For what it's worth

Chapter 48

"I told him I was single" I whisper feeling bad resting my head on Landos shoulder. I can feel his whole body tense up when he realizes what I just said.

Without saying anything he walks to the car and starts driving to the hotel in silence.
"Are you not going to say anything?" I ask.
"No, your drunk I'm not having this conversation with you drunk" he explains calming.
"I am not drunk" I try to say as convincing as possible.
"You can't even walk" Lando giggles.
"Yes I can, watch me, stop the car I want to show you how good I am at walking" I state.
"Not happening" he says still giggling.
"I want to walk" I pout.
"No"
"Yes"
"Nope"
"Please"
"No"
"Please" I say in a childish voice.
"Fine then" he says pulling into an empty car park in front of a store.

"Go walk" he giggles opening the door for me.
"I will, I've been practicing for this my whole life" I state proudly.
"This is your time to shine" Lando leans against the front of the car with his arms crossed giggling waiting for me to start walking.
"Just let me get my balance wait, I've got this" I say trying to stand up straight.
"You're doing great" he laughs.
"Give me a second, stop laughing" I say taking a deep breath, with that I take a step forwards trying my best not to fall straight onto my face.
"Your doing so good, I'm glad I could be here to see your first steps" he says now nearly crying laughing.
"Your not funny stop laughing at yourself" I giggle nearly falling over myself.
"Careful there" he giggles raising his eyebrows.
"Shut up sunshine" I say sarcastically turning to face him but end up losing my balance and falling.
"That's Karma for calling me sunshine" he laughs helping me up.
"That hurt" I pout rubbing my knee that was sore.
"Walk it off" he says laughing proudly at his come back.
"Dipshit" I pout.
"Sunshine" he says in a girly voice as he walks closer to me.
"Go away your mean" I say turning around so I'm not facing him.
"Stop being dramatic, you said you wanted to walk, I warned you, falling is your own fault" he states.
"You suck" I say knowing he's right, this was my fault.
"And you swallow" he jokes.
"You did not just say that" I laugh after a second finally understanding the sexual joke he made.
"I'm sorry I had to" he laughs. "Now come here and show me your knee" he says turning me to face him again.
"It's fine" I state truthfully, it was a little sore but I was also being a little dramatic.
"Come here single lady" he laughs pulling me into a hug.
"What did you just call me" I say annoyed pulling my body away from his.
"You labeled yourself that, not me, so again, all your fault" he says truthfully. I did call myself single to Daniel.
"Don't call me that again, because not that it's any of your business or anything, but I do in fact have a boyfriend thank you" I say giving him evil eyes.
"He seems like a pretty cool guy" he says talking about himself in the third person.

"You know I didn't actually mean it, but it's Daniel, if I told him I was taken he'd tell Zak" I say making the conversation go serious instantly.
"I get it, don't worry, he was probably the one who reported us in the first place anyways" he says pulling me back into his embrace.
"So your not mad?" I ask testing my chin on his chest looking up at him.
"At you? Never" he giggles placing soft kisses on my forehead. "Now walk for me" he laughs pushing me away from him indicating for me to walk.
"The pressure to walk right now, I feel like I'm on a Victoria Secret runway" I breath out.
"She's got the looks, she's got the body,but can she walk the walk." He says in a serious voice like the people on Tv.
"Watch me" I say taking off my shoes.
"Why are you taking your shoes off" he asks confused.
"In case I fall" I smile.
"Your wearing flats? You know that right" he giggles.
"Shut up and hold the shoes sunshine"
"Don't call me sunshine" he says taking the shoes out of my hand.

With that I try my best to walk away from him. I successfully do and turn around to face him again. I take a deep breath and pray I don't fall. I then start striding towards him playfully flipping my hair and waving pretending I'm a model. Once I finally stand in front of him again he is in tears laughing.
"She walked the walked" he says catching his breath after laughing.
"And now she feels like throwing everything inside of her up" I inform him.
"Home time" he says placing a gentle kiss on my lips before opening my door for me.

Once we get back to the hotel, I run straight to the bathroom lock the door behind me and throw up everything I've drunk tonight.
"Let me in" Lando says knocking on the door.
"Let me throw up in peace" I shout so he can hear me through the door.
"How can i help at least I can't just let you be sick and not do anything" he says in a worried tone.
"You can get me water" I state.
With that I hear the main door close signaling that he has gone to find some water. After a few more minutes I gather myself again, feeling a lot more sober and a lot less sick. I go back into the bedroom and change into one of Landos t-shirts to sleep in. While I'm changing lando comes back with a handful of water bottles and throws them all on the bed.
"I found water" he states proudly.
"I can see, thank you" I say picking one up.
"I'm going to have no tops left if you keep turning them into your sleeping cloths" he smiles noticing my new outfit. He was right, most of his tops where now in my wardrobe as sleeping cloths.
"They suit me better" I smile.
"I can't argue with that" he says walking towards the bathroom.
"I'm going to shower" he states.
"Ok, why are you telling me?" I ask a little confused.
"I don't know, in case you need me you where I am" he smiles.
"I mean the fact you are walking into the bathroom, I needed you, I think that's probably the first place I'd look, but thanks for informing me anyways" I say getting into bed.
"You can be mean" he pouts running over to me and jumping on top of me.
"Get off your heavy" I pout.
"Mhmmm" he hums while kissing me.
"Go shower you stink" I say pulling away from the kiss.
"Flooring mean" he pouts getting up and walking towards the bathroom.
"I'm going to sleep now" I shout.
"No wait for me, I'll be less than 20 minutes" he says stopping at the door.
"Already sleeping" I giggle.
"You'll wait, you always do" he says under his breath walking into the bathroom fully and closing the door behind him.

He wasn't wrong. I do always wait, mainly because it's a lot easier to fall asleep in his arms, it's just a lot more comfortable, and a lot less lonely. So was I going to wait? Yup. I always do.
