felt bad. I didn't want Nicky to think he had to keep our secret for us." The Stroll girl explained as pulled in her hair curler.

"That's fair. I wouldn't wanna keep a secret from you." George spoke with a smile.

"Well aren't you cute?" Eleanor joked as she touched the curling iron to see if it was hot yet. "Ow."

"Well that was smart wasn't it?" George told her.

"Shut up." The dark haired girl said as she started to section off her hair in order to curl it all.

"I'm just saying." George shrugged his shoulder in reply.

The pair spent the next 30 minutes talking through FaceTime to one another before Eleanor finally had to leave for her family dinner in a nearby restaurant.

"Bye El."

"Bye George." Eleanor blew a kiss into the phone before hanging up.

Okay this was very short. I'm really in two minds. I'm thinking of taking down a few books for now and focus on a few mains ones and just work away at others in the background so I can build up chapters.

Or what do you guys think? Would you prefer just a really long gap between chapters or for me to just take it down and repost when I'm ready and have a few chapters built up in my drafts.

Let me know what you think x
