702 Words
The crew travelled in 4 cars to the grand prix, the security in 2 SUV while they were in the other SUV’s. The group had determined that Sebastien would not ruin the race day which they had come to see.
When they arrived at the race, it was buzzing. Between Santo and Hugo the group had been spoiled rotten. Santo and Isabella were walking hand in hand down the pit wall. Their guide introduced them to the Team Principal of Red Bull, Santo could literally feel Bella’s excitement.
“Hi I am Christian Horner, it’s lovely to meet you Mr Moretti.” Christian said, shaking hands with Santo.
“Santo please, may I introduce my girlfriend Isabella Thorpe. She was instrumental in the voice activation.”
Isabella stepped forward and shook Christian’s hand.
“Hi, I’m a huge fan.” She responded.
Christian smiled at her, “Well I am happy to meet you, I hope our guide has been good to you.”
Santo gave a tight smile, “He has been good, uhm do you think Isabella could meet both your drivers?”
“Yes sure, I have arranged for you to meet them after the race.” Christian replied back.
“Ofcourse, whatever suits them honestly just being here is amazing.” Isabella interjected.
Christian smiled at them and bid them farewell.
“Tesoro you are far too kind.” He said gloomily.
Isabella kissed Santo’s cheek to try and appease him.
“Santo, they are busy now and besides I don’t want a rushed meeting. I have many questions.” She giggled in response to him.
Santo took her to the VVIP sitting room where all her friends were so they could enjoy the vibe before the race. She found them all sitting, drinking and having a good time. Once they joined the group everyone started sharing their stories.
“Honestly I mean Hugo introduced us but I couldn’t say anything.” Gabriel said, laughing at himself.
“What was he like?” Aria asked.
“So cool and chilled.” Gabriel replied.
The conversation carried on and Santo found himself watching Isabella. She really seemed to enjoy herself and that was all he wanted for her to do. She seemed to be returning back to her normal self.
Unfortunately that happiness didn’t last long as Brooke and Lola joined them. Santo saw the way that Lola sneered at him holding Isabella.
“You know Izzy Santo will dump you, what man wants Sebastien’s leftovers.” Lola snickered.
“Surely my brother could like someone better than this riffraff Lola.” Brooke smirked maliciously.
“What the hell are you lowlifes doing here?” Hugo spat back furiously.
“Awww Huggie bear, upset you never got a stake in Santo’s little w***e?” Brooke countered at Hugo.
Maya rubbed Hugo’s back and whispered for him to ignore them both.
The group carried on with their conversation and tried to ignore the two girls but they had other plans.
“You know Isabella, my brother doesn’t like to share.” Brooke said as she sipped her drink. Something about Brooke’s statement rubbed Santo up the wrong way.
“How about you tell your brother to f**k off Brooke.” Santo said, his tone icy. Brooke could feel his rage and wanted to poke him some more but before she could two men came to the table. Santo regarded them and nodded to Lola and Brooke.
“Brock, Christo please escort this riffraff away from us.” Santo demanded.
Christo and Brock grabbed Brooke and Lola, to remove them. Lola resisted and went straight for Isabella, Santo had enough of their dramatics and stood face to face with Lola, shielding Bella.
“f*****g try it, you don’t want my bad side. Get the hell out of here.”
Santo’s security dragged them away, causing people to stare and look down on the ladies.
“Phew, is this guy an exterminator or what? Getting rid of little pesky mosquitoes.” Aria commented and had everyone in stitches. Isabella thanked Santo and tried to forget every bad thing that had happened so far, concentrating on her friends and why she was here.
