Three hours later we landed in Bahrain and I was feeling so sick from the flight. I hate heights and airplanes I don't know how I managed to be calm in this flight. We went to get our suitcases and while we were waiting I felt sick and run to find the bathroom and puked as soon as I got there. "Are you okey?" the Aussie said while I was washing my hands and my mouth " Yeah I am now" "You didn't seem okey before" I whipped my hands "I hate planes they make me sick and dizzy every time but I am okey now" "You sure?" "Yes Daniel now let's go back to the others"
As we were walking back I got a text message from Margot.
Mar<3
Heyy call me when you can

What's up?

Nothing just want to know what happened with Daniel 😏

I close my phone and continue walking to get my suitcase. Once we all got our luggage we had a van to take us to our hotel. After a 40 minute drive we arrived. The hotel was amazing and the view from my room mesmerizing. Bahrain is beautiful. My room is opposite of Daniels and the rest of the team is one floor below us except our PR managers and personal trainers who are on the same floor as us. I unpacked my stuff took a quick shower changed into some comfy clothes and laid on my bed.
After two hours of a good nap I started getting ready because all the team is having dinner tonight together to celebrate for the new season or whatever. I putted on black pants and a black top and my Dior converses. I curled my hair a little to have some waves and I putted on some makeup but not too much.
I heard a knock on my door.
"Hey I thought- wow "
I chuckled "what's up?" he smiles "I thought we should go together to the dinner" he said " Yeah sure"
I nodded and we got into the elevator and we were standing there in awkward silence "So... do you like Bahrain so far" he said and turned to look at me waiting for my answer "Yes it's beautiful" he nodded "Yes it is" he said I nodded and I started playing with my rings he noticed me "Are you nervous?" I looked back at him and his brown eyes Jesus "Um yeah a little. I have to admit that I am not a very sociable person" he took my hand and held it "it's okey it's going to be fine" I looked at our hands and then back at him " Thank you" I smiled and he smiled back he released my hand and we exited the elevator and walked to the lobby and to the exit to the hotel.
I checked the time "We are a little late"
I said walking towards his car Daniel gets in and then I get in and put on my seatbelt "Whatever we are the drivers anyway" He answered to my previous statement a little too confident "Whatever you say Ricciardo".
The rest of the drive was silent but not the awkward silence in the elevator a calming silence I was looking out the window the city of Bahrain. "We are here come on"
I get out of the car and follow Daniel inside towards the table where the rest of the team was.
"Hello everyone" Daniel said smiling
"Daniel, Elena hello please sit down" Zak said
I smile nodding I sit down next to a woman and Daniel next to me. Everyone returned to there conversations. Opposite of me I spot Calli my personal trainer " Hey Calli" she smiled at me " Elena hi, great now that you are opposite of me I can check what you will eat I hope you remember the diet I gave you last week" I widen my eyes " Of course I remember" I said jokingly as we both know that isn't true. "Not so shy anymore huh?" Daniel whispered in my ear and I could feel his breath, I swallowed feeling the butterflies in my stomach. I opened my mouth ready to answer when Zak got up and tapped his glass with his fork earning everybody's attention.
" Hello everyone I want to say welcome to the new members of the team, Amelia, Elenas PR manager" the woman next to me mouthed a thank you "and of course Elena Grey who had an excellent road until now and I can confidently say that she is a promising driver" people clapped and I smiled "So a toast to a good season for all of us with no mistakes and only high positions on the grid" Everyone clapped and drank to that. After that we ordered and returned to our conversations.

I turn to the woman next to me " Hi Amelia right?" " Yes hi,I will be your PR manager for this season" she said she seemed sweet " That's great I am looking forward to working together with you" she smiled " Yes me too. Sorry can I ask you something?" I looked at her confused " Depends. No I am kidding ask away" "So is it true that you have Greek origins?" I smiled how did she know "Yes it is true my mom was Greek and married my father who is from England and they married there and we moved to England but I still visited Greece" " That explains why you are so beautiful you look like a Greek goddess or something" Amelia said " Thank you so much but I don't think I am that pretty" "Girl have you looked in the mirror?" "Stop you are literally gorgeous too"
"wait you are from Greece?" Daniel interrupted our conversation I turned to look at him " Yeah my mom was from Greece" he looked at me with wide eyes "That explains a lot" I looked at him confused "What do you mean?" He takes a sip from his drink "Nothing" I roll my eyes " Come on say it" he smiles and shook his head "Nope you will never find out" "Come on I hate when people don't tell me things I will not stop until you tell me" he shrugs his shoulders and I give him a small punch on the shoulder " Hey that hurt" "liar I barely touched you" "Guys stop flirting we are trying to eat" the guy who blocked the entry at the meeting a few days ago said I think his name is Michael " We weren't flirting" I said "Yeah sure" he said "Shut up" Daniel said.
We were busy that we didn't notice the food was served.
After we ate and drunk and talked a lot about the upcoming season it was time to leave since we were all tired from the trip. Jet lagged hit me hard.
Me and Amelia were talking about how we hate airplanes while we walked towards he exit "They make me sick and my ears hurt"she said "I know right, but I somehow love traveling, visiting countries is literally the best feeling" she nodded " Yes it is. So this is my car want a ride?" I looked back and saw Daniel talking with Michael. I looked back to Amelia a little disappointed that Daniel won't give me a ride back "Yeah sure" I got in the car "So what's up with Daniel?" She asked when we got in the car"what do you mean?" "Well there was some tension back there" "No we are just teammates and he is very friendly" "Whatever you say Grey".
The rest of the drive we talked about f1 and other shorts of stuff until we arrived at the hotel. We said each other good night and went to our rooms. I laid on my bed for a few good minutes until I called Margot: "hey stranger" "hi mar" " so tell me everything" " okey okey. "So me and Daniel talked a lot today and he apologized for being rude to me about being a woman driver and I apologized for being mean.Oh and earlier today he drove me to the restaurant and yeah that's it" "interesting. So keep me updated" "oh I also met my PR and she is so sweet I think we will be good friends"
"Hey don't replace me" "never. Now goodbye I am very tired" "bye,talk to you soon". I closed the phone I changed my clothes into some comfier and took off my makeup. I heard a knock on my door and went to open the door.
"Daniel what are you doing here?" I said confused " I thought I was going to drive you back here" he said " I saw you busy talking with Michael and Amelia offered me a ride so"
He interrupted me " I was done talking to Michael I was looking for you I could have drove you back" " It's not a big deal Daniel" "Yes it is Elena" he takes a step closer " when I put something on my mind, I want it to happen"  I can feel his breath I take a shaky breath. He looks me in the eyes and then takes a step back and leaves.
What the fuck happened?
