I type a scathing message.
Me
For the record, I AM tired. I’m tired from dealing with you five all week. And you can all have your laughs now, but next week in Spain, I’ll find a way to have my fun without any of you intervening. Even if that means I have to sneak off with some guy to the beach to have sex!
I purposefully added the sex part in there because I know my brothers will shiver from the thought.
Beck
I just threw up.
Noah
Same.
Graham
The word sex and sister should never share space in my brain.
Van
I’m just wondering what I did to get grouped into this fight between all of you.
And please don’t have sex on the beach. You never know who’s watching. You could end up on the front page of GRID.
He’s right.
GRID is the TMZ of the F1 world.
Gossip. Rumors. Inside drama.
It’s the last place any F1 driver, or their team, wants to be on.
Beck
I’ve been featured on GRID before. It’s not that bad.
Noah
Rome is always on there, aren’t you?
Rome
Curiosity creeps into my head like a twisted vine until it wraps around my fingers, forcing me to type GRID into my phone’s browser.
Right there, at the top of the website, is a photo of Rome from this past weekend in his race suit, all hot and sweaty, and then beneath it, is a photo ofme,in the paddock with my headset resting around my neck.
I read the headline so quickly I’m dizzy. I sink back to the couch and open up a separate text to Rome and send him my address.
Rome
Is this a booty text? Or are you planning on murdering me?
Me
It’s an emergency! Please hurry.
Rome
