Chapter 2: Settlement

Each race could have 50-70 laps or more! Each laps need concentrations and speed. You are driving a speed car with laps up till 2 hours or more. It depends. The car need to maintain good shape and you need good technician with it. Honestly im not up to that part but im more on the designing on the body of the car. The little things on the car. My work mostly on building and improvising the car without changing EVERYTHING. Something like that. As a trainee, you need to read and understand more data now because you can't decide anything major yet but you need to give good ideas for them. No matter what they say, you are part of the team.

I saw how terrified it was to win a race because as a driver you got yourself another podium and as a team, you made it happened! Well, the first race was amazing! This part i love it and i just enjoyed myself!!

That night, they had a huge party for all the crews and drivers and everyone in the company was invited. I was not interested much on the party because it was the only time i could actually enjoy the city. So, we were in Silverstone this time. I called my dad and told him everything. While everyone headed to the party, i headed somewhere else which was the nearest town to it, it is called Town Chester. It have unique architecture and cathedrals available for a visit. I just googled where i could go and see those places. Take some nice pictures.

Suddenly Max texted me, he asked me where i am at the party. I said im not going.

Are you mad? This is your first hugeee party with us!

Im not much of a drinker and i think, im not looking forward to be hangover tomorrow. At least someone need to keep their mind on the right track. *laughs

So, where are you going?

Just gonna catch a drive to the nearest town and see whats up with the town.

You are wasting your time and you know it.

Enjoy the party! ;)

I took an Uber and got myself to Town Chester. It was at night so i couldnt enter much places so i just walked till i reached Watergate Streets. It was a bit of a long walk because im kinda bad with directions in map. I just sat there, took some pictures and looked at everyone else. I see couple holding hands, a family chi chatting and an old lady walking past by with a smile while she looked at me. I smiled back.

BAH!

I stood up and my heart almost skip a beat!

OMG you bastard! Can you NOT do that =.=

I cant help myself *laugh his lungs out!

What are you doing here exactly? I thought you wanted to be at the party.

I've had fair enough amount of drinking at the party. I saw you with your Uber. I watched you from afar.

Are you being a stalker? Such a creep!

No im not. I just dont like the idea of you walking alone in somewhere you dont even know. *serious face

Im big enough to do that you know. You shouldnt be worrying too much.

I know but, i cant forgive myself if anything happens to you. As im the only one who noticed your absence and...

You can stop there. I get the idea. *starting to blush (thank God its night. He cant really see my face)

Hey, while im here and you are protected so lets enjoy ourselves! Come! *he pulled my hand

So we started taking selfies, and most of it was Max and his fans. We walked a bit till i decided to go back because i dont want to be out too late as im not sure of our safety. Anything happened to Max, i could be the one to be blame.

I drove Max's car back to where we were staying.

Nice car you have here. Did you just drink and drive to get here?

Sort of.... Just dont tell anyone okay.

LOL you were worrying about me while yo should be worrying about yourself more! Compare to me, you are more valuable to the company.

Just drive okay...

Silence*

Max, im proud of you.

For?

You won the race! I mean, you won. It means a lot to me as my first race. I mean the first race i got to follow.

No problem. I hope you could join coming races.

Maybe. Im not much help being around them so it is like a waste of money to get me here. I only got here because i replaced of the officer as analyzer.

Hey, you should stop being hard on yourself. Everyone starts somewhere and you must be proud of yourself! I mean, look at you, you have a degree with 3.9 GPA and never had any arrest record even on driving!

I get it but, i feel so little for almost everyday. Its like, everyday you need to prove your worth and it could be exhausting.

I get it too and you need to change your perceptions. Those people just want you to learn as much as you could while you're still young because they dont want you to make the same mistakes. You need to tell yourself that any improvement made is for yourself.

I guess so, we're here.

I parked the car in the vvip parking space. Yeah, he got that spot for the weekend. I pulled him out of the car as i saw he could barely walked. Got him to his room.

Goodnight. Im gonna go.

He didnt want to let go of my hand. "Stay, please."

I dont think thats a good idea. You're drunk anyway. You wouldn't even remember this night.

Still holding my hands and this time he pulled me close enough to his face. He leaned over for a kiss and i just pushed him.

I said, " I dont want my first kiss with you while you're drunk." I just left.

The next day, i saw him but he was with some securities and i was in the economy class so, yeah. He didnt talked to me ever since or even text me. I think he is mad at me or something. I can't really do anything much about it because we are nothing. Maybe we like each other but, im not his level. I know my place.
