It Takes Two to Tango

Third Person POV:

Tuesday, post Saudi Arabia GP

New York, Y/N's Penthouse

After a fifth place in Saudi Arabia, Y/N comes back to New York to his penthouse and sees his mom there, petting Maximus

Y/N: Hey mom. Thanks for taking care of Maximus.

Donna: No worries. And congratulations on another good race

Donna hugs his son and notices that he hasn't shaved his beard in some time

Donna: Your beard...it's growing again.

Y/N looks at the mirror and sees his ginger beard slightly coming out

Y/N: Yeah...I need to shave. Don't get me wrong, I love this Paulsen genetic. But it itches a lot.

Donna: I'm also here to give you this.

She hands him an invitation

Donna: You're officially invited to a party at Rockfeller Center by none other than Tom Ford. And you got a plus one. Sunday.

She slightly giggles after saying that

Donna: Since my work here is done, I better get going. Oh...and keep Hailee around, okay? She's a great girl.

Donna winks at her son

Y/N just rolls his eyes as he sees his mother walk out the door

He then picks up his phone and calls Hailee

Needless to say that Y/N was nervous about how she would respond to his invitation

Hailee: Hey...I saw what happened in Saudi. Are you alright?

Y/N: Oh, I'm good. Things just got a little...chaotic. Sorry for not calling, by the way.

Hailee: You don't have to call me every time you're on race weekend, Y/N.

Y/N: Ouch. Anyway, I just got an invitation for a Tom Ford party Friday. Are you still in the Big Apple? 'Cause I got a plus one and I thought you'd might wanna come.

Hailee: I'll gladly be your plus one.

Y/N: Sweet...but what do you say we go out for dinner tomorrow? I'd invite you to go later tonight, but I'm jetlagged as hell.

Hailee: Dinner? Where?

Y/N: The Pierre hotel. Cotillon Ballrom.

Hailee: You're full of surprises, you know?

Y/N: Oh, I'm like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

This causes Hailee to laugh

Hailee: I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then...Maverick.

Y/N: Oh goddamnit...

He laughs at Hailee's comment

After that, Y/N calls Liam to organize a "poker night" between him and his friends. An old tradition they had ever since they finished high school


Liam's loft, Tribeca

Meanwhile, in Liam's apartment, Liam and Greer are making out under the covers and they laugh as they do so

After that, Liam's phone starts ringing

He then sees that it's Y/N calling him

Greer: Just ignore it.

Liam: He'll just call again.

He picks up his phone and answers it

Liam: What?

Y/N: By your attitude, I'm imagining that you're doing something freaky. Yuck...can't get it off head now.

He makes a vomiting sound over the phone to mock Liam

Y/N: Poker night. 8 P.M. I'm calling the boys. 

Liam: Cool.

Liam hangs up the phone and goes back to what he was doing


Later that day, Y/N and his friends are sitting by his poker table

Tony: So...how was all-out-war in Saudi Arabia?

Y/N chuckles

Y/N: Nothing too serious. Just some insurgents blowing up an Aramco factory. Raise.

He pushed some chips forward

Ian: And what would serious look like? I call.

Ian joked before pushing some chips of his own

Liam: Oh hell no, I fold. Shitty hand.

Michael also folded and puts his cards down alongside Liam

Michael: Not the first time you folded, honestly.

Michael chuckled as he joked about Liam and Greer's relationship

Meanwhile, Florian was messing on his phone due to the fact that he was the first to get busted

Florian: Let's not lose focus on the main event here, boys. Are we not gonna talk about Y/N going out with Bumblebee girl?

Y/N looked at Florian with a straight face

Y/N: Bumblebee girl. Seriously?

Michael: Yeah...don't you guys know he prefers that we call her Kate Bishop?

Y/N tilts his head

Y/N: Are you done? Because I'm all in. Ten thousand.

He pushes all his chips forward as Tony jokes

Tony: Of course you're all in. Oh...you're talking about poker.

Y/N: Watch it, Tony.

Y/N's other friends start folding as he reveals his other cards

Y/N: Thank you very much. All I had was ten-high.

Ian: I had Aces! Shit!

Y/N: I told you boys a million times. Poker isn't about playing the odds, it's about-

He gets cut off by all of the boys who say in unison:

"Playing the man"

Liam: We get it, your father taught you how to be a badass.

After that, Y/N just scoffs and throws a chip at Liam



The next morning, Liam ended up sleeping in his room at Y/N's penthouse

Y/N wakes up on his bed to Maximus barking

Y/N: Easy there, boy.

He pets the dog before getting up and heading downstairs

Y/N then sees Liam drinking coffee getting ready to leave

Y/N: Going somewhere?

Liam: I'm having breakfast with Greer and after that, I'm heading back home to get ready for work. My mom got me a job at her law firm. I start today.

Y/N: Wow, Mr. Harvard Law here has a job now. Congratulations.

They share a hug

Liam: We've come a long way together, Y/N.

Y/N: We have a good life, Liam.

Liam: May it never change. Have a good date with Hailee tonight...brother

Y/N: You too with Greer.

They make their secret ritual inspired by Lebron and Dwyane Wade before Liam leaves the penthouse

Liam: Go get her.


Y/N then decides to eat some breakfast before keeping up with his morning routine

He also calls his mother to help him choose an outfit for his date with Hailee tonight

After that, he decides to work out in his in-house gym

Y/N starts by doing his cardio by skipping rope for five minutes

After that, he goes on to work with his weights and punching the bag before doing some pull ups

In the end, he goes to his makiwara, an instrument used in martial arts like karate to build resistance in punches and kicks

The makiwara itself had blood stains from the time he was heartbroken from the break up with Darcy...but let's leave that for later





Later that day, Donna comes over to help him

Donna: So, where are you having dinner?

Y/N: The Pierre. It's nice there...there's Tango music.

Donna: I know...your father took me there once. Here, try this combination

She hands him a grey three-piece suit with a black shirt

Y/N: No tie? Who am I? Lucifer Morningstar?

Donna: You'll look great. Stop complaining.

He tries on the suit his mom picked for him

Y/N: How do I look?

Donna: Dashing. Can I take a picture?

He laughs

Y/N: Appreciate it, but no. And thanks mom...

After that, Y/N heads to his personal garage to choose something elegant to drive, but also something fast

He picks the keys to a beautiful Porsche 911 from 1980

Y/N then drives away to the restaurant


Hailee's POV:

I arrive at the restaurant and see that Y/N isn't there

After that, the maitre D comes over and talks to me

Maître: Excuse me, are you Ms. Hailee Steinfeld?

Hailee: Yes I am.

Maître: Mr. Specter called and told me to apologize on his behalf...

Don't tell me he isn't coming

Maître: He got stuck in traffic, said he'll take a while.

Hailee: Okay...I'll wait.

After 15 minutes, Y/N finally arrives

Y/N: Hey, sorry I'm late.

He kisses me on the cheek and sits down across me

Hailee: Don't worry, the margin of error is 20 minutes anyway. It's a nice place you've chosen.

Y/N: See that band over there by the dance floor? They play Tango once in a while.

We order our food and we eat

Hailee: That was really good, Y/N. Wow.

Y/N: Thanks for coming in the first place, Hailee.

We then hear the band playing the Tango and see some people heading for the dance floor

Hailee: They seem to be enjoying themselves.

Y/N: Do you Tango?

I chuckle

Hailee: No...no I don't.

Y/N: Would you...like to learn to Tango, Hailee?

This question catches me off guard

Hailee: Right...now?

Y/N: Absolutely. What do you say?

Hailee: I think I'd be a little afraid.

Y/N: Of what?

Hailee: Afraid of making a mistake.

He just smiles at me

Y/N: No mistakes in the Tango, Hailee. Not like life. That's what makes it beautiful. If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just Tango on. Why don't you try it?

I smile at him

Hailee: I'll give it a try, then.

I take his arm as we head to the dance floor.

https://youtu.be/F2zTd_YwTvo

Y/N puts his hand on my lower back and starts guiding me as we dance the Tango

For a moment there, I lose myself in Y/N's eyes as we dance

After a few seconds, I snap out of it as Y/N starts talking

Y/N: See? You were amazing.

Hailee: Thanks.

We then leave the restaurant and get in Y/N's car, a beautiful Porsche 911 and he gives me a ride back

The ride was quiet and peaceful

He then drops me off and opens the door for me

Hailee: I gotta say, I loved dancing with you.

I put my hair behind my ear

Y/N: See you Sunday, then?

Hailee: Of course.

I kiss him on the cheek before heading up

When I open the door to my apartment, I see Greer and Liam making out on the couch

Hailee: Oh God! What do you guys have with making out on other people's couch?!

I asked and laughed at them

Greer: Sorry Haiz.

Liam: That's my queue. Bye Hailee!

Liam said as he put his shirt on and left the apartment

Greer also puts her shirt back on and I already know she's gonna ask me about the night

Greer: So...how was it?

Hailee: You have no idea...
