Chapter 38

"So the boys and I were talking." Lando says. "Oh no. That's never a good sign." I mockingly comment. "First of all, hey!" He says pretending to be hurt, "Second of all, we were talking about how it would be cool if we all go to Hawaii for a few days over the summer break. The other guys will bring their girlfriends too." He says with a smile. "That sounds amazing. Just let me know how much I must pay." I add. "Nothing at all. My treat." He says. "Lando. I can't expect you to pay for my entire holiday." I say, feeling bad. "I want to. You're my girlfriend and I want to spoil you." He says with a smile. "You're so adorable. If you're sure then fine but at least let me pay for dinner once." I say. "Ok, deal." He says, kissing the back of my hand once again.

Throughout training and the build up to the Silverstone Grand Prix, my excitement grew. Ready for one of the most popular races of the season. I walk out my hotel room, down to the lobby where I agreed to meet Lando. As I don't feel completely comfortable sharing a room just yet. We agreed to take it slow.

I walk into the paddock, Lando's hand wrapped in mine. Swiftly kissing his cheek before moving to meet my engineers and go on our track walk.

Pointing out all the resurfaced parts, some kerbs I should avoid and all sorts of other things I need to know. We make a few jokes along the way, one getting captured by the Sky Sports camera passing by.

Eventually I make my way back to the garage and find Kaylee, ready to pull me off to all my interviews for today. "Hey Hannah. We have some interviews now and then your press conference with Daniel, Carlos, Kimi and Lewis." She says as I grab a Red Bull before we make our way to the media pen.

"Are you excited for the race this weekend?"

"Very excited for this weekend. My first British Grand Prix. I have been working a hard and I hope it will pay off this weekend."

"Any worries for this weekend regarding the championship?"

"Not really. With Max in first place and I'm in fourth, we are leading the constructors at this moment as well which is great for us. Max and I are working hard with the people at the factory hoping to keep up the current points that we are scoring."

"Since you have a one year contract with Red Bull. Are you worried that you won't get a seat next year?"

"I think the main thing right now is to focus on the race ahead this weekend. I'm hoping to get that sorted out before the end of Summer break."

After a whole afternoon of being bombarded with questions I make my way back to the garage. Talking over a couple final things before free practise tomorrow. I quickly check my phone to see I have multiple messages from a group chat I was just added to. 

AloHA

Georgie That's how you laugh in Hawaiian

LandHOEI don't think that's it mate

Lord Percival No, George is right

AlbonnoooooYeah George is right Lando

I giggle as I read through the other messages. Eventually the girlfriends started planning stuff and I added in my own thoughts and ideas. The boys were chaotically messaging random things in between our planning. It was kind of annoying but it showed one thing. We are all very excited for this trip.

I make my way back to my hotel room, flopping onto the bed. We worked hard during the two free practice sessions and I managed to top the table in FP2, Max 1st in FP1. Which shows that we really have some pace this weekend, even though the Mercedes cars are right behind us.

A knock on my door echos and I groan, getting up. I open the door and it is shoved open, someone running in under my arm. "Close the door please." They say and I close it. "What's going on?" I ask confused. George turns around and looks at me. Fear flashing through his eyes.

"What happened." I ask worried. "I accidentally knocked Nicholas' Nutella jar over in the hospitality center and that's the only jar they had and now he's upset." He says and I breathe a sigh of relief. "Oh good. I thought it was something serious." I say, my heart rate slowing. "Serious? This is very serious." George says and as if on queue a loud banging begins on the door, causing me to scream out of surprise. "George! I know you're in there!" I hear the familiar Canadian accent.

I move to the door. "No no no no." George whisper yells. "Hide then." Whisper yell back and he ducks behind the bed. I open the door to find an angry Nicholas right in front of me and a very concerned Lando against the opposite wall. "Hello?" I say to Nicholas. "Is George here?" He asks looking behind me. "It was just Nutella. You are supposed to be on a diet anyways." I say to him and he looks at me. Knowing I'm right. "But that's not the point. I was going to eat it on Sunday after the race." He whines. "I know but it's the truth." I say with a smile. "Oh and yes, George is here. He's behind the bed." I say letting him past. "Hannah!" George yells, upset, as Nicholas charges towards him.

I smile and walk over to Lando, wrapping my arms around his neck as his snake around my waist. "Do I even want to know?" He asks. "Probably not." I smile back. A lot of noise is coming from my room. Nicholas yelling about how upset he is. George defending himself. Lots of yelling.

A loud crash.

Then silence.
