Chapter 5: No Excuses

Lance is back from Montreal, he was waiting for Esteban to pick him up from the airport, but he can't find him. So, he decided to have a walk around the airport's shops, but suddenly someone puts his hands into Lance's eyes.

"Who's waiting for me at the airport? Is it Olivia, Annabel or Esteban?"

"I'm not telling you, because you'll understand me. Turn your head." Esteban said while Lance was turning his head towards him.

"Oh dear, what are you doing here? Who told you to come?"

"I came alone, idiot. What could I do? Wouldn't I come? Anyway, how did you go on Thanksgiving Day?

"I had a great time in Canada, I met my childhood friends because I missed them so much, my cousins, my family, my uncle, my aunt and my grandfather and then we ate, drank and having fun. Also, I bought you a syrup maple to drink green tea, 10 postcards, a souvenir, Canadian warm socks, for girls I bought t-shirts and shorts (near both), some chocolates, I also bought 2 headsets, a scarf (I got pink both), 2 pink bags, these and fortunately I have a lot of money. "

"Oh thank you very much for your 'Canadian' gifts. I like them. You don't need to buy us presents, are we going to have coffee? I see you have headaches."

"Yes, after a long flight, I have a serious headache. Why not?"

4 hours later...

They went for coffee to spend time together and sat in the cafeteria. A surprise that awaits them both.

They saw Anabelle's third older brother, Maximillien, who works as a waiter at Le Peloton Cafe every morning because of his studies, earning a law degree at Harvard University. Now, he has done a master's degree in forensics to combine law.

"Bonjour, est-ce que Vous commandez quelque chose?" He said in French while Esteban recognized him so well.

"Did I meet you somewhere? I see another person."

"No, I'm not another person, but I had changed my hair because they were burned by the sun when I went to the beach with my friends."

"Oh well, fine I'd like a cappuccino medium to sweet with black sugar, while Lance would rather ordering tea because of a long flight, what would you taste when you had a long flight?"

"Cappuccino, Fortunately, we have, but we forgot to write it, okay?"

"Why not, and 2 chocolate waffles, please."

"Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes."

15 minutes later...

"Guys, come on. Bon appetitè! If I have time, we'll talk."

"It doesn't matter, let's not bother you anymore."

The owner of the cafe appears and recognizes two f1 drivers.

"What did future F1 drivers do, young man? Maximilian is a brave person and works hard, communicates with clients, sometimes makes funny words and everyone laughs, even me."

"Seriously? Do you know the reason why all the people came? We know the reason: Because he's our best friend's brother. How many siblings do you have?"

"Firstly, because they like the place, the staff, us and it has a warm atmosphere. Secondly, I'm Annabelle's 3rd brother before our parents split when I'm 5 years old and thirdly, we are 2 brothers and 3 sisters from the same parents, of course, because one of his friends saw my father having sex with his employee after her husband separated. Also, my mother understood this and so gave him a second chance at their marriage."

"Everyone can give a second chance because it is more important."

"Yeah, we know that."

10 hours later...

Message from Annabelle to Lance

Hey, Lance. How is your day in Montreal? I think you will return to France because, in 3 days, we will be in Marseille to compete with Sorbonne University and we need your support, so you should see us.

Hi Annabelle. My day in Montreal is perfect and fun because they invited us to dine for Thanksgiving day. Probably, it's my mom's idea to go there, We'll probably come in 3 days, don't panic, okay? See you soon.

2 days later...

Annabelle returns to Lance's house to visit him. She explained to him what's going on in Canada if he's got all the gifts if he wants them to come too and the most important, family dinner.

"Welcome back, how is your trip to Canada going, have you bought us a gift, when will we come too, and how is family dinner going?" Annabelle questioned while Lance answered all of her questions.

"First of all, my trip to Canada is a little bit tiring, but in the end I enjoyed it. Secondly, I don't want to tell you because Esteban and Olivia will come over, thirdly, I want you to come for Christmas and last but not least: family dinner is enjoyable, exciting and amazing. "

"Oh, what a perfect one. I could travel around the world and meet new people in Canada and see my twin brother, who is studying in Toronto, Ontario."

"Where did he study?"

"Studied in the health humanities at Scarborough due to scholarship. "

"I'm so glad for him, he deserves it so much. I hope he will achieve his goal. Anyway, let's start our Christmas decorations before they come".

They start decorating the Christmas tree and other decorations with the smell of winter.

1,5 months later...

It's 7 am and Esteban wakes up to see the Christmas tree before he has made breakfast. He feels weird.

"Wow, what the hell was that? Who decorates this? Hm, anyway I will make breakfast and will see."

"Bonjour frèrot. How are you?" Esteban said while Lance is awake and smell a breakfast.

"I'm fine, you? Winter is coming in a few days and I'm proud of it. This is a Christmas tree and we were decorating it because there's no excuse about it."

"Finally, for the first time, we will be forever alone. Do you want to tell me something?" He asked while Lance was stretching his body before he answered.

"Of course, I want to tell that Olivia and Annabelle will travel to Montreal and Toronto. Will you come with us? Also, I have a present for you."

"I'm thrilled to be part of this team."

"Good,now get prepared for the long journey because there's no more excuses".

"I can't wait for the long holiday together. Which place did you want to visit?"

"I have something in my mind and I hope you will enjoy these new places including:New York,L.A,Montreal,Bangkok and Seoul,right?"

"I'm ready for it".
