Pit Stops (Book I-F1 Series)

Chapter Seven

I dialled my brother's number again as i called him, where the hell is he now, I've landed an hour ago now. After a few rings he answered as i breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jacque, where are you?" I grumbled as I paced back and forth in the waiting area.

"You've landed?" He casually said as i heard some screeching on the background. Seems like he's at work.

"Yes, an hour ago. I've been waiting for you."

"Oh shit, im really sorry. Im here at Brackley, fuck. Im really sorry Anne." There was some scrambling as he continuously swears. "Wait I'll ask someone. I'll call you back."

He immediately hangs up as i waited there, constantly pacing back and forth, waiting for his call. I got tired and sat on the benches, still waiting for my brother's call.

After maybe thirty more minutes of waiting He finally called and i quickly answered while rolling my eyes.

"Anne, Mick is coming to get you since he's the only one in London right now, he just got back from Australia and he...." I felt my world stop when i heard Mick's name.

"Mick?" I managed to mutter out as i sat there breathless and in disbelief. Please dont say Schumacher. Please don't say Schumacher.

"Schumacher. Your teammate at Prema before." He explained and I just froze. My world completely stopped as my hand fell helplessly on my lap.

Can this day get worse? First the people with Charles at the airport now with Mick? My ex? I legitimately shiver as i thought of how close we were back then and now after so many years of not seeing each other, i dont know how to react when i see him.

"Anne?" I heard Jacque on the phone. "Hes coming to get you now since he's coming here to Brackley for a test drive tomorrow. Where are you?"

"Im in the last gate of the arrivals." I muttered helplessly, because what else can i do?  I don't know how uber works here. Yes I've been here for years before but i have a driver before i was 18 and i have a car after that.

I waited there for God know how long because I don't really care if he'll be here later, because i need as much time as i can get before facing him.

Flashback

"Do we really have to do this?" Mick looked at me with his pleading eyes. "We can still be together even if you're not in the academy."

"Yes, we really have to. Im leaving Prema and the Academy." I said as i sat up from the bed, covering my body with the duvet.

"Then there's no point in hiding this relationship, we can finally go out, have dinner, go on dates that we are supposed to do." He said as he picked up his shirt on the bedside table handing it to me when he sat up.

"I don't know if i can stay here in Italy every weekends anymore or in every race we have. Ive been accepted in Cambridge, Mick. I'm going to study back in England." I explained halfheartedly, because to be honest i dont want to do this too. I dont want to break up with him.

I slipped on his Prema shirt as i stood up from the bed butt naked.

"Do we really need to break up?" He just looked at me with that blue beautiful eyes, like the ocean.

"Mick, i dont want to slow you down. You have a bright future ahead of you in racing while I don't." I said as i stood up there in front of him with just his shirt on. He just sighed as he grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the bed.

"I don't want to lose you, i can go there in England if i have a free time. I can be there for you." He said as he pulled me in a hug.

"Im sorry but we have to. I have to." I muttered breaking my heard too in the process.
