"Plan: get ridiculously drunk, throw up a few times and in the morning regret our decisions, say we never want to drink again and proceed to drink even more most likely next week," I said to everyone as we sat round a private table in the club.

There wasn't a single word in any dictionary to ever exist about how happy was, I'd finally had my first win and at my home race too. Not to mention I had a girlfriend who I was mad about and even if we did want our relationship to be private and secret oh well.

I couldn't care less, she was mine and at least the whole world knew that now.

We still obviously are going to keep the relationship private but it just may be a little more difficult now fans and everyone else knows.

"I like the idea of that," Pierre cheered before dragging Rach onto the dance floor.

The pair were already absolutely hammered thanks to the many pre-drinks they had. Whilst the rest of us had only two shots those two had downed an entire bottle of vodka together.

And not the small bottles.

The big bottles.

Like, the biggest bottles of Smirnoff they sell.

No one was the designated driver/sober one either tonight. We decided this was going to be a night of celebration for everyone and not just me.

We all did amazingly and it was a great feeling.

"Lando I'm stealing the misses for a dance," I heard my best friend shout over the music as he grabbed Maria's hand and dragged her off my lap where she was comfortably sat.

I rolled my eyes at the two as George and Alex did another round of shots. "I think for once I'm going to be the most sober one at the end of the night."

"Oh as if, we're not allowing such blasphemy on the night of your first win!" George cheered pouring a shot for me and sliding it across the table.

"If Maria found out you were the most sober she'd personally see to it that you drink every last drop of alcohol in this place," Alex laughed as I quickly took the shot squeezing my eyes shut at the burn of the alcohol sliding down my throat.

"Lando you have no idea how proud she is of you... I mean she's always proud of you but today she is the proudest she's ever been of anyone combined," Carmen slurred as I let out a small chuckle.

"Thanks guys."

"You're the one who bagged her, took you long enough it was getting quite painful actually," George winked.

"Yeah well now we've got to get Pierre to make an official move on Rach and we're set," I quickly said changing the topic of conversation away from me.

My favourite voice in the world then made an appearance from beside me, "he only hasn't because for once he truly likes someone and he's scared."

"That's a first," Alex muttered.

"I place my bets that tonight is the night something happens between the two," I said placing a tenner on the table.
