Daniel, Max & Stoffel - Happy Birthday

A/N: This one is for my amazing friend pasfeatvic, because it's her birthday tomorrow! Happy birthday babe!! I hope you have an amazing day and an amazing year :) Wish her a happy birthday in the comments and enjoy the one shot!

I look at my 3 best guy friends from a distance. I swear something is up with them. They've been acting suspicious for a while now and I have no idea why. Did I do something wrong? I must've, right? Why else would they be avoiding me? This has never happened in the 2 years I've known them. I still remember the day as if it were yesterday.

It has been a very tough few days, but luckily, I'll have the day off tomorrow. Two days without complaining passengers, little kids and everything else that can be associated with an airport.

"Good morning," a male voice says and for some reason, that voice sounds very familiar. I look up and my eyes widen in surprise. This can't be. This isn't real. Okay, stay professional, I have to stay calm.

"Good morning, your boarding pass please."

"Here you go," the guy says as he smiles at me. I can't help but smile back as I check all the information, though I don't have to check to know who he is. The one and only Max Verstappen. Okay, I knew I was working in the business area today, but I did not expect this.

"Please place your suitcase right here," I say as point next to me. Max does that and as he moves to the side, I see who's standing behind him. This can't be real, right? This has to be some sort of dream. I quickly turn around and take a few deep breaths. How are Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo standing in front of my check-in desk right now?

"Are you okay?" I hear Max ask, which means I have to turn around again.

"Yeah, I'm great. It's just...., I'm a big fan."

"You are?" Max asks surprised and I nod.

"I don't miss a single race."

"That's awesome! Yo Dan, she's an F1 fan!" Max says to Daniel, making him come to my desk. Oh my gosh, he's smiling. That smile!

"Wow, that's awesome!" Daniel says, making me blush slightly.

"Be honest, do you watch for the racing or do you watch for the drivers?" Max asks, causing a huge blush to appear on my face. Oh if only he knew what's being said in the F1 groupchat I'm in....

"I think I know the answer to that," Daniel asks, but I shake my head.

"No, I watch for the racing. I love the races, I'm always on the edge of my seat."

"So if we were ugly as all hell, you wouldn't care?" Daniel asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I mean, it would be a little unfortunate," I admit, making both boys laugh.

"Do you have a break soon? I wanna know all about your love for F1," Max asks and I quickly check the time.

"I have a break in a little while," I tell them, making them smile.

"Great, we'll be in the lounge. Come find us," Daniel tells me. Oh, I definitely will.

It's still crazy to me that I met 2 of my 3 best guy friends at work. The third one, Stoffel, I met whilst I was at a race, supporting the Bulls. I was walking around the paddock during qualifying and unfortunately, he was out in Q1. We just kind of bumped into each other and started talking. But talking is exactly what the four of us haven't been doing lately. The boys have been very secretive, during the entire race weekend.

The race ended earlier and all boys had a pretty good result, with both Daniel and Max ending on the podium. Stoffel had a pretty good result as well, but with him being in a McLaren, just in the top 10 was the best he could do. But nevertheless, I see it as a great birthday present.

Yes, it's my birthday. Well not today, tomorrow, but still. The boys invited me to the race as a birthday present, which was really exciting. The only downside is that they've been kind of secretive.

"Pas!" Max calls out, making me snap out of my thoughts. I look over and see that the 3 of them are making their way towards me.

"Hey guys," I say, smiling at them.

"Do you feel like having fun tonight? We need to celebrate the podium finish of these two," Stoffel says whilst pointing at the two other guys.

"Yeah, sure. What's the plan?"

"We don't really know yet. We're going back to the hotel now to get ready and then we'll come pick you up, okay?" Daniel says and I nod.

"Alright, let's get going!" Max says and the four of us make our way to the parking lot, where cars are waiting to take us back to the hotel.

I stand in front of the mirror, looking at the outfit I'm wearing. It's my favorite one, I brought it to wear it on my birthday, but now seems a good time to wear it. Tomorrow I'll be on a plane on my way home anyway, not the right occasion to wear a nice dress like this.

"Pas! You ready?" I hear Daniel call out.

"Coming!" I reply before grabbing my clutch and taking one last look in the mirror. I open the hotel room door and find my 3 boys standing in front of me.

"You look absolutely amazing," Max tells me, making me smile.

"Yes, I agree," Stoffel says and Daniel nods in agreement.

"Thanks guys. So, already decided where we're going?" I ask as we start making our way to the lobby.

"It's a surprise," Daniel says. They lead me to a car, which tells me wherever we're going isn't that close to the hotel. The drive isn't that long and I look around to try and find out where we're going. But as we're in an unknown city, I have no idea. Soon enough, the car pulls over and I wait until Max or Daniel opens the door as I'm squeezed in the middle.

"Why aren't you getting out?" I ask when neither of them make a move to get out.

"Because we can't yet," Max says, which confuses me.

"Why not?"

"Because you need to put on this blindfold first," Daniel says, taking out a blindfold out of his pocket.

"Why?" I ask suspicious.

"Just trust us," Max says. I look to the front, to Stoffel, for some reassurance, but he's gone. What's going on.

"Will I like it?" I ask, even though I know I can trust them. It's still scary to put on a blindfold, no matter in which situation you are.

"You'll love it," Daniel assures me.

"Okay then," I say, making both Daniel and Max smile. Daniel puts on the blindfold and once it's on, Max helps me out of the car. The boys walk on either side of me and lead me somewhere. I don't know where we're going, but I feel we're going inside as the temperature changes.

"Are you ready?" Max asks.

"I hope so," I say and then I feel someone taking off the blindfold.

"SURPRISE!"

"What?" I say surprised. My eyes are still adjusting to the light a little, but I see a huge group of people standing in front of me.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they exclaim, making me tear up slightly.

"Did you guys do this?" I ask Daniel, who nods. Suddenly, I understand all them acting all secretive. They were planning this. For me.

"Thank you, so much," I say as I hug Daniel. After that, I hug Max and Stoffel as well, who has reappeared. Then I go to all the people who came out here to celebrate with me. I see all my friends, all the people I love. Everyone who I want to have here with me on my birthday. I can't believe they did this for me. I seriously have the best friends ever.
