Y/n Pov-
We sat in the car in silence for what seems like the longest ten minutes of my life. I wanted to give him space, that's what he needed, he was too hotheaded. I wasn't angry at him, I get it, he's human. He has feelings and I need to respect that but sitting next to him in a car in silence made for unwanted tension. I contemplated on talking to him but I deiced not to, mainly because I didn't want to make him even more angry than he already was."How was your flight?" He breaks the silence in the most innocent and caring voice I've ever heard.
"Nerve racking" I whisper back looking down at my hands while I play with the hair tie on my wrist.
"Why are you still nervous?" He asked still calmly as he notices me playing with the hair tie.
"I- I don't know" I answer honestly, maybe it was because I didn't want to make him angrier and I didn't know what to say or maybe the fact he was talking to me finally just made me nervous.
He didn't say anything but in response he held my hand in his tracing small circles on my palm with his thumb, the same way he does when I'm nervous on a flight. His touch instantly made me calmer, it made me feel safe. My breathing slowly got lighter and my body released into a calmer position sitting more comfy in the seat than before.
"What time is sunset?"
"I'm not sure why" I ask confused.
"I want to watch it with you" he smiles at me while tightening his grip on my hand. I take out my phone and look up what time the sunset in England was.
"9:45" I smile back.
"And what time is it now?"
"5:20"
"So we have just over 4 hours?" He questions knowing he's bad at maths, well he's bad at most academic things really.
"Yup" I smile.
"The beach is like just under an hour drive, we could go there, or we could go to London center" he suggests.
"The beach" I smile a stupid overly happy smile.
"It's a date" he winks with the same stupid smile I have on his face.
Once we get home I drop my bags in the spare room that has somehow turned into my closet and run straight to the shower. Lando and I agreed to dress nice, casual but still cute. I shower quickly and go get ready. I leave out the makeup part considering it was kind of warm out and I didn't want to sweat it all off, I didn't put some mascara and lip balm on thought. I left my hair fall over my shoulders naturally and put on a summer dress with some white trainers.
Outfit:Once I'm fully ready I look at the clock, 7:30pm.
I walk out to find Lando to see if he's ready to go and when I walk into the kitchen I see a bunch of flowers and a jewelry box on the kitchen table with a note next to it. Lando stands behind the table with a childish smile across his lips.
"What have you done" I giggle as I pick up the note to read it.
"Just read it" he giggles back.The note:
Because I was being a moody fucker all day, here's my way of saying sorry, a reminder that I still and always will love you, even if it doesn't seem like it. Niet neuken in de keuken xx.
I can feel tears forming in my eyes as I read the short note, it wasn't even romantic but knowing Lando isn't good with opening up about his feelings and the fact he has with me it makes me feel special.
"Don't cry" he giggles at me.
"Fuck you I'm not crying." I giggle back whipping the tears away from under my eyes as he pulls me into a hug.
"Open the box" he says placing a kiss on my temple.
"I'm nervous, what is it" I say picking up the box slowly.
"It's cliche, very very fucking cliche but I think you'll like it" he smiles.
I open the box and see a gold bracelet with small diamonds on it, in the middle it has 'Lando' on it.
"My first, until I can, what's that saying, giving you my last name, no giving you my first name... fuck you know what I mean" he giggles.
"Giving me your first name until you can give me your last?" I question if that's what he meant to say.
"That's it, yes that cringey and cliche shit" he says as I take it bracelet out of the box. "You like it?" He asks.
"Love it" I smile holding it out for him to put it on me.
"What have you done to me, buying a bracelet with my name on it, what the fuck have I turned into" he giggley rolls his eyes as he clasps the bracelet around my wrist.
"Your in lovvveeeee" I laugh dragging out the last word.
"Shut up and get in the car before we're late" he laughs back at me as he pushes my out the door by my shoulders gently.
"You know, you made this really romantic jester and got all cute writing notes and stuff, but you are still really bad at this whole romantic love language" I add getting into the car.
"Love language? You want me to speak Dutch to you?" He laughs referring to Jon calling Dutch our love language.
"Shut up and drive" I roll my eyes.
Once we get to the beach we walk romantically hand in hand along the water line. I may have forced Lando into it and he did say no at least 4 times but he finally gave in. Once we the sun starts to set Lando refuses to walk anymore and makes me sit down, but me being me, I refuse to sit bare legged on the sand. Sitting on his lap watching the sunset seems to become my new normal. I feel at every chance we get we are watching the sunset with eachother, from the very first night we met nearly a year ago, up until right now.
"We should get a cat" I blurt out turning to face him.
"No" he demands straight away.
"Why" I give him puppy eyes.
"Stop with the eyes, we aren't getting a cat" he says looking away from me.
"Look at me" I say pulling his face back to face mine again.
"Stop with the wide puppy eyes then, I can't say no when you do that shit" and with that I close my eyes.
"Better?" I ask.
"No open your eyes, just normally" he laughs. I open my eyes and look at him normally.
"Can we please buy a kitten" I whisper.
"No" he smiles.
"Why not" I say in a childish voice.
"I don't like cats"
"So a puppy" I smile.
"No"
"Why you like dogs"
"No I do not, look at Uno, he hates me"
"That's uno" I roll my eyes
"No we aren't getting any pets" he adds
"Why not" I say sadly.
"We aren't home often enough to have pets" he explains. He has a point, we are rarely home.
"But I want to have something. Like a pet or a baby"
"A baby?" He says shocked.
"Yes but we can't do that until we are older, so can we get a pet" I say making puppy eyes again.
"We can get a teddy bear" he smiles.
"Yes" I agree straight away, a teddy is like a carefree, noise free pet that we can bring everywhere with us. We are getting a teddy.
"I'm going to be a mommy" I yell happily.
"It's a fucking teddy bear" he laughs.
"Our teddy bear" I say pouting. In response he pulls me closer to his chest rolling his eyes.
"Your a child" he giggles.
