Aimee's POV
"I hate flying public airlines." Lando says as we're being guided through the Dublin airport. Having extra security and privileges might help sometimes, but in this case it's definitely attracting more people to what's happening. Two people being pushed through the masses of people surrounded with security guards is definitely not a way to stay out of the attention.
"I know, but not everyone can fly private all the time." I says simply, showing my boarding pass to the flight attendant before security gives us over to the inflight crew. We make our way to the plane and get seated right away. The last ones to board the plane, just so people wouldn't try to get onto our flight. "Also, it's only about two hours to Nice. We will be in Monaco before you realise it."
Lando just sighs, fastening his seat belt, before taking my hand in his. He places a light kiss on the back of my hand before listening to the security instructions.

"You're flying to Italy on Wednesday right?" I ask for confirmation as Lando is driving us from the Nice airport to one of our apartments in Monaco. Right now, I don't really care which one of the apartments we're going to.
"I am, you're flying to Paris? Or taking the train?" He asks, knowing I spoke about travelling by train sometimes rather than taking the plane. Especially when it's such a short flight, travelling by train sounds interesting as well.
"I'm taking the train. I need to be at the Monaco train station early Wednesday morning." I say, confirming his suspicions.
"I'm flying with Max so we will probably fly out late in the day. I'll take you and Ava to the train station." Lando suggests, a bright smile on my face. Very happy with the small gesture he is making.
"I'd like that a lot." I tell him, holding his hand on the center console as he moves through the Monaco streets. The simple gesture of him driving us to the train station, shows me that he's still here to try everything. A small action to spend a little more time together.
The few days we got to spend together in Monaco went by in a blink of an eye. I hadn't realised that until we were both packing our bags on Wednesday morning. We stayed at Lando's place the past two nights, so I'm gathering the bit of clean clothes I have here. Ultimately deciding that I need more fashionable clothing for Paris. "We need to stop at my place before we can go to the station." I state looking at my half packed suitcase.
"That's fine." Lando says sneaking an arm around my waist from behind, before placing a small peck on my cheek. I lean back into his chest, enjoying the last bit of time we get to spend together.
"I'll miss this. You holding me." I admit, as I'm taking in Lando's embrace.
"Me too, but we'll be back in Monaco before you know it. And next week is the Monaco Grand Prix, so we get to spend most of the week together." He says placing a small kiss on my hair. "And we really gotta go now, if you want to catch your train."
I agree, following him with my suitcase out the door. Lando drives through the streets of Monaco, stopping at my place. I throw in the necessary clothing for the few days in Paris, before being interrupted by Ava. Who's also taking advantage of Lando bringing me to the train station, by catching a ride with us.
Once we arrive at the train station, I quickly kiss Lando goodbye. Telling him we will see each other on Monday. We opt not to do this outside the car, because fans will probably spot us. They might ambush us, and I won't be able to catch my train. Also, neither of us was craving the spotlight this early in the morning.
"I love you, take care." Lando says, before I want to close the car door.
"Hey that's my line." I chuckle, smiling at him. "But I love you, drive fast but please stay safe." I say, sharing one last look, before Ava signals that I really have to follow her if we want to make it to the train before it departs.
We take our seats on the first class of the train, looking out the window. Reminiscing of the last few perfect days Lando and I got to spend together. Lando tricked me into playing golf with him. Insisting I would at least learn the basics, so I could join him more often. I just think he enjoyed having me with him, being able to touch me a bit when explaining how I had to swing. He then went with me to a singing class I had, after which we took Charles' boat out for an afternoon on the water. It was simply lovely.
The roughly seven hours in the train pass by in a blur. Ava briefing me on the interviews I have tomorrow. Friday and Saturday being focussed on the two concerts, that for a change are in the afternoon.
Luckily for us, Ava had arranged a taxi at the train station so we are quickly out of there and to the hotel. Ellis already waiting for us in the lobby, as we entered. She had turned out to be someone I connected with really well. We had been texting a lot, and I hope that even when this tour ends we could be quite some good friends.
"AIMEE!" Ellis yells, jumping into my arms as I enter the lobby and reach her line of sight.
"ELLIE!" I cheer twirling us around laughing.
"We are so having a girls night in tonight." She says pointing at me and Ava, both of us quick to agree. "I've got some tea to spill." Ellis states, as Ava walks to me with both our room keys.
The three of us decide we need some time in our own rooms to get unpacked, before we'd meet up again. I have barely finished unpacking when a knock on the door signals that Ellis and Ava are probably there. Opening the door, my thoughts were confirmed.
"We brought sushi!" Ellis says holding up the big bag with all different kinds of sushi in it, while a bright smile lingers on her face.
"Oh I love you two." I say jokingly, as we put all the different kinds of sushi in their containers on the table. "Lando never want sushi because of the fish. But I absolutely love it!" I say taking the chopsticks and putting the first piece of a California roll in my mouth. "So spill the tea!" I say to Ellis referring to what she said when I'd just arrived.
"Okay, so don't get mad. Because this story is honestly insane." Ellis says, making me frown. These words promise nothing good. "But all dancers arrived together this morning for another rehearsal, because Tony had some adjustments to make. Something about the choreography not clicking at the first concert or something. And I overheard Danny and Ilias talking. The things they were saying weren't very nice to say the least." She says taking a deep sigh, clearly contemplating whether she's supposed to continue talking. She clearly comes to the realisation she's already said too much as she does continue. "And as a friend I really feel like having to tell you about this. Because I just can't believe they said it. But they were talking about how you are a slut. And apparently you were also just using Lando for the fame. Using his fame to get more exposure."
"They did what? Where the fuck did they get this ridiculous idea?" I yell angrily. Blood pumping through my veins. These people really know how to ruin their own chances.
