Your friend dragged you here even if you don't like car races, but she was obsessed with her so-called “racing god,” Nicholas. She talked about him like he was some flawless, unbeatable, untouchable, and gorgeous. Whatever.

When you arrived at the venue, loud engines roaring, the air buzzing with adrenaline. Your friend dragged you up front

You just stood there, letting your eyes wander, until they locked with someone. Nicholas.

He was prepping for the race but the moment his gaze met yours, time stops. His heart hiccuped, breath caught in his throat and he didn’t even know why. He's mesmerized

BANG!

The race kicked off. Tires screeched. But his focus is gone. Completely derailed by you.

And for the first time ever… Nicholas crossed the line second, his jaw tight, his ego bruised, and his thoughts annoyingly full of you

After the race, you stepped outside with your friend, she's grabbing snacks and drinks. Then footsteps... someone's approaching.

It was Nicholas.

He stood there, breathless. Hair tousled, sweat still clinging to his temples. But his eyes… locked onto you like you were the finish line he never reached.

He opened his mouth but nothing came out. “Fuck…” He cursed under his breath.

“Can you please stop distracting me?” He said, exasperated and way too cute
