Despacito • Marcus Armstrong

I preferred when you sang despacito

Tita was leaving home to college. She attended Huelva's University, studying Cultural Management since she planned to work in events planning. But her dream was to work in FIA or with an F1 team, planning their events. Even though it was a distant dream, she kept it in her mind.

She made the 10 minutes walk until she entered the college doors, going towards the classroom. She sat in her usual place and started to open her notebook. Around her, people talked to eachother while waiting for the professor, but Tita didn't really get along with them since her first day two years ago, so she preferred to keep the friendships she made in high school.

Waiting too, she decided to open instagram and see if anyone had posted anything since last night

@marcusarmstrong Two weeks till we're back on track! Sadly we can't race in Macau this year :(
Leaving you an old memory of my love for Macau

@tita.r.morales good impersonation of Elton John, but i have to say i preferred when you sang despacito.

The girl remembered when he won the Italian F4 Championship in 2017, and instead of looking to the cameras he was singing Despacito by Luis Fonsi. She had been following FDA drivers for some time, and when Marcus joined that year, she could see that he had potential, which was confirmed when in that same year he was crowned champion. And she decided to comment about that moment to see if that would make him as happy as she used to be when she thought of it.

Marcus had just posted on Instagram and, as always, the likes started dropping, and also some comments. But one, in particular, caught his attention. This girl (he supposed) remembered him about the championship he won in 2017, and she wrote about his singing. He knew he wasn't the best singer, but it was something he enjoyed to do and even to post on Instagram. 

He decided to check the girl's profile but there was not much too see since it was private, but the description had her location - Huelva, Spain - and her racing team - Scuderia Ferrari.

- Hey, Callum, do you think I should dm this girl? - he asked his housemate and also F2 driver - She lives in Spain but -

- Where did she come from? - Ilott interrupted him and Marcus explained to him - I mean, you can't even see a picture of her, but if you want to dm her, why not?

AN: I'm posting this chapter that I wrote yesterday bc I couldn't write anything after what happened today with Grosjean and later Stroll (i think the race should've been canceled). I'm just glad Romain is okay, as far as possible. It was truly a miracle (that also involved an excelent work of the two men in the medical car: Alan van der Merwe and Dr. Ian Roberts; and all the safety measures, including the halo) and a reminder that even though it is safer than ever, it is still a dangerous sport.
