The Red Bull Party Girl |ON HOLD|

6. Back down to earth.

Seb's alarm woke us the next morning, or rather it woke me and not him. We were kind of sprawled across his bed with him laying half on top of me using my boobs as a rather comfy pillow. After what could only be described as a position-a-thon last night, we'd fallen asleep pretty much as we were now, but with me gliding my fingers through his hair. I have to admit my limbs ached, it was bliss.
"Seb." I gently nudged his shoulder. His alarm was going berserk. "Seb!" I nudged him again and felt him stir.
"Mmm what a way to wake up." He croaked as he realised what his head was laying on.
"Can you please silence your alarm, it's getting annoying very quickly."
"Shit." He muttered as he finally moved and grabbed his phone. "I'd better get up, Antti will be here soon." He flopped back next to me for a moment.
"Did you say Antti is coming here?" Surely his personal trainer isn't going to come and catch me in Seb's room this early is he? He'd know for sure that I'd stayed over.
"Yes, we go through a stretching routine after breakfast." He said it as though it was normal for me to be here.
"But he'll see me here......"
"He knows there's a chance you will be here." He got up and I openly ogled his naked body before realising he'd already told Antti I would probably be staying the night. Within half an hour we were both dressed, him in his Red Bull polo and a pair of denim shorts and me in another one of Seb's red bull tops that only just covered my bum. We were sat at the dining table eating the breakfast that had been delivered by room service. I'd been given pancakes and poor Seb sat with fruit, yogurt and granola. I heard the door open and shut and Antti appeared from the hallway, dead on 7am.
"Morning Harper." He spoke to me clearly not surprised to see me here. He'd bought two rolled up exercise mats with him and proceeded to lay them out on the floor in the lounge area. "Alright Seb?" He couldn't resist giving Seb a cheeky grin, he might as well have high fived him and told him well done.
"Morning Antti." Seb answered him while looking at me, smirking.
"Did you sleep well Harper?" Antti asked innocently enough. I heard Seb almost snort, trying not to laugh. I kicked him under the table.
"Yeah not too bad, thanks Antti." I finished my last piece of pancake. "When you've got a minute can you take a look at my leg? I think I've pulled something, oh and my back. If I lay on the bed will you come and give me a once over?" I heard Seb nearly choke on his orange juice and Antti stood there looking almost petrified.
"You want Antti to do that?" Seb sounded astounded.
"You don't mind Antti getting his hands on me do you?" I leaned my head to one side, I was loving winding him up.
"Well, erm..." He wasn't sure what to say, he knew as I wasn't actually his girlfriend (yet!) there wasn't an awful lot he could stay to stop me.
"You'll be ok with it, won't you Antti?" I looked over at Antti, who just kept looking at me and then back at Seb, obviously waiting for Seb to say he was ok with it. He looked uncomfortable, it actually quite adorable to see.

After I had finally put Antti and Seb out of their misery and admitted my back and leg were indeed, both fine, I headed back to my room. Quickly. I wasn't sure if Seb would want people seeing me returning to my room in his Red Bull top and not much else with my creased navy dress in my hands, it had the spent the night on the floor where he'd taken it off. I got straight into the shower after undressing, smiling as I'd realised his top smelt of what ever fragrance he used. He so wasn't getting that back! I was almost sorry to wash off the smell of his body and sweat from our exploits last night, oh well, I'd soon make sure to get like that again. I couldn't go facing eager race fans today smelling of sex, no matter how much fun I'd find it. Once I'd showered and dried, I pulled out my navy skirt and a clean red bull vest top, got dressed and headed down to the lobby where I had a car waiting to to take me to the track.

Today I was attending a fan event that was to be held in the break between FP1 and 2. It was for lucky competition winners and included a tour of the garages and a quick meet and greet with both drivers and Christian. I wondered how much gossip Dan had spread since he saw me in my baby doll dress and Seb had turned up at the same time. I was about to find out as I entered the garages after dropping my bag off in the office.
"Morning." Daniels chirpy voice was accompanied by his mega watt smile.
"Hi Daniel." I couldn't help but smile back, his smile and happiness was infectious.
"So......" He began.
"So, what?" I replied, I already knew what was coming.
"You and Seb, are you two a thing?"
"Dan." I looked around to see if anyone was listening before I continued. "Can we please not discuss this here."
"Just a yeah or no will do." He replied.
"Why are you so interested? I hope you've not been gossiping."
"Erm, I admit I was going to mention it to a few of the guys but I haven't. I was wondering if there was any chance of a date?"
"Oh Dan." The shy smile he gave me at the end kind of melted my heart a little. "Me and Seb, yeah I think we could be a thing. I don't know for sure."
"Damn. Well you can't blame a guy for trying huh?" He leant his head to one side.
"Agreed. And thanks for keeping what you saw to yourself." I reached out and rubbed the top of his arm.

After a promising FP1 for the team, I was out in the paddock with Emma meeting a small group of four competition winners. One woman and three men. After a brief introduction we headed in to the garages, visiting Seb's side first. I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my face as he stood there with Britta and we briefly made eye contact. He spoke to everyone and happily posed for photos and signed autographs. Emma was then explaining the various areas of the garage and our little group stopped to take photos of everything and anything they could see, especially of Suzie, Seb's car. I got ushered in to pose for photos in front of the car, with Seb watching I suddenly felt shy and blushed. I posed with each winner and then a group photo, I tried not to flinch as my ass got groped twice. My eyes shot up to see if Seb was about but he'd gone for some lunch. We then moved to Daniels garage and pretty much repeated the same scenario, Christian briefly joined us to do his bit before disappearing again.
"Are you ok?" Daniel whispered in to my ear as he stood beside me for a moment. "I saw you getting groped."
"I'm fine, it's not the first time it's happened and it won't be the last." I quickly smiled as I realised a camera was being pointed in our direction.
"If I see it happen again I'm gonna say something." He said through his smile.
"No need, I'm fine." I replied through my own smile and then moved to stand in front of Daniel's car. As we stood near the front wing I felt the hand of the same offender on my backside again.
"Excuse me mate!" Daniel immediately piped up. Both myself and the offending male looked behind us to see Daniel's unimpressed face. "Can you not touch her like that?"
"Like what?" Olly, the offending hand owner, answered back.
"I saw you touch her behind, that's three times now." Dan walked around the car to face us. "I'm all for you having photos and enjoying yourself but she's not a peace of meat."
"Are you her boyfriend or something?" Olly looked from Dan to me.
"No, but she's part of our team and I won't see her being groped like that. So please mate, just keep your hands to yourself, yeah?" Dan then walked off, I stood there feeling kind of stunned. I hadn't actually expected him to speak up for me like that.
"I'm sorry." Olly broke our rapidly becoming awkward silence. "I didn't mean any harm by it. I didn't think you'd mind."
"It's fine, he's just protective that's all." I didn't know what else to say on Dan's behalf.
"I think he really likes you, if you're not together then maybe you should be." He replied. If it wasn't for Seb, then maybe I would have gone for it. Thankfully the rest of the tour went without a hitch and we finished up with a few drinks and nibbles in hospitality.

Race day arrived and I'd woken up with a funny feeling in my stomach. Not funny as in sick, but funny as in unsettled. As though something was going to happen and I didn't know if it was going to be good or bad. I hadn't been able to spend any more time with Seb so far this weekend, not that I had expected to. I didn't want to distract him, I wanted him to do well this weekend after his disappointment in Melbourne. I entered the Red Bull hospitality area and looked around for Seb, I wanted to wish him luck. I saw Antti with Britta and made my way over to them.
"Have you seen Seb?" I asked Antti.
"He's in his drivers room." Britta spoke up.
"Oh, would he mind if I went to wish him luck?" I had never been in to his drivers room before.
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Britta smiled, I noticed Antti went to say something but changed his mind. "You know where to go don't you?" She added.
"I sure do." I replied and turned and left them, I headed out across the paddock and in to the back of the garage. I realised Antti was behind me. I was stopped in my tracks by the sight of Seb standing outside his door, leaning against it talking to a blonde haired woman I'd not seen before. "Who's that Antti?" I turned to face him.
"That is Seb's ex girlfriend. She got here last night, her cousin works for Mercedes." He looked rather sheepish. I watched as he pulled her in for a hug, kissing the top of her head. Shit.
