Part 1 🩷 : Chapter 2 : Midnight Rain

Jules🌟
Before I could say anything, he started running in the direction behind me. I looked back at him in disgust and disbelief. I was so grossed out by how self involved yet self unaware he was. I decided not to overthink it because I was having an extremely good day before this.

I headed over to my brothers team, who is now in full gear and ready to get into his car. He smiled at me just before putting his helmet on. I waited at the back of the garage, looking at him with awe of how far he'd come.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was a gorgeous woman with light brown curls and tan skin. She had a Red Bull T-shirt on and a headset.

" Hey, you're julia right? Max's sister?" She asked in an excited voice.

" oh yeah," I said sounding a bit lost and nervous.

" I saw what happened on the paddock with your coffee. I'm really sorry. I got you a new one though" she said, handing me a coffee.

" oh my God, thank you so much" I said stammering in disbelief of how nice she was.

" I am Mia. Mia Baker, I am Christian's assistant, so you'll see me around for most of the weekend," she said introducing herself.

I shook her hand, and it felt like something instantly clicked.

" so where are you from?" I asked her.

"Oh we travel around the workd cus of the races so much so I usually dont know what to say. But I'm basically from Brooklyn"

"You're kidding ! I just finished my college in New York from NYU"

"Ya I could tell from the coffee and the crazy new york hair ahhaah"

"Oh this?" I said pointing to my absolutely frizzy hair. "This is all cus of the rain it'll get better in a few hours. I actually got soaked in the rain yesterday on my way to the airport ."

"Oh wait what, dint you have a taxi or someone to pick you up?"

" Yeah, funny story, Max actually forgot that I was coming at 11 AM and not p.m. so I was kind of left stranded at the airport and I had to share a cab with the same guy that I just bumped into and spilled my coffee all over."

"Hey anytime that you need a ride my love, you can always call me." She said grabbing my phone and typing something on it. "This is my number and you can call me at any time. I don't care night or day and I'll be there."

She was so unbelievably sweet and amazing. It just made me hate the airport guy even more. I dont know why I was comparing the two, maybe cus they were new people I'd met. It was pretty safe to say that I definitely liked Mia a hell of a lot more than that devilish man.

I hastily changed my shirt, jumped into the car and sped onto the track. As I set out on the track, I felt like something was off. The car was different. The grip was unsettling and an unease crept over me. I did a few laps and then got out.

I hated this feeling when I felt like my car dint understand me. When I was in the car, nothing in the world mattered, but on day like this, where I can't get a hold of my car, I'd feel this empty void in me.

I went back down to talk my mechanics through the car and its problems and after a while of that i decided to head back to the hotel.

In hotel lobby
I saw Lando and Danni all dressed up in expensive shirts and long pants waving right at me as I walked in all sweaty and humid into the hotel lobby.

"Heya mate you look tense" Danni said as i walked towards them.

"Ya just something with the car." I said after a pause. "Where are you two going tho all dressed up??"
