---Evelyn's POV---

I get out of Lando's car, and he walks over putting his hand around my waist as we walk to the door. His grin is double the size as we continue walking down a hallway. Music is blasting and I look at him confused as he pushes open a door. I widen my eyes seeing everyone holding their hands up screaming, "What is happening?" I ask as Lando laughs.

"It's a party for you," he says leaning towards my ear, "Nobody knows you were shot so we told everyone we are celebrating us moving in," he says making me laugh.

"Congrats you crazy kids," Daniel says as he puts his arm around the two of us, "How about drinks?" he asks. All of the drivers order us drinks that we have to start handing them out, so we don't end up on the floor. When I see Max jogging over, he tackles me in a hug and looks at the bandage.

"What the hell did you do?" he asks. I look at Lando and he nods his head letting me tell him. The only people who know what actually happened as of now are Kyla, Oscar, and Charles. I haven't gone out in a while and Max is the only person who has called me. I've been telling him I'm busy at work but in reality, I didn't want to explain the wound. When I finish telling him the short version of the story, he punches Lando's arm making him groan, "Why the fuck would you do anything like that for this idiot?" he scolds as he looks at me like I'm crazy.

"I'm fine Maxamilian," I assure him as he shakes his head still in shock, "But don't tell anyone. Especially Daniel...we all know how shit he is at keeping secret. Just tell everyone a shelf fell on my arm," I tell him. He puts his arm around my shoulder and glares at Lando.

"She's too good for you. Stop fucking up," he says as Lando tells him he's well aware.

"All of my friends like you more than me now," he says as Max walks away. I shake my head as he takes my left hand and leads me to the dance floor. I wrap my arms around him and let him lead as I look around at everyone celebrating.

"I can't believe you did all this," I tell him.

"I can't believe it took me so long," he counters.

"Are you going to win the race this weekend?"

"Are you going to be there?" he asks as I nod my head, "Then I can't lose". He pulls me closer, and I nuzzle my head in his neck as I sink into his arms. Kyla is smiling at us as I look around the room. Charles has his arm around her as he talks with Carlos and Pierre.

It's nearly an hour later when Kyla and I escape to the roof to get some air. We lean against the railing looking down at the street. A group of drunk people go by every couple of minutes, "What the hell has happened this year?" She asks as I turn to her smiling. The two of us break out into laughter. Tears leave our eyes as our stomachs feel rock hard from laughing so hard, "We literally moved out of our apartment with formula one drivers...and you got shot," she says as I wipe the tears from my eyes trying to save my makeup.

"We are insane. Nothing about our lives is normal. I remember countless nights hearing you talk about how fine Charles Leclerc is and now you live with him. I can't even wrap my head about Lando putting together today," I tell her.

"I'm so excited for you two to move in," she says leaning back onto the railing. We see Max, Charles, and Lando walking outside giggling about something one of them have said. We stay quiet as she sips on her drink.

"Little Lando Norris fell in love. This was not how I expected this year to go," Max says as the other two laugh, "Seriously, how did you pull her? Charles has that charm so I can see him pulling Kyla but you...you're you," he says as we both silently laugh. Lando is smiling into his cup as he gets made fun of. I know the look on his face, and it makes the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.

"I bought a dog," Charles says making me look at Kyla. She looks as confused as I do and leans forward to here. He giggles clearly drunk off his ass, "It's a little puppy and he's being driven here from France. Kyla doesn't know".

"She's obsessed with dogs. Why don't you tell her?" Max asks as he pulls him phone out to show them the dog.

"You just did," she yells making the three guys lift their heads seeing us. She smiles down at him, and he starts shouting at her to come down as Lando and I smile at each other. He looks like he did on the podium in Miami. He shouts I love you making Max and I look at each other at how loud he's being. Max tries to quiet him down, but he pushes him off as the two plays fight each other.

"I am in love with that girl right there," Lando screams at a group passing by as he points to me. They all cheer as Max puts him in a headlock. Kyla and I rush off the roof to meet the guys downstairs. When I open the door, he grabs my face and pulls me in for a kiss his smile never leaving his lips.

"You ready to go home or do you want to dance?" I ask. He looks at my dress and pulls me back inside making us all laugh. I love drunk people. It's nice having nights like these. Everyone is dancing and drinking and having a good time. It's the kind of party nobody wants to end. Tomorrow is thousands of years away. I buy a round for everyone as Lando stands on top of a table to make a toast.

"Listen up," He shouts taking the microphone the DJ is handing him, "I would like to thank everyone for coming tonight. It's nice having people in your life you can celebrate every milestone with. Even if it's just Max winning another race," he says making everyone laugh, "It's almost the end of the season. We have two more races, and this year flew by. I hope the new world champion is prepared for the giant party the rest of us are expecting after they wins, "He says holding his beer up, "but tonight is for Evelyn...my Eve," He whispers giggling a little, "Max and Carlos put a bet at the beginning of the season on how long it would take for me to fuck this up. So tonight, since I proved them wrong, they are paying the tab," he yells making everyone go crazy, "I love you and I can't wait to celebrate next season with you by my side. Hopefully your good luck gets me world champion," he says getting down from the table. I'm shocked as he kisses me for the hundredth time tonight with everyone looking. He passes the mic to Max and pushes me to the dance floor to end the night.
