As dawn broke over the bustling city of Montreal, Charles reached for his phone to send Lewis a good morning text. He reached for his phone on the nightstand and texted Lewis.

Knowing Lewis's notorious habit of taking his time in the morning and his precisely planned timed entrance to the paddock. Charles decided to start his day. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stretched, feeling the tension in his muscles slowly dissipate.

Downstairs in the lobby, Charles was met by his Ferrari PA, Marie. She guided him through the maze of supporters and paparazzi that flocked in the paddock. Once he finally made his way to the Ferrari hospitality area, he spotted his trainer, and they sat down for breakfast.

 He heard the commotion before he saw it, Charles knew what was coming and couldn't help but smirk at the sight of fans and press following Lewis, snapping pictures as they went. Still glancing out the window, he observed the handsome figure of Lewis. He had such an effortless allure, that Charles couldn't believe this man was his boyfriend. His eyes travelled down, taking notice of the outfit he wore. It was a denim beige-coloured two-piece with the last buttons unbuttoned on the jacket. Only added to his effortless allure.

He forced his head back down to concentrate on the breakfast before anyone caught him staring

Their banter continued throughout the day, adding a touch of fun to the whirlwind of press interviews and intense practice sessions. The urge to just communicate openly without anyone in their teams blinking an eye grew stronger with each exchanged text. But as the sun set on the Canadian Grand Prix, after a long and exhausting day, Lewis found his way to Charles's room.

In the dimly lit hotel suite, Lewis and Charles sat across from each other at the small dining table, their plates filled with a delicious vegan meal. After they settled on the fluffy couch to watch a movie together, 'Cool Runnings' at Lewis's request. Some time into the film with Charles resting against Lewis's chest, Lewis stroked his lover's hair, before finally gathering the courage to speak.

"Hey, babe?... I've been thinking. How would you feel about... meeting my parents? And my brother?"

Charles nearly choked on air, his eyes widening in surprise. "Your parents? Meeting them as... your boyfriend?" he stammered, his heart pounding.

Lewis nodded, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Yes, exactly. I want them to know how amazing you are and how much you mean to me."

A mix of excitement and fear washed over Charles. "I... I'd love to meet them, Lewis. But I'm also scared..."

Lewis reached across the table, gently placing his hand atop Charles' trembling one. "Hey, don't worry. They'll love you, okay?." Charles gazed into Lewis' warm brown eyes, losing himself in their depths.

"Okay," he whispered. "Let's do it."

"They're planning on visiting me in Monaco after the race weekend so we can have dinner with them then?."With those words, Charles leaned up their lips uniting in a passionate kiss. At that moment, Charles couldn't help but feel grateful for the twists and turns that had brought them together. He knew he was the luckiest man alive.

As the night wore on, their conversation flowed effortlessly, filling the room with laughter and whispered confessions.

Reluctantly, Lewis eventually left, retreating to his room. Charles stood in the doorway, watching him disappear down the hallway. A wave of gratitude washed over him, tinged with a hint of disbelief. How lucky he felt to have found someone like Lewis, someone who made his heart race both on and off the track. It was too early, to say the words that danced at the tip of his tongue each time they were together. As the door clicked shut, Charles quietly sighed and fell onto the bed. Lewis still on his mind.
