Crashing Borders

by Xiao_FeiFei

Summary:

How would someone find out if you are secretly dating?
Text messages? Recorded phone call? Sneaky picture out on a date?
When it got out that the two star drivers of Formula One were seeing each other, it took more drama to reveal their feelings. Specifically, it took a 160km/h crash for everyone to see that the ongoing war between the duo wasn't filled with as much hate as previously believed.
.
.
Or, put two formula one drivers with trauma and anger issues in a team. The worst that could happen is them crashing into borders, right?
Christian Horner wasn't prepared for what one decision could do to his sanity.

Notes:

I had this idea about a year ago, and somehow I am bad at writing short stories... So, be ready for another book length coming your way!
I hope you will enjoy this slight angst, hurt, and character development as much as me!

Trigger Warnings:
Crass language
Racing accidents
Trauma (Violence - mentioned and implied)
Sports sexism... Because let's not forget f1 isn't perfect and there is some nasty things that have been said...
