Your Love is Mine

The Start of the Trip

The next day Lando woke up early to arrange things with Pierre. He phoned him deciding that it was easiest.

Pierre: Hey mate. What's up?
Lando: Hey Pierre, so about tomorrow, were you planning on leaving with Charles?
Pierre: Well I wasn't intending on flying from Milan to Monaco to Ibiza, so no.
Lando: Could you though? Like hear me out, all four of us fly together. You cross over Monaco so just stop and pick us up.
Pierre: Do you want Charles or Max to jump out of a plane? That's a crazy idea!
Lando: I know but think, the whole point of this is to get them to be friends again right? Well we used to fly together all the time so if we do it again it'll show them what they are missing.
Pierre: You have a point. Okay fine, we'll fly together just don't tell them and we should be fine. If either of them knew then the trip would be over before it even starts. Maybe come slightly later to the plane.
Lando: Okay perfect, and I'll organize the hotel bookings.
Pierre: Perfect! See you tomorrow morning!
Lando: See you!

After the call Lando began the bookings for the hotel rooms. He also found an activity itinerary that would be of interest to them. This trip had to go well for the sake of everyone.

Meanwhile Max found himself waking up to a loud knocking on his door. Irritated, he got up to open the door.

Max: What do you want? It's way too early

The person pushed past him into the house without saying anything.

Max: I didn't invite you in, but please by all means make yourself at home.

Max walked and joined the person on the couch.

Daniel: I'm worried about you
Max: Worried about me?
Daniel: This thing with Charles; I know I said I was done but there's been talk around the paddock... they're trying to replace you?
Max: Only if things don't die down, which they will after summer. Charles and I made a deal to tolerate each other publicly. And only that.
Daniel: You guys actually agreed to that?
Max: His contract is also at stake, so we had to do something. Now the absolute last thing I want the day before I leave is to talk about Leclerc.
Daniel: Leave?
Max: I'm going to Ibiza with Lando tomorrow.
Daniel: Oh, enjoy. Sorry I woke you, I was going for a run and couldn't stop thinking about Red Bull without you.
Max: That's okay, I needed to get up and start my day eventually. Just next time, why not call would you?
Daniel: Hopefully there won't be a next time but sure.
Max: Thank you. Now please get out. I'm going back to bed.
Daniel: Haha. Sorry, I'm on my way. Cheers mate. See you soon.

Daniel left and as said, Max went back to bed for a bit. It wasn't until his alarm went off after about 30 minutes that he gave up on sleep and started his day which went by very quickly. He successfully avoided Charles all day, finished his packing in due time and called it a night fairly early.

The next day
**************
Early the next morning Lando had received a message that Pierre was headed to Monaco. He got up and headed to Max's place. When he arrived the door was open and bags were lined up at the entrance. Lando casually walked in investigating to see where Max was.

Lando: Knock knock!
Kelly: You know saying 'knock knock' without actually knocking defeats the purpose of it. Hey Lando.
Lando: Kelly, didn't know you were here! Hey. I just saw the door was open... there's lots of bags... going somewhere?
Max: Glad to see you found your way in again Lando. She came for a little bit, she's going back home now. Shall we go? I'll get the car.

Lando checked his phone, he hadn't heard from Pierre yet saying he was already with Charles on the plane. He had to stall.

Lando: Uh, I was thinking we walk.
Max: To the helipad? That's like 6km and it's 30 degrees (Celsius) out.
Lando: Come on, at least let's walk to a bus stop or something. The fresh air will do us good.
Max: Whatever you say. Bye Kelly, love you.

They walked down the road and Max stopped after about 2km in the shade of a building.

Max: No mate, this is where we stop. It's way too hot. I'm calling for a car.
Lando: Wait, let me. I suggested this so let me fix it.

Lando got out his phone and phoned Pierre first.

Pierre: Yeah?
Lando: Are you on the freaking plane?!
Pierre: Just got here with Charles. Better come soon otherwise the delay will get suspicious.
Lando: Okay, we'll be there in under 10 minutes.

He called a car and joined Max in the shade as they waited.

Max: Thanks for planning this. A break from the Leclerc infested Monaco is all I need.
Lando: Haha, uh, yeah. No problem. Looking forward to the break. Here's the car, let's go.

Eventually they made it to where the plane was ready to leave and after loading their bags they went into the plane. Lando made sure Max was in front so he could block any last minute escape attempt from behind. He was more nervous by the second, as was Pierre and soon enough Charles spoke up.

Charles: Mate, what's taking so long? Why are you so quiet too?
Pierre: Well um, the plane has other passengers that are joining.
Charles: What do you-

- "Oh HELL NO! LANDO! Your ass is DEAD!"

Charles: You've GOT to be shitting me!
