Forbidden - secrets

5. who's missing who

Lewis was immediately thrown in the deep end as per usual, as soon as his jet landed and he had settled in his hotel, he was whisked off to do several promotional activities. He was used to this it was the same every race, every location. The Mercedes team investors and sponsors took up a lot of his time.

"This one is yours for the Spanish race week.." his race engineer said pointing to the 24, Mercedes sports model sitting in the parking bay. "This model hasn't even been released on to the market yet.."

Lewis looked over the car like a man nurturing his pride and joy. "Wow!.. what I gotta do to drive this baby for a few days?." He said knowing there was always a catch.

"Mercedes are launching this car this week here at the Grand Prix... they want you to promote it, drive it, and it will be televised... but they want you to ride with Alina... and I don't know how you would feel about that, after... well, you know..."

He nodded. "She's all for it... but as I said it's gonna be televised so if you feel that you need to tell Truly... then maybe you should..."

He took a deep breath. He shook his head. "She's gonna be too busy to watch it... let's just get it done..."

"Well first of all it is dinner tonight.. with the sponsors, and Alina... and tomorrow will be the televised show live... And then we can concentrate on the race weekend..."

He nodded. "Okay..." he said. Alina was an ex of his, an underwear model, she and Lewis had been linked in the past, before he got together with Truly and also once after they were together, which he quickly squashed the rumours for. She was a beautiful Brazilian model, 28 years old, and they were both very close.

Truly was aboard the jet bound for LA. She was going over the itinerary for the week ahead. She was tired if the truth was known and she wanted to sleep. She had Lewis fast on her mind, she sent him a message.

Truly
Hey you, how are you? How is Spain? I can't believe how far apart we are right now. I'm in the skies almost near LA. I miss you Lewis, this is one time that I probably wish you were here with me. Trying to conquer LA with my ambition is going to be harddddd. I would have felt a lot more confident with you by my side. Hit me back, I love you. x

She put her phone away and went back to her laptop. She saw a call coming in from Corel. "Yes Corel." She answered.

"Girl, when you touch down you have to go straight to a place in Calabasas, there will be a car waiting for you...
