Talks At Turn 21

Q2 came and went and both Force Indias were out. Paul 12th and Nico 10th. Not a bad placing at all for midfield teams. Me and Nico's friends stayed out at turn 21, nice low speeds for us to get good views or the car before they burst into high speed before the next corner.

My phone buzzed in my pocket as I got up to use the bathroom, Q3 not too far away.

My good luck charm :) xxx

I beamed a smile to myself at his message. I put my phone back into my pocket and made my way to the bathroom.

.......

Lets hope I am lucky tomorrow xxx

I replied once I had taken my seat once again, finding that Jasper (a other name I learned) had gotten me a much needed beverage. "thanks, it's so warm even at this time" I said to him. He grinned and nodded. "let me guess, that is Nico?" he said, hearing my phone jingle and vibrate. I smiled. "how are you and he? Obviously I saw you earlier. We all did" he chuckled, "but we are his best friends, we want what is best for him" he added. Suddenly I felt I was being placed under the microscope.

I looked down to my lap, feeling a little strange telling him stuff when I'd only just met him. "well, it's been a crazy week..." I sighed, not really wanting to relive it. "but Nico explained what happened, others did too, deep down I knew he wasn't a bad guy. I just needed to get to the bottom of it" I said. "you know Amy is crazy though" another voice joined the conversation. Jacob, who was sitting in front of us, turned around to us. I didn't really know how to react to that. "um well..."
"no one liked her, we told Nico to leave her. She was no good for him. He was never truly happy"
"but now, my god! Since he met you it is like he has won the championship!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly. I blushed like crazy and covered my face with my hands in shyness. The guys laughed. "you know how he feels about you right?" Jasper asked, "like how he really feels about you" Jacob added. I looked between the two of them nervously. "I... I think so..." I bit my lip, feeling anxious if the thought flashed through my head. Jacob winked. "you better lady. He is hooked." okay, maybe the tweet was something. Oh sweet Jesus. Was I ready for this? Did I really want this? Thoughts whirled through my mind as they did last night, but the reminder of my phone vibrating again, made me pull it out my pocket, forgetting Nico had replied to me.

Me too. I'd like another kiss too :) xxx

My stomach did a double flip and I couldn't help but smile.

Think you're pushing your luck there Hulk ;) xx

We passed messages back and forth, him being his usual sweet self, and me teasing him. He asked if I was still at the track and told me he was at his hotel now, winding down and getting rest for tomorrow.

Will you be trackside tomorrow? Xxx

I smiled at his last text. I knew he wanted me in his garage again, but we hadn't really spoken about anything since he told me what had happened. He didn't even know I'd spoken to Talon either. I guess me kissing him was totally out of the blue to him. But he didn't object did he. I giggled to myself.

No, I'm not xxx

Oh I was mean. I wasn't going to just jump back into it again with him. Was I?

Will you be at the circuit? Xx

Yeah, will be in the garage I think xx

Oh. Okay. Well I guess I'll see you in the paddock then maybe? Xx

Yeah I was really mean. But I wasn't going to tell him I was intending on being in his side of the garage as I was always meant to be. I didn't want anything to distract him from the race. And, well, maybe I had some surprises up my sleeve...
