Bahrain, absolutely breathtaking, I wish I could stay there forever. I met up with Carlos at the airport where he gave me a lift to my hotel, luckily he was staying at the same one so it wasn't an issue at all. The 20 minute car journey to the hotel was quiet, you would have thought not seeing each other for almost 2 years we would have talked none stop, but a lot can happen in 2 years and I guess we were both different people. We had the odd conversation here and there, mostly about how the family are and what we've been up to. I told him about getting into university to study law and he told me about his racing and how excited he is for this upcoming season. When we arrived at the hotel I went straight to my room and told Carlos I'd meet him later on for dinner. I was exhausted and all I wanted was to nap and then shower. 3 hours later I was ready to leave my room to meet Carlos in the lobby area. I'd applied some light makeup and chose to wear a pair of blue jeans with a pink backless top paired with my white heels, it was nothing fancy but wasn't too casual either. We set of for dinner and ended up at a cute little restaurant by the beach, which had the most amazing view of the sea. I sat for a moment, taking in the scenery, the sounds, the smells and the sights, thinking this is what life should feel like, bliss. I was snapped out my thought by Carlos waving his hand in my face,
"Is it okay if a few of my friends and their girlfriends join us? It's okay if not, I know you don't like too many social interactions in one sitting" I nodded in agreement, "yeah, yeah of course, it's no issue" There was no better time to push my self out of my comfort zone than at this moment sitting in a beautiful restaurant, in a beautiful country with Carlos by my side. Carlos snapped a few pictures of the scenery and then a few pictures of me before his friends joined us. They slowly start showing up one by one, the first one being Lando Norris who was joined by his girlfriend Luisinha. We sat and chatted for a while, talking about the upcoming race that weekend and Luisinha asked me what life was like in Madrid and what I do for a living. She was extremely easy to talk to and there was something about her voice and the way she spoke that just made everything sound like it was going to be okay. Next to arrive was Pierre and Kika, followed by Daniel and Heidi and Max and Kelly. I don't think Max recognised me from the karting days, maybe it was because I didn't wear my 'dorky' glasses anymore, who knows? We all sat and chatted for a short while until two more people walked through the door, one being easy to recognise as the man himself, Lewis Hamilton, the other I wasn't so sure of. What I did know is that he had the most handsome features, a slim figure and a tall and straight posture. His hair was neatly styled with his beard being perfectly shaped and shaved. His eyes were an emerald green, flickering between everyone sitting at the table, until they met with mine. A look of confusion plastered on his face, I offered a small smile, he stared for a moment before turning away with a blank expression . "Everyone, this is my cousin Peyton, she's visiting for the week and is coming to watch the race on Sunday" The look that was plastered across the man's face disappeared and was replaced with a relaxed expression, he sat across from me, looking at the menu while everyone chatted amongst each other. I looked to Carlos who was chatting to Pierre, Kika talking with Heidi next to her. "I'm Charles by the way" I snapped my eyes back to the man who was still staring at his menu, "Peyton" I replied in a soft tone. "Carlos never mentioned his cousin was coming for the race this weekend" he replied, scanning my face for a reaction, I simply smiled weakly and replied with "it was a last minute thing" a simple hum left his lips as he proceeded to look away. The rest of the night went by pretty quick, I talked to everyone on the table, we shared laughs, numerous bottles of wine and ate some delicious food. Daniel and Heidi were the first to go, followed by Pierre and Kika and then Lando and Luisinha. Carlos said his goodbyes to Lewis, Max, Kelly and Charles and placed some money down to cover our part of the bill. I said goodbye to them all, expressing how lovely it was to meet them. Charles just stared at his phone, not even offering a goodbye, arrogant prick. I turned to follow Carlos out of the restaurant and headed back to the hotel.
