7 - Wait for me

Marco's POV:

Marco: Morning Eztli

Eztli: Heyy Marco I'm so sorry about not answering last night, I got caught up with something

Marco: That's fine, listen I know it's going to sound a bit forward but would you like to see the races with me at the Mexican GP?

Eztli: Oh, yeah no sorry. My work schedule is tight and I don't think my parents would approve of me going to another country to see a f1 race by myself

Marco: "Does it help that the FIA is reviewing some new guidelines they want to add and they are hiring interns to write the transcript as they put them into practice this weekend to see if they would actually help the drivers?", I felt nervous but it wasn't a total lie, they already had enough interns but Lewis said he could get her in. I still can't wrap my head around why he asked me to convince her but as long as I get to spend time I don't care about his reasoning.

Eztli: Wait really?? I mean it would make my resume look good and my parents would allow me as long as it's going to help me get into law school.

Marco: Yeah, listen if you want to send me your resume I can forward it to my boss since he needs an intern for his team.

Eztli: okay alright, listen let me give my parents a call real quick

Marco: Okay just let me know

a few minutes later...

Eztli: Marco!!!!!!

Marco: "Yes? Did they say yes??", I hoped I was right.

Eztli: They said yes they were thrilled to hear that my little trip last weekend resulted in a potential internship.

Marco: That's amazing!!! Listen I will follow up with my boss, he should send you an email later this week.

Eztli's POV

It was Thursday night and Eztli was placing her bags in her car as she was going to leave for the airport at 5 a.m the next day. She had called into work sick telling them she came down with the flu which sounded like the fattest lie but it was a paperwork day on Friday so her boss said it was okay. The email she received from Mercedes said they'd cover her travel expenses and hotel, she'd be staying with the team in the same hotel which she thought would be great since she could surprise Lewis.

They'd had been talking all week, well correction she had been going back and forth between Lewis and Marco. She thought Marco was amazing for getting her that internship, it was a bit weird though that coincidentally she even got it, she didn't even go through an interview process just through her resume she got the position. She couldn't help but think about Lewis, "Marco is a first-year engineer no way does he have any power or influence, Lewis does, Lewis was the one to bring the Mexican GP up during their talk over the phone, something tells me this bitch had something to do with it", she was flattered yet weirded out by both of them.

Day of the Mexican GP Eztli arrives at the hotel...

I need to get to my room and get ready before I meet up with the Mercedes team.

As I got into the hotel room, I realized it only had one bed, which was odd considering the email said I'd be sharing the room with another intern. I didn't think too much of it since I had to get ready. Since I knew I got to stay inside I knew I could wear a simple dress and mules. As I left my room I decided to call Marco and ask him if he was at the track yet,

Eztli: Hola hola Marco!!

Marco: hola Eztli are you here yet?

Eztli: I'm about to leave the hotel and head to the track what about you?
