LUCY POV

We silently walked back to Lando's room. All to oafraid to ask.

We all got in the room and Carlos made himself welcome. "Does anyone want any ice?" He asked breaking the silence, only then did I realise how sore I was.

"Me please" I said "me too." Max finally spoke. "I'll need some too mate." Lando was the quiet of us all.

I watched Carlos put ice in tea towels and hand them out. That's when I noticed Max, he gave me a sorry look and I saw his eye was bleeding and his knuckles and jaw were starting to bruise. I started to tear up.

Max and Lando came over to me. "Hey, don't cry. I promise he'll never hurt you again, we won't let him." Lando comforted with his arm around me, his knuckles were bruised too. "He's definitely learnt his lesson." Max said rather solemnly.

"Lucy, do you want pancakes? I make the best" as Carlos said the words, I realised how hungry I was. "Yes please Carlos and it's lovely to meet you." "The pleasures all mine." I saw his eyes scan my neck and wrist and look at the boys to scan them too. He worked it out.

—————————————————————————

The rest of the evening went without a hitch, the pancakes were amazing, Carlos and Max left, but both gave me their numbers before they did. Max gave me a sorry look, I kissed his cheek and told him I'd see him tomorrow and he gave me a smile.

"Would you like to watch something?" "That sounds lovely Lando, you pick something whilst I get some air."

I walked to the balcony and lit my cigarette, I checked my phone to see 55 messages, 33 missed calls and 4 voicemails, noticing the numbers I giggled. I added Max and Carlos' numbers and sent them both a message with my name.

Max responded instantly. 'I'm sorry for tonight, I wish we'd met under better circumstances. Sleep well and please message me in the morning.' His message was sweet. I responded 'we'll talk tomorrow' another message came straight through. 'Kelly is my ex by the way, we broke up tonight.' What a strange message.

I walked back inside, passed Lando my phone and asked for his number too, he blushed but put the number in. I checked the number and to see what he saved his number as "love of my life, cute." He smiled proudly. He'd put some comedy on, we talked the night away, spoke about our and interests, I didn't realise how close we'd got, he has his arm around my neck and we were looking right at eachother, inches away.

He was looking at my lips, he leaned in, just as his phone went off. "Shit, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." He jumped up, answered his phone. "Yeah, she's fine, she's still here." Was all I heard before I fell asleep.
