The Race Director's Daughter (Sebastian Vettel)

7. The Makeover

"I'm not really the party type Tamara," Leah said on the Sunday night after the race.

Not any more anyway, she thought to herself.

"You have to come! Danny Ric invited us personally. He said to bring you along. He said Seb fancies you, but I think he's using Seb as an excuse. Jenna caught him staring at you, and he did ask to buy you a drink."

"I don't really care, I'm not interested. I'd rather stay in with a good book."

Tamara looked at her like she'd gone mad. "Are you crazy? Leah? You're twenty six years old for fuck's sake! Live a little. Don't act like a middle aged spinster. And how can you not be interested in Danny Ric?"

Leah knew the other girl didn't know what she'd been through so she didn't take offence. If Tamara knew she wouldn't have been so blunt.

"Honestly Tamara, you go and have fun. I don't have anything to wear anyway. I can't exactly roll up in my leggings and hoodie can I?"

"That is not a problem. You're around the same size as both Jenna and I yes? A size 12?" Leah nodded wearily. "We have plenty of stuff with us. Come to our room when we get back to the hotel and we'll all get ready together. It will be such fun! What size feet are you?"

"Six."

"The same as Jenna, sorted. Please, please, please. Jenna always ends up shitfaced and I'd love the company to be honest." Leah made the mistake of looking into the blonde's eyes.

"Fine," she said. "But only for a short while. I really don't like clubs."

Tamara clapped her hands together in delight. "You won't regret it." Leah already did regret it. How was she going to cope if any men spoke to her? What if someone tried it on with her? She decided immediately that she would do everything she could to avoid Daniel and Seb, not that she actually believed either of them fancied her. They'd be after a quick shag, that's all, and thought she was fair game as she was new.

Tamara smiled to herself as she picked up her phone. She sent Daniel a text message.

Tamara: Hi Daniel, I asked Jenna and Leah if they wanted to come tonight. Jenna was up for it straight away. Leah took some persuading, but she's coming. See you there x

"Right girls, are you ready?" Jenna said, coming back into the office.

"Yep," Tamara said. "I've talked Leah into coming. I told her one of us will lend her something to wear. She'll have to borrow shoes from you though as mine will be too small."

"That's not a problem."

"Where are you going tonight?" Bella Swinton asked, coming into the room.

"None of your business," Jenna said.

"I'm not that bothered anyway. Why would I want to hang out with three nobodies like you? Carlos is taking me out to dinner, and then we are going to the afterparty. I guess you will never know what it's like to go to that. You have to be invited by a driver."

Tamara bit her lip to stop herself from laughing. She saw Jenna about to open her mouth so gave her a swift kick to the ankle, warning her to keep quiet.

"Anyway, I'm off now. Carlos is waiting for me in his Ferrari."

After Bella had left Jenna started cursing. "I hate that stuck up bitchy...bitch!" Tamara snorted at Jenna's choice of words.

"Oh I agree. Her face is going to be a picture later when she sees us there with Danny Ric."

"Well we'd better make a move. Shelley said to meet her in the car park in ten minutes, and it's been nearly that now."
