"I love you."

Gina Schumacher smiled as she spun herself around whilst standing in the design studio that belonged to her best friend, a dress on her body which had been made just for her.

It was a long sleeved dress with ruffled cuffs around her wrists, the dress hovering just above her ankles, the base of the dress flaring out slightly, it's glittered texture being something that the German girl absolutely loved.

It made it even better knowing that her best friend had made it for her even though she had hated the texture of the glitter effect fabric, carrying on only because of how much she knew that her best friend would like it.

"But do you love the dress?"

Lennox Knight muttered tiredly, her hands rubbing at her exhausted red eyes, having not slept for three days because she had wanted to get the dress right for the Schumacher girl that she proudly called her best friend.

Gina released a deep sigh as she surged forwards, hugging her best friend momentarily before she jumped backwards, not wanting her to be uncomfortable with the dress texture on her skin.

"I absolutely love it, Len!"

"Great." Lennox smiled sheepishly, grabbing her bag from her chair so that she could throw it over her shoulder, taking a hold of her sweater and the keys to her studio.

"You okay to lock up? I'm gonna sleep before it's too late and my body won't let me." The Knight girl muttered, fingers fumbling to put her phone in to her bag.

"Go, I've got it." Gina reassured gently, taking the keys to the studio out of the grasp of her best friend, watching as her best friend then ran out of the studio as if it was on fire.

Gina quickly pulled out her own phone, typing a message out to her brother.

GINNY WEASLEY: Len might be coming your way, you better be awake.

MICKEY MOUSE: Getting my sweater ready as we speak.

Mick Schumacher smiled softly as he heard a light knock on his front door, opening it to reveal the beautiful face of his Lex.

He didn't even need to say anything as Lennox surged forwards to bury her face in to his neck, his arms wrapping around her small frame. His lips pressed softly against the top of her head, hearing a small sigh leave her lips, her arms tightening around his waist ever so slightly.

"You coming for a sleepover, Lex?"

Mick smiled as the Knight girl stepped away from him, nodding her head up and down a couple of times, which made her wild and untamed hair shake and move.

The Schumacher boy led her carefully to his bedroom, which held his bed where he had placed a giant fluffy blanket over the top, and a pair of his sweatpants and a matching sweater that he knew that she loved.

He grinned to himself as she immediately grabbed a hold of them, running in to his bathroom so that she could change in to them, once returning the Knight girl did a small spin to show off how she looked within them.

The two of them climbed in to the German boys bed and pulled the duvet and blankets up to the chins so that they were nice and warm and comfy, with Lennox using his shoulder as a place for her to rest her head.

Mick's arm loosely wrapped around her waist, staying there for the duration of their sleepover.

The two spoke to one another over stupid things for just a mere couple of moments before soft angelic snores left the lips of the brunette girl, the hand of the Schumacher boy grazing gently over her soft features.

"You mean the world to me, Lex." Mick whispered to the sleeping girl, before he too fell asleep, relishing in the presence of the only girl in the world who made him truly happy.

Lennox Knight.

"Hello Lennox."

Kevin Magnussen greeted as he walked past the nervous girl, seeing that her hands were shaking slightly though he did not know if it was fear, anxiety or something else.

"Hi."

Lennox forced herself to mutter in a quiet tone, her voice cracking as she did so. She had only spoken to the Danish man a handful of times so she was still very nervous around him, and she was by herself.

Since she was waiting patiently for Mick, since she did not want to leave his meeting early to come and pick her up, having travelled all by herself through the city to get to the track where he would be racing.

Public transport was terrifying.

But she had done it for Mick. Only for Mick.

She had taken a bus, a train and a taxi to get to the track, which left her on the verge of a panic attack, her body desperately willing her to hold on just a little bit longer until her safe space was back and out of his meeting.

"Mick's trailer is unlocked by the way, if its too much for you out here, maybe try and calm yourself down in there. He might be about twenty minutes." Kevin offered her a soft and understanding smile as he noticed how she instantly nodded her head at the idea.

He even walked with her, though making sure that he did not overstep his boundaries and get too close to her, since he knew that she was still not a hundred percent comfortable around him, which he understood. It wasn't easy when around new people in New places with loads of new sights, new smells and sounds.

It was bound to make anybody stressed and panicked. He knew that.

As soon as Lennox was inside of the trailer, the Magnussen man turned to walk away though he stopped as he heard his name weakly being called from behind him.

"Kevin."

"Yes, Lennox? What is the problem? Shall I get Mick? Are you okay?" Kevin panicked, having never expected her to talk to him.

"Thank you for helping me." The lips of the Knight girl twitched upwards as she stared at the blonde man, a large beaming smile of his own filling his own face.

"You are very welcome, Lennox. I'm here any time that you need me... and I almost always have coffee with me." Kevin shot the girl a playful wink which made a small giggle leave her lips.

"I'll remember that. Thanks."

And with that, Lennox closed the door to the trailer, curled herself up in a blanket that smelt of Mick and waited for way longer than twenty minutes until his tired and sleepy figure entered his trailer, filling with surprise at her presence.

"Lex? What are you doi- are you okay? How did you get here? Are you feeling okay? What's the matter? Do you need a hug?"

Mick Schumacher surged forwards to crouch down in front of her, seeing how she leant forwards to press a soft kiss to his cheek.

"I wanted to surprise you." Lennox smiled, seeing his face light up. "I took a bus and a train and a taxi."

"I am so so so proud of you, Lex!" Mick wrapped his arms around her frame, pressing a soft kiss to her temple. "I would have picked you up, but I am so proud of you."

"It was worth it to see your face when you saw me." Lennox giggled as she pulled away from the hug, moving her body so that the Formula One driver could sit beside her and curl up underneath the blanket with her.

"Well your face always makes me happy. It just makes me extra happy because I had not expected to see you until tomorrow."

"Your face always makes me happy too."
