Everything happened so quickly. Just yesterday, the FIA announced the Italian Grand Prix was canceled due to floods in Imola. The drivers wasted no time making new plans, and Lewis offered to host everyone at his beach house villa in Ibiza.

Naturally, all the WAGs joined their boyfriends, and when Lewis insisted, Mila couldn't say 'no' to one of her childhood crushes.

Right now, Mila was running on just two hours of sleep as she boarded Max Verstappen's private jet with Lando, Max, Kelly, Charles, and Daniel.

"Thanks for letting us tag along, Max," Mila said, taking her seat next to Lando, who was by the window. Daniel sat across from them.

"Don't mention it, Mila," Max replied politely as he, Kelly, and Penelope took their usual seats in the back.

"Sorry you had to wake up so early," Lando mumbled as Mila put on her seatbelt.

"Don't worry about it, LanLan," she mumbled, still sleepy as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"LanLan?" Lando chuckled. Mila hummed in response, closing her eyes, ready to fall back to sleep.

"Do you want to lie down in the back after we take off?" Lando asked her. She shook her head no.

"I'm okay here," she said with a small smile as she hugged his arm. Lando smiled at her sleepy words, gently pushing back the hair covering her face to help her sleep peacefully for the rest of the flight.

Lando didn't realize when he fell asleep, but he was jolted awake by turbulence. Opening his eyes quickly, he noticed it was raining a bit. Looking beside him, he saw Mila curled up in her seat, shivering in her sleep.

He spotted a spare blanket on the empty seat beside Daniel. As he tried to get up to grab it, Mila's grip on his arm tightened.

"No, don't go," she whined in her sleep. Lando smiled adoringly.

"I'm just going to grab the blanket for you, Lani," he whispered. When Mila subconsciously tightened her grip even more, he sighed and gave up.

Slowly extending his foot, he kicked Daniel to wake him up. After a few kicks, Daniel jolted awake. "What, man?" he grumbled.

"Sorry, can you pass the blanket?" Lando whispered. Daniel looked at him with an exasperated expression.

"Why didn't you get up and take it?" Daniel said grumpily, tossing the blanket at Lando's face.

"Thanks, man," Lando replied, opening the blanket with one free hand and spreading it over Mila and himself, making sure to tuck it around her sides so she wasn't cold anymore.

Now awake, Daniel watched their interaction and sighed. "I miss Heidi," he frowned.

"Isn't she coming?" Lando asked.

"Yeah, but she's got filming, so she'll only stay for two days," Daniel frowned.

"Sucks to be you, man," Lando laughed as Daniel glared at him.

"Yeah, you say that now that you have your girl all cuddled up next to you," Daniel rolled his eyes. "She's cute, though. Really nice too."

"Yeah, she is," Lando replied with a proud and happy smile, glancing at Mila's peaceful face as she slept on his arm.

Having her this close made him feel something strange in his stomach and chest. Maybe it was the turbulence, he told himself. What else could it be?

Hours later, Mila was gently awakened by bright light shining through the plane window. She realized it was morning and she had somehow slept through the entire flight.

"Lani, we're going to land soon, love," she heard Lando's soft voice. Turning, she found their faces inches apart.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," Lando smiled at her. She smiled back, finally letting go of his arm and rubbing her eyes.

"How long was I asleep?" she asked in a sleepy voice.

"The entire flight, pretty much," Daniel chimed in, sitting opposite her and eating peanuts.

"Do you want some water?" an air hostess asked Mila. She nodded, mumbling a 'thank you' as she gulped down the water.

"How much longer are we flying?" Charles sighed from the seats behind hers.

"One more hour," Max replied as Daniel pulled out a pack of cards.

"Let's play a match," he suggested with a grin. Mila and Lando nodded.

Daniel shuffled the cards and handed three to each of them. By the third round, Mila was losing every time, with Lando consistently calling her bluff.

"Okay, enough. Move," she pushed Lando off his seat. "You're seeing my cards somehow."

"How would I see your cards?" Lando laughed as he stumbled to the seat next to Daniel.

"I don't know how, but I know you are," she grumbled, still losing the next round.

"How did you know?!" she exclaimed as Lando called her bluff again.

"I guess I just know you that well, love," he laughed, returning to his seat and leaving a small kiss on her forehead.

"Cheater," Mila accused. Lando gasped.

"Take that back," he said. Mila shook her head.

"I said, take that back!" Lando repeated, starting to tickle Mila.

"No!" Mila exclaimed between laughs. Suddenly, Penelope joined in, tickling Mila with Lando and laughing along.

"No, P, you're supposed to be on my team!" Mila yelled. "Don't help him. He's a cheater!"

"Stop calling me that!" Lando laughed as Daniel took pictures of the interaction, sending them to the drivers' group chat.

The tickling and play-fighting only stopped when Max intervened, informing them they'd be landing in 15 minutes.

Now, Mila's feet were resting on Lando's lap as she scrolled on her phone, while Lando looked out of the window. Both were anticipating their first holiday as a 'couple'.

They wondered if being around the drivers for so many days might make them catch on to their lie, or if they could deceive them long enough. Either way, they were excited to be in Ibiza and looked forward to a break in their busy schedules.
