Belonging to the Iceman

A 60th to Remember

Sacha angrily pounded his fist on the bathroom door.

"VICTORIA!!" He yelled "UNLOCK THE DOOR! I NEED MY WATCH!"

Nicolas smiled as he watched Shantelle sit at her dresser and carefully apply the finishing touches to her makeup.

She was wearing a stunning, deep purple floor-length gown with hand-sewn crystals on the bodice of the dress.

A diamond necklace lay snug around her next and matching diamond earrings dangled from her ears. Her long brown hair had been delicately curled and drawn back in a half ponytail, which was held in place with Nicolas' grandmother's old diamond hairclip, and silver heels were on her feet.

A silver and purple clutch sat on the bed, with a matching purple shawl in case she got chilly.

"You'd better go and save Sacha from killing Victoria, my Nico!" She told him, hearing the twenty-four-year-old nearly go mental at his sister.

They had just fifteen minutes to be completely ready for Alain's 60th birthday Banquet that was being held in the Opera Ballroom of the Paris - Le Grand one of the finest and oldest Hotels in the entire city.

"Here!" Shantelle offered, quickly heading to the bathroom door "Let me Sacha!"

He finally gave in, letting the Australian work her magic.

"Victoria?" She said softly, gently tapping on the door with her knuckles. "Open the door for me, what's wrong?"

The door opened and Victoria held out Sacha's watch which he snatched greedily, putting it on his left wrist quickly. It was a Tag Heuer given to him by his Father.

But Shantelle noticed that the young woman had plastered her makeup way too much which made her look like a prostitute.

"Want me to touch up that makeup of yours, Sister?" She asked, smiling.

Victoria gave her a teary smile and sobbed "how can you fix it? I ruined it! Look!"

Shantelle smiled gently and wiped it all off quickly.

"Mon Amour!" Nicolas said from the bathroom door as his fiancée was gently applying a beautiful gloss to Victoria's plump lips. "We have to go!! And don't put too much makeup on her; Mum and Dad will not like it!"

"NICO!" Victoria growled as Shantelle applied a light-coloured eye shadow to her eyes.

"Perfect!" She said, smiling at the daughter of Alain Prost.

Alain and Anne Marie waited together for their children to arrive.

The stunning Opera Ballroom looked magical for the Professor's sixtieth birthday celebrations.

Over one hundred people had been invited, including some of the legends of Formula One, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Emerson Fittipaldi, Niki Lauda, and Keke Rosberg to name a few.

A lot of his close friends had come as well.

The Senna family were there too.

Even some of the current drivers in Formula One, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Mark Webber and Jenson Button.

Alain was deeply moved as he gazed at his family and friends, they had come from all over the world to be with him for his birthday.

Finally, his children arrived.

"About time!" He whispered to Nicolas as they hugged "What kept you?"

"Victoria wouldn't give Sacha his watch and had plastered makeup all over her face!" Nicolas answered.
