I believe in you ~ Lewis Hamilton

Lewis turns up at your workplace...9 years later. You both realise your feelings are unchanged.

Preview ~

Lewis leaned forward, placing his elbow on the desk and resting his head on his palm.

His face had matured; still young and youthful, yet somehow he exerted confidence, charisma, surety.

Your eyes met and neither broke contact first, his big brown orbs staring straight into your own.

"I could get lost in your eyes. For hours on end."

Sau Paulo Grand Prix - 2021:

The silence in the room was deafening. Air thick and heavy, weighing down upon you mercilessly. Lewis sat across from you at your office desk, his eyes glaring intently on your FIA Legal Consultant name plaque. If he stared any longer, it seemed the glass would burn up in flames from such a stare.

Lewis’ legal representative sat beside him, shoulders high and squared as if preparing to fight with you. His appearance was demeaning, shirt buttoned right to the top, his thick neck, plump, red and threatening to burst. Tom Priestley wore a grubby smile on his face - sinister and cold.

So much for cooperation.

You resisted the urge to sink into the ground and call it a day.

Clearing your throat you drew in a long, slow breath.

Stay calm. Stay level-headed. Stay powerful.

“Once again Mr Hamilton, I ask for your cooperation, that’ll make this meeting much easier for both of us.”

Since the moment he’d stepped into your office, Lewis had not looked you in the eye once. His head remained lowered, his gaze finding new objects to focus on. Not that you were surprised. It was your first meeting since that had happened.

He hadn't said a single word either, Priestley interjecting for him wherever possible.

“We see no reason to cooperate with you. In any case, my client, Mr Hamilton, is the victim here.”

If you had a baseball bat handy, Priestley's head would be your first target.

You shot him a glare and you could’ve sworn he jumped a little, before clearing his throat. When Priestley opened his mouth again, his tone was rushed, voice slightly squeaky.

“As we’ve mentioned before, the Mercedes car was always built within regulation. To even dare to insinuate otherwise is an absolute farce of a-”

You cut his pitiful rambling off, keeping your tone stern. Your eyes remained trained on Lewis, seeking some kind of response.

“I have no intention to indict Mr Hamilton, or the team. I am here to clear Mr Hamilton from untruthful claims.” You let your words fall powerfully.

You saw Lewis shift his gaze to you for a fleeting moment, looking away as soon as your eyes made contact. He turned to Priestley. “It’s alright Tom.” You’d never expected his voice to be so… lacking in energy. It was quiet. Uncertain.

You saw the pitiful lawyer’s face fall. He looked shocked, destroyed almost, at being asked to leave, but he rummaged his things together and took off from your office, muttering words of distaste that you didn’t bother deciphering.

Tapping the intercom button on your desk phone you reached for your secretary, “Show Mr Priestley the envelope we prepared for him. I’m sure he’ll opt to wait in the car after seeing the contents.”

It was Lewis’ response that made you shoot your head back in his direction. The first time he’d spoken. Unlike what you’d expected there was no malice in his voice. No long lasting hatred.

“Did you just threaten my lawyer?”

Amusement. A suppressed chuckle lay beneath his words and a flood of relief passed through you.

“Well technically I made a fair deal.” You shrugged your shoulders upwards, allowing a small smile to rest on your face.

9 years on and his presence was still the same; warm. The awkward air had shifted - all from his one sentence. The effect Lewis had, was powerful.

The driver’s shoulders visibly relaxed, he raised an eyebrow, “Is that what you’re going to do with me? Make a deal?”

You shook your head, turning away from your laptop screen to look straight at the driver.

“No. I’m going to get to the bottom of this investigation. I’m on your side Mr Hamilton.”

Lewis leaned forward, placing his elbow on the desk and resting his head on his palm.

He seemed so much closer, so much more in reach. You subconsciously found yourself tilting your head forward, taking a better look at how much he’d changed.

His face had matured; still young and youthful, yet somehow he exerted confidence, charisma, surety.

Your eyes met and neither broke contact first, his big brown orbs staring straight into your own.

I could get lost in your eyes. For hours on end.

They were so welcoming. So friendly. In that moment, you realised just how much you’d missed Lewis.

9 years ago, both rookies in your respected positions. He’d just joined Mercedes and you’d been assigned as his press manager. At his side for every interview, every press conference, every media event; behind the camera where only he could see you.

Before the accusations came thundering down.

You pushed the thought away, blinking and breaking contact with Lewis’ eyes.

Clearing your throat you focused back onto your screen, “I just need you to answer a few questions for me, then you’re free to go.”

“Hmm?” He was unfocused, his gaze still piercing into you, and you felt your cheeks heat up.

“Mr Hamilton. The case.”

“Oh right, yeah, fire away.” He looked like he’d just woken up, off guard.

You gave a curt nod of your head, before taking on the task at hand.

------------------------------------------------------------

30 minutes in and you’d finished a full official statement from Lewis’ perspective on his rear wing meeting FIA standards.

“So, do you think we’ll be penalised?”

Lewis had been lit with a different passion in that crucial half hour, eager to prove himself innocent of breaching race guidelines.

You scanned your documents before looking up to Lewis. His eyes were wide open, eager. Desperate. “I can race right?”

“I can't control the outcome Mr Hamilton.” His face fell, eyes dulling immediately. This really meant the world to him.

“But I promise you, you will be in that race. I will do everything in my power to get you in the Brazilian GP.”

He looked slightly more hopeful, yet sceptical, the doubt dancing across his mind.

“You sure?” His voice seemed to have dropped.

“You will be in that race, or I will quit this job.”

Your statement exuded a deep chuckle from Lewis, the corners of his eyes creasing as he grinned wide. “As dramatic as ever.”

That earned him an eyeroll. Just like it used to be.

The diffused tension was calming, making you reminiscent of old days. The ones you now so eagerly missed. “If I get on that podium, dinner is on me.”

You raised your eyebrows, letting your lips curl into a smirk. “You get first place and I’ll consider the offer.”

Lewis’ eyes shone playfully, his head nodding as he considered your response.

“Damn you really do know how to make these deals.”

There was laughter filling your office - hearty and playful. You still couldn’t believe how much he’d grown into a fine gentleman, from his appearance to his aura. Everything was different yet the same. It made goosebumps rise on your skin, your heart thumping faster than ever.

“Shake on it?”

You offered your arm across the table, and Lewis reached out, taking it. But he didn’t shake your hand, he held onto it, his thumb stroking the back of your palm ever so slightly.

His hand was so big and warm - callused yet gentle. You found yourself trapped in his gaze again, enticed by those chocolate eyes.

Your breath hitched in your throat. You felt your stomach go wild.

His voice was low when he spoke. Raspy, on the edge of a whisper. “I’m so sorry.”

You knew what he was referring to. All those years ago…

…the accusations that Lewis had the power to question. The hatred you’d felt from the glaring eyes of all the Mercedes team. The disappointment in Toto’s eyes. The shame. You’d gotten orders to resign hours later - forced to walk away and never look back.

“I never believed what was said. Not for one second, but I never spoke up.” There was a deeper pain in his voice; remorse.

It all made sense now. He’d been consumed by guilt. He never kept in touch because he blamed himself, burned himself with regret.

Yet it made all the difference to you to learn that he never believed any of itl for a second. Somehow, him knowing it wasn’t true made you forgive him.

You found yourself smiling in reply.

“I wouldn’t be who I am today without what happened.”

“I like who you are now.”

The sentence hit you much harder than you thought it would, palpitations running through your heart. There was a throb in your brain, your hands clammy with sweat.

Lewis seemed surprised at his own sentence, recovering quickly with a sheepish grin. He scratched the back of his head, “I’ve never seen Tom more frightened.”

You snorted at his comment, the tension falling again, and Lewis released your hand, picking up his coat before turning towards the door.

You let him leave, the both of you saying nothing else but departing with small smiles of understanding.

Each footstep of his, echoed loud in your ears - ringing.

He was leaving.

You felt a sudden urge to go after him. To say something more. There was a burn in your heart, pulling you to your feet and you rushed out onto the corridor, heels clicking against the marble.

You caught him at the elevator, and your eyes locked once more. “Lewis,”

Your voice was breathy, a low, soft whisper.

His mouth opened. You’d called him Lewis, not Mr Hamilton - electric shocks went flying through his limbs, his hands tingling. He beamed a wide, toothy grin.

“I believe in you Lewis. I believe you can win.” His eyes lit up with a fire you'd never seen before.

The elevator door slammed shut. And you were left in the corridor, standing alone.

The 9 year old burden had been lifted.

—---------------------------------------------------------

That Friday:

6pm and you were calling it a day. The sun was approaching its farewell, its golden rays painting the city skyline a beautiful yellow.

As you wrapped up in the office your phone buzzed. It was an unknown number.

P1 it is.

Deal is on. Be ready in an hour.

You beamed with joy. I knew you could do it Lewis.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda Reading List:

A full master-list of literature between film and novel of every book Matilda enjoy’s reading. I will be separating these into two-sections. Books I own and don’t own.

I am making this list for two reasons. One: for my own future book shopping reference. Two: for anyone else who would like the same.

Books I own:

Babbit -Sinclair Lewis //

Moby Dick -Herman Melville //

The Wind & The Willows -Ernest Shepherd //

Animal Farm -George Orwell //

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer -Mark Twain //

The Three Musketeers -Alexandre Dumas //

Ivanhoe -Walter Scott //

Lorna Doone -R.D Blamore //

The Secret Garden -Frances H. Burnett //

The Grapes of Wrath -John Steinbeck //

Shakespeare’s Sonnets //

Catcher In The Rye -J.D. Salinger //

The Invisible Man -H.G. Wells //

Tess of the D’Urbervilles -Thomas Hardy //

Jane Eyre -Charlotte Bronte //

Great Expectations, The Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby -Charles Dickens //

Pride and Prejudice -Jane Austen //

As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury -William Faulkner //

The Old Man and the Sea, For Whom the Bell Tolls -Ernest Hemingway //

The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe -C.S. Lewis (I own the entire series of Narnia) //

King Arthur & The Knights Of The Round Table -Howard Pyle

Books I don’t own:

Peter Pan - J.M Barrie

The Red Pony -John Steinbeck

Just So Stories -Rudyard Kipling

Lord Jim -Joseph Conrad

The Good Companions -J.B. Priestley

Gone to Earth -Mary Webb

Kim -Rudyard Kipling

Brighton Rock -Graham Greene

From Here To Eternity -James Jones

Mary Poppins -P.L Travers

In Country Sleep -Dylan Thomas

*notes: I’ve only included literary works I could coherently make out without driving myself too crazy. In the novel, Matilda expresses that A Secret Garden is her favorite book; however, in the film it is Charles Dickens (mispronounced Darls Chickens for legal reasons) who is her first favorite adult author. Her first read adult book is Great Expectations.

Matilda is reading King Arthur when her father storms into her bedroom and begins yelling at her. This is not the only time he yells at her for reading. He also, gets into a nasty dispute over his own daughter’s age as he can’t be bothered to remember when she was born.

This leads to the events when she will meet Mrs. Honey for the first time as her father hopes to send her off to a school operated by an abusive principle.

Mrs. Honey (a teacher) also during the film tells Matilda one of her favorite author’s is Charles Dickens and at one point gifts her with a book called The Wind & The Willows in her biological parent’s home, as an act of solidarity and change that is eluded to. We learn Mrs. Honey is not only a kind person, and a book worm just like Matilda, but a survivor of abuse herself.

Matilda’s very last book read in the film is to her teacher and adoptive mother Mrs. Honey, who eventually takes over the school as the new principle. The book Matilda reads to her new parent is Moby Dick, which is also something her biological father mocked and yelled at her previously for reading.

‘K, so you may or may not know, or have noticed - you may or may not care (and why should you!) that I have a few particular penchants;

Probably the most prominent in my posts - a red hot, handsome ginge gets me every time, whether they rock a full red mane, or a lovely pale skinhead with a gorgeous ginger beard….

A crisp white tailored shirt, or even a white tee does it for me. Don’t ask why, cos I have no idea!

I have an occasional and inexplicable, irrational attraction to some cartoon characters from the 80s & 90s - Lion-O (Thundercats) I’m looking at you as the lead candidate! (Ok, so that one is likely the wild red hair again….)

And following that, blonde boys from the same era; Corey Haim (no longer within us 😞), Mark Paul Gosselaar (aka Zack Morris) and Jason Priestley (Brandon, BH 90210) are 3 examples that come to mind.

But pretty sure I have yet to highlight my twin thing. Two for taking on one, yes please. Doesn’t have to be twins necessarily (I mean it’s not like I would knock back Chris & Liam Hemsworth (sorry Luke… yes, there is another one if you didn’t know) - and who in their right mind would?) or James & Dave Franco (are we still shunning the former, I don’t know anymore! And yes, there is also another Franco fact fans, by the name of Tom). But twins would be the golden ticket (Harrisons, Pletts, Patriota…. um, Jedward, hi, yeah, kinda busy right now, *ahem* can I get back to you?)

So the above pair probably aren’t even related, but are looky likey enough for me and worth a post, post confessional. The fact that one has a lovely boxy pomp and the other has a terrible tall, straight up and unflattering flattop (which instantly makes it, and him, hot as… hair, done brilliantly badly, that would be the bonus round No.6 to the above list! Broccoli heads that means you too, crazy hazes and rookie initiates welcome aboard!) just makes it a pairing worth sharing, for a rowdy round of throuple trouble. After all, three is the magic number!!!

Ronny Cox, Jon Voight, Ned Beatty, and Burt Reynolds in Deliverance (John Boorman, 1972)

Cast: Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Ronny Cox, Ed Ramey, Billy Redden, Seamon Glass, Randall Deal, Bill McKinney, Herbert "Cowboy" Coward, James Dickey. Screenplay: James Dickey, based on his novel. Cinematography: Vilmos Zsigmond. Art direction: Fred Harpman. Film editing: Tom Priestley.

I can see why James Dickey grew so angry at director John Boorman's revisions on his screenplay version of the book. The film never quite decides what it wants to be: an adventure story, an environmental fable, or a story about a clash between cultures. It works best as an adventure story, which is in the nature of film, and somewhat as a clash of cultures. The four suburban hotshots who arrive in the backwoods of northern George for a weekend adventure are from the outset rude and condescending to the people who live there year-round, and of course they get their comeuppance in extreme ways. The irony is that the one man in their company who sympathizes with the locals is the one who fails to survive: Drew (Ronny Cox) brought along a guitar, not the bows and arrows that Ed (Jon Voight) and Lewis (Burt Reynolds) bring with them, and he interacts musically with one of the supposedly "inbred hillbillies" in the celebrated "Dueling Banjos" sequence. Drew is also the only one who tries to hold out for facing justice after Lewis kills one of the mountain men who attack them. Lewis argues that if they stood trial for killing the man, they'd face a jury of the man's peers; Bobby (Ned Beatty) doesn't want the story of his being raped to get out, and Ed passively goes along with them. Better backgrounding on the four adventurers might have given more substance to their characters and their ideas, and the villainous mountain men are monsters out of nightmares rather than actual human beings, so the debate over justice seems a little out of focus. But it's mostly the environmental issue that falls by the way: There's little sympathy shown for the people who face seeing their homes flooded -- one of them even says it's the "best thing that ever happened to this town" -- and almost no feeling for the wilderness that will be sunk beneath the man-made lake. Boorman would later make The Emerald Forest (1985), a more environmentally conscious film also about the construction of a dam, set in the Brazilian rain forest.

The answer to my previous post is below. Christina Aguilera was the most guessed artist but is the wrong answer. I am shocked everyone believes I saw Bootsy Collins - though it is true that I did. Here is the truth: 1) KISS - I saw them in Boston in 1982/83 2) DAVID BOWIE - saw the Serious Moonlight tour in Boston (82? 83?) 3) PRINCE - saw Dirty Mind tour March 17, 1981 at a Boston club - The Metro 4) JUDAS PRIEST- Boston in 82/83 5) BILLY IDOL - my stepdad opened for him in 1982/83 in Boston (The Paradise) but my friend brought a bad fake ID and she was turned away so I left with her - which I regret 6)BAUHAUS - a few times - once at a tiny club called The Underground in maybe 1980/81 and at The Channel - both Boston - maybe once more... 7) PUBLIC IMAGE - 1982-ish - Boston - The Channel (maybe another time, too) 8) TOM WAITS - twice in LA and once in Boston 9) METALLICA - several times in LA - including at The Troubador 10) ELVIS COSTELLO - the one I have seen the most - starting in 1981 or so - Boston, LA, NYC - total? At least 15X 11) CHRISTINA AGUILERA - huge fan - saw her Back to Basics tour in LA 12) LENNY KRAVITZ - in LA 13) BARENAKED LADIES - MASSIVE fan - saw them at least 10x and they even played a private set for a surprise Bday party Jason Priestley threw for me in 1997 14) GARY NUMAN - first live show ever February 23, 1980 at the Harvard Sq. Theater. Saw him at least 2 additional times. 15) BOOTSY COLLINS - Boston in the early 80's at the Channel 16) FRANK SINATRA - in the 90's in Vegas 17) ELLA FITZGERALD - in the 90's at the Hollywood Bowl 18) BETTY CARTER - in the 90's at the Blue Note in Manhattan 19) GO-GO'S - in the 2000's at the Greek Theater in LA 20) PUDDLES PITY PARTY - at least 3x and I count him among my personal friends. https://instagr.am/p/Crgqtm8vsNi/

M I L E S D A V I S - Kind Of Blue - Full Album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDqULFUg6CY So what 00:00 Freddie Freeloader 9:26 Blue In Green 19:13 All Blues 24:51 Flamenco Sketches 36:34 On Green Dolphin Street 45:46 Fran - Dance 55:40 Stella by Starlight 1:01:28 Love for Sale 1:06:14 Kind of Blue is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis. It was recorded on March 2 and April 22, 1959, at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City, and released on August 17 of that year by Columbia Records. For the recording, Davis led a sextet featuring saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, with new band pianist Wynton Kelly appearing on one track – "Freddie Freeloader" – in place of Evans. Influenced in part by Evans, who had joined the ensemble in 1958, Davis departed further from his early hard bop style in favor of greater experimentation with musical modes, as on his previous album Milestones (1958). Basing Kind of Blue entirely on modality, he gave each performer a set of scales that encompassed the parameters of their improvisation and style, and consequently more creative freedom with melodies; Coltrane later expanded on this modal approach in his own solo career. Kind of Blue is regarded by many critics as Davis's masterpiece, the greatest jazz record, and one of the best albums of all time. Its impact on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded. The album was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003 it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2019, Kind of Blue was certified 5× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of at least five million copies.
