AutumnDR3 II Daniel Riccardo

Prologue

I walk into the Hotel room after dinner like I do after almost every single qualifying. I close the door before throwing my clothes off walking to my suitcase. I pull on a pair of black sweatpants and my favorite hoodie. I sigh lying down on the bed. I pick up my phone and answer a few messages ranging from people like my best friend, Max, to my mom. I look through all my social media's finally going onto Tiktok. I start swiping through videos mindlessly scrolling. I stop at this one video about a rookies sister and an F1 driver. It started flashing pictures of a girl and Daniel and a couple that I assumed was supposed to be Daniel and the character. Something prompted me to check out the Tiktok profile. It was filled with Danny. They had a link in their bio taking you to a Wattpad page. I followed it and saw a bunch of Daniel Riccardo fanfictions, I'm used to reading one's about me but after that terrible mess of a qualifying maybe I needed a change. I decided to read the one for the video I saw. I got up and turned off the big light leaving the bedside lamp on. I grabbed a bottle of water before getting back into the bed.

Chapter One:

I always hated my parents but somehow their death changed me.

Jesus. That's one way to start a book.

"I can't believe I'm finally a Riccardo" I say smiling up at the man I just married.

"I can't believe I'm lucky enough to call you my wife" He says bending down to kiss me. Cheers are heard from all across the Yard. I can't believe this is my life, that this is man is mine. And in seven months he'll be the father of my children.

I turn off my phone putting it back on Charge, before lying down. I sigh out. Even Daniel in a fanfiction is better off than I am. I look at the curtains and how the sun is shining through them. I turn over needing sleep. My alarm blares next to me. I let out a grunt fuck sakes. I stand up going to the bathroom getting ready for race day.

I walk into the McLaren catering area. Ordering a coffee, the strongest one they can give me. I go and sit down in the corner and drink my coffee. Scrolling through mine and my ex girlfriends chats. I didn't understand why she broke up with me especially out of the blue. I just needed to find a way to get over her. I hear his voice calling out to me before I see him.

"Landooooooo!!!" He says walking away from the counter a coffee in his hand. He comes and sits next to me.

"What's up man?" He asks. I look at him and I can't forget the fanfiction I read of his last night. How did she describe him? He was like coffee ice-cream on a sunny day.

"Yeah man I'm good just tired" I give him a weak smile.

"Did you get any sleep last night?" He asks. I shake my head at him.

"Lando, I know the break up has been hard but you need sleep. She's not worth it." He tells me.

"That's not the reason I was awake all night" I say.

"Shit have the nightmare's reappeared?" He asks concerned.

"N-no I just got caught up in a story last night" God that's embarrassing to admit.

"Another one?"

I sigh. "Yep. Although it wasn't about me"

"Then who?" I look at him. "Me!?" He questions. I nod.

"Aww does Lando have a crush on me?" He jokes.

"No I don't have crush on you. Just this video popped up on Tiktok and I went down the rabbit hole" I explain.

"Was it at least good?"

"Honestly, The greatest I've ever read. If she stopped writing about you she would have one hell of a future ahead of her. She's like modern day Shakespeare"

"That's one hell of a compliment"

"She's one Hell of a writer"

"You are making me want to read this story man"

"If you want I can give it to you"

"Reading fanfictions about yourself is a Lando thing. I'm good"

"You sure it's super good"

"If I say yes will you shut up about it?" He asks.

"Maybe"

"Okay then yeah, give it to me"

"Give me your phone and I'll get it set up for you"

He gives me his phone and I immediately download Wattpad and start setting up and account for him.

"What should I make your Username?" I ask

"Daniel Riccardo like everything"

"Bro you've gotta be sneaky about it" I say a username immediately coming to mind. I type it.

"What did you make it?"

"DannysHoe"

"What the fuck?"

"I promise you this way they think your just another fan"

"Okay if you say so" I add all her stories to his library and get him to follow me. Before explaining everything to him.

"I like that you can comment on stories. It's interesting."

"Yeah just don't correct the Author if they get something wrong about you"

"Gotta appreciate the fans" He say's

"Exactly"
