Las vegas
The city that never sleeps.
For a night owl like lita, las vegas race weekends were the perfect sanctuary to give in her urges to sleep all day and party all night
The lively hood of the streets at night for the girl buzzing like a bee, there was no doubt it was her number one track.
Especially since this year it fell on her birthday.
Growing up, litas mother would always bake her a cake and knit her a new scarf or gloves for the winter since they never really had enough money
But now lita had the opportunity to spend it with friends and have a good time without concerns like that anymore
She still missed her mother's cake.
After a 3 practises that left lita in 2nd place for quali, it didn't take max as long as usual to get the French girl up out of bed
"Someone's in a good mood" max smirked slightly as he ruffled his wet hair with a towel as lita pulled on her redbull hoodie
"I just have a good feeling about this race" the brunette grinned as she moved to tie on her convers that had hearts on them
"And why's that?" He quirked an eyebrow as he set the hotel towel in the laundry basket
"Call it birthday luck" she giggled and max rolled his eyes
"It's not even your birthday yet" he scoffed as he went to grab his own hoodie since the temperatures had seemed to drop since the day went further on
"It will be in exactly 18 hours 38 minutes and 27 seconds" lita finished tying her shoes as max looked at her in disbelief
"You're counting down the minutes to the bone?" Max rolled his eyes "why am I not surprised"
"It's the one day a year that everyone has to do what I say cause it's my birthday" she shrugged as she went to pull her phone off charge
"No one does what you say anyway" he grumbled under his breath as lita slowly turned around and looked at him
"Speaking of birthdays" a slow sly grin took over her face "what did you get me for my birthday?"
"What did I get you?" He hummed back lazily "nothing"
Lita let out a massive gasp as she gawked at her boyfriend "you got me nothing?"
"Obviously I got you something"he scoffed back before putting a hand on his heart dramatically "you really think I'd forget it's your birthday?"
"You forgot it was yours last year" she looked at him knowingly as he rolled his eyes
"Yeah but I had a concussion from crashing into the walls in Italy" he pouted like a child
"It was barely even one, if anything you were being so annoying that you gave yourself a massive migraine" she stuck her tongue out as max looked at her stunned
"Your definitely not getting my present now" looking over at his like a puteland child, Lonnie grabbed the hotel card
Max was surprised she hadn't started stomping her feet like a 3 year old
"Probably was a sucky gift anyway" she grumbled as max held the hotel door open for her to walk out into the fluorescent lights of the hotel hallway
"I guess you'll never know" he shrugged lazily as the door swung shut behind them _________________________________
The paddock was in full swing for qualifying as usual
Many fans greeted the two redbull drivers with squeals and waves
Even a few of them had made happy birthday posters which made litas heart melt.
Qualifying had now rolled into the 3rd trimester and lita was stuck behind a McLaren
Even if she like she was on top of the world, being behind an orange Lorax of a car was really making her mood salty
"Okay lita, your gap behind Norris is 4'38 and there's only 5 minutes left of quali" Alex voice hummed onto the radio as lita grip tightened on her wheel
"Can someone tell this Lorax of a British rat to fucking move out of my way" lita huffed and she mad a sharp turn for corner 4
"Does he know it's my birthday tomorrow?" Alex rolled his eyes from where he sat in the garage
"Everybody does" the brunette let out an annoyed hum
"Well then go tell him he has to move out of my way" Alex shook his head
"You know I can't do that" there was pause "but he has to do what I say cause it's my birthday"
"Horners already been over this with you" this made her let out a massive huff
"But-" he cut her off "no buts lita, we can't just make people move out of the way cause it's your birthday"
"Remember how Hamilton took it last year?" A shiver ran down her spine at the memory of the British Mercedes driver flipping her off as he song happy birthday down the mic at last years vegas race
"It's not fair" slamming down in the gas, the redbull roared as she tried to gain pace on McLaren ahead of her as the seconds of the last quali round counted down
Letting out a sigh, Lonnie began to break later as she came to each corner, trying to chase down the mclarens ass
Letting out a frustrated noise, lita gripped the wheel of her redbull so tightly it was like her white gloves were turning even whiter.
As she finally caught to just the end of the McLaren she saw the flag ahead waving to signal the end of the practise
"Fuck" she mumbled as McLaren picked up speed as it belted down to the finish line
Crossing the path lita let out a huff before as her foot began to loosen on the peddle as she began to slow down the car for pit
Lando was definitely uninvited to her party.
