"I'm so in love Delaney!" Daniel boasts as he walks through my hotel room door and plopping himself down on my bed.
"Ey" I shout, my Italian accent coming out strong "scendi dal mio letto Daniel, i tuoi vestiti sono tutti sudati e disgustosi!"
"Oh mio dio" he says, rolling his eyes as he gets off my bed and plops down on the armchair
"What were you saying?"
"I'm so in love with Heidi" he repeats, letting his head fall back in the chair
"She's a lovely women" I agreed "I'm happy for you"
"You know Delaney, do you ever think about it"
"About what?"
"Love"
"Do I ever think about love? Sure I do, I love tennis, I love you, I love Marco, I love my animals at home"
"You know what I mean. True love with that person"
I paused, "not in a long time. Why?"
"Cause I know it has been a long time. Why don't we go out? I'll set you up with someone"
"Daniel, abbi un po' di buon senso, per favore. I don't need your pitty, I don't need you to set me up with someone, especially not any of your friends, they're all formula 1 drivers"
"Oh absolutely not. You are never going to go near a formula 1 driver Delaney, in that sense. They're pigs when it comes to women"
"Daniel, now, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you a formula 1 driver?"
"Well I'm so different and cool aren't I" he said sarcastically "but most F1 drivers are pigs when it comes to women"
"And they're your friends"
"They'd say it themselves" he shrugs "but think about it okay Del? I want you to experience the happiness of love"
"I'm perfectly happy as I am"
"Mhmm" he mumbled "I'm actually excited for this race you know. With Lewis starting seventh he won't be up my ass straight away" His words distract me, and I poked myself in the eye with my mascara wand
"He's being even more of a basterd recently, talking about you in that press conference, making more comments about red bull. He's so fucking frustrating" Daniel continues
"Yeah well, that's Lewis for you"
"That's Lewis for you? Dam Del, usually you'd have more to say about that prick"
"lasciami in pace, per favore, Daniel, mi è appena finito il mascara negli occhi. c'è qualcosa di peggio in questo momento che darsi un colpo negli occhi?" I ramble quickly dabbing my eye with some tissue as water leaked from my eye
"Slow down, I can't understand much of what your saying" Daniel called from where he was sitting
"Oh mio dio" I mumbled "you are forgetting all your Italian, soon you'll be fluent in Texas and not know any Italian"
"Conosco molto bene l'italiano, grazie mille Delaney. infatti oggi, quando sono andata a fare una passeggiata con mio marito incinta, ho parlato molto italiano con la gente del posto" Daniel said slowly
"You just said you went walking with you pregnant husband this morning" I cringed
"Oh, well maybe you are a tiny bit right then"
I walked out from the bathroom, grabbing my purse and my phone. Maybe I'd gone a little overboard with the outfit today. But at the same time, I don't really care.
