Taura walked in holding hands with Martin the next day.
Didn't even know he would be here already, he was supposed to be here on Sunday.
Fucker came a day early to see her.
And I hated that I felt like this because I absolutely love the dude. He was so much fun and was kind.
I knew he would treat Taura right, while making her life fun.
That's what I hated the most. I couldn't hate him even if I tried.
Greeted him quickly, smiled at Taura and walked to the garage.
Way too early but I just couldn't stand seeing them together.
It felt as if I had to chose between one of my best friends and Knox.
If it was anyone else she was dating, I would've just kissed her last night.
Probably a shit thing to do, but I couldn't help myself. Martin was the only reason I didn't do it.
Couldn't disrespect him like that.
Half an hour later, Taura walked in the garage. "Let's go Norris" she said, nudging me with a smile. "Let's go play in the wet a little"
"As long as you guide me through it" I winked at her, grabbing my helmet from the table.
Q1 and Q2 went fairly easy. It wasn't raining until the end of Q2 so I knew it was gonna be trickier right now.
"We are going on slicks for the first run" Will said through the radio. Pretty obvious, since it wasn't raining that much yet.
But everyones tires were cold and slippery. It was almost impossible to keep on the track.
"Come in the pit please" Will said after a lap or two. They were gonna put me on inters, and normally I would complain about that.
Tell them I didn't need that, I just needed some time to get heat in my tires.
But for some reason I decided to listen.
They put me on inters, drove out and even though I was slower than I was on slicks, I could actually manage the tires a little.
Made me faster than anyone else because they were getting off track left and right.
Not much later, everyone pitted for inters, except George, but his strategist was just horrible.
He probably hated us for stealing Knox away.
I knew how that felt though.
"And that's.." Will hesitated a little. "P2 mate. Max's on pole"
"Yeah baby" I responded. Trying to be excited about it. Which I was but I just hated to get beaten by Dutch people all the time.
Did the interviews and stuff and wanted to walk back in the hospitality, but was stopped by Bambi's friend.
Still didn't know her name.
"You're taking me out to dinner tonight" she said. Thought she was dating that mechanic and I definitely wasn't gonna mess around with her friends.
"No, I'm not?" I said, wanted to walk passed her.
"Yes Lando, you are"
I frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, I'm just hungry and you're taking me to dinner" she shrugged. Told me her hotel name and room number and walked off.
Definitely didn't want to have dinner with her, but maybe I could finally get to know her name.
Walked in the hospitality and saw Martin and Knox sitting together again.
Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to go to dinner with Bambi's friend after all.
Everything was better than to look at this, than to look at them.
