Dutch grand prix was another success for RedBull with Max winning the race and Daniella finishing second. The battle for championship was becoming very intense, only a couple of points of difference among Daniella, Max and Lewis. The seven time world champion was giving his all and not backing out but so are the golden boy and girl of RedBull. Before the start of the season Daniella was only hoping and determined to have a good season and maybe finish in the top 5, but now her aim has changed to end the season as the champion and she along with a lot of people believe it possible to achieve.

The team thought it would be nice and refreshing to have a team dinner with some few special guests and sponsors after the successful weekend. Daniella who just wanted to relax with her boyfriend was strictly asked by Christian to attend the dinner party.

“When will you be back?” Lando asked as he sat on the bed and his eyes following Daniella who is getting ready. She decided to wear a dark blue dress to match the team color.

“I don’t know. Christian is not going to let me leave early but I will try my best,” she put on the dress came towards Lando. “Can you zip me up?”

He nodded and move her hair to the front before pulling up the zip.

“You look beautiful.”

“Kiss me before I apply my lipstick.”

Lando smiled as he swiftly pulled her on his lap making her gasp in surprise before pressing his lips on hers.

Daniella smiled as the kiss got deeper and his hands moved to her back and waist before rolling over and pressing her on the bed.

Before they could get any further Daniella’s phone started ringing making them both pull away.

“Its Max,” she looked at the caller ID before answering the call.

“If you are not going then me and Kelly are also not going,” Max said, annoyed that his teammate is not at the hotel lobby where they were supposed to meet up, but also part of him hoping that she would cancel so that it will be easier for him to not go as well and instead go on a date with his girlfriend.

“I will be down in five minutes,” she quickly got off the bed and rushed to finish the rest of the makeup.

“Damn it!” Max cut the call.

“Don’t wait up,” she pecked Lando’s lios before running out of the room.

Lando huffed and laid back on the bed. He is sure that without his girlfriend he would be bored out of his mind the entire night unless he joins his teammate for dinner or join Carlos and his girlfriend for dinner.

He decided to join Daniel and Michael and even invited Jon, and not ruin Carlos' date night.

“I hate this,” Daniella and Max said at the same time. There are too many people to their liking and for the past hours both have been going around following Christian who were introducing them proudly to the sponsors.

“My face hurts from all the fake smiling,” Daniella complained.

“Oh god! He is looking for us again,” Max panicked. Christian was once again looking for his two drivers.

Both drivers quickly turned to the opposite direction, pretending they didn’t see the team principal.

“Go spend some time with Kelly,” Daniella pushed Max towards his girlfriend. “She has been sitting there alone and bored since we arrived.” He nodded and quickly went over to the table.

Daniella spotted Nate and Myra, both having a deep conversation. She decided to join them, but noticed they were holding hands under the table. She smiled as she understood what was going on a decided not to interrupt them.

Instead she thought it would be a good idea to go out and get some air.

Lando chuckled as he read Daniella’s text. She was complaining about Christian and the party.

“Does little Lando have a girl?” Daniel asked for across the table.

He quickly put away his phone and his face turned red. Jon beside him was pretending he doesn’t know anything.

“I will take that as a yes,” Daniel laugh. “So who is she?”

“Umm…you don’t know her,” he replied.

“Did you two actually meet or is this an online thing?” Daniel enquired, funding the topic and Lando’s reaction amusing.

“Its not an online thing,” Lando replied. “We have know each other for years now.”

“Wait…is it Da…”

“Foods here,” Jon announced as the waiters put down the plates.

“I am starving,” Lando tried to escape the discussion as he stuff his mouth with food.

Daniel smirked.

“Aren’t you cold?” Pierre asked as he approached Daniella who was just looking at the clear sky.

“Nah,” she smiled. “Besides I will go back in a few minutes.”

He nodded and stood next to her. “You look beautiful this evening.”

“You look good too,” she replied politely.

“Actually I have been meaning to talk to you for a few days,” Pierre started, gaining Daniella’s full attention. “You know I regret how things ended between us and I still like you a lot…”

“Pierre,” she interrupted. “I am seeing someone else.”

“Oh..Is it serious?” disappointment was visible on his face.

“It is,” she nodded.

“But when we ended things you said racing was your priority and you can’t afford to be distracted with anything else.” Pierre is finding it hard to believe that she is actually with someone.

“Racing is still my priority but so is he now,” she gave a small smile.

He nodded, trying to come with terms that he had his chance and blew it away.

“Do I know him?” he asked, wanting to know who the guy is. “Is he a driver too? Cause drivers have a tendency to….”

“Dani!” Max called out. “Come inside. Christian wants us to give a speech.”

“What speech?”

“Do I look like I know what the hell is going on this evening?”

***

As soon as Daniella entered her hotel room she took off her heels and threw it to the side. Her foot is aching and she is feeling tired.

Lando was sleeping peacefully on his side of the bed.

She quickly changed out of her dress, freshened up and put on one of Lando’s tshirt before hopping on the bed.

The slight movements made Lando opened his eyes a little. As Daniella switched off the bed side light and laid down, he wrapped his arm around her.

“I think Daniel is on to us,” he muttered before again closing his eyes.

She let out a deep breath. It will be hard for them to hide their relationship for much longer.

“We will talk in the morning,” she kissed his forehead before closing her eyes.

**********

A/N: Lando is a priority for Dani...along with racing.

Also what do you think about Dani and Max' relationship? I feel like they have a sibling sort of relation.

Pierre wants Dani back but there is no way she will leave Lando for him..right?

And lastly, I don't want to add any major drama in this book but I also feel like without drama this book will be a little blend.

Let me know what you guys think :)
