16

The first thing Daniella saw when she opened her eyes in the morning is Lando sleeping. His face looking peaceful, curls little messed up and his hand lightly holding one of her hands. Daniella smiled at the sight and gently touched the side of his face.


Things are changing between them and she can feel it, not sure if Lando feels the same or not. They are getting more close, closer than normal best friends are and she is not sure how it will end.


She carefully pulled her hand from his and got out of bed. She quickly washed up and decided to make breakfast for both of them.


While preparing breakfast she checked her phone, McLaren has issued a statement last night and now everyone knows, all waiting for Lando to say something regarding what happened.


“Morning,” a sleepy Lando walked into the kitchen and got himself a glass of water.


“Hey,” Daniella put down her phone. “Are you feeling better?”


Lando nodded as he took a seat. “Thanks for staying last night.”


“Anything for you,” she smiled and gave his hand a light squeeze.


They both had breakfast while Lando explained in details what happened after the match. He is still feeling guilty about the watch. He cherished it a lot as it was a gift from Daniella.


“Stop thinking about the watch,” Daniella said. “I could have gotten seriously hurt.”


“I know,” Lando nodded as he looked at her. “I you gave me that watch, it was very special to me.”


“I will buy you two more watch,” she lightly jokes as she took the plates and put it in the sink. “You know, everyone is talking about you and what happened last night.”


“Yeah. And Charlotte wants me to post something stating I am fine.”


“You better post that quickly, your fans are going crazy.”

Daniella spent the entire day with Lando, just having a lazy relaxing day. She made Lando promise to call her if he needs anything or if he doesn’t want to be alone.


She is now in her own bed ready to fall asleep. Her phone has been beeping with notification since Lando posted a story on instagram that he is okay, followed by a photo of him and Daniella having lunch thanking her for staying with him. Both their mutual friends have been calling her to check if he is doing okay.


She was about to put down her phone and sleep but it started ringing again, a facetime call from Lando which she immediately accept.


“Hey,” she smiled. “What happened?”


“Nothing happened.” Lando was also lying on his bed. “I just missed you.”


“I just left two hours ago Lan,” Daniella laughed, running her fingers through her hair.


“You said to call you if I need anything.”


“Okay…so what do you need?”


“I can’t fall asleep,” Lando gave a moody look. He wish Daniella was there with him now, running her fingers through his curls like she did last night.


“You want me to sing a lullaby or something?”


“No, just talk to me.”


“Okay,” Daniella positioned herself comfortably in her bed. “What do you want to talk about?”


“I don’t know, let’s talk about your birthday,” Lando smiled.


Daniella playful rolled her eyes and smiled. “And suddenly I feel like we are 10 again.”


Both spent about an hour chatting. Daniella was the first one to doze off, Lando smiled as he realized she fell asleep. Her long stands of hair falling on her face, making Lando wish he was there to remove the strands from her face. He quickly took a screenshot to tease her later before whispering good night and cutting the call.


It took Lando another hour to finally fall asleep, unable to remove the thoughts about Daniella from his mind. He needs to make his move soon before someone else realize how special she is and tries to take her away from him.
