"Are you coming to watch me y/n?" I hear a smooth, Spanish voice already knowing who it is. I pull up my trousers from my 'encounter' with my boyfriend in his driver room. "Of course, it's your first home grand prix in formula one and my brother is the other Spanish driver." I say embracing the taller and more muscled figure of Carlos. We met when we were ten. He visited a race in Spain and he met my older brother Fernando Alonso. Since I also did karting we'd make up excuses to go and meet up. We became closer and closer and became 'official' just over a year ago. I use the quotations because we are only official in between us, for everyone else we are just close friends.

Carlos began racing for Toro Rosso this year, 2015 and my brother Fernando drives for McLaren. To be completely honest, they weren't the best team but I think they have potential. "And who's garage are you staying at? Probably your brothers." he mumbles into my hair. "Well it was your idea to stay quiet and keep our relationship private Carlitos." I say pulling his cap down over his eyes. He smiles and nods. "Yes, so why are you in my driver room? We agreed to leave things like this until a later time." he chuckles. "I'm not here for that. I'm here to calm you down. It's your first home race, it's a lot of pressure. I remember when Fernando had his first race he was quiet as hell. He didn't eat and stayed in his room. I don't want you to isolate yourself from your loved ones when you need them right now." I peck his rough cheek.

"It's okay querida. My family is here and so is yours so don't be here concerning over me when you have your family out waiting for you." he says. "You first." He's taken aback by my sudden confidence. "Okay. I'll call them to come here." he pulls out his phone. "No! Carlos! I'll go! Ay díos." I walk out closing the door behind me and sprint out to the McLaren garage. I just about make it before I feel a poke on my shoulder. I spin around and see my brothers team mate Jenson Button smirking. "Hey Jenson. Have you seen Nando?" I ask. "No but I did see you coming out of Carlos' driver room." I gulp. He's gonna tell. "Can you do me this one favor and not tell my brother? Please?" I practically begging at this point. "I mean, the longer you wait the worse his reaction is going to be so, I'd tell him as soon às possible." he walks past me into his garage. As much as I hated to say it, he was right.

I walk slowly into the garage with my smile barely showing. Fernando clocks onto me and smiles beckoning me over with his hand. I make my way over to him. "Hello baby sister. How are you?" he says playing with my chubby cheeks. I shake his hands off and hug him. "Where the hell have you been?" he says. "Sight seeing." "In your own country?" he asks. "Of course. Is it not okay for me to just look around?" Jenson walks over and interrupts. "Yes Nando, just let the girl sight see. I saw her very interested in a certain something on my way over here." If I wasn't wearing any foundation or makeup Fernando would bee me blushing but luckily it was covered up.

"Well at least you're learning about something." he jokes. I look over to Jenson. "Seems as though she was learning about something." he emphasises the word 'something'. "Anyway, driver briefing. We need to go." I walk behind them and make my way to the hospitality lounge. The briefings were always pretty quick so I wasn't alone for that long. Fernando and Jesnon were coming upstairs in fits of laughter. "I can't believe he didn't even hide it!" Fernando chuckles. "Who hides what?" I ask throwing my phone to the side of me. "Carlos, he had love hites on his neck. We think he has his 'secret girlfriend' over here." Jenson says. I gulp louder. Surely I don't have any. "I'm going to go to the bathroom for a moment." I say walking away clutching my handbag. I lock the door visicously and look into the mirror. I move my shirt over slightly and see a dark purple mark. I see a few of them actually. "God. They're this bad? It's not even been half an hour!" I mutter applying foundation to my makeup sponge.

I could cover it but there is no point in Carlos covering them now. Everyone already saw them. I walk out and the race is starting in about an hour. I shakily step closer and closer to the main door to escape but no. I'm caught. Fernando. "Are you okay? You're off." he says. I nod. "I'm okay I promise." He doesn't buy it. "Is it Carlos? Is it his secret girlfriend? Because quite honestly, everyone knows you have a thing for him." he says. I sigh out loudly, pipping my handbag tighter. "Thanks for telling me before. And I don't." He raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, and I didn't beat you at table hockey." he teases. I slap his arms playfully. "You know I won that fair and square!" We both laugh. "But seriously, I'm fine." He looks at me squeezing his lips together. "Okay. Fine. Your good. If anything was wrong you'd tell me. I'll see you later." He walks away as I am left with my thoughts. I have to tell Fernando.

I run to the Toro Rosso garage. "Carlos!" I shout over and over until he notices me. He excuses himself and walks over. "You have some nerve showing up here." he plays but no smile is seen on my face. "What? Is it something I did?" he asks. I shake my head. "Jesnon knows. I want to tell Fernando. He needs to know. I trust him." Carlos gulps and looks around. "If it's what you want then of course. Are you positive." I nod my head vigorously. "I don't want to sneak about anymore. Let's just say it." He smiles and pulls me in for a kiss. A gasp erupts from a few of the crew members in Toro Rosso followed by a few claps. "Get in there Carlos." the person in his earpiece says. He laughs and tells me what his engineer says. He hands me the other one. "Sainz! That's my sister. Keep it to yourselves please!" Our eyes widen as we look over to the pit wall. Fernando walking quickly into the garage with Jenson for company. "How? You're supposed to be in the car!"

"They broadcasted it! Sky was in here recording the second home driver!" he says pointing to the camera. I hide myself into Carlos' chest as Carlos takes deep breathes. "You aren't angry?" I ask. "No. He's a good guy so I have nothing to hate him for. I'd have a problem if it was a punk or something." he says waving his arms. "But if you do hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable for even a second, you are dead. I know people." he says. "He won't do anything. He knows people but they aren't close. He didn't have any friends growing up." I chuckle walking away pulling Carlos with me. "I did have friends! I have Pedro García for one! Then Adrí Hernández and-" Jenson pulls him away from the situation as Fernando keeps naming people he was friends with. "I won't hurt you anyway." I look up. "I know." he kisses my nose and walks back to his engineer leaving me smiling in the back of the garage.

Five years on, we have a beautiful two year old son called Luca and another baby boy on the way. "Luca! Ven aquí!" Carlos calls for his son to come with him as he walks through the paddock holding his wife's hand in the process. He seats his wife in the hospitality lounge with his son beside her. He smiles as Luca jumps around shouting about the cars. "Papa! I can see your car! It has a rainbow on it!" I look over to the two men in my life. "Yes baby. What are you looking at Mr Sainz?" he looks back up. "The fact that we used to hide everything and now we are out and about with a family of our own." I guess he was right. I'm happy we told people instead of hiding it, even if Daniel Ricciardo teased me about my 'Good Work' in Barcelona 2015, I still enjoyed it and I wouldn't have it any other way.
