Months after we came to the last race in Abu Dhabi. I had scored a job as Max and Sergio's stragety engineer. Redbull wanted me to stay in the family and I decided it was best for Lando and I.

I was starting in the next season. Lando and I had rounded 9 months officially, we were happy and had found the dreamhouse in Monaco.

I met Max, Lando's old roommate and he got his own room whenever he visited in our house.

The last race finished with my brother becoming the world champion of 2021.

The celebration was wild and hangovers lasted for three days.

Lando and I was back in Monaco, he was currently streaming on twitch as he raced on the simulator with the guys.

I was working at my desk in the same room and I struggled with focusing. I sighed in defeat and got up and left without a word.

Lando looked after me confused, but I ignored him. I was so stressed lately. The back pains got more intense and it left me awake at night.

I cracked my back as I stretched and went to the kitchen to get a water bottle. I hear Lando's shrieking laugh in the office/game room and I sigh.

I stare out at our pool and then I feel arms sneak around my waist and I lean my head back against the rock hard chest I feel against my back.

"What's wrong?" Lando asks and kiss my neck as he hugs me from behind.

"The pains have come back" I admit and Lando stops kissing my neck. "What? Why didn't you tell me, baby?" Lando asks and turn me around.

"I didn't want to worry you, it's just. It's been keeping awake at night I can't get comfortable, that's why I've been a bit grumpy lately" I say and frown.

"I'm sorry, what do we do?" Lando asks softly and cress my cheek.

"I don't know. I don't understand, I kept my workouts at bay and I don't drive anymore, I don't do sport" I say frustratedly.

"Calm down, baby. It's okay" Lando assures me and I sigh.

"Let's get you an appointment for a check up and see what they say" Lando suggests and I nod.

Lando nods and pull me into a hug. "Landoooooooooooooooo are you there?" Charles' thicc accent let me know it was him waiting for Lando.

"Just go back and stream" I say and Lando pecks my lips before running back in. I smile a little and sit on the couch.

Two days later I got an appointment and Lando insisted on coming with me. So here we were, waiting for the doctor, both of us anxious.

"Miss Verstappen?" A voice calls out and we stand up as the doctor approach us. I shake his hand and Lando does as well and we follow him to his room.

"So, I can understand that you've been having back pains?" The doctor says and we sit down. "Yes, a little over a year ago I had a driving accident and earlier this year I had a similiar one" I explain.

"Yes, I wouldn't call it an accident though. My daughter used to watch you race. I know of your history, so let's check your back" He says and my jaw drops, I look at Lando and he can't help but smile.

I lay on the table and pull up my shirt. "Well, the wound healed nicely. It's a pretty scar compared to how it could've looked and it doesn't look irritated, so I will try and put pressure on your back and you tell me where it hurts" He says and I nod.

Lando looks away as he hears me grunt and blurt out there, when I felt pain. He couldn't stand it.

"It seems that your spine has build up some tight knots. It comes with work, everyone gets it, but your spine is more delicate, I will send you to a chiropractor and if nothing changes within two weeks, come back to me and please, give me updates during these two weeks" He says and I nod before I get off the table and pull my shirt down.

"Alright, so, nothing bad? No hospitals? No surgeries?" I ask anxiously and he shakes his head no with a small laugh.

"No, but you do have to relieve some of that stress" he says and Lando stands up. "I got that one" He says and I mentally facepan. Idiot. Idiot. So, so, so inappropriate.

"I'm sure you do" He laughs and I feel myself go red. "Have a good day" I say and hurry out of the office. Lando follows me while laughing.

"He's got humour" Lando says and I glare at him. "You're inappropriate" I say and continue walking.

Lando grabs my shoulder and bring me into his side and I hug him and he attacks my face with kisses. "Stop!" I whine and then laugh.

"See, nothing bad. It's all okay" Lando teased knowing how negative my thoughts were about this visit.

"Yeah, whatever" I say and playfully roll my eyes. "Let's go home and relieve some of that stress, huh?" Lando suggests with a smirk and I chuckle.

"It actually doesn't sound that bad" I say and Lando shakes his head at me before opening my door for me. I thank him and get in before he runs around and get in before driving us home.

"Bedroom calling, doctors orders. Come on" Lando sings as he pulls me into the house. I throw my bag on the couch and laugh as he drags me in our bedroom.

"You're crazy" I say while laughing as Lando is attacking me in kisses. "Crazy in loveeeeee" Lando sings and I pull his shirt over his head and as Lando spin me around and hover over me.

A voice clears.

"Hey guys" My blood runs cold and Lando looks at me in confusion, both of us afraid to turn our heads to the person.

"I guess you forgot I was coming today" Max, Lando's old roommate says and I groan and lay back on our king size bed.

"What a welcome party, thank you very much" He says and Lando gets up and bro hug his old roommate.

I get up as well and hug him tightly.

"I'm so glad I stopped that" Max says and I glare at him. "Doctors orders" Lando and I say in unison and we burst out laughing and kiss.

"Ew, gross, just gross. I'll be in the pool! And if you wonder where your alcohol is, it's with me. In the pool" Max clarifies before leaving.

Lando and I look at each other and in one swift motion, Lando has locked the door I jump him, Lando catch me by my ass and I lock my legs around his hips and he carry us to the bed.

"Gross guys, I'm right out here" Max says from the other side of the door.

"Fuck off" Lando shouts before kissing me and starts to open my button up shirt, he gets impatient and just rip it into two pieces and I gasp.

"Babe" I moan as he starts kissing down my chest.

"Poor Max" I say as Lando slides my panties to the side.

"Don't worry, he will understand when he gets a girlfriend" Lando replies and I moan as his fingers slide inside me.
