Just Him ❤

43. A dose of normality.

"Sexy lady." Seb stood behind Chloe wrapping his arms around her front. She looked at him in the reflection of the mirror as she brushed her hair, she'd just finished drying it. She smiled as he swept her hair to one side and started kissing and nuzzling her neck, his hands started to casually slide over her breasts, his moustache (that he'd had from Saturday and Chloe wasn't keen on) tickled her skin.

"Seb, we haven't got time for this right now." She turned to face him, his hands slid down to her bum.

"I think we have." He carried on kissing her neck.

"We have barely any food in the house and your kids will be here in two hours." She gently pushed him away. "We've got to go food shopping."

"Do it on the internet." He pulled her close again.

"And what are your daughters going to eat while we wait for it to be delivered?"

"I'll order take away." He grinned.

"Except you're not allowed take away, you're on the Antti diet remember?" She gently pushed him away again. "We'll go food shopping."

"You'd rather go food shopping than have sex with me?"

"I'd rather you be able to feed your daughters than have sex, yes." She replied.

"I'll be quick." He pulled her towards the bed.

"I'm sure you will be!" She giggled.

"Oh, now you'll pay!" He pulled her down with him, making her squeal.

They made their way slowly around the supermarket, Chloe pushing the trolley and Seb grabbing things from the shelves. It was a dose of normality that she'd been craving. Only two days ago they'd been in Australia and Seb had been racing around the Albert Park circuit, now they were slowly going around a supermarket, Chloe couldn't help but smile at the contrast. After the emotion of telling Seb her story on Saturday evening, they'd had to put it aside for the race on Sunday. It hadn't quite worked out as planned for him, finishing in 4th and missing out on the podium after being passed by Max in his Red Bull. Valtteri Bottas had won the race with Lewis 2nd. Chloe couldn't help but blame herself for Seb's race result, even though Seb had told her it was down to a lack of power on Lina's part and the team were investigating it. As soon as they were able to leave the circuit they'd gone back to the hotel and then to the airport with Antti, catching the first available flight home that she'd been able to book a couple of weeks ago. They'd returned home to Switzerland, exhausted, and spent the remainder of Monday laying in bed and talking over the race as well as what she'd told him on Saturday. He had calmed down a lot since she'd first told him about her rape, no doubt not setting eyes on Stephen had helped and she hoped Seb was coming to terms with it. He was happy to be home, even though having to go to Maranello on Thursday meant they only had three nights here. He was even happier to be seeing Mia and Leonie, he hadn't seen them for about two weeks and had missed them like mad.
"Seb?" She turned around scanning the aisle for him, tapping her foot impatiently. No doubt he'd been stopped by a race fan. She stood and waited, after another couple of minutes he returned armed with cakes, and a couple of bars of chocolate. He dropped them in to the trolley with a big grin on his face.

"What?" He was trying not to laugh at the expression on her face. "I'm hungry, and it's my day off."

"Put them back, Antti will go nuts."

"Can I use the excuse that they're for my kids?" He looked down in to the trolley.

"No, because I know you'll still eat them. Put them back, we haven't got time to muck about, we've got less than an hour to get out of here and get back." She laughed as he pulled a sad face and took the offending items back. Within ten minutes he was at it again, this time with Magnum ice creams and two tubs of Häagan-Daz.
