Shakedown is an F1 term meaning,
"A brief test is when a team is trying a different car part for the first time before going back out to drive at 100 percent to set a fast time."
This story is filled with the twist and turns of when we risk it all a...
Despite my nerves, the first shoot went on smoothly; Kelly helped calm me down, and the filming went on smoothly. When we finished, we had some time to kill before the second shoot, so we decided to have some coffee at Café de Paris.
"So," she started to speak, "are you going to clear the rumours, or should I bombard you with questions?
I took a suspenseful sip of tea and then said, "what do you mean?"
"Are you kidding me?" She asked
I laughed and said, "of course I am."
"Okay," she said, "now spill!"
"To answer the first question," I started to say, "yes, Lewis and I are together."
She cheered and said, "I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you, Kelly," I said, "where did you hear about it?"
"It's Lewis Hamilton," she explained, "his news travels fast. I just hoped it was you and not some other model."
"Says the girl who couldn't find out who he was from the name Lew," I said, and we both laughed.
"But how's the relationship going?" She asked.
I told her about a lot of what happened, from our run-in at my house to his New Year's party and the surprise party I threw him.
"Wow, can you be my girlfriend?" She asks kiddingly.
"I think Max would officially hate me," I giggled.
She laughed and said, "I'm just glad you finally have someone treating you better than Brad. Where is he, by the way?"
"Well, I saw him a few days ago," I said.
"Really?" She asked, "how did that go?"
I told her everything that happened that day, including that he left me for someone who didn't stay with him for long.
"Woah," she expressed, "I'm surprised he didn't beg for you back."
I laughed and said, "I don't think he can put his ego aside for that."
"Well," she said, "let's just cheer to this new relationship!"
"Cheers!" I said back.
When we finished, it was already time to go to the second location, so the driver took us there, Monte Carlos Casino. The place yells out glamour; the entrance was filled with expensive cars and a bit of paparazzi.
"This place is so lavish," I said.
"You should see it during race weekend," Kelly replied.

The driver pulled up to the entrance, and the valet opened the car doors for us. The paparazzi took a few pictures, but we managed to get inside without a lot of trouble. Susan was by the lobby waiting for us and took us right to the makeup artists and stylist.
While getting ready, Lewis called me to tell me he wouldn't be able to come to the casino tonight cause he had a business call from Tommy Hilfiger. I understood and convinced the directors to let him come tomorrow. Kelly helped by convincing Max to come.
The shoot started in a Deluxe room and the balcony to some short scenes in the casino and bar. It took us a while compared to the first shoot, but it was more fun. We both felt glamorous and fabulous; it is honestly a feeling I'll carry forever.
When we wrapped up at the casino and bar, we went back into the lobby to go up and change.
"Y/n!" I heard someone yell my name, I turned around, and it was Brad.
"Brad?" I asked, confused.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine, and you? I replied, still confused.
"I'm good, thanks," he said, "what a nice coincidence."
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"We were sent to do a little documentary about some circuits in F1," he explained, "I was sent here."
"Ohh, okay."
"What about you?" He asked.
"I have a shoot," I replied, "still doing it."
"That good," he said "you look amazing."
"Hey, we need to go to the room for some more pictures," Kelly approached me and said.
"Alright, let's go," I said, "bye, Brad."
"Bye," he said, but by the time he said it, I was already far and hardly heard him.
"Thank you for the rescue," I whispered to Kelly.
"Anytime," she whispered back.
When we got to the room, we took the pictures the photographer needed and then started getting ready to leave.
"That was fun," Kelly admitted.
"It was," I agreed, "I can't wait till tomorrow."
"Yachts, here we come," she cheered.
We all went to our homes and hotels. I was immediately greeted by a nice long hug from Lewis when I arrived.
"I can get used to coming back how to this," I said, then kissed him.
"I'll always be here for that," he replied.
"Thank you, babe," I responded.
I went to the bedroom, organized my things, took off my makeup, and had a nice shower. When I was done, I went back and joined him in the living room.
"So, how was it?" He asked.
"It was amazing," I started to say, "The first location was going beautiful, and the filming when well! Kelly was a lot of fun to film and shoot with; everything went well."
"I'm glad," he said and kissed my forehead.
"But, something weird happened in the casino," I mentioned.
"What happened?" He asked.
"When we were leaving the casino and going back to the room to shoot," I explained, "I heard someone yell my name, and when I turned around, it was Brad."
"What? Really?" He asked, confused, "what's he doing here?"
"I was just as confused," I replied, "he said he's here for some documentary about F1 circuits."
"Yeah, they do that at around this time," he said, "did he bother you?"
"No," I said, "Kelly saved me very fast."
"I'll have to thank her," he admitted, "two sightings in last then a week. Guess I have to go everywhere with you now."
I cuddled up to him and said, "now that's something I wouldn't mind at all!"
"Awesome, where will the shoot be tomorrow?" He asked.
"It'll be in a yacht," I answered, "Max will be there, and after, we'll have lunch and jet ski."
"That sounds fun," he said, "can't wait."
We spent the rest of the evening watching tv, and he gave me an exclusive look at his new up and coming clothing line with Tommy Hilfiger.
"At least I know that we'll be in the same industry if you ever stop racing," I said.
