It was the annual RedBull and Torro Rosso party and it was being held in Monaco. Me and Alex were just getting ready to leave the hotel room as I sprayed my perfume and he tied his shoes. He looked at me with a bright smile and I raised my eyebrow,

"You're stunning."
He muttered with a shy grin, pulling me in for a kiss before we left the room hand in hand and made our way to the rooftop bar. I had some awkward feelings about tonight, it was the first time RedBull and Torro Rosso have been together since the switch and I couldn't help but have a sense that something was going to happen but shrugged it off as Alex smiled and began talking excitedly; something he rarely did.

In the relationship Alex is the quiet one, shy and often nervous around new people whereas I prefer to talk and talk and talk, everybody around the paddock knows me for just talking and being happy all the time and find it odd how I'm so loud and Alex is so quiet but we balance each other out and make the perfect partners for each other. The bar was already quite busy when we arrived and Alex looked around in apprehension, a familiar look of panic in his eyes. I placed my hand on his arm and squeezed it lightly,

"You'll be fine, the team love you already and it's just catching up with friends right?"
I softly encouraged,

"Yeah... friends after I stole their seat."
He muttered darkly; nodding his head to the balcony.

I followed his eyesight to see Pierre and Cate looking at us with rather stony faces before turning to one another again. My heart sunk, Alex hates confrontation and I couldn't deal with losing a good friend in Cate. I shook my head sadly and turned to him, stepping closer so I could meet his tall figure better,

"It's fine, we'll all be fine, why don't we get drinks?" I said, smiling in the hopes to brighten his mood.

His eyes lingered on Pierre for a short while more before flicking down to me and nodding, silently making his way over to the bar. I was now stood alone and decided to stomp out any arguments before they could burn and made my way over to Cate and Pierre with a smile on my face. I stood by them and they silently turned to me, both with their mouths slightly dropped open as they stared at me.

"So guys... how are we?" I ask lightly, Cate just looked away with a smirk but Pierre angrily responded,

"Not so well after your Alex stole my seat, have you asked him if he'll actually score points or just mess up?"
He snarled, Cate laughed and grinned at Pierre, I scowled and continued,

"Mess up like you did Pierre? And it never was your seat to begin with, he was always going to end up there." I snipe

He frowns at me before whispering to Cate in French who then proceeds to look me up and down and laugh. My heart sinks as I realise I've just lost a friendship and destroyed Alex's hope of a good grid relationship with Pierre. I hurry away from the pair and stand on the other side of the balcony, craning my head to try and see Alex but can't pick him out anywhere at the bar despite his tall figure. I jump as two fingers are lightly tapped on my shoulder and spin around to see one of Alex's new engineers for RedBull.

"Y/N right, Alex's girlfriend?" He questions, I nod before adding,

"The one and only." He laughs and studies me for a second,

"I would never picture you and Alex together at all, he just keeps himself to himself, stands alone in the garage most of the time whereas you laugh and joke, life of the party style... I like it." He smirks to himself, I grit my teeth at his comment and continue,
