I needed to find Daniel, he was the only one I could trust with stories about me and Lando, without thinking its gross or even judging me. I walk up to his drivers room and knock on the door, he opened the door and I could see in his eyes he wasn't expecting me. "what are you doing here, sunshine? Though you forgot about me with your new boyfriend." He looked a bit pissed off but I knew Daniel couldn't stay mad, I was like his little sister. "I need you right now", his expression changes quickly to a concerned face, "whats wrong sunshine?" he grabs y wrist and pulls me into his room, so we had a bit more privacy. I wondered around his room not knowing how I would say the next words to him, "well you got the tell me otherwise I can't help you" , he was not patience and he became more worried every second. "Lando told me he loved me when we were sleeping and now I don't know if he was still awake or he just said it in his dreams". Daniel looked at me and then chuckled, "it's not funny Daniel, what if he didn't meant to say it". "Well do you want him to say it?" That was a question I didn't though about, did I want Lando to say that he loved me. "I don't know, I guess like we have been hanging out a lot last month but we aren't even dating yet" Daniel nodded and I could see he was thinking about the situation. "If I were you, I would just ask him. Tell him you heard him say it and if he meant it or that it was just an accident. I'm sure you guys can laugh about it and move forward" I nod, that was a idea, maybe a great idea. "thanks Daniel, well I have to go back before Lando finds out I'm not in his garage anymore" I walked up to Daniel and kissed his cheek "good luck with the practice today". His smile grew big , "thanks sunshine".
I close his door behind me and I see Lando in front of the garage talking to Max, he seemed calm but Max looked at him with big eyes. I walk up to the boys and they break out in laughter. I looked at them confused, Lando was almost crying and Max his laugh was just too funny. I giggled and the boys look at me. "why are you here in Daniel garage?" Max asked me, "Just had to ask him something" Max accepts my answer but Lando looked at me with a confused face, he decides to drop the question and continues his conversation with Max. It was about me, they were laughing about me, of course. I didn't really listen because I saw some interviewer coming our way, the boys didn't bother but the interviewer saw I looked at him.
"Nina, enjoying your day at the track", I nodded and decide an interview one time wouldn't be that bad. "yes I am, looking forward to the practise today" the interview nodded and spoke up again "which team do you support, we see you a lot with Lando over the last month" at this moment the boys were standing behind me listing to my answer. My cheeks turned a bit red but I didn't want to show it, I wanted to look confidence. "I will always support my familie, so of course Red Bull has a piece of my heart but still I also hope Mc Laren will have a good weekend" the interviewer was surprised by my answer so are the boys behind me, Lando spoke up "secretly she is an Mc Laren fan" I laughed about it and Max also chuckled "then you don't know her that well yet" Max spoke up. The interviewer laughed and decides to drop the topic. "speaking of you and Lando, is he your boyfriend or are you guys just good friends" Lando put his arm around my shoulders and responded to the question himself "she has a little crush on me" I laughed at him, he wanted to give the press something to think about without exposing our difficult relationship I guess. "No he is not my boyfriend, lucky me" I answer with a big smile and with that I ended the interview and me and Lando laughed about it.
He grabbed my hand and took me to his drivers room, he had to almost get ready for his session. "I have a little crush on you? are you crazy" I say in an sarcastic way. " Yes you do have a little crush on me, gladly your my crush too" I laughed about it, he was being silly. "But I'm not your boyfriend?" he suddenly turned serious and I looked at him still smiling "you never asked" he shook his head and walked up to me, put his arm around my shoulders. I put my chin on his chest and looked up at him, "do you wanna be my girlfriend?" I look at him in shock, did he just asked us to be official. I nod my head, still confused about this moment. "Well you have to wait till I find a good way to ask you out to be my girlfriend" he responds with a smirk. "you bitch" I say while laughing. I slap his arm softly but he doesn't let me go yet. He leans down a bit a kisses my lips softly before putting his forehead against mine, "your already mine so I don't see the problem for you waiting a bit longer for a special moment" I smile at him, maybe I wanted to say him that he loved me because in that moment I knew for sure I was in love with him.
He let go of me to start getting ready for the practise and the though of him saying he loved me last night still was in my head. I needed to know, did he ment it and did he wanted to say it or was it in accident. I sat on his couch admiring my 'soon to be' boyfriend, he looked back at me and smiled "who's the simp now?" I shook my head and laughed "I never said I wasn't a simp" he smiled and walked up to me, giving me a kiss on the forehead. "Lando, can I ask you something?" he was still busy with whatever he needed to do but he did answer. "Always Nina, whats up?", I put a strain of hair behind my ear before speaking up, "so last night you told me something but I don't know if it was in your sleep or if you ment to say it" He looked at me with an confused face " what did I say?". "Well you told me, you ...loved me" He looked at me with big eyes and started to smile "really?" I nodded "if you didn't ment it you can........" before I knew I couldn't finish my sentence, "I did ment it and I was asleep" he speaks up, laughing about himself. He smiled at me to see my reaction, I look at him back with a smile, my cheeks turning red. "I do love you Nina, even if it's to early for you to say it back. I can wait" He smiled at me while sitting down next to me. "Well, I love you too" He looks at me with almost heart eyes when I told him that, "really?" I nod and before I knew his lips were on mine.
A/N
What the heck, 9.5k is crazy. I didn't look at the number for two days and it went from 8.7 to 9.5 that insane. Thanks to all of you. Keep voting and commenting. Maybe Nina and Lando are moving a bit fast but I want to have a bit of drama after some chapters, before maybe possibly ending the story.
Lots of Love XX
