"And yet you came!" Majka heard Karol's familiar voice behind her. As she turned around, the boy gave her a radiant smile.
"Somehow it turned out."
"I am glad for this reason. Are you racing today?"
"Probably not."
The girl felt uncomfortable because she felt so many inquisitive glances on her. It was unthinkable that Olszański came to some girl instead of joining his brother right after the race. The boy wanted to say something, but a man interrupted their conversation.
"You're dating for a rematch, huh?" he laughed.
"Even if, it's none of your business" the blonde growled.
"Oh, everyone gathered here" he pointed his hand at the gathered people. "Everyone wants to know when you show this girl where the crayfish hibernate."
"Eh, I don't think we will talk here in peace" Olszański rubbed his neck with his hand. "Then maybe we'll meet you somewhere in the city. I'd like to talk to you about racing."
"All right..."
He held out his cell phone towards her. Majka called her number. Answering the phone, the boy thanked him and smiled.
"Okay, lovebirds, which of you will be racing with me today?" the disgruntled guy asked earlier.
"I came with Robert. We can only make an appointment another time. What do you drive?"
"Audi A4 B5. Maybe this young lady will face me? After all, she beat you lately."
"No."
"Don't be asked. Show me, are you really good, or maybe the blonde gave you a date to go out with him?"
Unfortunately, the race ended in failure for Majka.
*****
During the summer holidays, Majka got a job in a clothing store in one of the shopping malls in the city. They agreed to go for a pizza. Karol did not wait for her in the pizzeria, as agreed, but at her shop. In his hand he held a pink flower, her favorite.
"Hello, this is for you," he handed her Peony. "When I heard his name, it immediately reminded me of you," he gave her a broad smile.
They went to the premises, ordered food.
"What did you want to talk about?" the girl asked.
"I am very curious how it happened that you started racing. I don't know you came to see them earlier. You know me, I remember the faces of beautiful girls."
"Yeah, be careful, or I'll believe you. You probably hit a similar text on each one," 'he laughed. "I appeared at the races for the first time in April."
"Are you telling me you learned to drive so well in such a short time?" she nodded. "Ooh la la, this amateur has beaten me, ah ..." He grabbed his head theatrically. He wanted to add something else, but the waiter came with their order.
"I know very well that you gave me a head start at the beginning."
"Okay, but in the end, I really couldn't pass you. What a failure ... Say, at least you've had a license for a year, plisss" he folded his hands in a pleading gesture.
"Then maybe, I'll keep it quiet," she laughed.
"Seriously, since when have you got them?"
"From April."
The boy narrowed his eyes and watched her.
"You don't lie?" He raised one eyebrow up.
"I swear I've had a license since April, and I raced for the first time in May." She put one hand up and the other over her heart.
Olszański sighed loudly and began to eat.
"But when I was little, my father taught me how to drive a car. So it's not like I got behind the wheel for the first time months ago."
"What car did he teach you on?"
"In the polonaise. It was fun to enter the turns sideways."
Karol choked.
"Knock?" he shook his head and drank a Coke.
"Side... ways?"
"Well, then we moved to Lancer. It was the one that I drove the most. When my father found out he was sick, he sold both cars and bought my mother a new Ibiza. Mom somehow never paid attention to the data in the ID and always thought it was a fairly slow car. Anyway, I've never seen her go more than 80 km / h" they laughed. "She did not allow my dad to set up a special registration for her." The boy raised his eyebrows questioningly. "Dad considered the cars family members and gave them names. Pola, Ewa and Iza."
Karol burst out laughing uncontrollably. After a long moment he said:
"Sorry," he wiped away at his tears. "Pola, Ewa and Iza ... You had a wonderful father. What other dad would teach his little princess to drift? she shrugged." Don't worry about the last two failures. I'm really looking forward to the day you beat my brother.
"Didn't your fantasy take you too much?"
"Not at all. First of all, your father already saw your potential in you, secondly, after defeating me, you have the right to challenge Robert, and he shouldn't refuse. Its principle is that it challenges those who had a chance to beat me, and you did. You probably should have some more wins, but it's only a matter of time."
"Don't be kidding, it was pure coincidence to beat you."
"I know mine." All right, he rubbed his hands together. "Let's get this done," he pointed to the pizza. Because it will cool down to the end.
