“Okay, which one?” Daniella stood in front of Lando hold two dresses. “Black one or red one?”


Lando lifted up his head and looked at the dresses.


“Don’t you have a orange or papaya dress? Lando asked, acting serious.


“Orange is not my color Lando,” Daniella explained. She has tried it but only ended up looking like a fruit.


Lando laughed as he walked over to her . “The black one…you will look hot in that one.”


Daniella smirked as she tossed aside the red dress.


Lando leaned in to kiss her but she turned her head.


“We need to get ready, otherwise we will be late,” she placed a kiss on his cheek and ran to the bathroom to get ready.

Lando and Daniella arrived at the party together. She was wearing her sparkly black dress and Lando was just in his jeans and white shirt with his sleeves rolled up. At first Lando thought he is a bit underdressed but Daniella assured him that he looks hot and handsome and he trusted her words.


“The love birds are here,” Daniella excitedly said as he walked over to the couple.


“Shhh,” Daniella put her index finger on her lips and pulled Daniel aside.


Lando looked around to see no one heard Daniel.


“Sorry, I forgot,” Daniel gave a guilty look. “But I am so glad you two are here, I thought you two would rather have a party of your own in your room, if you know what I mean.”


Daniella’s eyes went wide and cheeks turned red.


“Mate, are you drunk already?” Lando asked his teammate.


“Just a little bit,” Daniel winked. “But I am not going to disturbed you two anymore…there is the bar,” he pointed at the direction where some drivers are waiting for their drinks. “And there is the dance floor…enjoy.”


He went back to the dance floor and the couple sighed in relief.

Pierre froze as soon as his eyes landed on Daniella. He can’t help but look at her, but jealousy soon took over when he saw Lando next to her.


The duo was talking to Carlos, but soon separated as Mick took Daniella to get a drink and Lando stayed with Carlos.


“Tonight is your chance mate,” Charles patted Pierre’s back as he continued looking at Daniella.


Pierre nodded before finishing his drink in one gulp. He has made up his mind about confessing his feelings.

“I will be right back,” Daniella informed Mick as she showed her phone to him, her sister is calling.


“Okay,” Mick nodded. “I will be over there with Lance.”


Daniella smiled as she took her drink and walked outside.


“What is it Collins?” she answered her phone.


As Daniella talked to her sister on the phone Pierre came out looking for her.


“I will pick you up first thing in the morning, I promise,” Daniella told her sister who is not able to adjust properly st her uncle’s house. “I have to go now, bye.”


Daniella ended the call and let out a deep breath, before taking a sip of her drink.


“Hey,” Pierre approached her.


Daniella quickly turned around, coming face to face with Pierre and spilling her drink on him.


“I am so sorry,” She apologized as she tried to clean his shirt.


“Its okay,” Pierre replied. “Its totally fine Dani.” He hold her wrist to make her stop and look at him.


Daniella nodded as she pulled her hand away from his grip.


“What are you doing out here?” she asked as everyone is inside enjoying the party.


“I came out here looking for you,” Pierre replied honestly. “I have…I have to tell you something.”


“Pierre, let me stop you right there,” Daniella politely said, as she has a feeling what he is going to say.


“Please don’t,” he shook his head.


Daniella’s heart started beating faster as she tried to look away from him.


“I know I ruined my chances with you and I blame myself for it every day…but…”


“Pierre, please don’t,” Daniella begged.


He didn’t listen to her and let out a nervous breath.


“I love you,” he looked her in the eyes. “I love you a lot…like it actually aches my heart when I see you with Lando all the time. I never…I never thought feeling something so strong is possible but…I love you.” He let out a deep breath, feeling somewhat light in his chest. “I tried to move on, I really did, but instead I fell more and more in love with you every day.”


Daniella breathing got heavy.
 


He took a step forward and leaned in to kiss her but she took a step back.


There was desperation in Pierre’s eyes with a hint of hope. “Please say something…”


Daniella was finally able to tore her eyes from Pierre and looked past him, and her heart skipped a beat.


Lando was standing there, anger was visible all over his face.


Pierre followed her gaze and turned around, immediately his jaw clenched and fists closed tight.


“Lando don’t,” Daniella quickly stood in front of Pierre as Lando angrily approached.


Lando raised his hand to hit Pierre but stopped immediately when Daniella came in between.


“Move aside Ella,” Lando glared at Pierre, who looked ready to fight.


“No,” she put her hands on his chest and pushed him back. “You are not thinking clearly…”


“You are trying to protect him?” he looked at his girlfriend.


“No, I am stopping you from making a mistake.”


Pierre didn’t say anything as he watched Daniella trying to stop Lando from hitting him, but he is ready to throw a punch back.


“Please calm down,” Daniella pleaded.


“Calm down? How can I calm down when he tried to kiss you?”


“Lando please…”


“Are you afraid that she is going to choose me over you?” Pierre provoked, with the help of the liquid courage he had earlier.


“Shut up,” Lando got even more angry.


“You do know that we kissed while we were dating, right?” Pierre smirked.


Lando saw red and pushed Daniella to the side before punching Pierre on the face.


Pierre raised his hand too but once again Daniella came between them.


His eyes soften as he saw tears pricking through her eyes.


“Please don’t make this worse…” She begged.


He lowered his hand and touched his busted lips. He chuckled when he saw the blood on his finger before looking back at Daniella.


“We are leaving,” Lando sternly said as he grabbed her wrist.


Pierre wanted to stop her but restrained himself as he watched the girl he loves walk away with Lando.


Daniella turned to look at him as he gave her a smile filled with sadness.

A/N: If only it was a Pierre Gasly book...like 60% of me is rooting for Pierre now.


I feel like it's very out of character for Lando to hit someone, but its a fanfic so...
