"So how are you and Arabella?" Seb asked me as we sat amongst the other drivers, waiting for the fans to come in to have photos with us and for us to sign cards for them. This wasn't that unpleasant, but I'd still rather be sleeping or drinking. "she'd kill you if she heard you call her that" I answered, hearing Sebastian scoff at my feeble attempt to ignore his question, so I shrugged in response to my team mate. "C'mon Kimi. What's holding you back?" he whispered to me. I shrugged again, then shuffling the hat on my head a little. "You tell me to go for it with Sophia" he whispered to me, as the fans began lining up to move down the row of drivers. I sighed. He was right. I kept telling him to make a move on Sophia, it was clear they liked each other, but I ignored his encouragement with Bella. I glanced over Seb's shoulder, seeing her standing with Sophia, giggling at something. I held back a smile, I thought she was awesome, but the cautious side of me held back. She was still young; although I was married by the time I was 20. I sighed, my marriage went terribly wrong, Jenni cheated on me, we divorced 2 years ago, and now I was getting everyone asking me if I had a woman. No I didn't, but I did have my eye on someone, but was it wise that it was my PA?

"so how is Kimi getting to the dinner?" Sophia asked me as we stood behind the guys watching the chaos that was ensuing, the fans screaming and waving and thrusting cameras in the guy's faces. "he's taking a car" I replied to her, glancing from her to the back of Kimi's head. I heard her sigh. "what?" I laughed at her, "I want you and Kimi to hook up" she sighed, I shot my head round to look at her, "what!?" I gasped at her. she grinned at me and blushed lightly, "c'mon Bells, your babies would be soo cute!" she gushed at me, my mouth dropped open, I was mortified. Sophia laughed at me, "oh Bella, you guys get on soo well, he's gorgeous, you must fancy him?" she asked me. I screwed up my face. "I work with the guy" I told her, "so?" she grinned, I smirked, thinking about her feelings for Seb. I shrugged. "don't you think he's handsome?" she grinned, her gleaming white teeth dazzling me. I glanced at Kimi and then back to her, "of course I do, I always have" I blushed. She grinned at me and nudged me in the side. "but I just can't go there" I said, looking to the floor a little. it was the first time I had actually admitted it to myself let alone anyone else. "why?" she asked me softly, I shrugged, "cause I'd get hurt. I can't let myself fall, he's Kimi Raikkonen, and I'm me"
