Formula 1 - One Shots [First Book]

Lucky Charm - {Daniel Ricciardo}

A/N: This is for tami_udvardy, hope you like it darling 💖

You were quite nervous as you arrived at the track, the terrain and parking lot full of people. Many lines in front of the entrance and you were glad Daniel had arranged that you could get in via the back, where all the drivers also went through.

This was the first time you would watch Daniel race. You were always interested in Formula One, but never attended a race before due to traveling alone and your parents didn't think that traveling to another continent all on your own was a good idea.

But then you met Daniel. You smiled as you thought back on meeting him.

You and your friends had been going out and you were starving at 5 in the morning. Your friend dragged everyone to the local hamburger house, which was open especially on these times because many teens came by to eat something after drinking all night.

You gladly took your hamburger from out of the window and started to eat it, sighing as your stomach stopped rumbling.

"That's a pretty big burger for a small girl". You heard behind your back and you turned around on your high heels, eyeing the even taller man behind you. He was handsome, a toned skin and black hair, small scruff on his chin.

"Mwah, don't have any problems with it". You shrugged, not in the mood for those kind of guys who think it's unhealthy and think every girl is a fitgirl. "You better don't, because they're the best".

The man had a playful twinkle in his brown eyes and you felt yourself drawn to him. "You're not here all alone are you?". His eyebrows knitted together as he saw a group of boys eyeing you. You shook your head and wiped your mouth with the tissue.

"My friends are...". You looked over your shoulder. "Gone". You rolled your eyes.

"Then you have enough time to share these fries with me". He grinned and you faintly recognized his smile, that beautiful beam of happiness and those gorgeous dark eyes. You sat down next to him on the pavement, not really caring about getting dirty clothes.

"Who am I sharing these fries with?". You asked as you ate one.

"Daniel Ricciardo, nice to meet you". You looked up as his name definitely ring a bell. You blushed and smiled, not saying anything about it. "I'm Y/N".

It was a warm day in Malaysia and you patted yourself on the back for wearing a summer dress and some flat sandals who were easy to walk on, instead of your usual jeans and combat boots.

You could imagine how unbearable the heat must be for the drivers who were driving in that fire proof racing overall and sitting so close to the engine that was extra heated with these weather circumstances.

Daniel's back was towards yours as you came into the Red Bull pit box. Team members smiled at you, but there also a hint of confusion in their eyes.

You briefly made eye contact with his engineer Simon and the man leaned over to say something to Daniel, eyes flickering back to you. The Australian turned around and smiled brightly as he saw you. You smiled back immediately and he walked up to you to twirl you around.

"Hey there princess". Daniel purred and kissed your cheek.

"Hi Dan". You said and held onto his arm, feeling the supple material beneath your fingers. "Simon's got a pair of headphones for you, so you can follow everything". You nodded and watched curiously around the pit box.

"There you go, I'm Simon by the way". The man came back and handed you the headphones and extended his hand for you to shake. "I'm Y/N". You smiled.

"My girlfriend". Daniel said and wiggled his eyebrows, swinging his arm around your shoulders to pull you into his side. "Who'd ever thought that, Daniel Ricciardo and a girlfriend. You must be a special girl then, Y/N". Simon teased.

"Oh, she is". The Australian said and pressed a kiss to your lips. "I'm needed on the track now, you can sit in the back in front of the screens". Daniel pointed to the empty guest chairs.

Your first live experience was amazing as you could hear the engines zooming passed the pit lane every time they reached full speed on the straight. Malaysia gave a few surprising moments this year, as Hamilton's engine blew up and Daniel was leading the race.

You proudly smiled as he won the race and you couldn't wait to see him on the podium. The team came together for a big group hug and Simon pulled you in as well and you were surrounded by the blue overalls of Red Bull team members.

"Come". Simon got your arm to get you towards the podium, the fences keeping you away from the drivers. Daniel parked his car in front of P1 and he hopped out as fast as he could, almost scooped by the driver who became second as he jumped into his team.

You didn't really care that you shouldn't climb the fences and you swung your leg over it to sit on the metal bar. Daniel wrapped you up in his arms and you wrapped your legs around his waist. "You did so well!". You yelled against his helmet.

"This win is for you, you were my lucky charm! And it's also for him...". Daniel said, still panting and slowly letting you go as he needed to get towards the podium.

This was his first win of the season and you expected that he'd dedicate it fully to his friend Jules Bianchi and you were touched that he also won for you.

Seeing him on to podium and holding up the trophy, pointing at the sky and trying to hold in the tears got your to spill a couple as well. Daniel blew you a kiss and formed a little heart with his fingers, causing you to laugh and shake your head as his dorkiness.

Daniel couldn't stop staring at his beautiful trophy and at you as you were sitting on the opposite of him in the private airplane of Nico Rosberg. "He's proud of you, Dan". You mumbled, taking a hold of his hand.

He blinked a couple times as he didn't have to think twice about who you meant. Daniel chuckled and kissed your knuckles. "I really think you were my lucky charm. Can you come with me the next time as well?". He teased and you laughed.

Daniel looked into your eyes with a tired, yet lovely gaze, gently grabbing your jaw to kiss you. You smiled against his lips as he pulled you onto his lap, his hands wandering down your back.

"Hey, no smooching here". Romain Grosjean opened his eyes briefly to look at you two with a sly grin and Daniel laughed. "Go to sleep, old man". The French man laughed loudly at his reply.

"We have some time for ourselves at home". You said, sitting down next to him now, your legs still on his lap.

"Do we?". Daniel's eyes big and a smirk tugging on his lips.
