Being Charles Leclerc's sister had its ups and downs , the ups being able to go to races from time to time and the downs the hate and also the fact that my crush would never like me .
if you're wondering my crush is Carlos Sainz , one of Charles closest friends on the grid so yeah to him I'm only his teammates little sister .
I was in my hotel room doing doing a college essay when I heard really loud noises from the room next door and i could not concentrate so I got up and knocked on the door only for it to be opened by Lando Norris
"Hey y/n, what's up?" he asked with a goofy smile I let out a frustrated sigh and looked inside of the room to see George, Carlos, Alex and my brother all with their eyes glued to the TV as they played video games.
" Could you guys lower down the volume please? I'm trying to finish some college work before the race" I asked patiently
"Sure Y/n" George answered for everyone
"Thanks" I said before turning around and going back to my room, yet not even thirty minutes later they were making noise again
Frustrated, I got up again, banged on their door and yelled " REALLY GUYS, JUST ONE THING I ASK OF YOU"
Pissed and knowing that they were probably going to make noise again, I went to the lobby to finish my essay in peace. Down at the lobby I saw Mick and Seb so I decided to sit with them, that way I wouldn't be all lonely yet in peace while working.
About an hour passed and I was half way through the essay when my brother and the rest of the loud boys walked out of the elevator with annoyed looks on their faces.
" Thanks for the noise complaint sis, they made us leave the room" Charles said sort of bitter
i chuckled and looked at the group of boys " I didn't make any noise complain, after yelling at you I came down and have been sitting and working here for about an hour" I said with my eyes back on the screen.
" Yeah guys, y/n has been here for a while so it wasn't her" Seb said looking from his phone to the group of boys.
"Sorry we were making noise Y/n, how is the essay going?" Carlos asked as he sat next to me
I blushed a little at his actions and cleared my throat before speaking.
"It's goin well, I'm half way through so I'm positive I will have it done before the race on Sunday" I answered, eyes glued to the screen and typing away
" Perfect, Ferrari needs their greatest supporter there on Sunday" Carlos replied while smiling at me.
I smiled back and went to working while the boys around me began quiet conversations about the track and previous races. Quickly enough I was done with the essay and joined a conversation with Mick and Lando about the F1 season so far.
" Sis, Charlotte just landed and I am going to pick her up with Carlos and some food along the way, do you want to come?" Charles asked as he checked his phone
" Yeah why not, let me leave my laptop upstairs and I'll be down in a few" I said grabbing the laptop and then making my way to my room.
After leaving the device on my bed I quickly went to the bathroom, changed from my sweats and hoodie into a pink summer dress, put on some perfume, did my makeup quickly, grabbed my purse and went back downstairs where the two Ferrari drivers were waiting.
" you look lovely sis, ready to go?" Charles asked as he took the car keys out of his pocket
" Yep" both Carlos and I answered and walked behind my brother to the car. Just as we were standing next to the car, Carlos opened the copilot door and motioned for me to step in
" You sit in front meanwhile, I'll sit in the back before picking up Charlotte" Carlos said in his dreamy accent, with a smile on his face.
I blushed a bit and smiled at him " Thanks Carlos" I told him as I took my seat.
Carlos then closed my door for me and went to sit at the back. My trip as copilot didn't last long cause soon we were going back from the airport to a restaurant with Charlotte now in front and me in the backseat with Carlos.
There were times when I felt him looking at me but I really didn't think much about it, I mean the four of us were making conversation and I was the one next to him, so it was just him being polite.
Soon enough we were at the restaurant and had just finished ordering when Charlotte asked something that made my heart stop.
" So Carlos, how have you been since the breakup with Isa?"
Carlos shuffled in his seat and cleared his throat before answering
" Okay I guess, I have just been focusing on racing, not paying attention much too dating" He answered.
Charles laughed and held Charlottes hand before saying something that made me go red as a tomato and nearly spit out the water I was drinking
"The one you should be asking about dating is my sister, rumor has it that a certain French driver likes her"
"What?" Carlos, Charlotte and I said at the same time
" Lando told me that one of the drivers has crush on you, If we look at the single drivers on the grid you have only three Yuki, Zhou and Pierre. You barely talk to Yuki and Zhou so all that is left is Pierre" Charles said with a smug look on his face " And I'm not counting you Carlos cause its not likely" Charles finished
Charlotte chuckled and gave me a look to see my reaction. She obviously knew about my crush on Carlos, but always kept quiet about it.
"So Y/n, you and Pierre?" She asked raising her eyebrow
I scrunched up my nose, not approving at all what was being said
" i have known Gasly since I was in diapers, the guy is like an older brother so heck no" I said making Charlotte laugh
" Now, that you mention that, it would be weird if it was Pierre" Charles laughed
The rest of the night was fun and it was great to be with people I cared about.
Once we reached the hotel, my brother and Charlotte went straight to their room to sleep, seeing as Charles was tired and had quali tomorrow and Charlotte was tired from the flight.
Meanwhile, Carlos and I went to the garden where the pool was and laid down on the grass to look up at the stars.
"Y/n, can I ask you something?" Carlos asked as he looked at the sky
i hummed to let him know that I was listening
" Tonight at dinner, Charles let out the possibility of who might like you, yet he didn't include me, why do you think he did it?" he asked
i sighed before answering
"I mean, you are a few years older than me and even though we are close, he sees us like a siblings relationship, no more than that" I replied
" Do you look at it that way too" He asked me
The question took me off guard and I didn't know what to reply, I stuttered a bit
"I mean I see you as my brothers teammate and a good friend. I don't see the possibility of you being the mysterious guy Charles talked about" I answered
"But what if I was" Carlos said back, his voice a bit lower than before.
His words made me freeze right where I was, the words got stuck and I didn't know what to say, the only thing I could let out was
"What?"
i sat up and turned to look at Carlos, his face was no longer facing up to the sky, but to the side avoiding my gaze.
" I like you" he said shyly
My heart fluttered a bit and I smiled widely at his words, I reached for his hand and gave it a light squeeze, making him turn to look at me
"Good, cause I like you too" I said smiling
From then on, a healthy relationship blossomed and though Charles was shocked and reluctant at first, he soon became our number one supporter.
