James

Attending the pre-race dinner seemed like fun on paper, but I’d done too many over the years. Still, I had to go. Keith, Ray, Nick, and Other James always looked forward to it. Free food, free booze. Ray and Keith got to take their wives out, and Nick and Other James got to try to pick up grid girls. I wasn’t relishing it, this time especially, because of my fling with Suzi. She would expect to hook up again, which, I’ll admit, I was not opposed to, but if we didn’t, she would not sit quietly if I tried to connect with one of her contemporaries. There would be drama, and I loathed drama. Which was exactly why I stayed single.

First of all, I hadn’t yet found Ms. Right. Secondly, Ms. Right Now was likely to cause trouble when she realized I was not going to settle down with her. I rarely went on second dates. It was always a one-night thing with me, and I made sure all parties were agreed on that point up front. I was not trying to get out of a commitment; I simply didn’t want a commitment at all. As long as she understood that, we’d be fine. Obviously, this didn’t mean I wouldn’t sleep with the same girl twice. It just meant we both had to understand it was never going to lead to a relationship.

I could tell Suzi was looking for something more from me. Her eagerness to stay in my room and the affectionate way she greeted me at the circuit when she returned my Maserati all pointed to her envisioning a relationship in our future, despite our agreement. No, tonight was going to be a little awkward.

Anyway, we had all worn our best monkey suits. Ray’s looked like it was from the seventies, with its huge ruffled shirt and big collar. He used to have a decent one, but that one had earned its place in history when covered in red wine by former World Champion Nicky Hayden at last season’s Portuguese Grand Prix. Nicky had been apologetic and immediately had another DJ sent to Ray; this monstrosity had been in the box. Even Ray found it funny, which was rare for our taciturn technician. I’d been meaning to take him out to get a new one, but we just hadn’t had the time. I think he secretly rather liked the thing.

I arrived to find my team enjoying themselves. Keith and Ray were in deep conversation about English soccer while their wives, Diane and Sharon, laughed and whispered together. I didn’t see their two assistants immediately, which meant they were either at the bar or trying to hook up already. The four at our table let out a big cheer as I walked up to greet them. The lovely wives really had pulled out all the stops in getting dressed up tonight. I complimented Sharon’s daring green dress and Diane’s sparkling diamond earrings, then looked around for Suzi.
