FAST AND FUTURE - George Russell

15

Daniella sighed as she got out of the car and fixed her dress. Charles called her and complained how they haven't hung out recently and invited her to the club. She tried to get out of it but he didn't give her a way out, in fact, he almost pretended to cry to make her agree and he was proud of it.

"I thought you said you don't have any plans for the weekend," George approached her outside the club who is also invited by Charles.

"I didn't," Daniella replied. "But our dear friend emotionally blackmailed me so here I am."

George let out a laugh as they both walked inside and the loud music blasted in their ears. He has checked on her a few times over the past few days to see how she is doing after the crash with Pierre at the last race and was the one to convince her to come to the club no matter what so that it will refresh her mind a little bit.

"Let's go find Charles," George said to his teammate as they both looked around.

"He is probably at the bar...or at the dance floor," Daniella replied as they walked through the crowd and towards the bar.

Charles who was dancing horribly on the dance floor noticed his friends and came running.

"You two came," he excitedly said as he hugged the Mercedes drivers. "I am so happy."

"He is already drunk," Daniella said to George who chuckled.

"He was drunk even before I got here," Pierre joined the group. "You can blame Daniel for that."

Charles proudly smiled, trying to stand straight. "He dared me that I can't get drunk within half an hour...I proved him wrong."

Daniella shared a look with Pierre and George as Charles started dancing to the music.

"That's impressive Charles, I am proud of you," Daniella said earning a laugh from her friends.

"Come on, let's go find Daniel," Charles encouraged his friends. "Max is also here somewhere..Oh Lando is also here..."

Daniella's smile faded and Pierre and George didn't fail to notice it.

"You guys go ahead, I will go and get myself a drink first," she politely said.

"I will go with you," Pierre smiled.

"Come on George," Charles didn't give him a chance to reply and pulled him away. He turned to give a quick thumbs up to Pierre before getting lost in the crowd to find his friends.

"How are you?...I mean that crash was pretty nasty," Daniella asked Pierre as they waited for their drinks.

"I should ask you that," Pierre chuckled as he leaned at the bar. "You are the one who had to go to the hospital."

"It was not my first time and I am sure it's not going to be the last one," Daniella smiled as she picked up her drink and took a sip. Pierre also did the same.

Both drivers stood there and talked for a while. Daniella had a smile on her face the entire time but it vanished as soon as her eyes fell on Lando who was dancing with some girl. It was not jealousy that she felt but sadness and anger about how he broke her heart.

"Is everything okay?" Pierre looked concerned.

"Yeah umm...I am fine," she faked smiled, trying to assure him.

"Come on, let's dance," George approached the due and gently hold Daniella's arm.

"I am really not in the mood..."

"I am bored and your mood will be better so come on," George insisted as dragged Daniella to the dance floor, leaving Pierre behind who looked amused with the interaction, once again another driver stole her away from him.

George pulled Daniella closer and put his arm on her waist as they both started to dance, trying to match the music rhythm.

Lando was not far away and had a clear view of the Mercedes duo.

"It's been a minute and my mood is not better," Daniella sarcastically said making George roll his eyes. "Seriously George, I think you would enjoy more if you had asked anyone else other than me to dance with you."

"See, that's what I was working on for the last few minutes but your ex boyfriend stole her and is now dancing with her," George replied.

"And now you are using me to get back at him?" Daniella scoffed as he looked directly at her teammate.

"You are correct," he twirled her around and pulled her even more close, a smirk was plastered on his face.

Daniella gasped at the sudden movement and had to put her hand on his chest to prevent herself from falling onto him.

Lando was fuming in anger and jealousy and was paying no attention to the girl he was dancing with, instead, his eyes were glaring at the duo.

"And I gotta say, I was right, it's the perfect revenge," George smiled at his teammate. "He looks pissed."

"Good," Daniella smirked, not bothering to turn and look at her ex.

George gave Daniella a satisfactory smile as they continue dancing, forgetting about Lando's glaring pair of eyes on them.

Daniella smiled, feeling a little better. George was right, her mood did get better.
