"What we have to lose"

45

It was already one week after I texted Daniel's parents. They loved my idea and agreed on a surprise visit for the last race in Abu Dhabi. I arranged everything for them with Christian and I hope that Daniel will be happy.
We are on our way to Brazil for the Grand Prix. After that there is only one race left. Only two more weeks until I have to tell my family and Daniel what I hide from them for a few months now. We arrived in Brazil and the air humidity was really high. I definitely need a shower once we are in our hotel.

After I unpacked and showered I walked over to Daniel's room. Max was on his way as well because we decided to have a friends movie night again. This won't happen that often anymore once Daniel leaves the team. I'm kinda sad about the fact that Daniel will move because I won't see him as much anymore. I had a conversation with Christian about my first year in this job and he congratulated me for doing an amazing job.
"Ok boys rock, paper, scissors, whoever wins sits in the middle." I said because I knew how it'll end. As expected I won and settled myself on the bed.
In the middle of the Movie I felt something running out my nose....again. I got up and felt dizzy. I tried to hold onto the wardrobe but it was hard since the blood ran out of my nose. "Hey Amilia what's wrong?" I hear Daniel behind me, his voice full of worry. "Oh nothing it's fine." I said and hope he calms down. Max stood up and got me some tissues. He handed them to me with a warning look on his face. It was his typical 'how long will you keep it a secret' look. I know I can't keep it any longer but it's only two weeks. And added to that I don't want to ruin the surprise for Daniel.
Somehow I managed to calm Daniel down and we continued our movie night. The movie was over and Max went back into his room. "Do you want to stay?" Daniel asks. I nod and smile at him. He gave me one of his shirts and I went into the bathroom to put it on. I laid down into bed next to Daniel and he placed his head on my chest. "I know there is something going on with you. I can see it. And it seems like Max knows it as well. I want you to know that you can always tell me anything. I'm glad that you have someone that knows your secret but don't be afraid to tell me anything ok?" Daniel says while we both stared into the dark room. I kinda knew that it was too obvious to hide it anymore. I nodded but realized that he won't recognize that. "I know Daniel, thank you. I will let you know." I answered and felt the lump in my throat. Tears formed in my eyes and I tried to push them back. It hurts me that he's worried about me and I know that it'll break his heart if he knows what's wrong. My parents will be such as worried as Daniel. But I can't keep it a secret. I've kept it for too long already and I have to do something against it. Otherwise my family and Daniel will be hurt even more....

When I woke up on Thursday morning, Daniel was already gone. I looked over to the table and saw a flower bouquet, a card and food. I got up and read his card.
Good morning beautiful, I'm at the track walk already. Enjoy your breakfast and take a day off. I told Charlotte and Blair to help you relax. See you tonight for a surprise.
Love hearts Daniel

This man always makes me smile. He makes me so happy. I had the breakfast and received a call from Blair, telling me I should prepare myself for the beach.
I walked back to my room, put on a bikini and a dress on top and packed a bag with towels. Shortly after that I heard a knock on the door. "Hey girl are you ready?" both Charlotte and Blair asked. I smile and pull them into a hug. "I am, let's go."
Blair, Charlotte and I drove to the beach, but stopped at the harbor already. "Today we won't spend the day at the beach..... we'll go on a boat and have a nice day, food, swimming, sun bath whatever you want." Charlotte says. " This is wonderful, thank you so much." I replied. "You have to Thank Daniel in the first place because organized the boat, we only had the idea to spend the day together." Blair answered.

The crew was already waiting for us on the boat. We greeted them and sat down. We received a welcome cocktail and the boat casts off onto the sea.
