"It's lights out and away we go!"
Carolin has never been more excited for a Grand Prix in her life. Starting the 2018 season as a test driver for Toro Rosso was already a dream come true. But after a terrible crash in Baku she gets the chance to dr...
"Can we go to bed now?", I asked Stoffel. I was cuddled into his arms. "Sure.", he pressed a kiss to my temple and got up from the sofa. "I think I'll sleep without a cushion. My neck is killing me.", I said as I walked to his bedroom. "Whatever feels best. Do you need some painkillers or something? Oh don't forget your ointment!", Stoffel was really taking care of me and it was lovely to be treated this way. "Painkillers aren't a bad idea you know.", I said as I walked into the bathroom. I started with my thigh and I had to admit it wasn't looking pleasant at all. I then tried go get the cream on my bum but failed miserably as I couldn't turn my head at all. Should I ask Stoffel? "Stoff!", I called through his flat. "Yes. I'm here ! Is everything alright?", he came sprinting in all frantic. "Yes it's just... It's really embarrassing but I can't put the ointment on my bum because I can't turn my head. And I thought you could but it was a stupid idea. Forget it.", I was bright red by this time. "Rubbish give my the tube. I'll do it.", he grabbed the tube and started. "Tell me if it hurts.". He was really gentle clearly trying his best to not make me hurt even more. He came to the most hurtful bit and I had to suck in air. "Frick I'm sorry. Sorry Lin. We are nearly done.", he pressed a kiss behind my ear. "It's fine.", I gritted my teeth. "All done.", he put the ointment down and looked me up and down. "He got you good, didn't he?", now a few hours after the crash all the bumps and bruises came to the surface. "He sure did.". I looked at myself in the mirror and realised something. Tears sprung to my eyes. "I'm so sorry.", I whispered feeling the lump in my throat building up. Stoffel saw the tears in my eyes and instantly looked worried. "Hey! What's the matter schat?", he asked taking my hands in his. "This could've easily been it. I always knew racing comes with big risks but today just showed me how big and real that risk is. I guess I just noticed that I was very lucky today.", I explained: "I was scared.". I pulled him into me. "Everyone is. Especially when someone has a nasty crash it reminds us just how dangerous this sport is. Don't worry,ok?", he was just perfect. "Let's go to bed. You are beat and so am I. Too much excitement for a day.", and so we walked into his bedroom. "Do you mind me reading a bit?", the Belgian asked. I shook my head and pulled my phone from the nightstand. I had 1 new text message. Could you maybe post something about you being alright? The fans are worried.~ Anäis Sure~ me

I'll be having a stiff neck for a week or so and I can't sit down since my bum is one big bruise but other than that I'm fine. 🤕💉💊Thank you all for the support! ✨#scuderiatororosso #GPMonaco #girlpower • lorenzzwe: #strongaf svandoorne: poor 👩🏼 #youshould'veseentheotherguy caro_fan_96: I'm glad you are ok! 💕 maxverstappen1: You still in Monaco? brendon_hartley: our stand up kid 💥 Scuderia_fan45: It's unfair that Vettel only got a 5 second penalty!

I tapped on whatsapp and messaged Max. Yes I'm staying the week.~me Great do you maybe wanna go for coffee or something? ;) ~ Max I bit my lip. Of course I'd like to I just don't know what Stoffel would think. "Uhm Stoff?", I asked. "Yes?", he looked up from his book. "Can I go for a coffee with Max this week?", I asked. "Why do you need my permission for that?", he asked. "I just thought because you know I thought I liked him and stuff.", I rolled on my side and immediately regretted it. I suppressed a yelp but I scrunched up my face in pain. "Lin I don't worry. You chose me and I'm confident that one coffee with Max wouldn't jeopardise that. Do it. You should be able to go out with your friends regardless of what we are.", he kissed me and turned back to his book.
Yes coffee sounds nice~me Ok, I'll let you know when? I know a place~Max Yes sounds good.~ me Ok I'm looking forward to it. ;)~ Max
The next morning I was feeling like crap. I groaned as I rolled on my side forgetting about all the bruising. "Babe what's wrong?", Stoffel asked in his deep morning voice. "Nothing I just forgot I crashed yesterday... It's not so bad. Don't worry.", I tried to play it down. "Don't try to fool me. You look like crap - no offence. I'll get you some painkillers. Stay.", he pressed a kiss to my lips. I squealed. "What?", Stoffel chuckled. "I haven't even brushed my teeth yet.", I whispered. "I don't care.", he kissed me again.
The meds started to kick in 20 minutes later and that made me feel kind of better. "Since you are basically out cold I thought we should watch a movie and I'll cook us some food. Maybe someone could come over?", Stoffel announced his plans. "Sounds good.". Suddenly he picked me up and carried me to the sofa. "Stoffel. I'm way too heavy.", I laughed. "Shut it woman.", he was grinning from ear to ear. The flat was tidied up and everything was where it belonged. "So about that movie. I think we watch too many so I have a different idea. How about we play Fifa?", I asked getting all excited. Stoffel hates Fifa so I knew that it was a long shot. "How about Esteban comes over and plays with you or invite Max. But please don't make me.", he looked at me with those damn puppy eyes of course I couldn't say no then. "Ok fine.", I sighed in defeat. Hey do you have time to come over and play Fifa? ~ me Sorry baby. I have a date ;) ~ Esteban Tell me more Mr. Baguette !!!! ~ me Later~ Esteban "Esteban doesn't have time... Can I really ask Max?", I questioned Stoffel. "Yes Lin.". Hi. Uhm this might be a bit out of the blue but do you maybe wann come round and play Fifa? Stoffel hates it and I hate playing on my own. ~ me I waited a few minutes for a reply and when my phone rang I immediately grabbed hold of it. "Wow maybe I should be getting jealous?", Stoffel joked. "Shut up!", I chuckled. Yes sure I'd like to. I am free today. Just send me the address and I'll come. x :)~ Max
