During the race I was so anxious about what will happen with Carlos and his back, during his training I saw some pain in his eyes but he did not admit it and that made me mad

He ended P9, bad for the team and I saw him struggling stood up from the car

"And he was saying that he's fine! He's even worse!" Carlos Sr said madly

"He didn't want have a physio appointment and that's the results! He needs to see a doctor I can't do anything I am just a trainer" I sighed madly, Carlos walked in the garage walking really slowly

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Carlos asked a bit confused

"Carlos you're really asking why! I told you! You need physiotherapist appointment and you said no! Trust me I work for years with athletes and I know when they need help!" I was so mad at Carlos right now that he tries to make the pain even worse "I just home that you didn't take any painkillers"

"No I didn't don't worry" Carlos walked in the room and I walked after him "Will you keep embarrassing me?"

"Carlos I care about you and you are so stubborn that you don't admit that you need help with your back!" I replied

Carlos didn't answer, we arrived in his room walking so slow that even a turtle could pass us

"Carlos I call the physiotherapist" I grabbed my phone

"I'm fine Anastasia" Carlos tried to sit on the bed but he let a soft scream of pain

"You're not I can't watch you suffer from this" I called the physiotherapist telling her come in Carlos' room "Carlos you are 29 you can't act like a baby!"

"I know but I don't know what to do! I feel old!" As Carlos said that I giggled

"You are young and mature! Realise that we all want the best for you!" I kissed his black hair "Accept the help from us"

Carlos nodded and then I sat next to him, he touched my hand

"Please hear what we say for once in your life! Don't be stubborn" I giggled and he kissed my cheek

"I will amore" He winked at me

After the end of the interviews I walked with Carlos in the parking lot and I drove us in our hotel where we got ready for the night

I have to be careful because I still remember what happened in Qatar and they almost raped me!

We took a taxi to the club and we got in with Charles and Alexandra, it's the closing party of the season and we had to be there

"I don't want any alcohol" I said and I looked at Carlos "Just lemon juice"

"Yeah sure" Carlos served me some lemon juice and he gave the glass at me "Here you are, just hold the drink so no one will put something"

I hold my drink and nothing was able to come in there, I can say that Carlos feels guilty about what happened in Qatar because he was with me the whole time

I know Carlos years now and he was always treating me so good! He was always taking care of me like I am someone special to him! And I'm only a friend! Anything else!

We had fun in the party but both Alexandra and I were exhausted from the heels so we sat on the couch there to talk

"How did you realise that you had feelings for Carlos? Because you were friends from what I know" Alexandra asked and I giggled

"Well Carlos firstly admitted that he likes me and then I thought that probably that's the reason we are friends! We meant to be together and we should be! The feelings were always there we couldn't admit them!" I think I'm right! I am sure that I always had feelings for Carlos but I couldn't admit them

We both are so stubborn! I mean I know that Carlos has no feelings for me but who cares! We'll never know!
