Taura's POV
Martin and I walked in a pretty fancy restaurant. We were going to have dinner with Max Verstappen and Quinn.
Wasn't really my idea, I would rather work on the strategy a little more.
But Martin seemed excited to go to dinner with them, so I agreed on going too.
Max Verstappen was the only one in the restaurant, which was weird because Quinn was always on time. Even a little early.
"Where's Quinn?" I asked, sitting down across of Max.
He just shrugged but then nodded to something behind me.
Or someone.
Quinn and Lando were walking in together. Sometimes, I absolutely hated that girl.
And judging by the look on his face, he didn't know what he was walking into either.
He sat down next to Max, and she sat down next to him.
I looked at her, hoping my eyes would ask what my mouth couldn't, but she just smirked.
Didn't understand what she was playing at if I was honest. Did she like him or something? Thought she was dating Romeo?
And now she shows up with Lando, being all dressed up?
To make things even worse, he said yes to that? He wanted to go to dinner with her?
Martin put his hand on my thigh, stroking it with his thumb. He obviously also felt the tension.
Didn't do anything special during dinner though, didn't touch Martin more than I normally would.
Wasn't using him to make Lando jealous, so I wasn't gonna do that now either.
Lando looked at me from time to time, but I avoided his gaze as much as possible.
Didn't want Martin to think there was still something going on between us.
Even though we had a nice evening at the beach, I had a feeling Lando finally opened up a little, and I did too.
Told him about my mom, something not many people knew.
And I believed him when he told me he didn't cheat on me or Alexia. He had no reason to lie anymore.
Just wish he told me sooner.
Maybe it could've changed things.
I gave him the chance to explain, I wanted to talk to him. So after that night we had our fight, we made plans to see each other.
But instead, he went on a roadtrip with Keeley.
So he couldn't blame me for moving on.
Martin and I took a walk together after the dinner. Unfortunately, we went to the same beach as Lando and I went to yesterday.
Didn't tell him though, didn't want to ruin the moment.
We laid down in the sand together, in each other arms. I didn't even care about the sand in my clothes.
Martin taught me to enjoy life and not worry about these stupid things.
He appreciated every little thing in his life, that's what I like about him.
Would love it if he also appreciated sleep some more.
He only needed 4 hours of sleep, I needed double of that.
"Are Gabe and the boys coming?" I asked. I started to really like them. He had a young, talented team.
Gabe was his show director and was a absolute master with lasers and lights.
"No, they're preparing for the big shows" he said. Playing at a F1 race wasn't a big show for him.
"You're in Italy next weekend, right?" He asked. I nodded. He probably knew my schedule better than I did.
"I play at Tomorrowland next weekend...-" he started, I immediately knew what he was trying to say.
He didn't want to ask me, because he knew it would be hectic for me to make it back in time.
But Tomorrowland was one of the biggest festivals in the world. It was huge and I always wanted to go.
And my damn boyfriend was closing the mainstage.
Talk about a turn on.
"I will take the first plane back, then I'll make it on time" I said.
"Really?" He sounded excited and my heart skipped a beat. "You can take my plane if you want"
"Oh I get the Garrix jet?" I chuckled.
"Definitely" he smiled, put his hand on my cheek and kissed me.
He was putting so much effort in me, in making this relationship work and I was gonna do the same.
