Back To You (Sebastian Vettel)

Chapter 61: Singapore Ring (Part 2)

Usually, F1 fans felt so excited and nervous at the same time on race day, and Gia was definitely one of them. Seb's words about making a small mistake that could lead into a big consequence kept haunting her mind.

Seb would start from the third place, while his teammate, Charles took pole position. It wasn't easy to overtake, but the strategy could play a role there. Inside his room in the garage, she was scrolling down the timeline of her Instagram account. She hadn't checked it since Thursday.

Since his fans knew who their idol's new girlfriend was, many of them started following her. Her followers had grown up pretty fast. Then, she noticed that an F1 photographer tagged her on his post from day 1 they were at the circuit. Many F1 fans also mentioned her on the comment section. She was quite surprised that he posted her photo. And she was even more surprised when she read the caption.

kymillman SINGAPORE RING?

Sebastian Vettel's girlfriend, Georgia Hassler, who is also a German, attends a Grand Prix for the second time. The first time she appeared as his new girlfriend was at the German GP. Matching her shirt with the colour of his team, she's looking good with a casual fashion style.

But have you noticed that she is wearing a ring? I'm sure that she didn't wear that when she appeared on her boyfriend's home race at Hockenheimring last July. What do you think about that? By the look of it, the ring probably has a meaning. Is she going to be Mrs. Vettel in the near time? We will see...

Most of F1 fans commented that Seb had probably engaged to Gia secretly. She was sure that the more people knew, the more media would find out the truth. She needed to know what his reaction would be to the post.

"Hey!" Seb greeted her as he opened the door of his room.

He smiled at him. "Hi, Seb! How was the briefing with your team?"

"It was good," he replied as he was walking closer. "We talked about the strategy for today. Especially for myself, we need to make an undercut strategy if I can't overtake Lewis on track."

"I hope that it will work," she said. Then, she patted the couch next to her. "Sit down here."

Seb did as she asked. "Is there something, gorgeous?"

"Erm..." Gia re-opened her Instagram and showed him Kym's post. "Read this and let me know what you think."

He took her phone and started reading the caption of the post. After finished, he handed it back to her. She was waiting for his response to that. "Seb?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you think? Should we reveal it or-"

Seb took her left hand and stroked the ring on her finger gently. "You know that I'm a very private person. I'm not used to talk about my personal life. I hope that you aren't disappointed, but I don't think that we should say something about that."

Gia shook her head slowly. "Of course I'm not disappointed, Seb. I know you very well. I will seal my lips if you think that it's the best thing to do. For now, maybe people are guessing about it. But sooner or later, they will get used to it and stop asking."

"That's exactly what I'm thinking. I'm glad that you can understand me. Next year, when both of us wear the same rings, people will know that we're married without us having to say something."

Gia nodded as she agreed with his words. "Yeah, you're right. Erm, I want to ask you another thing."

"What's that?"

"If you win the race today, can I post our photo together on my Instagram?"

Gia knew that it was something that Bernadette was used to do when she was still with Seb. She loved to post her moments with him, which he felt that it was something that shouldn't be shared, and it became one of the reasons why they often argued. But she really wanted to do it, although it was for once. She would love to share a photo of her with him while holding his 1st-place trophy if he really won the race.
