SIX

"ready to go, gorgeous?" I asked, holding my hand out for Gabi to grab as I stood in the doorway of her flat. She smiled tiredly at me, but nodded her head all the same

"You're such a bad influence" she told me as we made our way towards my mclaren, which was parked in the car park of her building "I'm missing 6 lectures for this"

"6?" I asked, mocking her "god gabi they should lock you up for such criminal behaviour"

"don't, I need to get my degree" she moaned "we don't all have a super good job like you"

"yes, and we don't all have a super smart brain like you, I promise you that you'll pass this whole thing gabs" I smiled at her as she began to walk slightly ahead, pulling me along with her

"well you're smart, i would have never passed physics if it wasn't for you and that's like the hardest thing to do" she persisted

"well yes but who passed the exam gabs" I pulled her into a hug "you're not winning this argument"

"jodéte" she uttered, a big grin on her face

"mama called" gabi told me, as we neared the airport "she told me the dates that I'm going and apparently I'm off next week"

"so you're not coming to Sochi?" I asked, a little upset as she'd promised she'd come to the next few races with me

"sorry bubba" she looked at me sympathetically, placing her hand on my thigh "but it's for Amelies birthday.. I completely forgot but it's on Wednesday"

"trust you to forget your sisters birthday" I rolled my eyes, teasing her

"hey, I've been very busy I'll have you know" she pouted "but it does mean a shopping trip when we get to Singapore"

"oh, yay" i unenthusiastically smiled, she playfully slapped my cheek

"swear I hate you sometimes"  she sighed.

I laid on Lando's shoulder as the flight took place. I disliked flying strongly, and his presence made it much more bearable.

"what's on your mind gabs?" he sighed, rubbing his fingers through my hair

"just missing my dad" I moaned back "I haven't seen him in forever"

"you should invite him for a race" he smiled "he loves cars doesn't he?"

"yeah, I'll try next year.. I just don't want him to be lonely"

"he's got Simon" Lando moved his hand down to mine and rubbed it, referring to Tommy's father

"I know but, I just worry about him.. mamas got Mateo, and Rico and Amelie, but dad has no one, not even me anymore" I leaned my head further into his arm, trying to forget about my dad.

"I'm sure he's fine gabs, honest"

Before I had chance to reply, the two of us were hit with balls of paper. I looked up to see Carlos throwing them at us

"you two need cheering up" he smiled, his Spanish accent heavy

"True, she does" Lando laughed, picking up some of the paper and throwing it back

"behave you two" I rolled my eyes, picking up my phone which was laid on the table in front of us

"but you do need to cheer up" Carlos pouted, taking the phone from my hand

"I'm happy happy happy" I grinned widely, showing off my teeth

"no mientas" he told me in spanish, throwing another ball of paper at me
(Don't lie)

I rolled my eyes and leant towards the window, looking out to see nothing but clouds

"the view out there is boring gabs, I'm much more interesting" Lando smiled, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards him

"yeah, I guess you are" I laughed a little

"don't be sad, we'll buy you noodles when we get to Singapore" Carlos told me

"oo I do love noodles" I grinned, letting myself cheer up.

"and nando is gonna be there" Lando smiled

"really? I haven't seen him in forever"

Fernando was like a second dad to me, when Lando was testing for mclaren last year he looked after me so I wasn't alone. I was excited to see him, as I'd only seen him once since the end of last season.

*

"where are my noodles then?" I asked, glaring towards Carlos "and nando"

"noodles are in the noodle shop Gabriela, and I haven't seen nando, but are you coming out for a drink with all of us?" he grinned to me

"if you are deadly sure nando is coming this weekend?"

"I promise he is, mclaren assured it" he smiled back

"then yes I'll come out, where's Lando?"

"talking to Zak I think" he told me "are you all cheered up now though?"

"I'm as happy as ever carlossss" I laughed, looking around. I saw tommy approaching and waved him over

"dios mío, Tommy's coming so I'm leaving. That kid is loud" he smiled, walking away from me

"bless him, byeee" I waved to him the turned to Tommy

"Carlos not staying?" He frowned

"Zak called him over" I lied, turning to Carlos who was sat near some other team members, I winked to him and he burst out laughing

"oh. You coming for drinks with us later?" he asked, changing the subject

"sure, I'll drag Carlos and Lando with me, and then we can all find nando because I still haven't seen him" I grinned

"missed you yanno" he hugged me

"tommooo I've missed ya too! but don't get all soppy"

"am I actually allowed inside the mclaren garage, like, we're only stood outside right now and I can see people giving me dirties" he pulled a scared face

"don't be daft, as long as you're not using me for information.. which would be pointless because I know fuck all, you'd be better off asking han because at least she knows about the cars"

"come on, let's go for a wander" he smiled, holding out his arm for me

"fine, whatever" I smiled back, taking a hold of his arm
