Untouchable - Ollie Bearman

12. - Bianca

I sat in my room for the next 3 days, thinking about what Ollie did. I have had a crush on this boy for over 3 months now. Over summer he haunted my mind, so why at that moment after the race did I turn him down?

Having a job in any level of racing is difficult to manage, as you have race weekends, theory weekends (where you have to learn about how the car works), training on simulators and just for general fitness, so also having a relationship is challenging. But having a relationship with my teammate for at least a season, maybe longer? That leaves no room for error. One mistake that causes a breakup could have a huge impact on the team. The chemistry between me and Ollie is strong, and we work well with each other on and off the track, but a real breakup could change that.

A PR only relationship is what is best for us both right now. And when we "break up", I am sure those feelings will just fly away.

But do I want them to fade away? This is my one opportunity to get with Ollie, why should I waste it? Ollie is all the things I could ever dream of having as a boyfriend. He is smart, funny, annoying at times, and amazing on and off the track.

"Bianca?"
That word broke my chain of thought completely. It is 11pm at night, who would come knocking now.

When I opened the door, Daniel Ricciardo stood at my doorstep.
"We need to talk about Ollie."
And with that, I was obligated to let him in. He sat down and immediately stated exactly what my original thoughts had been.

"Bianca. I have known Ollie since he was 9 years old, and competing in karting competitions. Of course he told me after Bahrain that he was head over heels for you. So when he kissed you on Sunday I was the first one to get excited. I was literally dancing around the Red Bull garage, even Christian Horner was giving me a strange look. Because I knew you two would be a great couple. A power couple. And I know you like him, its obvious. So why did you reject him?"

He saw right through me. Right through my false feelings and straight into my heart.
"I didn't want their to be that pressure with the media. If me and Ollie broke up for real.. I couldn't face him. Daniel I like him back I really do.. but what if something goes wrong?"
Daniel gave me a hug, trying to comfort me.

"Bianca. You know Heidi? Her father was my old mentor. He was my idol. And when I found out his daughter was the same age as me, we were inseparable. I was head over heels for her when I was your age, but I never asked her out because I was afraid of the same reasons you were. I was in F3 and it was taking a toll on me, so I didn't have time for a full time relationship. I didn't get another chance with her for 13 years. It is only last summer that we reconnected and I plucked up the courage to ask her. But recently I asked her about that time when we were 18, and she said she would have absolutely said yes if I asked her out. So I could have been with her 13 years ago, and probably still have lasted. Find your chance and sieze it, and right now, that chance is today."

At that moment I knew what I had to do. Danny was right.
"Thanks Danny!" I said as I ran out of the door. I saw a cab conveniently driving by outside my hotel, and when I jumped in, I immediately plugged in the address on his sat-nav.

When I arrived at my desired location I knocked on the door. I was greeted with a sleepy and confused figure, who had no idea what was about to hit him.
"I love you Ollie Bearman." I said as I leaned in and kissed him. This one was for real, I meant it, and it was going to last every second that I could make it.

AN: sorry for the long chapter guys! Over 700 words 🙈 hope you all enjoyed. I will get back to racing and the twitter side of the story in the next few chapters. Leave a comment on what you think so far!
