"I CAN'T believe I'm sitting here," Eleanor said as the sun set beside them, a gorgeous array of orange and red filling out the sky as the star bid its goodbye for the night. Lando, opposite her, wearing a Suspicious Antwerp shirt and swim trunks, a sunburn fresh on the bridge of his nose and freckles splattered across it, smiled brightly.
A weekend in St. Tropez. Just the two of them and the beautiful French Riviera, although a different slice of it, to get away from their "normal". It was also a way for Lando to treat Eleanor to some relaxation, as Dawson had become more and more demanding of her time and creative energy. Lando would (quietly) admit that this relaxation was something he had been craving as well. It was exactly what the both of them needed.
And so far, it did not disappoint. They were sipping on iced teas, having just come back from a day filled with swimming in the sea, a picnic on the cliffs, and roaming around the town exploring. Eleanor had gotten Lando a silver bracelet, he'd gotten her a necklace with two charms: her (their) birth stone, a gorgeous, sky blue topaz, and a chrysanthemum, their birth flower. It was both an extremely personal gift, but also one that immediately reminded her of him.
"Me neither, but I'm really glad to be here with you," Lando said as he reached across the table and interlinked their fingers. He bent his head and kissed her knuckles, looking at the girl across from him through dark eyelashes. "I've had the best time today."
Eleanor nodded enthusiastically, tilting her head to the side as her green eyes glittered in the light of the setting sun. She, too, had developed a light sunburn, although hers was mostly visible on the exposed flesh of her breasts, the sage green material of her bikini contrasting the rosy tone of her skin. Lando had to clear his throat and remind himself to stop staring, but Eleanor had long caught his straying gaze.
"Oh, and I booked us a massage for tomorrow," Lando said after he snapped out of his daze. "And before you say I'm spending too much money on you, it came with the booking, so technically you paid for it, too."
Eleanor narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "I don't recall seeing that specified on the screenshot you sent me."
Lando shrugged nonchalantly, a shit-eating grin on his lips. "It was right under it, you know? Didn't want to spoil the surprise."
The American rolled her eyes, although it was more out of adoration than out of annoyance. Her fingers squeezed Lando's, right as the waiter arrived with their nachos. The both of them were starving, and thus had ordered a quick snack to share before they headed back to the hotel to get ready for actual dinner. It would be a late one, but Eleanor was far from tired, and Lando had even teased going to Les Caves du Roy, a world-famous night club in the heart of the city.
