Ariella's pov
George paces around the small boat in search of his phone, which I'm currently playing games on. "Love have you seen my phone?" I look up briefly from the device in question to see he's still search.
"Uh, yeah I have." I hear him stop mid search, turning to look at me no doubt. He's been looking for the thing for about 15 minutes now.
He scoffs and takes the phone out of my hands. "No! I was about to win." I complain with a whine, to which he chuckles at while he takes a seat next to me. "Also your password? 63-23? It's yours and Alex's numbers. How romantic." I tease.
He raises his eyebrows, observing me. "Are you jealous?" He teases right back. "Well of course I am! My boyfriend has a boyfriend!" I joke instead of denying his accusations.
He scoffs, with a roll of his eyes and a smile. "Okay well what's your password?" He's searching for something to poke fun at me with. "07-23." I answer simply and I can see him trying to figure out what the first part means, already knowing the second part is my birthday.
He gives up and decides to ask instead. "What's the 07?" He pulls his brows together in confusion. "Ashton's birthday." He looks defeated, not able to make a joke about me dating the other half of my password.
He turns to his phone, types a few things, then turns back to me. "There now you're included in the password." He smiles as he types out 28-63-23. "What's the 28 about anyway?" He asks in reference to my racing number. I laugh thinking about the significance of it.
"Well, when I joined f4 they asked what I wanted for my number. I had no ideas so I called my brother, and of course he was on tour so his bandmates were there too. So when I asked him someone in the back, I'm not sure who, yelled out the number 28 so it's just been that ever since." I shrug, still laughing slightly at the memory.
"So you have absolutely no clue who chose your number?" He asks, like it's an actual crime. I shake my head. "Obviously my brother knew them though, if he was touring with them." I explain, trying to make it seem a little less random. "So ask him." George says, motioning to my phone in my hand.
Ashton🍗
ASH
ARI
do you remember who told me to pick the number 28?
It was at one of your shows when I called you
oh yeah Louis
Oh cool
Ty Ashton love ya!
"Louis?" George questions, reading the texts from over my shoulder. "Tomlinson, one direction guy." I explain causing him to nod in understanding.
The two of us enjoy the rest of the day on the boat together, occasionally throwing one another into the water to cool off.
I tried to sunbathe too but George continuously put towels over me saying "gotta protect what's mine." I usually threw the towel off, but he was very persistent and I eventually gave up.
So I did the same to him.
When the sun started going down, we opted to lay on the beach instead of the boat. So when he was laying down with his bare chest out, I put a towel over him and used his words against him.
I smirk at him. "Gotta protect what's mine." He stares at me in disbelief for a moment before pulling me into him tightly and planting kisses all over my face. "George! No!" I use both of my hands to stop his attack, which fails because he begins to just kiss the palms of my hands instead.
He lets go of me and I roll off him, instead lying on my stomach, my elbows propping me up. "PDA is disgusting." I comment, to which he shakes his head at in disagreement.
The both us are fine together in public now, because if the media gets ahold of this I won't lose my seat anymore.
He goes for another kiss but I easily dodge it. He opens his mouth, probably to say something about me rejecting him just then, but my phone going off interrupts him.
The screen lights up to show Ashton is the one calling me.
"Guys she's on holiday we shouldn't be bothering her" I hear a voice say as I answer the FaceTime call, their face not shown but it's Michael's voice no doubt.
"Hey Ash, what's up?" I ask, ignoring Michael's considerate words.
"When where you going to tell me?" Ashton provides no context. "Tell all of us!" Luke adds on, correcting Ashton.
"What are you talking about?" For a moment I think the media did actually leak George and I's relationship, but the other side of the phone clarifies that isn't the case.
"You switched to Mercedes! And you told none of us!" He looks shocked, and betrayed at the same time. They all do.
"How do you even know about that? I've told like no one." While I speak, I look to George next to me, who's holding his phone up for me to see. The official F1 Instagram page posted about it not even five minutes ago.
"It's all over social media, how could we not see it?" Michael reminds him once again how I'm on holiday, focusing on relaxing rather than worrying about anything social media is saying.
George switches some apps to Twitter, where my name is trending. I wish I could become an ostrich at this moment, bury my head into the sand to hide from all the attention.
Of course I knew there would be discourse over the change, but reading through a few comments I see people saying I've ruined any chance at a WDC by moving. A few speculating Red Bull have kicked me out.
George pokes my shoulder, then points to the boys in the corner of my screen who've been trying to gain even a glimpse of my attention. "Sorry. What are you saying?" I shake my head and focus on them instead of the backlash.
"Who are you with?" Ashton annunciates each syllable of his words, making it as clear as possible. I glance at the Brit next to me, who blankly stares back. "Uh," I'm not sure if I should tell them. Ashton knows about the breakup and I haven't told them we got back together. It would be so much to explain. "A friend." I answer, unconvincingly.
George puts a hand over his heart, mocking offense at me calling him a friend. He shakes his head silently, looking disappointed, before he makes a dramatic point to stand up. His next move was probably to walk away but I stop him by reaching up and grabbing his hand with a loud "no!"
This makes him laugh very loudly. I can see the questioning looks in my peripheral that come from the group of boys in the screen.
I huff out a sigh and turn to the phone screen, my hand still reaching up to hold his. "I'm with George. Say hi!" I turn the phone quickly to the Brit, he gives a wave. "Okay gonna go enjoy my holiday now! bye!" I quickly hang up before they could say anything else. This of course doesn't stop them because they blow up my phone with texts instead.
I pull George's hand down, a silent way of telling him to once again join me. He listens to my silent plea, sitting back down next to me. I kiss him slowly and affectionately a hand on his chest and the other placed along his jaw line. One of his hands tangles itself in my hair.
"I thought you didn't like PDA?" He questions once I pull back for air. He's got a smirk on his face, but his eyes are looking at me with full adoration. "I would never kiss a friend like that." I say softly, joking about me calling him a friend. He breathes out a laugh, looking down at my hand still planted on his chest as he blushes.
I decide not to comment on the redness of his cheeks, and instead remove my hands from him to check my phone that's still blowing up.

"Did you even tell Christian?" George's question pulls my attention from the phone screen. "Hm?" I ask before I actually process the question. "Oh, yeah. He didn't really seem to care though." I shrug, he just nods.
"Well Toto couldn't stop smiling if that means anything to you." He bumps my shoulder with his. The thought makes me smile and laugh a little.
