When we arrive at the track Lando sprints out of the car to open the door for me. "You know I can open my own door, right?" I say while looking at him with a big smile on my face. I kind of like it though.

"I know, I just like opening the door for you" he says while grabbing my hand. His assistant Charlotte is already waiting for us behind the security. "Ready for today?" she asks Lando. When Lando nods she continues, she names all kinds of names of people Lando has to do an interview with, I don't know any of them.

"Yup, i'm walking Mia to my trailer and then i'm ready" Lando says. I look around to see if I see Kelly anywhere. "She's coming later, we're very early" Lando says when he sees me looking, "I have a television in my room so maybe you can watch some Netflix."

"I'll enjoy myself, don't worry" I say when we arrive at his trailer. It isn't big, but it's perfect. It has a couch and a televison, basically everything I need. "I'll be back soon" Lando says. He pushes his lips on mine. I notice Charlotte is waiting for him so I quickly push him away. "Go do you interviews you idiot" I joke.

"My last one is in front of my trailer, so you can watch" he says while wiggeling his eyebrows. I shake my head. "Oh come on, I know you like to watch me" Lando continues. I feel my cheeks burn up instantly. Charlotte sighs extra loud and drags him away. I spent the time watching Netflix. After watching multiple episodes of Friends I turn the tv off. I grab Lando's headphones and start listening to music.

Finally I arrive at my final interview. It's some sort of group interview where we have to play a game. Pierre, George and Charles are already seated. Well there goes my chance to say hi to Mia real quick. I look towards the trailer, and see through the window she's dancing with my headphones on. Natalie, the interviewer, is already waiting. She quickly explains what we are doing. I can't help myself and look backwards at my trailer a few times. "So, you guys ready?" Natalie asks. I nod. During the game I suddenly hear someone singing, really loud. Oh no.

"Oooh, we called it off again last night" Mia sings. Oh no, not Taylor Swift.

"What is that?" George asks, looking around. Charles looks at my trailer and burst out laughing when he realizes it's Mia. The other guys seem to notice it too.

"Maybe you should asks your girlfriend to be quiet" Charles says to me jokingly.

"On it" I say as i jump of the chair.

When I open the door Mia is jumping around, singing on the top of her lungs. "Mia!" I almost yell and she still doesn't hear me.

I watch her for a moment and realize this is too fun. I spin her around, she looks frightend for a moment, but then starts dancing with me.

"We are never ever ever getting back together" I scream with her.

"You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me. But we are never ever ever ever getting back together" she sings. She twirls around a couple times and suddenly stops when she sees Charles standing in the door opening with a camera man behind him. She looks at me with a look I can't quit read. It's a mixture of surprise, anger and shock. She slowly takes of her headphones. Charles and the camera man go back to the interview.

"Yeah, I came in here trying to tell you we can hear you singing outside. We were kind of in the middle of a interview" I say, trying to hold back my laughter.

"Lando!" Pierre shouts.

"Yeah, coming" I say while walking towards the door. I look back at Mia, who now just looks angry. "Try to sing a little quieter" I say while giving her a wink. Which i'm not sure was very smart, because she quickly shuts the door behind me. I walk over to my seat and sit down.

"Well, that was cute" Natalie says, "should we continue?"

"Yes please" George says.

Lando and I quickly eat lunch together. He walks back with me to his trailer to quickly change. I decide to stay in his trailer to watch the race. About half an hour before the race starts there's a knock at the door. I take a peek out of the window and see Kelly standing there. I quickly open the door. "I was wondering if you were coming" I joke when she sits down on the couch. "Yeah, sorry. I was calling my baby" she says. When she sees my confused face she clarifys that she was calling her daughter. Fuck, why do I always forget that.

We watch the race together. Lando ends up in fourth place and Max second. As soon as the race is done we walk towards the podium ceremony to watch Max. "So, I heard you are going to Lando's house this week?" Kelly asks when the podium ceremony is over. "Yeah, I think we are flying there tonight or tomorrow." I feel slightly embarresed that I find flying so normal all of a sudden. I don't even know when we leave exactly.

"You are going to have so much fun."

"What are your plans?" I ask.

"We're flying back to Monaco tonight. Max is quite busy this week, so i'm visiting my parents" Kelly says.

"That sounds fun." As we walk I realize i have no idea where we are going. We turn a corner and the full Red-Bull team is standing there. "What is going on here?" I ask.

"Photo moment" Kelly says. Max walks over when he sees us. "Come, you guys are going on the picture too" Max says. Kelly is already standing next to someone, ready to be photographed. I look down at my shirt, i'm wearing a McLaren shirt. Max sees me looking down. He makes a gesture with his hand to someone. A few seconds later a guy walks up and hands me a Red Bull t-shirt.

"Oh my gosh. Do I really have to?" I ask to Max

"Come on, hurry" Max says while taking the shirt from me. With a little force he pulls the shirt over my head. I wiggle my arms through. Max softly pushes me in the middle of two guys.

"Hi" I say akwardly. I look at the photographer and the people watching. Suddenly I see Lando. He's leaning against the fence, watching me. Oh shit, is he mad that i'm wearing this shirt? When I see a grin on his face I stop worrying. Wait, why is he grinning? The photographer counts down. Before I realize what is happening i'm completely soaked in Red Bull. Everyone threw their redbull drinks in the air. Everything is sticky. I look over at Lando who is laughing. He laughs even harder when he sees the look on my face. Oh dick, he problably knew this as going to happen. That's why he was grinning. Max looks over at me. When he sees i'm soaked a smile appears on his face. I walk over at Lando.

"You knew this was going to happen" I say while softly slapping him on his stomach. I lean against the fence, watching all the guys celebrating Max his second place.

"Well, that's what you get when you're wearing this shirt" he says jokingly as he puts his arm around me.

"I think I will keep wearing it actually."

"Oh really?" Lando looks at me with a grin on his face.

"It's very comfortable" I joke while giving Lando a kiss on his cheek.
