Fields of Gold; Daniel Ricciardo

Rising star

Back at the hotel I walk inside with my shoes in my hand. No way I'm going to put those on my feet again. At least not for a long time.
I text Daniel that I'm on my way up and when I reach our room he's already waiting for me at the door.
Lewis has walked me all the way up and greets Daniel, "hey Dan, here she is again. I might have stolen a dance from her."

Daniel spreads his arms and I practically fall into them. "I can't blame you, I would have done the same. Thanks for looking out for her Lewis. See you tomorrow."
I quickly give Lewis a hug and I thank him for everything before turning back to Daniel.
"Oh love you must be so tired right now. Come on I'll help you get ready for bed. You can tell me everything tomorrow after you had some rest." He takes my shoes from me and puts my purse away.
I sit down on the couch and he gets behind it to start on my hair. It feels so nice that he is doing this for me.

"Thanks babe for helping me. You have no idea how much this means to me."
"It's alright beautiful, I love doing this for you."
I feel his fingers massaging my scalp and I close my eyes.
"I think I have them all, do you want to take a shower now or tomorrow?" He asks me and even though I'm tempted to say tomorrow, I know I have to get this make up off my face.
"I'll take one now, see if I can get my face clean again."
When I get up to go to the bathroom he stays behind so I turn around. "Aren't you coming?"

"If you want, but if you need some time alone I understand."
I walk back to take his hand, "come on, then I can tell you everything. And besides, I can't reach the zipper myself."
That was enough to convince him and he quickly follows me to the bedroom to help met get out of the dress.

We get under the shower where I first wash my hair to get all the hairspray out.
"You know when we got there, there was so much photographers and journalists there. I didn't expect that. The first thing they asked was oh isn't that Daniels girlfriend Lewis?" I shake my head. "They made it sound like I was cheating on you. As if I would ever do that."

"Please don't worry about it. They will always try to get some juice. I know you wouldn't betray me and even if you would, you would be quite dumb to do it out in the open."
He starts to wash my back and look over my shoulder.
"You know that didn't even cross my mind. I would never do anything to hurt you. Lewis and I did dance and it was a slow dance, but I see him as a great friend, nothing else."

He turns me around and cups my face. "I know, I trust you remember."
He pulls me against him and the hot water keeps running over us while we share a loving kiss.
Eventually I get to wash my face and I feel like myself again.
In bed we cuddle and within minutes I'm fast asleep.

We wake up and I still feel a bit tired, but Daniel has media day and I really want to check out the circuit as it's completely new and I hope to meet up with some of the girls today.
While we are having breakfast I check my phone and the screen has exploded with notifications.
I check my messages first and respond to Bri and Jenna. We have arranged for them to come to Barcelona for the next race in 2 weeks. Or well Daniel arranged that with the team, so they have a hotel room and VIP tickets. It's going to be great to see them and spend some time with them.
Also I can't wait to introduce the drivers to the girls.

I see there are some posts on Instagram with pictures of me and Lewis. Daniel and I have a good laugh when we read all the comments.
I think it's so weird that people find what I do so interesting that they have to make social media posts about it. But I guess that comes with the whole 'dating Daniel' territory.
Lewis has also posted a picture with the caption: 'I was honored to have accompanied the beautiful and talented Skylar to the Mercedes dinner last night. She sounded like an angel and I'm proud to be her friend.'
