It took one and a half hours for us to go back to the hotel. The boys had to get out of their suits, gave interviews and so on. We arrived back at the hotel, getting ready for the Red Bull team party tonight.

The team booked a beautiful restaurant at a lake, just fo the team and the families. I knew that Daniels parents were at the circuit but I haven't had the chance to meet them. I saw Max's dad but also didn't had the chance to talk to him. Since the location was fancy and all the team members talked about wearing dresses and Smokings, I had to find an outfit that works. Since my hair was curled anyways I decided to just pin it up in a loose bun for tonight. I refreshed my make up and even dared to put on a bright red lipstick. I immediately thought about removing it but still chose to wear it. I was unsure about the dress I wanted to wear so I decided to text Blair:
Me: hey Blair do you think I can wear this dress tonight?She texted back just seconds after receiving my message.
Blair: oh definitely girl, make the boys wild.
I had to smile but also blush at her message. I asked her and she showed me her dress, a beautiful dark blue dress with rhinestones all over it.
Me: This girl will be on fire tonight.
I replied to her. We decided to meet in the lobby in 10 minutes, driving together in the same van to the restaurant.
We meet in the lobby, looking at each other with smiles on our faces. " You look hot girl." Blair said to me while inspecting me. "Same for you girl, you look stunning." I replied. We walked out of the hotel and sat down in the van. A few other team members joined us and we drove to the restaurant.
Arriving there I was overwhelmed. It was such a beautiful place, we have the chance to sit outside with a beautiful view over the lake and the inside looked just as wonderful. We all received a glass of champagne and walked back outside. Mr Horner stood in front of us, talking about the race and the perfect results for the team. We raised our glasses and drank our champagne.

It was time to eat so we head inside. Blair and I sat down on a table with two other girls, who turned out to be the PR's from the drivers. They were two sweethearts and I liked them from the beginning. The food was delicious. We had so much to chose from and it was probably the best dinner I've ever had. After desert we decided to sit outside since the weather was still warm and the sunset just around the corner.
After a long conversation with Blair I recognized someone beside me. I looked up and it was Daniel. I stood up and he hugged me again. "I wanted to thank you again, you were the one that told me to not give up and you were the one who made me find my belief in myself again." he said into my neck. I got shivers all over my body because of his words. "I always believed in you and I'm happy I made you believe it too.". I answered, my arms wrapping tighter around him. We stood there for an unknown time and some people might thought it looked weird. We just hugged without saying a word. And then I felt something I've not felt before - this here is meant to be for me, this whole job, the team, the people....Daniel. We let go of each other smiling and Max came out as well. He looked at me and grabbed me, twisting around with me while hugging. I had to giggle because I felt like falling any second. "Max" I screamed but he only laughed.
I saw you hugging Daniel do I have to get jealous now? Are you leaving me behind for him?" Max asks theatrically which made me laugh as well. "No don't worry I love the two of you equally." I respond.

We heard music from the inside and I screamed because I really liked the song. "Come one Boys let's dance." I said while pulling Blair with me inside. As you may see by now, i probably had too many drinks.
We danced together to more than one song, everyone simply celebrated the whole situation. We had more drinks and I felt myself being more than tipsy. But I actually didn't care, I felt like having the time of my live. And you obviously shouldn't take the good time for granted, you'll never know when it's over.

"We can't leave her alone tonight, she's drunk." I hear someone say but couldn't tell who it was. The voices sounded familiar though, so I didn't worry. I don't even know if I'm still at the party or not, but referring to the silence, the party was over.
