Kiki's pov

During the race weekend at Silverstone, I spend all of my time in the Paddock with my best friend, Oliver Bearman. My mom doesn't really like watching races since her husband, my dad, died during a race in Italy.

Me and Ollie have known each other since we were very young. Our parents are friends so that's why we met. When we were little, we promised to each other to never let the other down.

During free practice Ollie finished 7th. I was really proud of my best friend, even though I knew he could have done better. When Ollie arrives at the box, he is congratulated by his engineers. Then he approaches me and takes me in his arms. I whispers in his ear:

-Well done Kitty, I'm proud of you boy!

The weekend is going very well and Ollie still finishes in the top 10. I feel really good in the company of my best friend, but since Friday I have noticed a really cute young man. I don't want to go talk to him, because I don't really know him. I have seen him once or twice with the Prema team, but nothing more.

On Sunday, I was with Prema, in the garage, when the young man, from the other day, arrived. I felt a strange feeling in my chest and start to blush when I see him. He sees me and comes to talk to me.

-Ciao, my name is Kimi! What's your name?

-My...my...my name is Kiki. I replied with a lot of shyness.

-Cute!! I love your name. I need to go. But it was nice to meet you Kiki! Replied Kimi.

-See you later! I wish.. I said in a whisper.

While Ollie and Kimi were racing, it started to rain heavily. The race management decided to let them race even if it was raining a lot, but with caution. I was worried that many tragic events could happen to the drivers. I didn't want Ollie and Kimi to get hurt or worse, die. The track was very wet but the race had to continue.

After about twenty laps, the rain had calmed down a little, but it was very slippery on the track. I was always on the lookout for any little gestures that Ollie and Kimi could do.

I took a sip of water from my water bottle and a few seconds later Kimi's car was out of control. The car wouldn't turn and Kimi crashed into a wall. The accident happened around turn 7. I was having a panic attack while seeing little Kimi crashing into a wall.

I quickly got up from my seat and my heart suddenly stopped beating. Kimi got out of the car. He was devastated by the situation and I was too. He looked so handsome in his racing suit. Kimi returned to the garage sad but in safe hands. It was at that moment that I realized that I cared a lot about him, even if I didn't know him very well.

I ran to Kimi and jumped into his arms crying softly. He held me against him for a few seconds. I stepped back and apologized for jumping on him.

-Sorry. I didn't want to be so intense.

-It's correct. Were you worried? He said smiling.

-A little... I said embarrassedly.

-That's cute of you. Kimi answered me.

I smiled and one of the engineers tapped him on the shoulder. He smiled at me and left.

I couldn't stop thinking about that hug with Kimi. He was so delicate and at the same time so strong. I felt safe with him, but I don't think he felt the same way about me.

When the race was over, I was all wet because of the rain. Ollie finished 11th. He was a little disappointed. He joined us in the garage, but just when I was having a discussion with Kimi. Ollie took me by the arm and asked if he could speak to me in private...

-Can I talk to you please?

-Yes of course. For what? I said a little worried.

Ollie drags me further away from Kimi and says:

-I don't understand why you like this boy!?

-I do not like him!! I replied a bit annoyed.

Ollie turns and leaves me there. I turn to Kimi and say to him:

-I'm going to go back to the hotel. See you soon!

-Yes, well I hope so. Bye!
