You were in a studio having accompanied Lewis to an interview. Standing behind the cameras and large lights, you watched as the make-up artist added the finishing touches to your boyfriend's face.

Not that he needs it, you thought.

Lewis skin was incredibly smooth and clear which was unfair since you still struggled to keep your face acne clear even after puberty. Not that there's anything wrong with being human and having acne, it's just that you couldn't help but compare sometimes.

"Alright Lewis, we're standing in 10 seconds." The journalist stated.

Lewis looked over and sent you a grin followed by a wink. You felt your cheeks heat up as you couldn't help but smile back. You and Lewis had only been dating for a year but gosh had it been one hell of a year. Filled with adventures across countries, exciting races and romantic outings. Lewis was everything you've ever wanted in partner and proved to be so much more everyday.

"We're recording in 5, 4, 3, 2 . . ." Lewis turned his attention to the camera and smiled his charming grin that had the whole world swooning.

"I'm Jason Ply and I'm here with the 7-time Formula 1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton."  The journalist introduced then continued,  "Lewis, so glad you could join me today. Contacting you has been pretty difficult these past few months."

Lewis chuckled and folded his arms across his chest. "Glad to be here Jason. Yeah, sorry about that. Between the races and training, I could barely fit in time to spend with family let alone interviews with the media."

You felt your heart ache a bit at that answer. Lewis had been working incredibly hard in the last months with his race trainings, meetings with Tommy Hilfiger for a new collection and charity work. He'd come home exhausted yet he still stayed up to hear about your day at work and made time for you in the little breaks he got in the week.

"That's understandable. We saw all the pictures on Instagram of your travels," Jason began to smirk. " And in one of your pictures, fans spotted Y/N L/N's reflection in the mirrors in the room."

You gasped softly and met Lewis' gaze. The two of you hadn't gone public with your relationship but people were beginning to get suspicious about you following him everywhere. When asked about it, you both claimed to be 'just friends' and it seemed to work for a while.

Not anymore I guess, you sighed.

You knew which picture Jason was talking about. It was taken a month ago in Bali on a spurof the moment romantic getaway . Lewis had taken a mirror selfie in the hotel room, not realising that you could be seen and posted it. Neither of you had spotted the mistake and clearly none of the fans had either. Until now.

Panic was coursing through your body as you held your boyfriend's gaze, yet his chocolate irises held reassurance. The talk about your relationship going public hadn't come yet but you nodded slightly at him. It was up to Lewis to decide since this was his reputation on the line. He grinned at me and turned back to an eager Jason who had watched the interaction with curiosity.

"Cat's out of the bag I guess," he chuckled slowly. "Yes, Y/N was with me on that trip."

Jason's eyes lit up with excitement and quickly turned to the camera. "There you have it F1 fans. The person in the picture is indeed Y/N L/N! While we're on this topic we have another question for Mr Hamilton,"

Lewis nodded slowly, wary of the direction this interview could go. You too were anxious. You weren't comfortable with the idea of everyone knowing your business with your boyfriend and constantly criticizing your every move. You valued your privacy and the security of knowing that no one else's opinion mattered besides Lewis' and yours.

Jason licked his lips before leaning forward and asking, "Are you and Y/N dating?"

Lewis smiled softly and looked to you before directing his attention to the camera. " Y/N and I are dating and have been for the past year. I honestly can't picture myself with anyone else. "
You felt your heart swell with happiness and you grinned.

The journalist turned to look at you off camera and grinned. You gave him a small wave and he waved back before turning to Lewis.

"Y/N is very pretty. I wouldn't have said no to dating her myself." Jason mused. Lewis sat up straighter and clenched his jaw.

"It's more than that Jason. Y/N's really smart and thoughtful. Her smile brightens up my day and her laugh is so contagious and bubbly. She's compassionate and creative. Always saying all the right things yet speaking her mind at the same time. She's my world and my rock. I couldn't thank her enough for sticking by my side through the good and the bad. " Lewis looked like he wanted to say more but not wanting him to expose himself on TV, you just shook you head softly at him. He'd said all you wanted to hear and more.

Your vision got blurry as tears welled up in your eyes.

"I love you." you mouthed at him and your heart burst with joy when he mouthed, "I love you more" back.
