"Is this the end of all the endings? My broken bones are mending, with all these nights we're spending," the blonde sang as she was in the studio,"up on the roof with a schoolgirl crush, drinking beer out of plastic cups. Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff, baby, all at once, this is enough."

"Em, that was perfect!" Jack said as the blonde grinned. She took her headphones off and smiled as she walked out of the booth and towards Jack. "I'd say with a bit more editing, we can get this released in the next couple weeks."

"Really?" Emily asked with a grin as Jack nodded. "Brilliant!"

"Is this by any chance about a certain McLaren driver?" Jack asked as Emily sat down and sipped her coffee. Emily looked at him and hesitated.

"Yeah," she admitted as she smiled, "he's had a lot of impact on me recently, and he's massively influenced my view on things." Jack smiled as he looked at the blonde.

"I"m happy for you Em," he said as she smiled. "You deserve someone who makes you feel like this song." Emily smiled as she nodded.

"Thanks Jack," she said smiling as he grinned. "This is my way of telling him, you know? I'm not good at talking to people about things like this, so this is my way of doing it."

"I'll try and get the song out earlier for you," he said as she smiled.

"Don't put yourself under too much pressure," she said as he grinned.

"I won't," he said as Emily smiled, "don't worry. Get some rest, we've got a busy day tomorrow."

"You need a lift home?" Emily asked as she stood up.

"No, I'm okay thank you," he said, "Margaret's coming to pick me up." Emily smiled and nodded as she grabbed her bag, said goodnight to him and made her way back to her house. 

The blonde changed into an oversized shir and apair of black shorts and just as she sat on her couch, her phone buzzed and she saw it was a text from Lando.

You free?

Perfect timing, just got back!

The second she had sent the message, there was a request for a FaceTime call. Emily smiled as she pressed accept and a grin grew on her face when she saw Charles.

"Hi Lan," she said as she smiled at him.

"Hey Ems," he said smiling, "how was your day?"

"It was good," she said smiling, "me and Jack got most of the first single done, hopefully it can be released soon. How about you?"

"I can't wait to hear it," he said as she smiled. "My day wasn't bad, it was chill," he said as Emily walked to her bedroom and sat at her desk, resting her phone against her vanity desk mirror. "Qualifying happened today."

"I saw that," she said smiling, "congrats on twelfth!"

"Thanks," he said smiling as she grinned. "When do you think you'll be done with recording?"

"Um, maybe in the next month or so," she admitted, "I've recorded all the songs, I just need to go back and edit them all. How come?"

"I was going to see if you wanted to come race in France end of next month?"

"I'd love to!" she said, a wide grin on her face as Lando beamed.

The two spent hours talking on the phone, talking about everything that came to mind, until Emily realised how late it was.

"Oh shit," she laughed, "it's already three am."

"Oh shit, you need to get some sleep, you have an interview tomorrow right?" Lando as as Emily smiled and nodded.

"Yeah," she said smiling, "Jack texted me a few hours ago. The song's ready so I'm preforming it on James Corden, but I'll call you tomorrow?" 

"I'd love that," he said as she smiled.

"Perfect," she said smiling, "we'll figure out a time when we're both free and go from there?"

"Sounds good to me," Lando said smiling. "Goodnight Ems."

"Goodnight Lan," the blonde said, waving before she hung up. When the call ended, the blonde sat there with a smile like a crazy person. "Fuck sake," she said, smiling as she turned her phone off and went to sleep.
