After her dad tragically passed away, when she was 12, she moved in with the uncle she never knew she had, Fernando Alonso.
She becomes fast friends with a few familiar names, one in particular😉.
In that moment I had a mini heart attack, I mean I knew he did love me, but to hear him say it on live television in front of everyone was something else.
I'm now on the plane to the UK, not just any plane, his plane.
So much has happened since Spain. He got second in Spain, I was glad Carlos got a home race win. During the race I told Fernando about it all, he was cool with it, he trusted Charles. After the race I ran straight to where the cars parked before I knew it, I was in his arms, on live TV snogging him, I told him then I loved him too, it was honestly an out of body experience. Are we still doing the whole deny, deny, deny thing to the media? of course, but they all knew we were lying.
I went back to Italy with Fernando for two days, I packed away some of my stuff, Fernando had bought a house in Spain, so he was packing as well, we also set up a lunch in the winter break with Oscar (his and my dad's old friend).
Then I went off to France for the next race, Pierre did do his party, that was great fun. Unsurprisingly his new girlfriend, Kika, was there, she was even more beautiful in person and not only that she was so freaking nice. Charles got third in that race.
Then we had Austria which to be honest was pretty boring, nothing really happened, Charles only got fifth so he wasn't too happy, I couldn't go to the beach and I overall wasn't too thrilled being there. Until the Sunday evening after the race, I was sat in the hotel with Charles, we were on the vino, when I received a phone call. It was ITV asking me if I wanted to go on This Morning, I couldn't accept quicker, they wanted me to share my story, it was for the Tuesday after the race.
I was buzzing for Silverstone, not only was I getting a dog but I was also going on the TV show I remember my dad watching. It still didn't feel real. The day after my interview, Charles and I were also going to the house for the first time as ours. Each time I went back to Italy for a few days I had been frantically packing.
Currently, I was laying on the my seat opposite Charles. As I was stubborn as anything, I still refuse to use the bed on his plane, so I had the covers off the bed wrapped around me. Even though our flight was daytime, I had been really busy the night before, Charles came to Italy for a two days to help me pack, I had barely slept, so I was taking the flight as an opportunity.
When I woke up I was greeted by Charles posting on his Instagram.

Gorgeous as ever @EstrellaAlonso Love you.
"Why?" I showed him the phone, my voice all croaky from sleep.
"Because you're beautiful always, and I felt like sharing" I got up and snuggled into him.
"You're warm" He always was.
"We still have two hours, go back to sleep Etoile" He stroked my hair until I fell asleep.
He knew by now to wake me before we landed, I had ten minutes to wake myself up before the plane started landing in Heathrow. It was the closest airport to the place we're picking the dog up from.
