Dressed To Impress

Several hours later, I had been sitting in my hotel room going through tomorrow's plans when Kimi called me. So I grabbed my bag, phone and room key and made my way down the hall to his suite. Obviously he had to have the top suite in the hotel, I mean, he could afford it, so why not? Hmm...

So now I was sitting at the dining table carrying on from where I left off. I don't exactly know why he had called me, apart from saying he wanted some company, which he had done before, but I'd been with him most of the day. Anyway, he walked out of the bathroom, still wet from his shower, his hair fluffed up and a towel tied tight around his waist. I kept my eyes fixed on my paperwork as he walked passed me. I was used to seeing him like that, or shirtless at least, but since I had that talk with Soph, I felt a little more vulnerable. I can't really say why, but I think it was because I had opened up a little about my feelings for him when I knew I shouldn't have.

"how are you getting to the dinner?" Kimi asked me, taking my attention away from my planning. I looked up at him, seeing him sitting in the chair opposite me, leaning his tattooed forearms on the table. "I was going with Sophia, but Seb has asked to come with us, or her..." I said, smirking a little, which Kimi did too. "I have told him to" Kimi said, I raised my eyebrows up in surprise, "did he not want to?" I asked, he nodded, "he's scared" he grinned, a chuckle slipping out of his mouth. I grinned, shaking my head. "why don't you come with me" he said, "she'll kill me" I laughed at him, "so what." He shrugged. I bit my lip and thought about it for a moment. "okay" I nodded. Kimi grinned at me and then got off the chair and headed to his bedroom. I picked my phone up and text Sophia....

I'd left Kimi in his suite to head to my room so I could shower and changed for tonight. I had about an hour and a half to get sorted. I'd told Sophia that I was running late as I had a few alterations to make for Kimi's planner and I had to sort that before I could get ready. She seemed to believe me, and seemed happier than I expected, but I think that's because I was going to be arriving with Kimi...I wasn't going to think about that, I mean, we were only travelling there together, it didn't mean anything at all. We were doing it for Sophia and Seb.

I got ready pretty quickly, hair and make up done and I was just slipping into my strapless black dress. It wasn't the first time I had gotten dressed up for a team dinner, and I quite liked getting out of my red Ferrari shirt and trousers. I stepped into my gold glittery heels, grabbed my michael kors clutch when there was a knock on the door. I checked my reflection briefly and then answered the door.

"wow" Kimi smiled at me, making my heart flutter, against all my protests. I smiled at him shyly, and said hello. "looking good Raikkonen" I said, making him chuckle, as I tugged on his black bow tie. "I know" he replied, making me scoff at him. "c'mon then" I said, pulling the door shut. He laughed, lifting his arm to me, which I took and we headed down to the car outside the hotel.
