You introduce yourself to everyone else at the party, learning that Pierre drives for Alpha Tauri, Charles Leclerc - is Carlos's teammate at Ferrari - and his girlfriend Charlotte. Daniel Riccardo and Lando Norris drive for McLaren. George Russell for Mercedes, and Alex Albon for Williams.

Anna passes you a drink and you all sit around chatting, getting to know one another.

"So, Maddie, what do you know about Formula One?" George asks.

"Not much to be honest. I've seen a few races over the last couple of years. Pretty much all I know is that you drive really fast in a loop... oh and first one across the line wins!"

"Yeah, that's pretty much the basics of it." George says laughing.

"You're coming to the race this weekend though right?" Daniel asks.

"Yes, Anna's going to take me and show me around," you say smiling at Anna.

"Oh yay! Another girl in the garage!" Charlotte says excitedly.

"Well, if you get bored at Ferrari you can always head down to Mercedes. I can show you around if you want." George says.

"Thanks George, that would be great. But I do have to warn you I am a huge Ferrari fan, so I don't think I'll get bored that easily." You say smiling at him and everyone laughs.

"Well, I need another drink, anyone else want one?" Pierre asks standing up.

Everyone else shakes their heads no.

"I do, I'll come with you." You say standing up following him into the kitchen. The two of you stand behind the island making your drinks.

"What're you making?" You ask Pierre.

"Jack and Coke, you?"

"Screwdriver," you say pouring the orange juice into your glass over the vodka.

Pierre steps behind you reaching around you to grab the bottle of Jack Daniels innocently putting his hand on your hip causing your heart to involuntarily start racing.

"So, any reason Anna thinks that you'll scare me off?" You ask taking a sip of your drink and leaning against the counter.

"You should probably ask Anna about that," Pierre says laughing.

"Well, I'm not asking Anna, I'm asking you," you say taking a step closer to him.

"Why do you want to know?" Pierre asks turning to you, just centimeters apart.

"Because I like to know what I'm getting myself into," you say.

"Oh, so you're getting into me now are you?" Pierre says leaning in.

"Well, I'm going to be around a lot this weekend and the next few weeks at least, so yes, I like to know what I'll be around." You say leaning back on the counter, Pierre's hands on either side of you.

"Crazy girlfriend?" You ask tilting your head and Pierre laughs.

"No girlfriend, but that was a good guess."

"Drug dealer? Alcoholic?" You gasp, "have you been to prison?" You ask jokingly.

"You're funny Sutton, I'll give you that," Pierre says, and starts looking between your eyes and your lips. The alcohol running through your body wants to kiss him, but your brain is saying no, you only just met.

"Any crazy boyfriend I should know about?" Pierre asks.

You laugh, "definitely, definitely, not."

"Good." Pierre says looking into your eyes. Just then you hear Anna calling your name.
