Daniela
I wake up completely disoriented. It takes a bit for my eyes to adjust to the light that is peaking through the window. Wait, I went to take a nap yesterday at one pm. Holy shit, how did I manage to sleep so long. Well guess that's what happens when you don't sleep well. I look at my phone. 10:30 am. I get out of bed and go to the mini bar to get some water. I feel so fancy walking around the penthouse. I guess this is the help I get from my mom and dad. I make my way outside to the balcony. I sit down on the little couch and enjoy the view. After a while I make my way inside. I go to Lewis's room and knock. Lewis opens the door and smiles at me.
„Good morning kiddo" he says
„Good morning dad" i say
That's when I realise I just called Lewis dad. I look at him.
„I'm sorry" i apologise
„No, no don't. Don't apologise" he says
I swear I see tears in his eyes. I hug him. I think that was a surprise for him but he hugged me back. I feel a drop on my shoulder. I look up to Lewis. I was right he is crying.
„Why are you crying Lew?" i ask
„You made me the happiest person alive when you called me dad" he says and kisses my head
„What are we doing today?" i ask him
„We are going to the track" he says
„What track?" i ask confused
Lewis let's out a laugh.
„Kid I am a formula one driver and so are the others that you saw yesterday" he says
I look at him in shock. He is a driver like my father. I could lose him too. No, no no my breathing becomes quicker. I go to my room and get the photo of my dad out of my backpack. Tears streaming down my face I clutch it to my chest. I can't breathe. Lewis was quick to follow me. He held me in his arms.
„Hey, hey, hey look at me. Copy my breathing" he says
I am trying to copy it but it's hard. All I can think of is losing him like I lost my father. Lewis holds me still in his hands. After a while my breathing calms down.
„You alright kid?" asks Lewis
I just nod. I stand up and go to the bathroom to wash my face. After I do that I go to my room and got dressed. I leave my room and see Lewis standing there waiting for me.
„I'm ready" i say
„Good let's go" he says
We make our way to his car. The whole ride was silent. Until I decided to break the silence.
„Which grand prix is it?" i ask Lewis
„The Imola grand prix" he says
My blood runs cold when I hear the answer. My dad died on this track nine years ago. I remain silent after he answered. After a while we arrive at the track. We make our way through the press and enter the mercedes garage. As we walk in I hear someone greet Lewis.
„Ahh Lewis there you are" says the man
„Good to see you Toto" says Lewis
„Oh and who is this precious angel?" asks Toto looking down at me
I hide behind Lewis and take his hand.
„Toto this is Daniela, Dani say hi" says Lewis
I just wave a little at him still hiding behind Lewis.
„Come on Dani that's rude" says Lewis
I step aside.
„Hello my name is Daniela Senna and it's nice to meet you Toto" i say in the most sarcastic way
Toto looks at Lewis confused.
„Senna?" he asks
„That's right didn't you hear me?" i ask him
He ignores me and continues to look at Lewis with disbelief. It's like he has seen a ghost. Someone calls him and he disappears in a moment. Lewis goes to get ready for free practice and tells me to stay still on the couch I don't know in what part of the garage but soon I find it. After a while I get bored and leave the garage. I start walking around the looking inside of the other garages. That's when something caught my attention in the McLaren garage. It was a picture of my dad. I walked in ignoring all the looks I get and make my way to the portrait. I'm standing in front of it. I gently touch it hoping to feel some kind of connection to him. But nothing. Someone clears their throat behind me. I turn around and see a man standing there.
„What are you doing here?" he asks
„Watching the painting" i say
„Do you even know who this is?" he asks me
„My dad" i say without thinking
„Ha ha yes and I'm Michael Jordan" he says not believing me
„Who are you here with kid?" he asks
„Lewis Hamilton" i say
„Look kid with lying you won't achieve anything in this situation" he says
„Go and ask him himself" i say calm
„Ok but you are coming with me" he says
I nod and he grabs my hand. I immediately get out of his grip and follow him. We arrive at the mercedes garage.
„Lewis" he says approaching him
„Dani there you are. I was worried sick. Don't go anywhere else before telling me kid" Lewis says
„I told you" i say looking at Zak
„Told him what?" asks Lewis
„I entered the McLaren garage because I saw a painting of my father and when Zak asked what I am doing there I said I was looking at the painting. He didn't believe that it was my father. He didn't believe that I was with you today dad" i say and the last part slipped out
„Sorry" i say
„Don't apologise" says Lewis
„Zak you can go. Thank you for bringing her here" Lewis says
„Of course" says Zak
„I don't like him" i say to Lewis after Zak left
„Kid can I ask you who your father is?" Lewis asks
„Ayrton Senna" i say
He hugged me. And I got tears welling up in my eyes. Fuck I don't want to cry but there is something so comforting about crying. I don't fight the tears anymore I just cry in Lewis's arms. What if Lewis crashes here and I lose him like I lost my father.
„Lewis please be careful on the track. I don't want to lose you like I lost my father here" i say and look at him
„I promise kiddo" he says and kisses my head
