Sitting with the other rookies for the season. You are a last minute plot twist.
Your team outfit doesn't even fit your petite body properly. But still you need to be on a worldwide platform and do some media for the new season.
"Welcome to this year's rookies. Kimi, Jack and y/n. But we are also joined with full time team members for this year, Ollie and Franco. You guys make up a quarter of the grid this year. The most we have seen in the past few years. Never mind our first female competitor in a long time. How do you all feel about being in Bahrain and getting ready for the first race of the year?"
As you let the guys speak over you in the question part. But as soon as the games come out, you're in a world of your own.
"Oh jeez girl. Are you sure you're in the right sport, with those moves." Jack laughs.
"Yeah. My real ones aren't for tv." You tell him laughing.
"I don't get it? What real ones?" Franco asks and ends up blushing when Jack explains it.
"Her club ones will be a lot different. Watch how she rolls her belly, she knows a lot more sexy moves and will know how to get it."
As you walk away from the interview not feeling the best. "Don't worry too much. We have your back and your beautiful bum." Jack teases you. Much to the other guys annoyance. "Don't speak about her like that. It's derogatory." Ollie says to him. "Alright Ferrari boy, no one asked you and your virgin aura." Jack says.
"Just stop it, both of you." You bite back at them. "I've had enough of you already Jack." Jack looks at her.
"Too bad you don't say that when you want some huh." Jack teases you, but it's getting seen by the fans.
"Drop it and learn to be professional Jack... that is way out of line what you said about me. If you can't be respectful, then just don't speak about me or to me." You tell him, before walking away with your media person.
"I need to take a minute.. sorry." You say walking back into your hospitality.
But Franco is close behind you. He gently grabs your hand. "Come here." He pulls you into his chest and holds you.
"What happened with you and Jack." He asks you.
"Nothing. He dropped into my dm's a couple years back and keeps dropping in when he's single. You know wanting things. Sexual things."
Franco pushes a kiss onto your head. "Ah okay. Okay. Has he recently dropped in?" You nod your head, he was with you when you got the call.
Franco's demeanour changes, his hug becomes stand offish, with his hands on her shoulders. "You'll be fine? Yes?" You look up at him, he's usually more soft than he is being right now with you.
"Franco?" He shakes his head. "Ok we have things to do." He says and leaves you.
After pulling yourself together. You're more than aware you have to perform well this weekend. No distractions.
Easier said than done, when Jacks around let alone everyone else.
Walking into the paddock on quali day is an episode in itself, as your is accosted by local fans. Pinning you down on top of the car, you drove in. In the moment you freeze and end up busted.
"Hey leave her alone! Where the fuck is security?" Jack pulls two guys off of you and it takes a lot to not punch them.
"Are you okay?" He asks you, worrying about how much they've hurt you. You nod your head, but are visibly shaking.
"Jeez what's happened here?" You couldn't be more mortified, the one driver you said would be your idol. Is now asking if your is okay.
"Two lads had her pinned down, no security whatsoever for her."
Max wraps an arm around you. "Right come on, let's get you in huh. We will have to speak to the FIA about this. Can't have you being attacked outside of the paddock." You nod your head, still actual mortified.
"Jack you get her to her hospitality and I'll speak with the officials."
As you walk in with Jack, still obviously upset by the ordeal. Franco is already there, looking confused.
But after explaining all to Franco and Mattia the team boss. Your body is bruised. Very visibly around the neck and upper arms.
"Is this what happened to you?" Franco asks mid signing. "Yeah. Thank god for editing, since we need to film content."
He nods his head, deep in thought. "Come with me tomorrow. To here. I can't have you worrying about being beaten again." You think about it and want to say no. But he is right.
It's in that moment you know you has the best teammate. But it's also a slippery slope. Jack is still around not to mention another one that's been dipping into your dm's since it got announced.
