as I rolled my eyes looking at the amount of kisses my mum sent I heard my phone bleep again, this time is was from someone who had lightened my mood a bit!
Daniel
Daniel: hey i'm at the airport, I miss you ❤️
me: I miss you too, please be careful this weekend racing xx
Daniel: I will but only if you promise to focus on showjumping too xx

I arrived at the restaurant and saw my parents sitting down. I glanced over at them as I sat down
"oh sweetie you look perfect" my mother said as I took a seat, I smiled in return
"so where did Daniel have to go" my father asked
"oh um hes a professional formula one driver so he had to go to Mexico to race this weekend" I said nervously as I smiled through the awkwardness
"oh wow, so is this a friend or is there something there" my mum replied whilst laughing
I laughed back as I replied in a smile "uh no dans actually now my boyfriend"
"oh sweetie im so happy for you, you made a good choice too, hes famous" my mum said as she winked at me and laughed
the first time in a while I had actually felt happy with my parents and I guess giving them a chance really did help, but I couldn't help but think of Daniel and I know how much he wanted me to focus but it made me even more crazy about him.
-2 days later-
as the plane landed in hot, sunny Abu Dhabi my game face was on, luckily Daniels qualifying race was on the same time as my flight so I watched the whole thing, Daniel ended up P7 which I think was good, I mean I was no expert but he looked happy on the cameras.

only Olivia came with me to this show as Bella had family emergencies to attend so I guess it was just nick, Olivia and i, as Olivia and I walked through the airport and out the doors waiting for a taxi she turned to me to say
"so how's you and lover boy"
"we are good but I miss him" I replied
"I know, I can tell" she said laughing as she slumped and sat down
"we have been sitting down for 17 hrs, how are you needing to sit down" I said as I joked around with her
"a girl gotta take a moment" Olivia replied as she laughed and put our bags into the taxi that had just turned up for us
