aurora was still stressed. she had two months to prepare. it was late december, and she had her first gym session with fernando today. fernando had told her because they both lived in monaco, just like most formula one drivers, she could just use his gym. she thanked him alot, obviously. she got to his house at around 9am, where he took her to his gym and they got straight to working out.

"okay, for this exercise i have to kind of show you. i don't know what it's called." he admitted, aurora just laughed.

"that's fine." she said, waving it off.

"okay so, lie on your back, legs flat." he instructed her, she did as he asked quickly. "now.." he almost paused before he bent down and took ahold of her ankle. his cold rings made me shudder slightly. "so this one goes up," referring to her leg, she nodded. "and then this one needs to be bent." he said, pointing to her left leg, she bent it slightly. "no, no. like this." he corrected her, taking ahold of her thigh and pushing her leg up more. she got goosebumps at the sudden feeling of his hands on her under-thigh.

"okay, i get it. now what?" aurora asked, turning to fernando who was still sat down beside her.

"now, you take the leg that's up, and take it back down and so on. you're going to do this..30 times." he said, standing up and getting her water bottle. "here."

"thank you." she said. she began, it wasn't that hard, and it was just working on her legs. but after a while, her legs began to get tired. "jesus." she said to herself as she finished the first stage of the exercise.

"okay, no swap the legs around and do it again." he said. she did it in under 90 seconds. "good. up you get, we need to do neck training." fernando said, walking over to one of his chairs. "sit." she sat down on his chair, looking at him as he grabbed one of the devices used to help f1 drivers with their necks. "f1 drivers have to be able to carry 40kg on their necks. we're going to start of smaller, because in f2 the weight is smaller." he said as he placed 30 kg onto the seat next to him, before placing the head band attached onto her head. "so you're going to be pulling the opposite way." she nodded, it was quite difficult for her, letting out a groan when she was about to give up. "don't give in." fernando ordered her, "come on!" she was able to hold the 30kg well. fernando was actually impressed.

the rest of the session went well, they stayed working in there until about 1 pm. when they both agreed that she would be there at the same time tomorrow.

as she got into her car, her phone pinged. it was a new group chat she'd just been added to. it was labelled "the grid 🏎️" the person who had added her to it was charles leclerc. she picked up her phone and looked who was in it, there was the whole current grid, aswell as some past drivers like sebastian, jenson and fernando. she remembed fernando talking about it during their session. she typed a quick hello before leaving fernando's drive way and making her way back to her apartment.

on the drive, she got multiple pings now coming from her phone. she groaned as her phone buzzed another time, distracting her from the busy streets of monte-carlo. she eventually arrived back safe, getting into her apartment and immediately grab her phone to message on the group chat.

all the notifications were just drivers saying hi to her and to eachother. she smiled as she read the welcoming messages from most drivers.

"thank you guys! i'm good, you?" she typed back, before going onto instagram. she harmlessly scrolled through her feed, liking peoples posts.

she spent most of her day messaging on that group, making jokes. her phone buzzed once again and she sighed, having enough of the group chat. but it wasn't the harmless chat, it was her trainer. fernando. it was 11pm, what was he doing up and what was he doing messaging her.

"be careful who you make friends with, aurora. nobody is you friend on track. not even your team mate." was all the message read, she paused. why would he message her that.

"okay, but why would you message me that, especially at this time." she replied, staying on the chat and watching the bubble as he typed.

"wanted to give you a word of warning. seems like no one else will. i am helping you here." fernando replied, something about that message sent shivers down aurora's spine. it seemed like it was laced with something, laced with jealousy? she stopped herself, fernando would never be jealous of boys half his age making jokes with his driver. she laughed to herself.

"thank you?" she replied, she was still unsure of what he meant in the second sentence.

"get some sleep, mi pequeño." he replied, she didn't understand spanish. her being interested, she copied the text message and went to google. "get some sleep, my little one." her cheeks warmed up, you didn't know if it was the nickname or the fact he said she was his. she eventually typed back a response.

"okay, mon amour." she genuinely couldn't think of anything else to call him. she wasn't calling him daddy because she didn't know if he'd like that, and that was weird as fuck. she laughed again.

she turned her phone off, putting it to the side of her and letting her mind drift off until she was sleeping.

aurora lay in her bed, but heard a knock at her door. she got up to answer it. it was 4am? who was knocing on people doors at this time? she opened the door to see an out of breath fernando alonso.

"oh shit, are you okay?" she said quickly, pulling him into her apartment.

"can i kiss you?" he said, she froze.

"what?" she laughed, unsure if she heard him right.

"can i kiss you?" he repeated, summer just laughed in disbelief again, although her laugh died out when she realised fernando was being serious.

there was this awkward silence between them, which was soon broken as fernando smashed his lips onto hers, taking a fistful of her hair and tugging it back.

that was when she woke up. she had shocked herself. she couldn't be having dreams like that, her personal trainer, kissing her. never going to happen. she wanted to punish herself for this stupid dream, this nightmare. however, she was too tired, and she needed rest.

she had no idea on how to act now that she'd had a dream about him. was she meant to tell him? no. she immediately shut that thought down.

she woke up at around 11 am. that's when she realised she'd missed her alarms, she was missing her gym session. she instantly called fernando. he picked up almost instantly.

"sorry, i woke up late! do you think we could maybe extend the session?" she said, hopeful that he'd let her off.

"yes, be at my house by 1, i need to talk to you anyway." fernando said, his voice was deep.

"okay." she replied, saying her goodbyes and hanging up the phone.

she arived at his house at 1pm, just like he had asked. he told her to come in immediately, but went to the kitchen instead of taking her to the gym.

"so, i'm aware that you must be using up alot of fuel driving back and fourth, yes?" fernando asked, pouring a glass of water and drinking it.

"yeah, i mean i live of a different side of monaco." aurora said, her brows furrowed, unsure on where this conversation was going.

"why don't you just stay here? it's less fuel, we've already agreed to have a gym session almost every day." he said, shrugging.

"but.." she paused, she didn't have a reason that she shouldn't do this. fernando was right. "are you sure?"

"yes, you can pack you clothes at yours after the session. i can cook for you, i really don't mind. i have a spare bedroom, with a bathroom." fernando said, she thanked him greatly.

the month was fun, her and fernando had alot if fun together, training, watching movies and doing anything to entertain them. they'd cook and clean together, they both enjoyed it.
