Baby Blue.

Chapter 36: The best man's missus

Hello! Hello!

The last official chapter. It is followed by an epilogue and an extra chapter from Lando's point of view. I can't believe how crazy this all is - thank you, as always, for any of your feedback. :) 

But don't worry, another project is in the works. It will be a bit darker and wilder, but I hope you'll have a read anyway - I think I'll start uploading the new story in June. Of course, it's about Daniel, some enemies with benefits shenanigans ;)

But before that, we still have a few scenes in Baby Blue!

Have fun reading <3

Besitos, sourpatchsoda

The FIA Prize Giving Gala takes place just before New Year's Eve. It fits perfectly into our schedule, as Daniel and I spend New Year's Eve with his sister and the children at Disneyland Paris.

"Are you ready to be officially dubbed my girlfriend?" Daniel grins mischievously as I straighten his bow tie.

"Nothing would make me happier. But—isn't today about you and your world title?" I look at him questioningly.

"Our world titles. Plural."

Smiling, I remember that Lando and Zak are about to pick us up. Lando will receive the trophy for the constructors' champions, that's why he's in Paris with us.

We are jolted out of our thoughts by the knock on the door.

"Ready?" I nod to Daniel, who opens the door.

"I need booze to survive this evening," I sigh as I follow him.

"Likewise." Lando grins at me.

"Nice suit." I push my lower lip forward appreciatively.

The black suit looks surprisingly good on my brother. He smiles at my comment and hugs me.

We meet Zak in the lobby of the hotel.

"Let me take a picture. Olivia, you look great!" Like the father figure he is, Zak waves his hand around to indicate that we should put ourselves together.

I stand between Lando and Daniel and grin at the camera.

"And now, each of you as a pair," Zak instructs us, and Daniel lets me go so I can take a picture with my brother.

After Daniel, Zak and Lando also have taken a photo together, I want to walk towards the hotel exit.

"Stop, Olivia! What about you and Danny?" Zak looks at me. "You guys need a memory too."

Daniel holds his arms open and grins. I apparently look rattled because Zak rolls his eyes.

"Come on, Olivia. In an hour at the latest, your face will be seen—"

"Yeah, okay, okay." I go back to Daniel's side, and he kisses the top of my head like he always does when he wants to reassure me.

"Our parents will be happy to see the photos." Daniel smiles at me, and I look into his eyes.

I sigh softly, adjust my black floor-length dress and lean into Daniel's embrace.

"Oh, Zak, look at them," Lando whispers next to our boss. "Those lovebirds."

I have to laugh unintentionally.

"Pichoncita," Daniel whispers, pulling me even closer.
