Fallout

Sorry it's short guys, I'm trying to get something written in the busy times I've got right now! Sorry! I'll get back on the ball soon! Promise!

I layed sprawled out blissfully chilled as the plane headed to our next destination. Hungary. Kimi tried to insist on having me wait a few more days and fly out with him, but I declined. I needed some 'me' time, even if that was an hour or so on an aeroplane. And I didn't even really care to fly. But things had been so hectic since Silverstone, I needed some time to settle. Don't get me wrong, the week I'd spent in Switzerland with Kimi was utterly perfect, but a girl has to recoup. He'd wined and dined me, shown me anything I wanted to see in that beautiful country and spent many hours getting to know each other, if you get my drift...

I knew soon enough things were going to get crazy again, once I entered the paddock, and knowing the media like I do, there were going to be a few questions about mine and Kimi's relationship. Something was telling me I would have to answer them, I knew Kimi even better.

........

Ms Stark! Bella! Ms Stark!

I pushed passed the reporters, who were usually pretty cool with me, but today they were like vultures. I managed to get to the doorway of the media suite and turned to face them. "I'll be out soon to answer your questions" I told them, immediately turning back to head inside. Having a slight taste of it from the drivers point of view wasn't the most pleasant. I guess I had to get used to that this week.

"I take it there's fallout from a certain interview?" Sophia asked not even looking up from her desk. I slammed the door earning looks from other members on the team. I ignored them. "why do they have to get in the way like that? About something so miniscule as this" I whined, dropping down into my swivel chair. I grabbed my stuffed greyhound out of my rucksack and sat her on my desk. I stared at her, head in my hands, elbows on the desk.

"you know just as well as I that they know where to hit you." Soph said, sidling up to my neighouring desk, with a mug of milky coffee. I sighed, knowing she was right. "some of the guys lead pretty private lives outside the paddock sharing only what they choose to." I watched her sit on my desk. "but as you know, Kimi's a big character here, and after his relationship with Jenni, well, they're all ready to have their pound of flesh with his new lady" she added. "you got any skeletons in your closet you need to salt and burn before they get resurrected?"
