Private Life is a happy life

38- Birthday

Lando POV

We landed in Monaco, luckily Max had come to pick Lucy and Carlos up so me and George could discreetly, get Mum and dad's presents back to Lucy's.

There was 4 big ones and 3 little ones, I didn't expect them to get her so many. We loaded them and headed to hers. We walked in, Lucy was telling everyone how great my family was and how much she ate, they were all as proud as I was. "You should get some sleep darling, we're going out tonight." She kissed my cheek, "Okay, see you all later." She took herself upstairs, Charles looked hurt, I know that feeling, wishing you were the one with Lucy.

"Right let's get decorating, it's already 2." Daniel was such a time keeper. The boys went all out, banners, balloons, drinks, food and a mountain of presents. We got to work assembling the balloon arches. Our phones kept dinging, the other drivers were on their way, I checked my phone, it was 6 o'clock no wonder they were on their way. We quietly let them in, Lewis brought a giant cake that he set on the table, the drivers also brought presents and cards, she was gonna be so shocked. A few brought their girlfriends, Pierre brought his new girlfriend Kika, Daniel brought Heidi and Carlos brought his date Rebecca.

It's was 7 o'clock and we'd cooked all the food and got everything sorted, the only drivers that didn't turn up were Checo and Logan. Lily was very excited, to meet Lucy. I went upstairs to Lucy's room, she was already waking up. "What time is it?" "7 Princess, let's get ready." She nodded, I picked her out a nice orange dress. She looked stunning.

I lead her out of the bedroom, the lights were off downstairs. "Why is it so dark?" She asked. "I didn't want to wake you, so I left them off." I walked her downstairs, she turned the lights on.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" the drivers shouted, she screamed cause it scared her, she looked around and a tear fell, "You guys did all this for me?" I hugged her. "Of course, we wanted you to have a great day." She kissed me. "Thank you so much everyone." She went over to them and hugged them all. Lily made herself known. "Lucy, hi I'm Lily, I'm Alex's girlfriend." She gave her a hug, "I know you, I follow you on Instagram, I literally love you." Lily laughed. Max came over to me. "You really pulled it off, man." He patted my back, "She deserves it, I really do love her Max." He smiled. "I know you do, just don't mess it up this time."

"If I did, you wouldn't have to kick me, I'd kick myself." He laughed. I looked for Lucy, she was laughing with the girls, it will be so nice for her. The music was flowing and so were the drinks. A few people started leaving as it was 3 in the morning, Lucy and Lily were sat by the pool, Carlos and Rebecca went up to bed as did Daniel and Heidi, good job this place has so many bedrooms, we all had our own, mine was now with Lucy, so I let Daniel have mine. Carlos, Max, George and Charles had their own room too. But it was a 10 bed house so there was still 4 rooms and the couches.

Lily and Alex took a room, Lucy stayed by the pool. I went out to her. "Enjoyed your party, princess?" She was crying. "I did, thank you so much, I just wish mum could have seen us." I put my arm around her. "Well, about that, dad thought he recognised you so he did some digging, do you remember visiting my dad's company when you were 12?" I asked. "Lando, that was 13 years ago, I blocked out memories from then." She shrugged. "Well, you did. Mum and dad sent some presents for you and wanted you to open one first." I presented her with it. She looked at it, before opening it. She started crying, I looked at the photo. It was me and her as kids, stood with our parents, her dad had received an award.

"Oh Lando, you did get to meet my mum, I love this photo, please thank them for it." She held it close to her chest. She really had forgotten about it. "Let's get you a drink." I said. There was still a few people, but everyone was drunk. We all danced in the middle of the room. "I'm just going to the toilet." Lucy said, I nodded as Max approached. "Did she like the present?" I smiled. "She loved it, she started crying and she's already tasked George with putting it up." I pointed behind him, we laughed at George wobbling, trying to get the nail in, but he did it and hung the photo up. "Where is she?" "Toilet." Everyone that had left, started sending me photos from the party to send the nicest ones to Lucy, there was a group photo I was going to get printed for her. Everyone was in, except Lance who took it, it had all the drivers and their girlfriends too and Lucy, she was looking at me so lovingly.

"I'm gonna go to bed mate, I'm fucked" George said. "See you later mate." I gave him a hug. I checked my phone to see the time, Lucy had been a while. I waited 2 more minutes I asked Max if he'd seen her but he hadn't. We made our way to the steps, just as someone was falling down them. It was Lance, she was all bloodied, George at the top of the stairs. "Where's Lucy?" Max asked. We ran upstairs. She was in the corner crying, her dress was ripped. I rushed over to her, "baby, what happened." She looked at me, her face red. "Lance, he tried to..." she started crying. She didn't have to finish that sentence. Max started hurrying away. "No Max, it's not like that. He tried to help me."

"Lucy what happened?" "Magui, she and a guy were hiding in the bathroom and the guy grabbed me. Lance tried helping when I started shouting." Max walked off, "Get Lance to a hospital, he's been attacked helping Lucy." An ambulance was called. "I'm so sorry baby, it's all my fault." I helped her to her feet. George went to tell everyone the party was ending as Lucy was going to bed. I took her into her room. "Will you please all sleep in here tonight?" Max and George agreed.

I was the worst boyfriend ever. I keep putting her in harms way without meaning to. I'm supposed to protect her. I can't even do that.
