Sunday-25/8/19
"Valentino is so cool!" Lando spoke, he'd been ranting about Vale since we left the Yamaha garage.
"You're such a fanboy Lando," I giggled, glancing over to the kid, my boyfriend, that had stolen a Valentino Rossi bucket hat from the garage.
"I'm not a fanboy, just passionate," Lando laughed.
"We have to meet Fabio before the race, so like if we go now I'll be able to talk to him for a while," I explained to Lando, heading towards the Petronas Yamaha riders motorhome.
I knocked on the door enthusiastically, reaching it ages before Lando did because I was excited to see Fabio. He opened the door and when seeing it was me immediately jumped down and gave me a hug.
"Can I jump on you without hurting you?" I asked, he nodded his head and I jumped into his arms.
"I missed you, also I can't believe I'm at a MotoGP race, it's so awesome and I literally just met my idol and I'm going to meet my other idol after this race and I'm really excited," I rambled as Fabio put me down.
Then Lando appeared behind us. "Sorry I thought I was the one who would fanboy or fangirl the most but Emilia was just waiting to ramble to you," Lando teased. I glared at him, a smile threatening to break through my features.
Fabio invited us in. "Wow your motorhome is fucking beautiful, I love the modern look," I rambled once again.
"Oh my god, do you ever shut up?" Lando asked.
"Wow ouch, my own boyfriend," I teased, "I've got other options Lando, some of them in this very paddock," I added.
"Oh my god, no. I better stay on your good side," Lando laughed, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. Fabio watched on as the two of us messed around.
"So you've met Rossi, decided to visit me, what else are you guys planning on doing?" Fabio asked.
"Well we were going to visit Marc, Maverick and I don't know what else," I told him, Lando nodding along.
"Then we're going to go back to my apartment for a while, then I'll drop her home," Lando added.
We had a really long nice chat until Fabio had to go to his garage. Lando and I had to go back to the Yamaha garage anyway so we'd have a good place to watch from. We were watching from the pit wall so that was really cool.
The race was about to begin, Marc was on pole.
"Wow the bikes are literally so fast," Lando said as the bikes rounded the first corner, we turned around again, away from the track so we could watch what was happening on the big tv. Landos arms were wrapped carefully around my waist as we turned back and forth to see what was happening.
The fight between Marc and Alex Rins came down to the last lap. Alex pipped Marc to the win by near milliseconds, it was amazing. We walked through the pit lane quickly so we could watch the podium. The Honda and Yamaha guys pulled us right up to the front. Marc smiled at me when he noticed I was there.
"Hey, how was the race?" He asked.
"It was literally fucking awesome, sorry you didn't win though," I told him.
"No it's fine, it was a good race and I still have a good championship lead," Marc smiled before he was called off to do an interview. Maverick appeared then to say hi as well.
"Hey Maverick, I'm your biggest fan!" I shouted jokingly.
"Wow it's so great to meet you, would you like a picture or something?" Maverick teased.
"How about a meet up later," I suggested.
"Of course, would your boyfriend like to come too?" Maverick asked.
"Only if he gets to meet Rossi again," I giggled, Lando glaring from beside me.
I got out the camera Lando had bought and began filming. We'd filmed throughout the day, for a surprise LandoLog. I was doing the filming because you know, I'm good at it and Lando can't even keep a camera alive on Twitch.
We filmed the podium ceremony, though I had to shield the camera from champagne spray.
"Emilia if you just want to head to the Honda paddock area and I'll meet you when I'm done, it'll be like ten minutes," Marc explained. We did what he said and he reappeared just as we got to the paddock because Lando got a bit distracted fanboying over Valentino as we passed. I had to grab his hand and drag him past the garage.
"So first MotoGP race, have you guys had fun?" Marc asked.
"Yeah it's been great, I had a heart attack when Fabio crashed though. By the way have you heard anything about him being one hundred percent okay yet?" I asked Marc.
"No I haven't but if I do I'll text you," Marc assured.
I checked the time after we'd been chatting for a while. Lando wanted to go back to his after this and my parents wanted me home by ten, I know. The drive from Silverstone to Guildford was about two hours so we had to leave in an hour if he wanted to be at his apartment for a while.
"Marc we might have to go now, Maverick really wants me to come see him. Lando and I have to leave in like an hour though so we might have to head off," I explained.
"Oh, no problem I'll see you the next time you come to a race," he smiled, giving me a hug and Lando a handshake.
We rushed about and ran into Maverick in the paddock. "Hey Mav!" I shouted, he smiled widely.
He pulled me into a hug, waving at Lando. "Sorry you're the last person we're coming to see today, which means you get the least amount of time," I told him.
"No problem, I only really have about twenty minutes anyway," he laughed.
Once again we were asked about our day and a few more things as time started to slip away.
"Shit, Emilia. We better go," Lando suddenly interrupted, I grabbed his arm, checking his watch.
"Oh fuck, we probably should," I groaned, "Bye Maverick, it was wonderful to see you," I added.
We said our goodbyes and Lando dragged me out of the paddock. "I want to go to every MotoGP race ever," I said as we climbed into his McLaren.
"You're going to talk this whole car ride aren't you," Lando laughed, I nodded my head. His hand rested on my thigh as we began the car ride home, his thumb rubbing soft circles.
I fell asleep not even half way into the journey.
Another real life chapter after this and then back to the Instagram chapters.
