A whole new adventure

Part 10. Qualifying

You wake up before the alarm goes off. The sun is rising. You get to the bathroom and take a shower. you have an intense headache. You drank a lot last night. Maybe a little to much. You smile when thinking of Lando dancing on the chairs and the great laughs you had with George. You have a lot in common, which is fun since you are team mates. Max disappointed you again last night. Why does it even bother me? I have a lot of work to do today, this pole position is not going to come himself. When you get out of the shower you braid your hair so it doesn't get in the way while driving. You put on some team wear and walk in the elevator. It stops on floor lower. The door opens and you see George coming in. He gives you a hug. "Where is the pretty girl going?" You giggle. "Getting some breakfast how about you?" He smiles and presses the button so the elevator starts moving again. "Guess I'm going to have breakfast as well." You lock eyes but don't say anything. You walk to the restaurant and see Lando sitting there. George looks at you. "I'll grab you some breakfast sit down with Lando, I'll meet you there." You hug him. "Thanks George." You walk over to Lando who has his head buried in his arms while leaning on the table. "Rough night huh?" He looks up. He smiles. He is happy to see you. "Why didn't you stop me last night?" You giggle. "It was way to entertaining love." He looks you in the eyes. "Love? I like the sound of that." He winks. Before you can say anything back George gets to the table. You have breakfast and get in a taxi to go to the track. When you arrive you talk with George and Jost about the strategy's. First you have fp3 so you get ready to get in your car. Charlotte is also in the room and she gives you a few thumbs up before you get in. You are the fastest in fp3. Got to keep that pace in qualifying. You chill for a while until its time. You get in your car and you easily get to q2. George doesn't make it. When it's time for q2 you notice you are getting the hang of it. You become quicker and quicker. You end up second. Lando and Daniel are both out. When it's time for q3 you feel so nervous your hands are shaking. You drive a perfect lap, for a Williams. You end up in 5th place. Max is fourth. He is never fourth , what is up with him. You get out of your car and congratulate Bottas, who has pole. You get to the garage and come across George. "Congratulations Em, that was an amazing lap." He kisses you on your forehead. Charlotte sees it. When you go the drivers room she walks after you. "Emma, what was that?" You laugh. "George is my best friend. Nothing more. I promise." She giggles. "Well not in his eyes." She walks away while laughing. George? No. You could never fall for him.
