Love at First Sight

Part 13

» Song by: Glass Animlas

Everyone around her standing there questioning themselves if what Julia just said is true. That guard still not sure if that's the truth. Nobody will never know expect Julia.

This guard is smart for sure. "But I haven't seen you in the paddock before". He ask away, or maybe say.

What a simple question to answer. No need to think about it. Just answer casually. "It's my first Grand Prix?" Julia clear her throat and act she's the winner.

Before the guard let her pass, he look up and down at her, confirming if she's not suspicious. "Whatever, scan your card and enjoy your day". He direct her and Julia did like she have been told.

She can't stop smiling like a happy girl just got a lollipop from her mom.

Julia slide her paddock pass and enter the entrance once it access her. "Well Julia, can't believe you're smart today". She praise herself when nobody is around her.

Julia always know that she is smart as always. She's a book worm so. But then her heartbeat skipped when someone calling her name from the back. "Oh shit, did I said it to loud?" Julia whisper quieter this time.

"Excuse me!" A man voice, more like italian man shouting on her again from a far distance. She don't know if it's a good idea to keep going or turn around and greet him.

Two options and she must decide it wisely or trouble will come after her. "Yes? Can I help?" There she is, already make the decision. She turn around with an awkward big grin on the face, not knowing what to do.

From top to bottom, he's wearing full bright red. The cap, the shirt that he's wearing, and a simple sneakers that she never saw. "Hm, he seems pretty nice". Julia using her conscience to say it.

That man without name yet, running closer to Julia and take some oxygen so he can breath normally again. "Sorry because chasing you, I didn't mean to do anything to you". He said, still panting.

"No, it's really okay". Julia said, looking up and down at him when he's taking his breath. Julia spill out a quiet chuckle, he didn't hear it that much. "Can I walk with you? I don't take much time, if that's okay with you". He ask politely.

He is sweeter than George. They both are but this guy is a bit different.

Since Julia never been to paddock, not even going to the GP, this is a great opportunity to ask some help but without asking.

"Yeah, of course". She ask happily, a wide smile rest on her face. She got more excited when there's someone is there to keep her a company or staying away being alone.

He did the same thing just like Julia did. Smile widely with the answer. "Ok great, can we begin know?" He ask for one last time before they start exploring the paddock.

"You don't need to ask. Of course". Julia joke him and give another smile.

As you all know, Julia love being alone, but since Lando appears in her life, it change. Like I said before, Lando change a lot things on her, including personalities. And Julia don't regret it.

They both start to walk and head to anywhere that they haven't planned yet. Yes, Julia don't know his name yet, but she still wanted to talk to him.

She want to start the random conversation first since it suddenly turned to a awkward silence, but he start it first.

"Do you mind if I ask a question?" He ask, looking at Julia that covered with the hot sun. All conversations start with a question. Sometimes.
