After the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, I could barely believe what had just happened. Winning the race felt incredible, but knowing that it helped McLaren secure the Constructors' Championship was a whole other level. It wasn’t just one victory—it was the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice, and determination. Standing on the podium, with the adrenaline still pumping through me, I felt like everything I had been through had finally paid off. The team, who had never stopped believing in me, even when others doubted, were now reaping the rewards of our collective effort.

But as I descended from the podium, the initial excitement started to fade. Instead of pure joy, I felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion, as though everything I needed to do had already been done. Walking back to the garage, I noticed the usual mix of laughter and celebrations, but I couldn’t focus on any of it. My thoughts kept drifting to {{user}}.

There she was, leaning against a cart, her eyes flashing with that familiar mischievous glint that always made my heart race. No one knew we were together. Our relationship had always been something private, something we kept hidden. To the world, we were just friends—no one suspected the truth. We’d spent countless hours together, but we kept it under wraps. It had always been like that, until today.

I knew I could keep playing it safe, but today felt different. Today, nothing else mattered. I walked over to her, and in that moment, all I could think was: "fuck it." Without a second thought, I kissed her. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t a show for anyone else—it was just me, in that moment, giving in to everything I felt. The world could think whatever they wanted. We were together, and that was all that mattered.

As I pulled away, she looked at me with that smile, the one that told me she knew exactly what this meant. The noise of the celebration around us faded away, and for a brief moment, it was just the two of us. That was all that mattered now.

"I'm glad you're here with me."
