Lando's POV:
Today we had so much fun. Sophia decided it'll be fun to stream too, which would be so much fun, so we bought streaming basics and we set up next door to each other, in the office. That way, Sophia could use the monitors in there for work calls and emails, and she didn't have to go into the base all the time, giving her a more flexible schedule. She decided she was going in with her mother this time, and the officially co-owned the mafia business, which was really great. Sophia would do the travelling to meetings when she could and her mum would manage staff and work more remotely from the base. We sent out a link on twitter, all 5 of us, pleading people to follow Sophia's new twitch, and she gained followers pretty quickly.
"Hi chat, long time no see! How are we all?" I said, smiling into the camera. "So as you probably could tell from the stream title, we'll be doing a Squad Stream, with all 5 of us, and we'll be playing a bit of a Q&A style thing, and then we're going to put on Ria's and Steve's vlogs from our in person quadrant video, a bit of behind the scenes and what we did after. So whilst the others are getting their intro's done, please feel free to use the little question mark button and submit question, and I'll pick a couple to answer."
As I finished that, my phone lit up, and I smiled at the sight. I had changed her name to 'Mi amour' which meant 'my love' in Spanish. I had no clue but Sophia was born in Madrid, and then when she was 6 she moved to England. Her parents were British, so she was multi-lingual, speaking Spanish at school and English at home. I learnt some Spanish from her, just the basic thing's, and we often messaged in the beautiful language.
Mi amour <3
In chat now, everything seems fine so far, everyone seems to be behaving for now, but we'll see when we get into the questions lmao xx
I quickly replied, as I could see Aarava and Niran were finishing up their intro's.
Gracias, te amo xx <3
I looked back up to the camera, turning off my phone screen as I did, and Aarava finished his intro, as well as Niran. "Hi guy's how are we?" I asked. "Still recovering from a hangover mate, viewers, you'll understand in the vlogs. Anyway, how are you?"
"I'm great thanks, we just got home and went straight to bed to be honest, we were drunk." They knew that was a lie, because I had seen the footage Ria got and yes, they caught me dancing with my 'amigos' Sophia. We all made up a story, and we all decided to go along with it. Then Sophia messaged me again, asking if I could come and join them in my streaming room. We added her to the quadrant group chat, and everyone was asking why she was longing permission to join them. I heard her run up the stairs, and I opened my door, letting her in. She was wrapped up in a blanket, with her underneath wearing one of my jumpers and jogging bottoms. She dragged over the gaming chair from the corner, and brought it next to mine. "Hi guys, I'm crashing your stream because I can," she said laughing, making me smile. I could hear Ria through my headset, as I connected her's up to the monitor. "Hi guys how are we?" Sophia asked, everyone recognising her voice on the discord. They all cheered at the sound of her voice, making us laugh. "Right chat, get the questions in." I said. "Ok first one, what's coming in Spring 2021 with Quadrant. You said something about looking forward to launching something with the team. Well you'll have to wait and see I guess," I said winking at the camera, as Sophia looked at me, wide eyed and smiling. "Sophia someone in my chat has a question for you," said Ria. "Fire away!" Sophia said. Her faced looked surprised at the fact she had a question. "Will you be featured in some Quadrant videos?" Ria asked, and I smiled knowing the truth. "In the near future I might be," she responded. After about an hour, it was time for the vlog. "Chat, we're gonna come off the discord and explain it to you guys." We watched Steve's vlog first. "This shop, was 1000000% my style of clothes. Like seriously, look at them. It's me as a shop." We both laughed at the club part, and it was time for Ria's Vlog. The one me and Sophia were both nervous for. We both snuck under the blanket, keeping our bodies warm, whilst holding hands underneath it. We could do it discreetly. We looked at each other dead in the eye, then back at the camera, then dead in the eye again. Oh how I could kiss her right now. No, Lando, you can't. We both nodded and began the video. "You weren't joking when you said you went to a wedding dress shop huh?" I said, a puzzled look on my face. "Nope, and the owner is so sweet. Guys go check out yourstrulyboutique on Instagram, they have some beautiful dresses. The chat was admiring her beauty as I began to comment on it. "You look so beautiful in that dress Sophia. Seriously, absolutely stunning!"
"Thank you Lando. You weren't too shabby yourself in that store." It cut to the footage Sophia sent Ria with me posing with the Quadrant billboard. My face was pure shock. "You actually send that?" I said laughing my head off. "Of course I did! Got to plug the brand in somewhere don't I?"
The video then got to her and Ria on the tube. She filmed Sophia smiling at her phone. "What are you smiling at Sophia?" Ria asked in the video. "Oh just ***********". The long noise of a bleep came up, and I felt relieved, letting out a quiet sigh, as well as Sophia. I began to read chat. "Who was she texting? Me, obviously," I said sassy, knowing it was the truth but wanted some humour in there. It absolutely sent Sophia, and she began crying with laughter at my diva behaviour. "Guys respect her privacy please, although, I want to know who after this? Deal?" I asked. She shook my hand rather encouragingly. "Deal."
It cut to the club. Shit, here we go. There was lots of videos of the club itself. Then a few photo's of Ria and us, including the one I took and posted on Instagram. And it cut to the dancefloor, and me and Sophia dancing our hearts out. I paused the video. "Aright chat, can I just say we just wanted a good time alright. We aren't dating.......yet." I muttered the yet so very few people heard, and Sophia turned to me to act shocked. "Anyways, we're gonna head off, see you soon chat. Peace and Love!!!"
"Now we know that's over and there's no red light on..." I said as she began to close the gap to push her lips onto mine. "Come to Abu Dhabi with me, pleaseeeee?"
"Of course I would Lando," she said, kissing my lips, whilst I scooped her up and carried her to bed, where we fell into a deep sombre.
