Just Him ❤

17. Testing times.

The end of the first week of testing was here. Chloe had settled back in to life with Ferrari a lot quicker than Seb had anticipated which made him happy. Mick had been around a lot yesterday after flying in from Italy and was here today also. She even seemed more at ease with Mick now. Seb began to think that maybe he'd been over thinking her relationship with Michael. Maybe he had been nothing more than a close friend whom she cared for very much. He still wondered what the 'dark time' that Michael had helped her through was though.

Antti handed Seb his energy drink and cap and took his helmet from him. The morning session was now over and it was time for lunch. He turned and his brows raised at the sight of Liam, Ferrari's media officer, standing close to Chloe. He was showing her something on the iPad. Liam was responsible for keeping the team's website and social media accounts up to date for fans keen to follow their team's progress. Over the last couple of days he appeared to have taken a liking to Chloe and seemed to be hanging around her at every opportunity. He was starting annoy Seb who, although he liked Liam, had always thought of him as a bit of geek.
"Chloe." He called to her.

"Oh, the boss wants you." Liam nudged her and they both looked at Seb.

"It's lunch time. I'd best go." Chloe handed him the iPad back and walked over to Seb.

"Sorry to disturb you and Liam. Ready for some lunch?" He asked, "I also have to try and get across to hospitality without being stopped too many times." He sounded annoyed. Chloe couldn't help the sly grin from forming on her face. He was getting possessive already. She loved it.

"Sure, let's go." She walked slightly ahead and he followed. As expected a few fans were milling about hoping to get a glimpse of the Ferrari driver and maybe get a photo or an autograph. A pretty dark haired woman, who looked to be in her twenties, stopped Seb and asked for a selfie. He smiled and politely accepted, standing next to her he slipped his arm around her waist and leant in slightly as she held the phone up in front of them. He then took the Ferrari cap and pen she offered and he signed her cap. She was grinning from ear to ear as he handed them back to her. He stopped another three times on the short distance over to hospitality, the final time being for a young boy dressed in Red Bull gear. His parents asked if they could take a photo of him with their son who looked to be no more than four or five. Seb nodded his head and squatted down to the boys level, leaning towards him a bit while smiling for the photo. Chloe watched as he interacted with the child. "Oh my ovaries." She thought to herself. He was so good with kids. Finally they made it in to hospitality. They sat down at a small table. Chloe noticed his smile had gone. A woman in Ferrari uniform approached to take their food order, Seb asked for a pasta dish while Chloe opted for another salad.

"Why do you eat salad all the time?" He asked.

"Because everyone always looks so slim here, you don't want a porky PA do you?" She giggled.

"Your figure is perfect." He gave her a small smile, "I'm sure Liam thinks so too." He added.
There it was. The remark she'd been waiting for.

"Seb, there's no need for that." She looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Oh come on." He rolled his eyes, "He's been hanging around you even when he didn't need to be there. He's definitely wanting to get in to your panties."

"Just as well he won't be getting anywhere near them then isn't it." She was all for a bit of possessiveness but not when he was starting to get wound up like he was. She looked across at him, his blue eyes seemed to flash with the anger he was starting to feel. She wanted to reach across the table and touch him or take his hand but she couldn't. "Seb, don't be like this here where we can't talk about it properly or do anything about it. Please."
