"Remind me again why did we go home for just one day?" Lando asked Daniella as they landed in Brazil and are now on their way out of the airport.


"Because I forgot about the triple header and didn't pack enough clothes," Daniella replied in an obvious tone. "You didn't have to go back home with me."


"Then I would have missed out a lot," he winked, implying their previous night.


A red tint appeared on Daniella's face as she tried not to smile.


Lando grabbed her hand when he noticed the crowd of fans and reporters approaching them. Both stopped to take a few photos with fans and signed some autographs but once more people gathered they had to leave.


Obviously, the question of whether they were dating or not was thrown to them but they ignored it and quickly went to find the car waiting for them outside.


"So I am meeting Carlos later," Lando said as they settled in the car. "Do you want to join us?"


"I can't," she shook her head. "I am meeting with Mick and Seb, remember? Oh god! They will both hound me with questions about us dating."


"I don't get where they got that idea, I mean you and I are just friends, right?" Lando sarcastically said before giving her a cheeky grin.

"Did we order too much food?" Mick asked, confusion written on his face as the waiter placed their food on the table.


"I think we did," Daniella replied, her expression same as Mick. Both wanted to try different dishes, and despite Sebastian's advice they ended up ordering half the menu.


Daniella and Mick looked at Sebastian who was giving them the 'I told you so look'.


"Since you are the responsible one, you will pay for our dinner," Daniella quickly said before signaling Mick to dig in.


"Woah! I never agreed to that," Sebastian protested. "You two were the ones who dragged me here.


"As if you didn't want to join us," Mick replied with his mouth full.


Daniella nodded, agreeing with Mick.


"Close your mouth and chew your food properly," Sebastian told the younger drivers before starting to eat.


When the bill came Mick and Daniella were nowhere to be found and Sebastian did end up paying for dinner.


"Karma is a bitch, remember that you two," he scolded the duo who were laughing and waiting for him by the car.


"Language Seb," Daniella laughed.

"What do you think?" Lando asked Carlos as he showed him photos of the house. He finally decided on a house in Woking that he thinks will be best for him and Daniella.


"Beautiful house, but why are you showing it to me?" Carlos asked as he scrolled through the photos.


"I am thinking of buying it...for me and Ella," Lando shyly explained.


Carlos looked up and blinked a few times.


"Okay, I hope you realize that you never told me you two are dating, which I knew for a very long time by the way, but now you are telling me you two are going to live together?" Carlos looked at him in disbelief.


Lando realized that he never told Carlos about him and Daniella being together but he has discussed all the small disagreements and amazing times he had with Daniella, which of course made it obvious for Carlos.


"Actually umm...we are already living together," he stuttered. It has already been a few months."


"What!?" Carlos excitedly jumped and hugged Lando. "And you kept saying that you can't get a girlfriend."


"No..I kept saying that I can't get Daniella...but now I have her," he proudly smiled.


"But seriously though, are you ready for such a big commitment?" Carlos asked the younger driver. "Getting a house together is a huge step."


"I am ready," Lando replied instantly. "We both talked about it and we are on the same page."
