Mia Ricciardo, the younger sister of f1 all-star Daniel Ricciardo, secured a surprise job managing the f1 YouTube channel, when her own videos began to get a fast following. She didn't tell her brother until last minute, and for good reason.
Daniel...
Mias POV: I did not ask for a party, nor did I know there was going to be one. But Danny and Lando had things in full swing by the time we'd arrived.
It was all so sudden that I was still shocked, but was happy to see every single driver there. I knew that Pierre was only there for the alcohol, we'd not spoken since the whole fight with Charles, but he'd not pass up free drinks and a night at the club.
Charles took my hand and led me through the club, squeezing a little tighter when we walked past the table that sat Pierre.
I'd had to kick Charles from my hotel room whilst I was getting ready. He was completely flustered over our time on the balcony and had clearly wanted to go again, and I would have not made it on time if I'd given in.
He made sure to let me know I'd regret that.

Lewis stood, open arms like a proud parent, waiting to greet me, pulling me into a comforting hug.
'Thank you, Lewis.' I smiled.
'What for?' He asked, slowly.
'This is all because of you.' I said, referencing the video that I made with him that had completely skyrocketed my subscribers.
'No, this is because of you. They watched for me, they stayed for you.' He said, giving me a squeeze.
That made me feel better. I was proud of myself for sure, but nothing would rid me of the feeling that I was destined for this success because of my brothers fame.
'Shots!' Yuki shouted, snapping me from my thoughts and slamming shot glasses down against the table, turning to the bar to grab more.
'We have a flight tomorrow.' Charles warned me, sitting down in the booth and pulling me down onto his lap.
'I'll be okay.' I shrugged.
'As long as you're not sick on his jet, he's okay.' Pierre interrupted, somewhat spite in his voice.
Danny looked between us both, wondering if he should step in or leave Charles to interpret it the way he wanted to.
'At least I know she's safe from crazy ex boyfriends on my jet.' Charles snapped.
I moved my hand to his thigh and began to rub reassuringly, silently thanking Yuki for the shots and taking a few one after another.
Watching Charles and Pierre argue was the worst. It was like staring at a lit firework, knowing it's about to go off but still flinching when it explodes.
'I'd rather be the crazy ex boyfriend than the desperate new one.' Pierre mumbled.
'Enough.' I said, knowing that if I didn't intervene this wasn't going to be much of a party.
Despite Charles clinging onto my thigh almost for dear life, I got up off of his lap and grabbed Pierre by the arm, walking him outside as if he were a child.
He took a few steps back from me, leaning against the wall with a slight wobble, due to clearly drinking alone before anyone else had arrived.
'I know you're upset about Kika. But you don't need to take that out on everyone else.' I snapped.
'I don't know what the fuck is going on with me and I'm so sorry.' He sighed.
I kept my lips tightly sealed. I wasn't about to take some half assed excuse just to try and shut me up, but I wanted to hear what he had to say before I inevitably called him a lift home.
'Are you sad about Kika?' I asked, slowly.
'I'm sad about you.' He responded, his eyes meeting mine for the first time since we'd been outside.
I broke the stare, holding my arm out for his driver, waiting until the car pulled up besides us before leaning into the window.
'He's had too much to drink. Make sure he gets safely inside of the hotel, thank you.' I smiled, opening the door and signalling for Pierre to get in.
He stared at me emotionless for a few seconds before letting a wide smile spread across his face. Shaking his head at me before climbing into the car without a single fuss.
'You do care about me don't you?' He asked, his arm tracing the seatbelt as he tried to divert his attention.
'I do. Now go and get some sleep.' I smiled, allowing him to squeeze my hand before stepping back and watching the car drive away.
'You deal with him well. I worry about his future.' Yuki said, behind me, making me jump.
'Me too, but he'll be okay. He just needs to stop drinking so damn much.' I laughed, taking the shot from his hand and drinking it, despite my advice seconds before.
'Let's get you back inside this party.' He said, taking my hand and leading me back inside, straight towards Charles.
He held out his hand for me, letting me know that he wanted to dance, pulling me away from everyone else and bringing his lips close to my ear.
'Did he touch you?' He mumbled, just loud enough for me to hear.
'No.'
'Are you sure? Because if he fucking touched you, Mia.' Charles begun.
'He stumbled away from me if anything Charles. There's nothing to worry about. I had it under control.' I reassured him.
He smiled, leaving a soft kiss on my jaw, before bringing his forehead to mine, resting it against me as we danced slowly together.
'That's my girl.'
My heart was leaping out of my chest, and I was feeling it more due to the alcohol slowly starting to effect me. He was driving me crazy and he knew it.
'Can I steal her from you? Prince Charming? Or is she booked for the rest of the night?' Max asked jokingly.
I saw Charles genuinely glare at him, but I nudged him, giving him one last kiss before following Max to the bar.
'Are you okay?' Were the first words to leave his mouth.
'I'm okay, why does everyone keep asking me this?' I chuckled.
'Oh you've not heard about Danny?' He asked, slowly.
'What about Danny?' I asked, turning to look for my brother, who now, very obviously wasn't anywhere to be seen.
'I don't think he's driving next year Mia.'
—— I'm so sorry I disappeared for a while!!! Loads of exams and a little bit of writers block but I'll try and post at least 2/3 times a week for you. Let me know what you want to see ! I love you all!
