'Your bike looks so badass.' Olivia said while tracing her finger across one of the two bikes that were standing on his side of the Yamaha garage. She gently touched the red number twenty and she felt a proud feeling going through her body, her brother had come so far already in his still young life. She felt excited to be around bikes again. She always loved the complexity of it, they were so many factors involved, more than you possibly could imagine.

'It does, right?' The rider grinned, it made him so happy to see her eyes twinkling at the sight of his bike. Fabio had promised to show her the garage after finishing the interview with a Spanish broadcaster, which she of course gladly accepted. He had already introduced his sister to his team, which made her feel welcome.

'Fabio! Here you are! I was looking for you.. It's almost time to go.' Suddenly Tom's head popped up around the corner interrupting the siblings' rare alone time during the Grand Prix weekend.

'Are you coming, sis? I don't want to leave you alone again.' Fabio asked her and she looked up at him.

'To what?' Olivia asked confused. Tom was already waiting with both hands on his side for his rider.

'The official press conference is starting in a couple of minutes along with some other riders. You wanna come along? Tom will be there with you.' Fabio quickly explained.

'I will come with you guys.' She agreed. It was better than being alone in the hospitality again.

'Alright, nice! Let's go now.' Tom said and the three of them quickly walked outside, meeting the Yamaha press officer and walking to the media center together. The three of them walked in front of Olivia quickly discussing some last-minute things about the press conference as Olivia was lost in thought thinking that her hanging around at race tracks with her brother almost felt like the old times, except for the scars she carried with her and the little girl at home.

'Good luck Fabio!' Olivia wished her brother before he went to the podium, where six chairs were standing. Two of the chairs in the middle were empty. She noticed a Tech3 rider, an LCR rider, an Aprilia rider, and one Suzuki rider. Their faces seemed familiar, but she couldn't tell their names.

'Thanks!' He winked at her and one of Dorna's employees told him to take one of the two seats left. Olivia looked around and noticed a lot of journalists waiting on the press conference to start and a couple of what she assumed were press officers of the teams present at today's conference. She noticed Tom walking at one of the last rows of chairs in the room and sat down next to his girlfriend Mathilde, press officer of Tech3. Olivia quickly followed her brother's best friend and sat down next to the couple.

'Olivia!' Mathilde squealed and pulled the girl into a quick hug. 'How are you? I knew you were around this weekend, but I hadn't seen you around earlier.'

'I'm good! How are you?' Olivia smiled, the happiness from the Tech3 girl working contagious on her.

'Never been better! I am so happy to see you! It's been a while.' Mathilde was right, the two of them hadn't seen each other in a while. They always saw each other during holidays, birthdays, and parties.

'We need to catch up! Maybe you should come to a party with me this weekend!' Mathilde offered, really looking forward to some girl time.

'That would be nice!' Olivia smiled at the girl, the two of them always got along really well. It was nice to see another familiar face in the paddock.

'I will text you about it later.' Mathilde winked at the girl. Suddenly there was a lot of noise as the other rider arrived, she quickly looked up and saw a man in an orange, white-colored shirt from behind having a joke with Fabio. As he took a seat behind her brother, she suddenly saw his face. It was the exact same men she had seen earlier today.

'Silence please, we gonna start the press conference. Thank you.' A man in a Dorna shirt said, making everyone shut up as he gave an introduction of the riders present at today's press conference. As he went through all six names of the riders on the stage, she only could remember one name of the other five riders she didn't know.

Olivia then realized she had been holding her breath. The man who had caught her eye earlier today was no one other than the multiple World Champion, Marc Marquez. She felt silly that she didn't remembered him earlier. She felt a shiver going through her body as she remembered their little moment. His brown eyes had her hypnotized. She couldn't help but stare at him on stage. He looked so at ease being in front of all these people, he of course had done this many times in the past. He was the former World Champion after all, Fabio being the current one.

Marc was glad that the press conference was almost done. The media were asking Joan and Raul some questions and Marc's thoughts were wandering off as he looked around the room. Suddenly he saw the blonde girl from earlier sitting in the room, looking at her phone. He wondered who that girl next to Mathilde was. Was she one of her friends who was joining her on a race weekend? Marc couldn't help but he needed to know who she was. There was something about her, he just couldn't put his finger on it.

'If the riders could please stand up for a picture? That's it for today, thank you!' The Dorna men spoke as the six riders stood all next to each other and smiled for the couple photographers in front of them. After a minute they were done and Marc had his eyes fixed on the blonde girl again.

'Let's go outside, we will wait for Fabio there.' Tom said at that same moment, trying to get Olivia's attention as she was looking at her phone. She had just got a message from her mom about Hailey that she of course wanted to answer quickly. Olivia nodded and got up, not noticing a certain rider looking at her from a distance. A rider who she was staring at not long ago.

'That was a long time since we both were in the same press conference.' Alex, Marc's brother, spoke as he suddenly stood beside his brother.

'Hello? I'm talking to you!' Alex gently slapped Marc's arm as he noticed that his brother was not listening to him. Marc had his eyes focused on the back of the room. The blonde was now standing and she, Mathilde, and Tom were on their way to the exit. Marc silently groaned, he had missed another opportunity to talk to her.
