"how are you love?" Lando asks as I finish getting ready, adjusting the floral dress handing off my frame along with a pair of black chunky boots and a leather jacket hanging around my arms.
"I'm good, just nervous is all" I mumble as he walks up to me and holds me in his arms
"It'll be ok love" he mumbles as I wrap my arms around his waist.
"I'm scared, especially after what happened last weekend? I'm absolutely terrified and scared shitless" I mumble against his chest as he lets out a deep breath.
"I know baby, I'm a bit scared too, but romain is ok, he's safe. I will always come back to you, I promise. I love you" he mumbles resting a kiss on my forehead
"I love you too" I mumble listing to this heartbeat
"come, I think we gotta get to the track, Jon is probably waiting for us" He smiles kissing my forehead again quickly before grabbing my hand and laces his fingers through mine and I slide the mask around my wrist and we walk out of the hotel room and immediately meet up with Jon who was waiting for us in the lobby
"morning you two" Jon chuckles greeting us both friendlily
"morning" I nod with a smile as we walk into the parking lot and quickly jump into the car, I sit in the backseat as Jon starts driving to the circuit.
"how were your birthday celebrations Dyl?" Jon asks chuckling as I yawn silently in the backseat.
"good, dinner was super sweet and I think we all had a really nice time" I tell him with a smile
"that's fantastic" Jon nods chuckling as he pulls into the circuit, I slid the Mclaren mask around my face and adjust it over my nose.
"how are you?" I ask him as we park the car
"good, it'll be an interesting race to say the least" Jon nods as we climb out of the car and Lando laces his fingers though mine as we walk into the circuit. Photographers continuing to follow us with a close eye as we make our way to the Mclaren garage.
"I'm gonna go get a coffee, I'll right back?" I smile as I let go of Lando's hand as he walks into the garage and I walk into the Mclaren hospitality building, I walk up to the espresso machine and make myself a coffee, with Lando needing to be at the circuit for majority of the day despite the race not being until later tonight. Once I finish making my coffee I carry the to-go cup in my hand as I walk across the paddock and into the garage, I walk into Lando's driver room, the room silent inside. I figured he probably went to his pre-race debrief.
I sit down in the chair in the corner of the room and relax drinking my coffee. I scroll through my phone and send a few texts to people as I enjoy a bit of peace and calm before the storm.
---------------------
"come on babe, I gotta get into the garage!" Lando chuckles as I slide the mask over my face.
"okay okay!" I laugh once I get the mask properly on and grip tightly onto his hand and run following him close behind the garage.
"promise me you'll be safe?" I ask him once we walk into the back of the garage.
"promise" he smiles sticking his pinky out and I link mine through his and he gives me a smile.
"I love you, stay safe" I tell him pulling my mask down briefly and pressing a kiss to his cheek
"I love you too" he smiles giving me a wink before I walk away and grab a pair of headphones from the wall in the garage. I slide the familiar headphones around my neck before walking over to Charlotte and Helen standing in the back of the garage.
