RIGHT BY YOU //DANIEL RICCIARDO

NINE

"Are you sure you want to fly back with with us Ellie?"

Daniel Ricciardo asked his girlfriend of six months with a worried look on his face as he thought about her being with them.

It wasn't that he didn't want her to fly back to Monaco with them, no he wanted that dearly, he wanted her right there next to him where he knew that she was safe.

But he also didn't want to put her in a situation where she wasn't comfortable as she wasn't completely healed from the past relationship just three years prior.

"I'm sure Danny."

Rosso Horner told the Australian with a smile on her face as she looked up at him, placing a gently kiss on his cheek.

"It could be chaotic."

Daniel warned while wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in to him with a small smile.

"I've dealt with you and Max when you two were teammates, I think I can handle just a little chaos for a flight Daniel."

Rosso told him with laugh as remembered the duo that was teammates for a few years.

"We aren't that bad."

"Tell that to everyone in Red Bull, I'm sure they'll disagree with that statement."

"Who will disagree with what?"

Max Verstappen asked as he walked up to the duo that is his best friends with his eyebrow raised in question at what they were talking about.

"You and Daniel as teammates and how chaotic it was."

"We were not chaotic Ro, we were... normal."

"Perfectly normal."

"You two took an ice bath completely naked with each other."

Rosso told the two drivers as she rested her hands on her hips daring them to challenge her more on the subject.

"That doesn't explain anything."

Daniel said with a laugh as he grabbed his and Rosso's suitcases once he saw Nico Hulkenberg walk up to them knowing that was the last person that they were waiting for knowing that the other people would already be there waiting.

"Please tell me there's going to be food on this flight."

Rosso said walking out of the hotel with the rest following, all releasing a laugh at her statement as they should've expected it.

"Yes Ellie, there will be food. I wouldn't leave you starving from Austin to Monaco."

Daniel told her with a smile as he opened the car door for her after loading the bags in to the trunk.

"I thought maybe you would want me dead, death by starvation."

"And be without you? Miss silly goofball? I would die myself."

"He's lying to you Ro, he'd get with me."

"He'd get killed by a kangaroo."

Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen, and Nico Hulkenberg said simultaneously with different answers, causing the brown haired girl to look at them in horror not expecting that many answers to her statement, especially not one that implied her boyfriend dying by a kangaroo.

It actually confused her deeply on how a kangaroo even became apart of this conversation but it had somehow found it's way in.

But the scariest part to Rosso was that it fit perfectly with the group as Max and Daniel had almost gotten punched by a Kangaroo one night while being drunk.
