"So where are you taking me?" I say tying my shoe laces.
"That's a Surprise" he smiles.
We talk as he drives to the surprise destination.
"The beach?" I giggle.
"Sunset walk on the beach" he laughs reminding both of us of our first agreement.
"Touché" I say grabbing his hand he held out for me to hold.
"Sunset is in an hour, so we got a long walk ahead of us" he smiles
"You realize my small legs can't walk for long"
"Don't start complaining already, we haven't even made it onto the beach yet" he giggles pulling me along with him as he guides me to the beach shore.
"All jokes aside this is really nice"
"I thought you'd like it, plus I can't go wrong taking you to watch the sky, you watch the sky as some form of fun"
"Leave me alone, the sky is underrated" I playfully push him not letting go of his hand that is gripped in mine.
We walk for 40 minutes along the beach talking and giggling, socking up every moment of each others presents.
"Sit? To watch the sunset" lando says sitting down on the sand.
"I'm a dress? I'll stand" I giggle refusing his offer.
"Sit down you muppet"
"I refuse to be the reason your fancy McLaren gets ruined with stand, plus I'm not a fan of stand in areas I don't want sand." I giggle.
In seconds I feel lando grip my waist lightly pulling me to sit on his lap.
"Is there sand on you, or in your or what ever you where trying to say" he giggles
"Shut up" I say laughing at his comment as I sit comfortably on his lap, with no sand touching my bare skin.
We sit and watch the sky in silence, not awkward silence, just silence, enjoying the moment.
"I've missed this" he whispers just loud enough for me to hear.
"The sunset?" I question confused.
"No" he laughs "us, just being together, with each other, no other worries, just us"
"Me too" I smiles tilting my head back to face him, softly pressing a kiss on his delicate lips.
"When we- amm when we go back to England are you- are we going to stay like this or go back to not talking again?" He asks shyly almost scared of the answer.
"Stay like this, please. Unless you don't want to" I say.
"Of course I want to" he smiles pecking my lips again before I turn to watch the sun finally disappear on the horizon of the beach.
I quickly take out my phone and capture the moment in a picture before it's too late.
"Can I tag you?" I ask lando questioning if I can tag him on my Instagram story.
"What is it" he asks.
"Just an insta story"
"I mean, you can, if you want to make us public, I don't mind ya" he smiles.Once the sun fully sets the sea breeze becomes stronger, still not cold considering summer in Monte Carlo was always warm. We sit a moment longer not wanting it to end.
"Eh- y/n" lando says hesitating.
"Ya, what's wrong?" I ask with a worried look seeing the fear on his face.
"I- erm I wanted to ask you something"
"Ya, go ahead" I say intrigued to what he wanted to say, I've never seen him so shy before, he was always full of confidence, making jokes and laughing. Seeing him worried made me wonder if I did something wrong. It was the most nerve racking feeling.
"I eh- fuck why am I so bad at this" he giggled. Making me feel better to see the worried fearful look disappear off his face, starting to go back to his bubbly self.
"Take your time" I laugh with him.
"Your not helping stop laughing at me" he says playfully pushing me off his lap but quickly grabbing me so I don't fall into the sand.
For a moment we laugh with each other before silence overtakes again.
"Sooo- you where saying...?" I ask still waiting for him to talk.
"I want to ask you something but I can't, my mount won't let me say it" he giggles nervously.
"Ok then, ready to go so?" I say getting ready to get up. I feel his grip on my waist tighten a little.
"No" he blurts.
"Want to sit in silence in the dark on a beach?" I giggle.
"I hate you" he giggles "I'm trying to ask you something and your being impatient, just give me a moment to gather my words" he continued.
"Gather your words then, become Shakespeare"
A moment of silence falls as I wait for him to talk again.
"I'm so bad at this"
"Bad at what lando? Just speak fucking hell you never shut up and now I can't even get you to form a sentence"
"I wanted this to be romantic and cute but I'm so bad at this and I'm not a poet I can't even pronounce stat- statistacts- statistics or what ever it is never mind come up with a Romantic paragraph, so fuck it, be my girlfriend? Officially? Be mine, like really mine" he blurts out in one breath.
"Statistics lando it's not that hard"
"Really? After that you're going to just correct my grammar and not answer my question"
"Yes, no I mean I'm not ignoring your question, my answer is yes, yes I'll be your official girlfriend or what ever"
"Or what ever, your romantic" he says giggley.
"You pronounced statistics wrong 3 times in the same sentence that you asked me out, don't judge me on how romantic I am"
"Kiss me" he blurts not even listening to what I'm saying anymore.
"We are in public" I laugh
"It's a kiss, it's not like I'm asking you to strip naked and fuc-"
"Lando norris do not finish that sentence" I say cutting him off.
"Fuck me on a beach" he says giggling leaning in gently placing his lips over mine. A kiss so soft and innocent yet filled with so much love and passion.
We both pull away from the kiss at the same time to catch our breaths.
"We should go" I suggest
"Yes, yes we should" he says wrapping his hands around my waist again and lifting me up as he standing up.
"I can walk"
"You said your little legs can't walk much, so I'll carry you and your little legs"
I don't refuse his offer as I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, placing my head on his shoulder.
"Tired?" Lando asks as I get comfy in his arms.
"Very, I won't lie, it's been a long weekend. And Daniel is not easy to work for"
"See I was nice to you, I gave you and easy time" he says smiling.
"Emily's so lucky, you don't boss people around like Daniel does"
"Oh no, I boss Emily around, I was just different wit you. I mean not everyday the love fo our life is telling you what to do both at home and at work"
"Love of your life huh" I smiles lifting my head off his shoulder to look at him.
"Love" he kisses me softly "of" he says before pecking my lips again "my" pecking another kiss on my lips "lifeeee" he says placing a more firm kiss on my lips.
"il mio amore per sempre" (my love, forever)
I say not expecting him to know Italian
"sempre e per sempre" (forever and always)
He replies with a smile.
"You know Italian?" I say in shock.
"Not a lot but a little" he smiles putting me down as we reach the car and drive back to the hotel.
