RACE - Lando Norris

19

“You are staring,” Daniella muttered, her eyes barely open.

Lando smiled as his face became slightly red. He rested his head on his arm and gently caressed her. “Can’t help myself.”

Daniella hold his hand that was caressing her and placed a kiss. “I can get used to this,” she smiled.

“You should know that I am very serious about this…about us,” Lando explained nervously as he played with her hair. “I was so jealous when you went out with…with Pierre and I didn’t know what to do.”

“That’s why you ignored me?” Daniella asked.

Lando nodded.

“You idiot.”

He laughed and continued. “I want us to be more than friends El.”

“Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?” Daniella smiled, already knowing the answer.

“I am.”

She pulled him for a kiss before agreeing to be his girlfriend.

***

Both Daniella and Lando were flying together to the UK. They have come to a mutual agreement to keep their relationship private for now, so no PDA  or anything that might give hints to the public.

“Stop it,” Daniella scolded her boyfriend as he hold her hand when no one was around. “Someone will see us.”

“No one is around,” he laughed, interlocking his fingers with hers.

The entire flight went like this. At one point Lando fell asleep on Daniella’s shoulder and she couldn’t help but take a photo.

This was the perfect weekend for the new couple.

“Something is different about you,” David told his daughter. Daniella was happier than usual and her father was quite to notice that.

“What do you mean?”

“You seem more…wait, what is that?” he pointed at the mark on her neck.

Daniella’s eyes went wide and immediately covered the mark with her hand. “Nothing its just a….”

“Our little Dani is no longer little now,” Lauren teased her younger sister.

“Oh she had sex?” Collins joined in, immediately getting a light smack behind her head from her father.

Daniella just wanted to disappear or hid under a rock.

“Do I need to have the talk with you?” David asked seriously.

“God no,” Daniella replied. “Please no dad.”

“I think we should go, don’t want to be late,” Lauren interrupted as she handed Daniella the keys to the car. They are going to get the dresses for the wedding. Lauren and her fiance Artem decided to moved up the wedding, they wants to get married before the baby comes.

“So you are in a relationship or was it a one night stand?” Collins asked, this time getting a smack from Daniella which shut her up.

“I want to know about the boy when you get back,” David said in a protective manner.

Daniella nodded.

“Relax dad,” Lauren said as she pushed her sister out of the door. “I am sure its Lando.”

Daniella twirled in the lavender dress which fits her perfectly. Collins was in a similar colour dress but with different design.

“You two look so beautiful,” Lauren clapped as happy tears run down her face. “Sorry, hormones.”

Collins tossed her the tissue box and continued to admire her dress.

Daniella smiled at her sister’s reaction. “You are really getting married in few weeks.”

“I am,” Lauren replied. “All this is happening so fast, its scary, but a good type of scary.”

All Lauren ever wanted was a family of her own and now it is all becoming true. Daniella couldn’t be more happier for her sister.

“Are you going to bring Lando to the wedding as your plus one?” the elder sister asked.

“I thought you already finalized the guest list and all.”

“I am sure I can fit him in somewhere,” Lauren assured her sister. “And it will be a small wedding so you have nothing to worry about.”

***

When Daniella asked Lando if he wants to go to the wedding with her he happily agreed in a heartbeat. And there was no way he would say no when his girlfriend is going to look so beautiful that day, he already got a peek at it when she sent him a photo in the lavender dress earlier.

“But I should warn you, my dad might try to scare you,” she said as her father had already told her he will have a talk with her boyfriend.

“Scare me?” Lando let out a nervous laugh. “He has known me for years.”

“I know,” she sat beside him and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “But this is my first real relationship, so he is being protective.”

“He has nothing to worry about,” he kissed her forehead. “I will never hurt you or let anyone hurt you.”
