Taura's POV
Later that night we were hanging out in our room. Just the four of us, it was the first time we all were traveling together.
We were just watching a movie, all laying together in bed.
Romeo next to Quinn, Ryle next to me.
He was trying to feel me up all evening and you know what, I just let him.
It felt good to be wanted sometimes.
We were laying under the blankets. Romeo and Quinn didn't pay much attention to us, I was quite sure they were feeling each other up under the blankets as well.
Ryle's hand went from my leg, traveled higher to my thigh.
His hand slide in my pants, playing with the hem of my panties.
Don't know why I let him do this, maybe because I was also attracted to him. Kind of.
His hand slide down my panties, he started fingering me. Softly, slowly, so Quinn and Romeo wouldn't notice.
I think he did it more for him than he did for me.
Wanted to prove that I also wanted him. Not in the way he wanted me though.
I turned my head, closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling.
Didn't think about Ryle, unfortunately, the person I was thinking about was the last person I actually wanted to think about.
Brown curls, blue-ish eyes, tanned, very kissable lips, a couple of freckles on his face.
Fuck.
I put my hand on his, making him stop. He had to stop before I would come, to someone I definitely didn't want to think about.
"Couldn't handle it anymore baby?" He whispered in my ear.
I didn't answer. Let him think that I, indeed, couldn't handle his touches anymore.
They left after the movie but Quinn kept looking at her phone, she didn't want to be here. I knew that.
"Just go" I laughed. "What do you mean?" She turned her head to me.
"Just go to Rome, you've been texting him since the minute he left" I pointed at her phone. "Just go sleep with him"
"Relationships aren't allowed in her-" she wanted to say they weren't allowed, but I quickly cut her off. "Who cares, just go Quinn"
She was hesitant for a while, but then got up and kissed my cheek. "You're the best"
"Use protection please" I yelled before she closed the door behind her.
I sighed as I grabbed my phone and scrolled through Instagram.
Until I fell asleep.
——————————-
The next day, I was working in the hospitality before the qualifying. I wanted to be prepared for this, for everything.
"It's time" Toto patted my back as he walked passed me.
I closed my laptop, got up and walked out of the hospitality.
I was ready for this - I could do this.
I was repeating this in my mind, over and over again.
Until I bumped into someone.
Norris.
Of course it had to be him. It was always him. He was everywhere - in my head, in this paddock, always in my damn way.
He just chuckled as he looked down on me. His lips around the straw of his water bottle.
"God damn, you should stop-" I waved my hand. "Stop being in my way all the time and being here all the time"
"I work here" he simply said. "I have to be here"
"Yeah maybe you work here, but you don't need to be in my way all the time - be around me all the time, like damn. Stop being everywhere - it's literally so annoy-" I rambled.
"Knox, stop talking"
"Sorry - I tend to overtalk when I'm nervous" I said.
Don't know why I admitted to that, especially to him.
"Oh, you're nervous, Knox?" He raised his eyebrow a little, smirk on his face.
"No, I mean yes - it's qualifying" I shrugged. "Bye Norris" I said before walking passed him and into the Mercedes garage.
I could hear him chuckle just before I walked in and it annoyed me so damn much.
I made my way to the pitwall, sitting down next to Bono.
I could do this. I could do this. I could do this.
