Only You

I scanned my pass in and walked though the barrier and down the gated lines where hundreds fans waited to meet the stars of the show. Aka the drivers. The saw me and immediately called my name and stuck out the hand filled with caps and posters for me to sign.

I pushed back my sad feelings and put on a smile so they would not see that anything was wrong. I made my way through the crowd and signed thing and smiled for pictures. 

I eventually made it to the paddock but was now bombarded with photographer and reporters shoving microphones into my face and spewing questions. I didn't bother answering any of them and just focused on getting to the garage.

I eventually made my way there and went to get ready. Today was race day so I had to be focused on what I was doing.

I was talking with a few team members about just small talk. I went to the back to change out of my clothes into my racing suit and to grab my notes. 

I could feel myself get sad again. I could feel my chest tighten while I thought about how my ex cheated on me. I hate it. I hate that I can't find anyone who likes me for me and not my money and fame. That's all they ever care about. Just money and fame and I'm stupid enough to believe that they would actually ever like me. I'm angry at myself. 

I'm not going to focus on that right now. I can't focus on that right now. I have to do good today to make sure that I do good race day. I go back out and greet a few people before grabbing my headphones and putting them on and reviewing my notes. 

After a few minutes after I see someone out of the corner of my eye sit next to me. I turn my head to see my teammate Carlos sitting next to me. I smile at him but I know that he can tell I'm not really happy. 

"Cheer up mate it'll be okay I promise you'll find someone that will love you for you mate." Carlos said with confidence. 

"I know but that's not what we are going to focus on right now." I said wanting to change the subject. We both began talking about different strategies to help win today. 

After about 30 minutes of talking we both stopped and took a break to go get some breakfast. We found some snack in the back and brought it back along with some coffee. We sat back down. I felt Carlos tap me on the shoulder. I look over to him but he's looking forward so I look that way. 

"Who is that?" he asks still looking over. I look to see a girl. A gorgeous one at that. She had long brown hair with highlights in it that reached down to her waist. She had high cheekbones with a straight jawline. Pouty lips that were the perfect shade of pink. Her tan skin glowed in the light that seeped into the garage. Her cheeks a bit pink and her lashes were long and full. Her eyes were an almond shape and were light brown but looked a bit hazel in the sun. Her teeth were white as pearls. Her smile was one that made anyone smile. She was about 5'4 with an hourglass figure. She was drop dead gorgeous.

I watched her move around and talk with team members. I watched her laugh and I felt butterflies in my stomach. Never in my life has anyone ever given me butterflies just by laughing. I was in shock when I saw her. 

"Mate at least close your mouth if you're going to stare you're getting drool everywhere." Carlos said laughing while lifting a finger to my jaw and pretending to close it. I snapped out of my trance. I shoved his hand away and laughed.  My eyes drifted back to her. I watched her hair drop down her shoulder as she looked down at some papers. She lifted her hand to push it back behind her ear then turning her head to talk again to the team manager. She licked her lips then slightly bit her lip while nodding at what he was saying.
