Sofia had arrived in Monaco with Carlos on the tuesday before the race weekend. They had stayed in Spain a lot longer than the other drivers, to allow them to spend time with family and friends. They checked into their hotel then Sofia went to Carlos' room because she got bored. She knocked.
"Come in" she heard in his thick spanish accent, just like her own
"Holaaaa"
"Hola, we are just out on the balcony, care to join us?"
"we?" she asked walking out, but her question was answered when she saw Lando sat there, Glass of orange juice in his hand.
"You know, apple juice is so much better" she said smirking
"You know your wrong?"
"Sorry Lando but for once i actually agree with Sofia"
Lando rolled his eyes as the two spaniards laughed. Sofia took a seat next to Lando on the bench he was sat at. He casually laid his arm over then back of the bench, behind Sofia.
"When is the euros squad announcement?" he asked her
"Friday. I'm so nervous"
"Sof, you have no need to be. your one of the best footballers i've seen!"
She looked at him and smiled.
"thanks Lan"
Carlos watched this interaction, smiling at the two. He always hated the thought of someone dating his sister, especially another driver, and especially his ex-teammate. but with the way they interacted, he knew he needed to make it happen.

Thursday came around quickly. Sofia loved Monaco, and walking into the paddock just topped it all off. It wasn't too busy as today was only media day, but since she had nothing else to do. She decided to make an appearance.Charles jogged up to her and put his arm round her shoulders.
"bonjour"
"hola"
"guess what"
"go on"
"remember that girl i was telling you about"
"yes"
"she's in monaco this weekend"
"oh my gosh that's amazing! is she coming in the paddock"
"well no, i can't be seen with her can i?"
"oh yeah"
She was really bummed out by this PR relationship thing. She wanted Charles to be happy.
"ooh i know, what if i walked in with her. that way we would both be in the garage watching you. the press would just think she was my friend."
"you'd do that for me?"
"of course i would Charles, is that even a question?!"
"Thankyou Sof" he said giving her a hug, to which she happily hugged back
"She's called Alexandra. I'll introduce you tomorrow morning before we enter the paddock"
"perfect"
"i've got interviews so i need to rush off. Thankyou Sof"
He gave her a kiss to the top of her head then jogged back off. Sof smiled. She knew Charles didn't want to be in this PR relationship just as much as she didn't but she could atleast help him along with his real relationship the best she could.

She walked towards the mclaren garage.
"Danny!"
"Oh hey Sof, good to see you"
"I'm glad your here, otherwise i was just walking towards the wrong team"
they both let out a laugh
"what brings you to the papaya side of the pitlane then?"
"is lando here?"
"no but he should be back any minute, why? do you need him?"
she thought about it. why did she come here? she didn't need anything from Lando.
"no" she said honestly "just wanted to say hi"
daniel looked at her skeptically but kept his thoughts to himself.
"ok then if you say so"
as if on cue, lando walked into the garage
"Landoooooo, Sof is here"
and with that, Daniel walked off after giving her a quick hug.
"oh hey Sof, how are you?"
"i'm good thanks"
"what brings you here"
"i don't know"
"you don't know"
"yeah i just knew you'd be here so i came for a wander"
Lando smiled. it meant more to him than anyone could know that she came here to find him. and for no particular reason. She snapped him out of it when she spoke again.
"are you busy right now?"
"i don't think so why"
"well i'm bored soooo"
"come on" he said, gently taking her hand in his.
"where are we going" she asked as she was being led through mclaren and up some stairs. They stopped at landos driver room as they both went in. She stood by the door as Lando sat down on the couch. He looked up at her expectantly.
"are you sitting down or are you gonna stand there awkwardly"
She smiled and rolled her eyes before taking a place next to him
"why did we come here?"
"well you were bored so i thought we could spend some time together" he said as he turned his head to smile at her.
"yeah sounds good" she said as she smiled back. "i'm spending the day with Charles'......ummm.....friend? tomorrow" she said friend as more of a question.
"you don't sound so sure about that"
"she's a girl he's talking to, but i don't know if they are together or what they are really"
"what about you?"
"me? i'm only a PR relationship. im not bothered"
"ah ok, so as long as she's with you then it doesn't seem strange?"
"exactly"
"so your both seeing other people during this"
"as long as it's kept a secret then yeah i guess"
he stayed silent while he contemplated the question. he turned on an angle to be more facing towards her.
"do you have your eyes on anyone."
"hmmmm...maybe" she said turning her face to look into his eyes.
She could sense...jealousy? no it couldn't be. It's just Lando.
"who?" he simply said
"that's for me to know and you to never find out"
"why will i never find out?"
"because i can't act on it"
"is it ben?"
"ew no, he's like a brother. that's basically insest"
he laughed before continuing on.
"mason?"
"nope"
"danny?"
"heidi?" she simply asked back
"fair point. is it a driver?"
"no" she said, but her cheeks went red
"ohhhh it so is. well it can't be danny. obviously not carlos. Pierre?"
"Kika?"
"ah of course. Fernando!!!"
"what about taylor swift?" she said laughing, which set Lando off too.
"i'm gonna answer all your guesses with no from now on so i don't give anything away"
"i'll find out, trust me. now come on let's go for a walk"
