Daniel started to laugh what made me frown my eyebrows. 

"Daniel you don't know what it's about" I said in frustration. 

Lando's reactions every time made me angry in some way. It's clear now that he wants to warn me about something, but he's not clear about what. I crossed my arms, making an  annoyed face's expression when I saw Lando walking back towards us.

"And what do you have to do now?" I snarled angrily at him. He stopped a meter in front of me, and looked at me innocently. "Hey, I thought we were friends now and that we would be nice to each other" Lando said totally innocent. 

"You always say you're right again, and that you know everything and-" before I could finish my sentence, Lando interrupted me. "Come on Lila, you are so stubborn. If I told you he wasn't good enough for you you still wouldn't care" he said sighing. 

"How would you know" I said. 

"I know you by now Lila, but well you don't have to take my advice" he said. 

I had completely forgotten that Daniel was still there, but I realised it again when he started coughing. "Sorry, but maybe you guys should talk this out" said Daniel looking at us with open eyes. 

"No need to, I'm going to meet Charlotte" I said with a smile at Daniel. Daniel looked at me dramatically, I rolled my eyes and looked back at Lando who was still looking at me. 

"Okay Lando I'll take your advice I guess" I said as I sighed. 

"You don't have to pretend, I'm only doing it for you I'll talk to Max" again he walked away but this time in the other direction, protesting was pointless so I let him do his thing. Daniel had to go too so I waved at him with a smile. 

It was the perfect moment because Charlotte was already walking towards me. She was wearing wide-leg jeans, a striking t-shirt and a jacket. "Hey, how are you?" she said, waving as we walked towards each other. 

"Good!" I said as I greeted her. 

"Would you like some coffee?" she said, blowing warmth into her hands. 

I nodded, and together we walked to the takeaway stall. When we arrived, luckily there was no queue. There was a woman behind the stall with an apron, and plastic gloves. 

"Hello ladies, can I help you?" said the lady behind the stall with a sharp Italian accent. We nodded at the same time. "I'd love a coffee, I need to replenish my energy" I said with a smile. 

"Same for me" said Charlotte.

She nodded and gave us two hot coffees, with a spoon. We paid and walked to a place to talk.

It was evening and I had spent the whole day with Charlotte. And best of all, we shopped together. I walked back by myself to the Red Bull motorhome where Max was waiting for me. I saw Max ready with his black backpack, jeans, and Red Bull jacket zipped up. 

"Hey Max" I shouted from a few meters away. 

Max looked up from his phone, and a smile appeared on his face. "Hey, I see you've been enjoying yourself" he said pointing at my shopping bags. 

"Yeah, I did" I said with a smile. 

As I walked towards Max he put his arm over my shoulder, together we walked towards his car.

"By the way, I had talked to Lando" he began. "I don't want to hear it" I said with rolling eyes.

Max looked surprised "I thought you were friends" he said.
