Wednesday afternoon
Silverstone/ Great Britain

Lando

Home race! Finally the day in the calendar came and it was my home race in Silverstone. And the best thing is, the academy was with us. In the past weeks Elina and I couldn't meet too often. Whether I had race weekend or she had a race with the academy. Every time it was possible we met in the country the other one was. The academy had less races than F1 so most of the time Elina was the one to visit me. Just like this weekend. Elina had a few weeks off and was on her way to England.

My best friend Max and I were standing at the airport waiting for Elina to arrive. When I finally saw her exciting the building I couldn't hold back my smile. She noticed us and started running towards us letting all of her stuff behind. I met her halfway and gave her a strong hug. "I missed you so much" she whispered into my ear. "I know. Me too." "Should I stick you together or do you let go of each other one day?" Max joked as he came to us. "Nice to see you too, Max!" Elina laughed. It made me happy seeing her laugh like this. Other than when we just met I now knew it was a real laugh.

We grabbed Elina's stuff and walked to our hotel which wasn't too far away from the airport. She told us a bit about the past weeks and the training. It was nice to hear her talk about the same interest like Max and I are sharing. I never thought she really would like driving fast cars.
We brought her suitcases into our room and went for a walk through Silverstone.
"There's a party this evening at the local club. We want to go with a few drivers including a friend of mine. Do you know Martin Garrix? He is the DJ this evening." "Yes, I know him. I love his music! Is he really going to be there?" Elina asked excited. "Of course. Why would I be lying, darling?" I told her and kissed her on her forehead. "Yeah, don't you think that's enough kissing for an hour, you guys?" Max said playfully. I looked at him annoyed but then started laughing. "You're only jealous because P is not here" I joked and then he was the one who's mad.

"We will be leaving at 8pm so you still have enough time to get ready" I told Elina. The walk went longer than expected and she was freaking about that there wouldn't be enough time for her to get ready. Girls can be really annoying. I wore some black trousers and a white shirt with a necklace and some bracelets I once got from my fans. I was sitting on the couch waiting for Elina. Finally I heard the bathroom door opened. I stood up and went to my girlfriend.
"Wow. You look stunning!" She was wearing a black tight dress with Lou Boutin heels. Her brown hair was up into a ponytail. She looked so beautiful standing there and looking at me. "Thanks my love."
Right then someone knocked on the door of our hotel room. We grabbed our stuff and I opened the door to welcome Max and Pietra. "Ready to go?" Max asked. "We were waiting for you for hours!" Elina joked. Max looked at me not believing her words. I just smiled and he laughed. I closed the door to our room and we made our way to the club. When we arrived Martin was already waiting for us at the entrance. "Hey guys!"he greeted us "Good to see you!" We gave each other a bro hug and I introduced him to Elina "That's Elina. She's a big fan of you." "What an honour! Nice to meet you" Martin said. Elina couldn't stop smiling "This is so crazy! I love your music! I'm listening to it all day! It was always my dream to meet and now-" "Don't forget to breathe, Elina!" I laughed. She just smiled nervously "Sorry." Martin laughed as well. We entered to club and the strong smell of alcohol filled my nose. The music was loud and people were singing with the lyrics. Martin would be the DJ later on at night so he had a bit free time to party with us. We walked to the bar and I got everyone a drink. "Cheers everyone!" I said and held up my champagne.

We talked, laughed and danced a lot until it was time for Martin to put on some music. "Do you want to join me?" Martin asked me as he was about to leave. I nodded "Yeah. I'll come after." He left and walked into direction of the stage. I went to Elina who was talking to Pietra at the bar. "Hey, girls. Sorry to interrupt you, but I'll be leaving soon." I wanted to surprise Elina with my DJ performance. She looked at me a bit shocked "What? Already?" She seemed sad. "I don't feel good and I want to be fit for the race weekend." I lied. "I'm coming with you" Elina said then and drank the rest of her drink. "No!" I stopped her "I mean. You don't need to. Please have some fun with the girls." Shit. I didn't think she would want to go home with me. She looked at me a bit confused of my answer "Okay, then. I'm coming later. Call me if you need anything." She said. I gave her a kiss and left short after "I love you!" "I love you too" I heard her saying. Her voiced sounded sad. I felt bad for lying. But I wanted to surprise her. I wanted this night to be remembered.
I sneaked myself through the club to the stage. From behind I could see Martin vibing to his own music. He absolutely loved what he was doing. And the fans were loving it even more. I joined my friend on the stage and put on my headphones. The crowd started screaming as they saw me.
I looked over to the bar trying to find Elina. But she wasn't there anymore. Pietra  looked at me apologetic and shrugged her shoulders. Fuck.
