"When you said you were going to make it up to me for leaving me at the airport, I didn't think you would make me jump to my death," Daniella complained, nervousness evident in her voice. The door to the plane was open and the wind was hitting her hard.

"Just relax," Lewis chuckled, trying to assure his teammate. He put on all of his safety gear before checking on Daniella. "You will enjoy it, I promise."

Lewis thought it would be a good idea to take her skydiving. This is not the first time he is going to skydive in Abu Dhabi, he has done it plenty but this time he wanted to share the moment with his teammate and give her a new experience.

"Just so you know, I already texted everyone that you dragged me here," She looked at Lewis as he buckled up her parachute properly. "And I mean everyone. If I don't make it to dinner tonight Yuki will surely take revenge on my behalf. And Max... well, you know what he is going to do. And my dad is arriving tomorrow, and I am his favorite daughter so..."

"You will be fine," Lewis assured her again, his hands on her shoulders, giving a gentle squeeze. "Once you jump you will realize there is nothing to fear," He gave a soft smile.

"Easy for you to say," Daniella argued. "You are scared about nothing."

"That's not exactly true," Lewis pointed a finger at her. "But it's not the time to discuss that. Now, you want to jump wearing a helmet or without it?"

"In case you haven't figured it out, I don't have a death wish," Daniella picked up the helmet and put it on.

Lewis didn't bother to put on a helmet. He is not even half as worried or nervous as his teammate.

Daniella gulped as she very cautiously looked out of the plane and slowly traveled her eyes down. The view was beautiful but it was hard to enjoy it when her heart was beating so fast.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Lewis joined her.

The younger driver just nodded, unable to form a word.

"I will jump with you, okay?" Lewis once again checked both of their gears.

Daniella gave a nervous smile as she took a step back.

Soon both were informed that they have reached the required height and that now it is time to jump. The drivers stood at the edge of the open door, Daniella facing Lewis.

Both put on their goggles to protect their eyes.

Daniella was slightly taken aback when Lewis was handed a selfie stick with a GoPro attached to it.

"What is that for?" She asked, sounding confused.

"To film the entire experience," Lewis replied before putting his arms around her.

Daniella immediately did the same and held onto him tightly as they were about to jump.

"Hey," Lewis said, making her look at him. "It's going to be fun," He gave a smile followed by a wink.

Before Daniella could reply her teammate jumped, taking her with him.

Lewis almost wished he was not holding Daniella because of the scream she let out. But soon the scream vanished and was replaced by the sound of excitement.

"It's so fancy," Daniella commented as she and Max arrived at the restaurant. Lewis has arranged a dinner and invited all the drivers to celebrate Sebastian's career and his retirement.

The couple was led to the private room by a waitress where half of the drivers were already sitting and having a conversation.

"So today you choose to be on time?" Lando asked in an annoyed tone once he saw the couple.

"Ah Ha! Pay up," Daniel extended his hand as Lando pulled out his wallet.

"I am so confused right now," Daniella expressed.

Max looked confused as well.

"Since Dani arrives late pretty much all the time, Lando decided to bet on it," Daniel explained with a bright victorious smile. "I had faith in you, Michaels," He proudly looked at Daniella.

"It's a dinner for Seb, you really thought she was going to be late for it?" Max mockingly asked Lando before kissing his girlfriend's cheek.

"Shut up," Lando pouted like a child, not happy to lose the bet.

***

Daniella sat between Max and Esteban, and in front of Sebastian and Lewis. Everyone was halfway through their dinner, mostly talking to the older Aston Martin driver or listening to him telling stories.

"So how was your first time skydiving?" Sebastian asked Daniella.

"It was so fun," Daniella's face lit up. "I am going to do it again after this Sunday."

"Did it start being fun before or after you screamed my ears off when we jumped?" Lewis sarcastically asked. He can still feel his ears ringing even hours after.

"After..." Daniella sheepishly replied.

"You should take Max with you next time," Sebastian suggested, a mischievous smile on his face.

"No no no," Max immediately replied, trying not to sound scared. "Skydiving is not for me."

"Dani thought the same and now she loves it."

***

"I heard your girlfriend went on a date with Lewis," Pierre teased Max as they all finished taking photos as a group and with Sebastian. The drivers scattered up and were having their own personal conversations or were still having a photoshoot session.

"I won't call skydiving a date," Max replied, clearly sounding unamused.

"But aren't you a little bit jealous?" Pierre smirked.

"Jealous about what?" Daniella joined. She put her arm around Max and looked at him and then at Pierre.

Pierre shook his head at Max when Daniella's eyes moved away from him, silently begging him not to tell her what they were talking about. But he should have known Max better.

"He thinks you went on a date with Lewis," Max explained. "And wants to know if I am jealous."

"Of course he does," Daniella looked back at Pierre, giving him a fake sweet smile. "After all, he is dating a teenager now. Those high school immature mentality is rubbing on him," She took a jab at his recent fling who is only nineteen years old.

Pierre was taken aback by Daniella's comment and didn't know how to respond.

"She is...she is not in high school," He tried to defend himself. "And why can't you be nice to me?"

"You really want me to answer that?"

"No.." Pierre shook his head and walked away. He already knows the answer and has realized that no matter what he does Daniella is never going to forgive him.

"Was I too rude?" The Mercedes driver looked at her boyfriend.

"Just the right amount," Max smiled before pulling her closer.

**********

A/N: I honestly don't know what to write anymore in this story.

Anyway, thoughts on this chapter? Lewis took Dani skydiving and then the drivers dinner.

Do you think Dani was too rude to Pierre?

Thoughts on Dani and Lewis?

Does anyone feel like Max and Dani are toxic or were toxic at the early stage? Cause I feel that sometimes.

Is there anything you guys want to know about the story or about Daniella since the story is coming to an end? Dani's relationship/friendship with another driver or someone famous, or any headcanons you have in mind?
