#thread:blake

blake pushed his fingers through his blonde hair and smiled at the waiter. he’d been eyeing the man since the moment he’d sat down and he didn’t mean to be so obvious but he was. he had a hard time hiding when he was into someone or when he found them attractive. is there anything else i can get for you? he heard the man asked. he thought about it for a moment, “actually,” he slid his tongue over his bottom lip, a smirk crawling over his face. “i was hoping either you’d join me or you’d at least give me your number so that you could join me another time.” blake was pretty much always this forward but he couldn’t tell if the man was into him, or into men in general, or if he really just was as nice as he seemed while helping him.

blake was a natural flirt and not only that, he was friendly too. he’d always been a people person and he was such an easy guy to get along with. it was actually pretty hard not to like him. he had actually befriended quite a few of his coworkers, except the one girl he always seemed to only ever see in passing. of course, he flashed her a smile every time and it was almost like his way of inviting her to start up a conversation with him but after a while, he realized he was going to have to be the one to approach her. she seemed way too shy to be the one to come up to him. instead of walking right past her, as he normally would, he shifted his route and approached her as she carried two buckets of fish. “hey,” he greeted, his charming smile appearing on his lips as he finally spoke to her. “you need a hang with that?” he asked, holding his hand out for one of the buckets. he figured that would be a good enough excuse to be able to talk to her for a little bit, not that he needed an excuse, but it sounded good. “i’m blake, by the way.”

closed starter for @strawberrylaceswrites blake had just won the first race of the season in australia even after starting at P3 so he was very happy with that. he knew it was only the start but it was a positive start of the season which is what him and his team needed to stay in good spirits. blake had recently started dating his girlfriend mila and he knew this was going to be a tough season because he would want to be around her but also needed to be focus on the race. he was very lucky that milia had agreed to come to as many races as she could and with her being there for her first ever race in person and behind the paddock made it even more special. he knew she was a fan of the sport before they even met so it was nice to have her there supporting him. after he had done the interviews and de-brief and the whole spraying of champagne over each other, he went to find his girlfriend. As he walked into the paddock, he smiled at all of his team who congratulated him again and then found his way to Mila, "Well look at the most beautiful girl in the world and this paddock. how did i do? how was your first race in person and in the paddock?"
