O for Origami [JD7]

O for Origami

"

No wait! No! Jack!" I laughed as I watched him fumble with the piece of paper in his hands, completely and utterly confused by how exactly the man in the video was folding it.

"What!" he exclaimed, frustrated, to say the least, "I did exactly what he said and there is no way he folded it like that!"

I giggled with my perfectly folded swan.

"HOW DOES HE HAVE AN EXTRA FLAP??? THERE IS NO EXTRA FLAP HERE!!!"

I was close to falling off my chair now, my laughing was causing stomach cramps and Jack's comments were only fueling it.

His paper was completely scrunched up, as well as his nose, while he tried fixing his seemingly numerous errors.

No matter how much I laughed, he went on trying to fix it, worsening his progress and almost ripping the delicate paper at times.

I calmed myself down and leaned my head on my hand as I watched him from aside him.

We were sitting in his driver's room, waiting for the rain to calm. He was participatig in his rookie F1 practice session of the year and the weather had put a big pause in the whole thing.

Since it was expected that the rain clear up in less than an hour, a red flag was issued and the FIA had decided that the session would be resumed.

When, was the question.

To pass the time, I had brought what Jack calls my 'Goodie-Bag'. It's basically a bag filled with snacks and games or things to do while Jack is in a practice session, or while he is in debriefing and there's nothing for me to do except wait.

Now, with the heavy rain, he had brought me to his driver's room and almost immediately reached for my bag.

"What did you bring today?" he had asked.

"See for yourself," I smiled.

Whem he found the origami paper, he began bragging about how well he can do origami. He listed animals and flowers, raising his eyrbrows as he spoke.

Except now, with the paper in his hands, he was struggling to fold a simple swan- with instructions.

"Jack."

He raised his gaze for the first time, locking eyes with me. I felt a warmth rise inside me.

His attention was focused solely on me, every word I'd say was surely to be carefully recorded and saved inside his heart.

"Do you want some help?" I asked gently, not wanting to push his ego too much, though we both knew from the beginning that folding thin paper into intricate figures would never be his forte.

His eyes twinkled with defeat as he nodded, handing me his masterpiece. I took it from his hand, our fingers brushing.

He chuckled- a sound I had grown much too fond of.

"Here," I said, undoing some of his steps, "if you look closely, there are these two flaps here."

I looked up at him to see if he was comprehending my instructions. Jack only nodded.

"And so, in order to get this flap to this side here, you have to do this:"

As I demonstrated the art of Origami to Jack, he only smiled as he watched me while I worked.

His gaze wandered over my face to my neck admiring the necklace I was wearing- a gift of his for our one year anniversary.

I finished folding his craft into a swan as best as I could while explaining, setting it next to my own when I finished.

"There," I said, "not too bad."

Jack finally looked at the origami and nodded. I frowned but he chuckled.

'Sorry, I was distracted by the beautiful girl sitting in front of me."

I blushed, grabbing one of his hands and intertwining our fingers, automatically pulling him in closer.

"Well, there is a really cute boy who doesn't know how to do origami and seems really sweet here."

Jack blushed: "He seems handsome."

I smiled as I leaned closer, our faces inches away: "Oh, he's so handsome."

He smiled, setting one hand on the back of my neck, pulling me into him.

His lips crashed onto mine as he gently kissed me.

"Gosh I love you so much," he breathed in between kisses.

"I love you too," I said quietly.

We spent the rest of the waiting time playing different games and mentally preparing for the wet track.

But we were both happy.
