One Shots - F1&F2

Carlos Sainz - Nervous

I focus on the screen in front of me, where the current race is shown. We're down to the last few laps and the camera is focused on the cars in the front, who are battling it out for P1. But I don't care about them. I only care about 1 driver, who is in car 55. Carlos Sainz Jr. My boyfriend.

Today's race is the first one I can actually see live from the garage. Before that, I was either too busy with work or something else stupid got in the way. But this weekend, there was nothing preventing me from coming to the race, so I didn't hesitate for a single moment. I've been wanting to see Carlos race for a while and today I finally got to.

I watch as the first few cars pass the chequered flag. Not too long after, Carlos's Toro Rosso passes it was well. A finish in the points, never a bad thing. I smile widely as I see the camera focus on Carlos. But then the image on the screen surprises me. They're filming me. Millions and millions of people are seeing me right now. In the Toro Rosso garage, at Carlos's side. This is gonna spark some serious rumors.

So far, Carlos and I have been able to keep our relationship away from the press. Carlos knew that once they found out about me, the press would be all over me, especially at the beginning. Because of this, we decided to hide our relationship as much as we could, which was pretty easy as I never went to a race before. But now, all of that will change. We knew the day would come that we'd have to tell the world, we just didn't know it'd be today.

On the screen the shot changes to another driver, which makes me sigh in relief. Sure, people saw me but at least nothing crazy happened whilst they did.

"I'm so proud of you," I say as I give Carlos a tight hug. He just came back to the garage after finishing the race.

"Thank you bella," Carlos says before giving me a quick kiss. Out of the corner of my eye, I spot another camera.

"Crap," I say as I press my head against Carlos's chest.

"What is it?"

"There's a camera in the garage. They already filmed me earlier, just after the race finished."

"That's okay, that doesn't mean they broadcasted it."

"I saw my face on the screen."

"Okay, then they did broadcast it."

"I'm sorry," I sigh, making Carlos look at me confused.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because you have to go to the press and they'll probably ask about it, which must be really annoying."

"It's never annoying to talk about you bella," Carlos says, making me blush.

"Carlos! Press in 5!" someone yells out and Carlos gives a thumps up to whoever yelled out.

"I'm just gonna freshen up and then go to the press. I'll see you in a little while, okay?" Carlos says to me and I nod.

"Good luck," I say, giving Carlos a quick kiss before he walks to the back of the garage to freshen up for the press. I go to a live broadcast to at least see a little bit of the interviews, more specifically, Carlos's interview. I see Carlos appear in the press area and he goes to different broadcasters to answer their questions. Finally, he comes to the broadcaster I'm watching.

"Carlos, a finish in the points. Happy?" the interviewer asks.

"Very happy. It was a good race and I had some nice fights. I had a lot of fun."

"We've had a few races now, have you set any goals now that you know a little more about where you are in relation to the other teams?"

"Not really. Just score as much points as possible and do the best we can."

"We saw a new guest in your garage today and you seemed rather close to her, who is she?" the interviewer asks and instantly, the expression on Carlos's face changes and I can see he is nervous about answering this question.

"She's an amazing girl who is my biggest supporter."

"A new special lady in your life then?"

"A very special lady."

"Thank you for that Carlos," the interviewer says. Carlos nods and walks out of the press area. I can't help but smile at the answer Carlos gave to the interviewer. I wait until Carlos comes back to the garage, which doesn't take that long. He talks to his team for a little while before walking over to me.

"You're amazing," I say before giving him a soft kiss.

"You saw the last interview?"

"I did."

"What did you think?"

"I thought it was very cute you became so nervous."

"You saw that?"

"Yeah, but you were being way too sweet for anyone else to notice," I say with a smile, making Carlos smile a well.

"Only saying the truth bella."
