[72]-I've missed you so much
______

Sun, the beach and a few days off is exactly what I need to relax a bit from the last stressful weeks. I had to write some exams in university and was learning all the time but now I can just concentrate on tanning and listening to the waves brushing over the sand. Max, one of my friends asked me if I want to stay with him and a few friends here and I said yes without even thinking too much about it. I haven't seen Max in a while because we life in different countries but when we met roughly a year ago, we just clicked and keep in touch since then.

Right now, I am walking trough the sand, feeling it tickling my feet while I breath in the salty scent of the ocean. I haven't met all of Max's friends yet because some of them where out in the water with a yacht while he picked me up from the airport, but I would meet the rest of them in a few minutes because we want to meet up at the beach.

Just when I reach the group of Max's friends a familiar laugh caught me off guard. Could it be? No, that would be a too big coincidence. Even though I am sure it can't be one of my childhood friends I stop my moving and turn to the group, searching for the familiar curls.

And there he is, Lando, one of my friends during childhood but when my family moved to a different country, we lost touch. We used to live as neighbours and did everything together. I still remember how heartbroken we both where when we had to say goodbye. I though I will never see him again, but faith seem to have other plans.

"Lando?" I approach him, hoping that it is not just a lookalike from him and really my favourite British boy. At first, he looks a bit annoyed, probably thinking that I am a fan who wants to disturb his peaceful holiday but then his face lights up, probably realising who I am.

"Is this really you?" He asks, his eyes wide and a broad smile on his lips. "Live and in colour." I giggle and just a few seconds later I am in his embrace, wrapped in his arms and pressed against his chest. Hugging him back I feel so much happiness spreading trough my body that I don't think I can stop smiling anytime soon. Lando lets go of me again and we sit on one of the lounge chairs to have a chat and catch up a bit.

"What are you doing here?" Lando ask me, ignoring all his other friends and just focusing on me. "Max brought me; I didn't know that you two are friends." I explain him with a smile and can see how surprised he is by my words, probably not expecting that I know one of his friends.

"Already stealing my girl, Norris?" Max interrupts us, making me roll my eyes at him. Of course, he doesn't know that Lando and I know each other for a long time and that Lando isn't "stealing" me, just catching up a bit.

"No, I..." Lando begins to stutter and all the colour drains from his face, worrying that he is hitting on his best friend's girl, but I can reassure him right away. "Shut up Max. We know each other from our childhood." I explain my friend who looks surprised at my words.

"What a coincidence. We are going to the restaurant, you two can come when you catch up." He grins, before he walks away again, taking the rest of the group with him, leaving Lando and me alone again.

"So, you are dating my best friend now, huh?" Lando asks, sounding neutral and I am surprised that he really thinks that Max and I are dating. Yes, Max has just called me his girl bit I thought it would be obvious that it is just a joke from him.

"Max and me? Never! He is just a brother for me." I laugh, making Lando sight in relief. We look to the ocean for a few moments, not talking but we don't need to talk and are probably both just happy to see our best friend again.

„I've missed you so much!" Lando suddenly speaks up again and wraps his arm around my shoulders to pull me closer to him. "I missed you too Lan." I mumble, resting my head on his shoulder, hoping that we would manage to keep in touch after this holiday and not lose each other again.

"Remember how we sneaked out to watch the sunset?" He says, looking at the sky which is slowly starting to switch colours. I sight when I remember it, how nervous we where when we sneaked out and how beautiful the sky looked when we both sat there, wrapped in a blanket, and just staring at the changing colours.

"That was always my favourite part of the week." I whisper and lift my head a bit to look at Lando who is already looking at me, making me blush softly. Lando lifts one of his hands, softly placing it on my cheek and then letting his thumb stroke over the skin there.

"Am I going to make it awkward when I kiss you now?" He says, barely audible but I still hear him. My heart flutters softly at his words and I can feel how the blush is getting more but I only want to feel his lips on mine now.

"Well, if you don't do it I will." I smile and can observe how his eyes lit up a bit and his lips curl upwards, forming a soft smile on his lips. Lando gives me a last reassuring glance before he closes the gap, brushing his lips over mine.

Butterflies roam around in my stomach, and I have the feeling that my hart wants to beat itself a way out of my chest when our lips touch for the first time. Softly brushing over each other while the sky is dipped in different shades of red and orange, making this kiss kind of magical.
