Once in a lifetime

~Hatred~

Lizzie's pov
When we arrived to the track y/n went on ahead with his team to talk about some changes they've done to his car. I watch him as he walks wi-
"Hey Elizabeth"

"Hi" I say back to the persistent Daniel. I wonder if y/n has told him anything about us getting to know each other.

"You look good" he says after looking me up and down. Don't get me wrong he's a good looking guy and I'd be lying if I said he wasn't but there's just something about him that gives me the ick. Maybe it's because he isn't y/n. That was harsh. Sorry not sorry Daniel. But on a real note the way he acts makes me feel slightly intimidated.

"Thanks I guess" I mumble back not really knowing what to say. I quickly look around the room hoping to find my other two friends so they can save me. When I lock eyes with scar I give her my best 'save me' look and it seems to work.

"Got any plans fo" "hey Lizzie! Come look at this" scar interrupts waving me over making me sigh in relief as I quickly disappear from a certain Ricciardo's side.

"Sorry but duty calls" I say walking backwards before I turn around and head straight to scar and Chris.

"What was that all about?" Chris asks as we all stand by a huge glass window which looks down at the first corner of the track.

"I'm not sure to be honest" I say not really understanding what Daniels goal is.

"I'm guessing he doesn't know that you and y/n are seeing each other with the way he was eying you up like his next prey" scar says making me hum in agreement.

"Clearly not"

Maybe if I just hang out with him one time he will leave me alone...

Daniel's pov

Yay! I got the cold shoulder once again. Well I'm assuming I did by the way she fucking hurried away when scar called her like I was carrying a disease or something. Maybe I'm coming across as too confident or something. Next time I'll take an approach like y/n would because she's always all over him so maybe that'll earn me some points in her good books.

Looking over at the three friends I see her laughing. Now that's something i wouldn't mind seeing for the rest of my life. I just need to get rid of-

"Daniel!" Dad shouts breaking me from my demonic thoughts. "Their waiting for you in the pits"

Time to be the best on the track now and beat HoNeY BadGeR

Stupid nickname.

Lizzie's pov
When we reach the pits I let scar, Chris and Ricky all have their own one to one good luck talks with y/n before I have mine. When they're all done I walk beside his car and crouch down to match his height.

"Hey you" I say looking into them baby blue eyes which will soon be covered by his visor on his helmet.

"Well hello you gorgeous girl, you ready to see me go full Mario kart mode on these bitches?" he replies making me laugh which is something he never fails to do so.

"I'm counting on it. I'll be cheering you on honey badger. Go out there and smash it" I say placing a kiss on his gloved hand, mirroring my actions from last practice. Maybe that'll become our thing. Me kissing his glove before he speeds off around the tracks. It's cringy but it's cute I guess.

"I'll see you on the other side love" he says squeezing my hand before letting go so I can go over to Chris and scar who are standing next to Ricky as they wait for practice to begin. Ricky looks like he's seen a ghost.

Daniel's pov
Anger. Nothing but pure anger and hatred is running through my veins. I don't get one word from her before practice but he gets a whole conversation and a kiss on the glove!

I have to do something. And it has to be soon. He has to go. Watch your back y/n, watch your fucking back.

Ricky's pov
"Hey kiddo" I say crouching beside Daniels car after giving y/n his good luck talk.

"Hey dad" he replies, checking his wheel is screwed on properly.

"What's going on with you and y/n?" I softly ask not wanting there to be any conflict between my sons on the track because i wouldn't want to be dealing with an angry wife when we go home.

"Nothing" he mumbles looking away. He's lying. He can never look me in the eyes when he lies.

"Cut the bullshit Daniel before I get mad. Just tell me I'm your dad and I only want to help my sons" I push trying to get an answer.

"Why don't you ask him seems as he's the perfect one" he seethes back making me very confused about the situation.

"Because he's talking with Elizabeth and I want to hear what you have to say. Your the one being off not your brother Daniel. We all saw that little stunt you pulled yesterday trying to beat y/n's lap when he was ahead when we told you not to." I explain, him still not looking me in the eye. "Look at me Daniel" he finally meets my eyes.

"You've got to stop comparing yourself to y/n. Your on the same team okay so stop being silly and listen to Andrea on comms. Don't disobey his orders or you'll end up as the reserve driver and we both don't want that" I say placing a hand on his shoulder.

"We both like Lizzie" he says. Oh shit. This cannot be good. My boys are stubborn and we all know how competitive boys get when they are in love. I was like it myself and I got the girl in the end. That girl being the twins mother. My sweet Layla Ricciardo.

"Wait wha" I begin but get interrupted by the announcer telling everyone to take their seats. "We'll talk when we get back to the hotel"

This will not end well when she picks who she wants.
