Secrets

Strike A Pose

"You look beautiful" he said, as he took my hand, walking me through to where he was originally headed. "Oh, thank you" I smiled, looking up at him as he looked me up and down. I did feel pretty today in my floaty lemon sundress and white sandals. "You always do," he smiled sweetly, my stomach was rolling over. I blushed in response and followed him through the doors of their garage.

"Okay Hulk, can we get you into your race suit and then we can begin the shoot" I assumed that was the director. "Okay" he replied in his usual chirpy way. "I assume you're his groupie?" he winked at me, I smiled catching onto his joke, "Something like that" I laughed back. Nico looked between us both and raised an eyebrow at me. "something like that?" he repeated, causing me to laugh again. "yeah" I answered, "hmm" he responded and kissed my head.

......................................

After five minutes had passed, he was back out in his suit, and I must admit, I never get tired of seeing him in that. My heart fluttered and my face flushed a little as he walked out and smiled at me. I bit my lip a little and returned his smile. "Okay Hulk, Nina is going to give you a little make-up and then we're going to head out to the car on the track" the director told him, to which he nodded, but I was on the look out for this Nina. Don't get me wrong, she was doing her job, which was also my forte, and I didn't particularly like her doing what I could be doing. Especially when she was leaning far too close to him only to add a little powder to his face. I knew every thing she should be doing and what was an added extra, her body language being one of them.

My eyes never left her, well, until his mechanic Steve walked into the garage and saw me. "Miss Hulk!" he laughed loudly seeing me for the first time. I laughed and welcomed his embrace. "Hey Steve" I beamed at him, "glad you're back!" he bellowed at me, grinning from ear to ear. "Me too" I giggled, "that one hasn't stopped grinning since he knew you landed!" he laughed, pointing over to Nico. I glanced in his direction and Nico was blushing a little but smiling at me too, which made me blush. The make up girl looked quite disgusted at me but it made me snigger. "Well I'm glad to be back, it's been too long" I told Steve, looking back to him. he winked at me, "I'll catch up with you later" he said, making me nod, "we gotta get the car out onto the track for all of this nonsense" he said, making me laugh, "yeah, let's hope its not for too long either, its sweltering out there" I giggled, "not half," he sighed, "I'm sweating my bits off in this" he said, pulling at his race suit. I giggled again and watched him walk to Nico's car.

"you're all done Mr Hulkenberg" I heard a shrill little voice, causing me to look over to see Nico stand up from his chair, "thank you" he nodded politely at Nina, and immediately stepped away from her and over to me. I felt her eyes burning into me through Nico's back as he reached me. "Are you okay?" he asked, looking down at me, lifting both his hands to my face, caressing my cheeks gently with his thumbs. "Uh-huh" I blushed, looking into those blue eyes. The earlier rage that Nina had bubbled up in me immediately subsided once he looked at me. "Nico we're ready" the director called to him, interrupting our moment. "You better go, I don't want to get you in trouble" I said. He sighed and nodded, "come with me" he said, removing his hands from my face and taking my hand instead. Before I had chance to comment, he pulled me outside with him into the blistering heat.

. .................

"That's great Hulk! Just one more on the wheel and I think we're done" the director called out to him as the driver positioned himself on the front left tire of his car. Sitting up straight with his helmet resting on his right thigh and his forearm on the top of that, he looked to the camera and the photographer clicked away. God he looked good out there. "And we're done!" he called out and everyone clapped for him. Myself included.

Everyone was glad to get inside the garage again to get out of the heat, even though they weren't air conditioned, yet me, Nico, Steve and another two of the mechanics stayed out. The guys needed to push the car back into the garage and of course Nico had to stay out with his car to make sure it was okay...so naturally I did too, any time spent near that thing was good enough for me!

"Wanna ride it back?!" I heard a voice call to me. Startled, I flung my head up from staring at it and saw the guys looking at me. "What?!" I gasped excitedly. "Wanna get in?" Steve asked me whilst laughing at my expression. "F-hell yeah!" I blushed, nearly swearing at them. They all laughed and I tottered over to the car in my heels as they all stood around it.

"Of course Nico will be steering it..." he added, making me sigh. "So I can't do that?" I pouted, making them laugh. "No way" Steve chuckled. "Women drivers and all that..." he mumbled loud enough for me to hear, "I'll remember to tell the Wolff that..." I replied sassily, making Nico chuckle. "Yeah yeah, get in" he laughed at me, as I watched Nico climb into the cockpit. Then suddenly it hit me, I was going to have to sit on Nico's lap. I guess since he said earlier I was his girlfriend they thought I wouldn't have had a problem with that, but honestly it had shocked me he did say that, and I was still coming to terms with it really. But looking at the cockpit seeing Nico looking at me expectantly, waiting for me to climb in, I didn't really have a choice. So, I quickly slipped off my heels, grabbed the hem of my dress tight so I didn't flash anyone and daintily climbed into the car, careful not to step on Nico as I did.

It was a tight squeeze, but I managed to gently slip down onto Nico's lap. "Comfy?" he whispered into my ear as the car began to move. I couldn't help but smile at his question, but instead I discreetly wiggled my bum against him as I looked ahead and watched as we moved slowly back into the garage.

My back was pressed against his chest so he could see over me, ahead of us, so he could steer the car into the pit lane. I knew he was enjoying this maybe a tiny little bit more than me, as I felt a slight bulge in his race suit. I admit it made me a little bashful, but it got my pulse racing too. Admittedly, this was the most bodily contact we had had since back in his hotel room in Italy and quite frankly it was about time.

As we arrived outside of the garage, Steve and the other mechanics placed the board under the car and Nico let go of the wheel and the guys slid us into position in the garage. "That was ace" I giggled to Steve as he came over to help me out of the car. "That's as close as I'm gonna get to letting you drive her" he laughed, making me grin. "That's okay, I'm happy with that" I giggled. He chuckled too as he helped to out of the car. I let go of his hand and began to slip my heels back on.

"See you guys tomorrow," he said to us both. "Oh, see you tomorrow" I smiled at him, seeing him and the other mechanics about to leave. "and thanks for today" I smiled at them, they all winked and nodded, "thanks guys, see you in the morning" Nico smiled at them, as he climbed out of the car.

"Do you have to leave now?" that gentle German accent wafted into my ears. I looked up from the shoe I was adjusting and saw him watching me. I smiled and shook my head, "I'm free all day" I shrugged at him, making him smile. "Cool. Shall we head out?" he offered, "okay" I smiled and nodded. "Let me just get out of this" he said, pulling on his race suit. I nodded and followed him over to his private room.
