Just Him ❤

108. Back to Barcelona.

It was with a little reluctance that Chloe, along with Seb and Antti, entered the hospitality suite that Ferrari had got set up for a Pirelli tyre test in Barcelona. As arranged when they'd all met in the hotel's bar last night, Britta was sat waiting for her at a table in the corner. Seb squeezed her hand as they approached and gave her an encouraging smile as she looked at him, remembering the talk they had last night in bed. They stopped so that he could speak to her before he went to get changed and he placed his hands on her waist.
"Remember, you still have all of me and you always will, you won't be sharing me with Britta. Ok?"

"Ok." She nodded. He wasn't convinced by her answer and pressed his fingers under her chin, tilting her head up a little more to make her eyes look fully into his. Not caring that people were watching he leant in and pressed his lips to hers, giving her a tender kiss that made her melt into him.

"Ok?" He asked again as he pulled away.

"Yeah." She replied, almost breathless and missing his lips already.

"That's more like it." He smiled and kissed her cheek. "I'll see you in the garage."

"Wow!" Britta exclaimed as Chloe walked over and Seb disappeared with Antti to get changed.

"What?" Chloe blushed as she sat down and put her bag on the floor.

"I still can't get over how different he is!"

"Is that different good or different bad?" She fanned her face with her hands.

"What do you think? Good of course!"

"Shall we get started?" Chloe picked her bag up again and placed it on her lap.

"Coffees first I think." Britta waved her hand at a member of the hospitality team, who just happened to be the woman that had been clinging on to Seb in a photo taken after his win in Singapore. Chloe tried to keep her face neutral as she approached them, after all it had been herself who Seb had had sex with in his changing room not long after that photo was taken, it was herself who shared a bed with him night after night and it was his diamond engagement ring that sparkled on her finger. "Two americanos please, and if you could bring us some milk and sugar that'd be great. Thanks." Britta looked at Chloe who was staring at the woman as she walked away, she was watching her closely, carefully, almost as though she was competition. Britta knew why, she'd seen the photo on social media too. "I've seen the photo too but trust me, after seeing the way Seb is with you, you've got no worries there."

"Oh, you've seen it too?" Chloe turned to look at Britta, obviously she hadn't kept her face as neutral as she'd thought.

"Yeah, probably the same day as you did. I know you will probably find it hard to trust him after what's happened but there's no way he'll let you down again. He's well and truly learnt his lesson."

"I hope so." She unzipped her bag to find the phone and iPad that she'd used for the last time last night.

"He broke down when he told me what he'd done." Britta leant forward in her seat as Chloe pulled the iPad from her bag, this was something new she was going to have to get used to working with after it had been decided that it was better to work and travel with that than a laptop. Startled by what she had just said Chloe didn't notice that she had pulled something else out of her bag at the same time and didn't hear it fall to the floor. But Britta did and as she saw their coffees being brought over she moved quickly to pick it up.

"He did?" She asked, he hadn't told her that and it saddened her to think that he still got upset over it.

"Yeah, he still feels bad about it." Britta fell quiet as their coffees were placed in front of them, together with a small jug of milk and a few sachets of sugar. "Thank you." She smiled as the woman from the photo left them alone.
