Unchained Melody (Daniel Ricciardo)

That gut feeling

Ayla is waiting at the airport for Melissa to arrive. She managed to get her the first flight out and she is now about to come through the doors.

Seb of course has no idea, but he agreed to have dinner with Ayla again in a couple of hours. What he doesn't know is that it's not Ayla who will sit at the table with him, but it's Melissa.

She texted Melissa this morning to ask her if she was ok with that plan and Melissa agreed. So now it's just fingers crossed to see if they can work it out and go back to being the happy couple they used to be.

Melissa has made it through customs without much trouble and she drags her suitcase behind her through the doors.
She looks around to see if she can find Ayla anywhere but she doesn't see anybody she recognizes. Until a broad smiling young woman comes her way, the face is very familiar, but Ayla is blonde.
Or well she was, this is Ayla.

"Mel! I am so happy you're here!" Ayla runs up to her and wraps her arms around her friend. Seeing Melissa again makes her feel so stupid for cutting everybody from her life when she moved to Amsterdam. She really missed the English brunette who has always been so nice to her.

"Ayla Jesus I didn't recognize you. Your hair is amazing!" Melissa exclaims while the two women hold each other tightly. They don't care that people might be looking their way. Most of them are smiling as they can clearly see these are two women who really care about each other and are very happy to see each other again.

"How was the flight? Did they make it comfortable?" Ayla asks.
"Girl you booked me a first class ticket. Of course that was comfortable. I'm just glad I could take the time off. I had so many vacation days left from last year that my boss was happy to let me take some. I'm really nervous though. What if Seb doesn't want to see me?"

Ayla grabs Melissa's suitcase and leads her over the airport to the car she borrowed from Antti. He knows about her plan and he was happy to hand over the keys for his rental car. He and Seb didn't have to go to the track anyways and otherwise they would take a taxi or walk the short distance.

"Believe me, he wants to see you. He doesn't have a clue though. You can just drop your stuff in my room for now, but I kinda think you might be staying in Sebs room the rest of the weekend. Or am I really getting ahead of myself now?" Ayla asks as they load everything up in the car.

"Well I have had some time to think about what you said and I realize how stupid I have been. I know Seb and I know he's not a cheater. I should have just believed him. Why would he even want me back after I didn't trust him?" Melissa wonders out loud.
"Because he loves you. It's simple as that. Look tonight you guys can talk about it and I'm sure that everything will work out. I'm just happy you wanted to listen to me after I've been the worst friend ever."

Ayla drives away from the airport, turning onto the road towards the hotel.
When they arrive back, Ayla first checks if Seb isn't sitting around somewhere.
Both women then quickly make their way to Ayla's room where they hang out until it's time for Melissa to get herself ready.

"I'm so nervous. I feel like I'm going to throw up." Melissa paces around through the room.
"You won't. It's just Seb, the man you love and who loves you. I bet when the two of you see each other again it will be like the last six months never happened."

Ayla grabs Melissa's arm and sits her down in front of the mirror so she can help her fix her hair.
Melissa is wearing a red, knee length flowing dress which makes her look stunning.
When they were deciding on what she should wear they felt the red would be perfect for Seb now being a Ferrari driver.

Ayla decides Melissa's hair should just have some loose hanging waves. That's what she usually has and that's how Seb knows her best.
"Ok so I'm supposed to meet him in the restaurant in about half an hour. Last time he actually was on time so I would make sure you're there a bit early. God I wish I could see his face. I might hide behind a plant or something." Ayla grins.
