Didn't mean to hit you up (but maybe this could be something?)

Summary:

Lewis texts a wrong number. He doesn't think anything will happen, but it's nice not to have to be 'The Lewis Hamilton' for someone.

Nico is bored. Utterly, terribly bored. So when a wrong number texts he responds. And then... they keep texting.

You can see where this is going......

Notes:

I can't even defend myself anymore :/

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Is everything set up for tonight?

+44068520166
What's tonight?

+44198572007
The Fundraising Gala?
The one you’re running?

+44068520166
Feel like I’d remember agreeing to run a Gala


+44198572007
You are Henry, right?


+44068520166
I think I see our problem
I’m not Henry
Wrong number, sorry mate

+44198572007
Ahh
My bad

 

6pm

+44068520166
What are you fundraising for?
Sorry
That’s probably overstepping

+44198572007
Fundraising for underprivileged children

+44068520166
Are you like a valiant knight or something?

+44198572007
Hahaha
A knight
People aren’t knights

+44068520166
I know you can’t actually be a knight
I mean it’s a good thing you’re doing for the community

+44198572007
Right

+44068520166
Right....

+44198572007
I’ve been lucky in life
Now that I’m able, I want to give back what I can

+44068520166
That’s....oddly sweet

+44198572007
Thanks?


+44068520166
Sounds more exciting that my plans

+44198572007
Which are?

+44068520166
These numbers aren’t going to invest themselves

+44198572007
On a Saturday?

+44068520166
The work never stops


+44198572007
I got to go Henry calls

+44068520166
Ahh of course
my man Henry
Planner of all Gala’s

[+44198572007 reacted ‘😂’ to ‘Planner of all Gala’s’]

Hope it goes well!

+44068520166
How’d the fundraiser go?

+44198572007
Do you make a habit of texting your wrong numbers?

+44068520166
You’ll be happy to know you are the first!
Call it curiosity
Or boredom

+44198572007
Those numbers not interesting?
But it went well!
We raised a lot

+44068520166
They are not
That’s good!
You should send the link if you have one for the fundraising

+44198572007
Why?

+44068520166
The company always needs new things to invest in

Friday July 16th

+44198572007
Did you just donate a quarter of a million pounds?

+44068520166
Hello to you too
But yes
Like you said I’m in a fortunate position
I’d like to give back what I can

+44198572007
You don’t know me

+44068520166
It’s not all about you
It’s a good cause
Don’t you mean to say “thank you”

+44198572007
Thank you

+44068520166
Your welcome
Actually
Maybe you could tell me who you are
Be nice to know who I'm texting
Stranger danger and all

+44198572007
I’m not sure that’s a good idea

+44068520166
Are you some kind of spy?

+44198572007
No
It’s more .....

+44068520166
Ok ok, I won’t ask
Maybe a name?
Knight...

+44198572007
You can call me Carl

+44068520166
Carl?

+44198572007
Carl

+44068520166
Nice to meet you
Knight Carl

+44198572007
And you are?

+44068520166
Nico

The Formula Gays


Lewis
Can you believe he donated £25,000
That’s a lot of money
He must be rich???
Even if it's from his company 

Kimi
He’s still on this?

Sebastian
You’re rich too!
He clearly believes in the cause
Isn’t this a good thing

Lewis
He doesn’t even know me?

Sebastian
Like he said it’s a good cause

Jenson
Lewis doesn’t believe people can be actually nice
did you tell him who you were?

Lewis
So I may have....
Told him my name is Carl

Fernando
ooooo this is getting messy

Lewis
Nothing has happened!!!

Sebastian
You couldn’t have just told him who you were

Lewis
What if he’s a fan
I don't want to have to change my number again


Jenson
you know you aren’t the only driver???
he could be a JB12 fan!!!
😠😠😠😠
plus he might not even like Formula 1

Lewis
Well he wouldn’t go for you
You’re right
Maybe I overreacted


[Jenson reacted 👎 to ‘Well he wouldn’t go for you’]

Kimi
You think -_-

Sebastian
Shhh babe
not everyone can be as emotionally mature and have it together like us


Kimi
🙄

Jenson
are you going to keep texting him?

Fernando
yeah carl
are you

Lewis
Last time I ever tell you guys anything

Daniel Schlosser

Daniel
So you donated £25,000 for him out of your own money.... 
And said it was from the company
Nico

Nico
Daniel
Look the cause is good

Daniel
that’s not the problem

Nico
What else would I do with it

Daniel
And it has nothing to do with this guy.....

Nico
Carl
What no

Daniel
Cause you don’t know him
He even said he wouldn’t tell you who he is!
What if he’s a serial killer

Nico
It’s not like he’s gonna text me again
I responded cause I was bored
It’s always so boring here
He was just
Something different
You know I was looking to donate anyway! 
It gave me a good reason
It's like it was fate


Daniel
If you say so
Just Be careful
Don’t give him your address or anything

Nico
I’m not that stupid
Again I doubt he’ll text back


Knight Carl


Carl
Whoever invented the treadmill clearly looked at medieval torture machines

Nico
Well I’ll swap you my next two meetings for your treadmill

Carl
Deal

Nico
You go to the gym in the middle of the day
Going to be real mate that’s crazy behaviour

Carl
Well the job demands it so


Nico
Keeping fit......
Mysterious history......
Are you sure you’re not a spy?

Carl
I can guarantee it

Nico
Exactly what a spy would say!
Ugh the meetings call

Carl
Wishing you luck!

[Nico reacted ❤️ to ‘Wishing you luck!]

 

Daniel Schlosser

Daniel
Was that him?


Nico
Who?



Daniel
Carl
Or you got a new beau
To smile at your phone for

Nico
I wasn’t smiling!

Daniel
If you say so
