"Welcome to my humble abode." Lando says as he lets Tina into his apartment.
It's in the same building as Daniel's, but Lando is a few floors under Daniel.
Tina walks in and suppresses a giggle. The place is a bit of a chaotic mess with suitcases in the middle of the room, dishes in the sink and some plants that could use a good splash of water.
It's clearly a bachelor patch and you can tell Lando isn't here very often.
"Sorry for the mess. I didn't have time to unpack this weekend." He apologizes.
"When did you come home then?" Tina asks him tilting her head a bit and raising one eyebrow.
Lando grins apologetically.
"Ehm I may have been home for about a week. I came home right after Barcelona."
Tina chuckles and shakes her head. He had plenty of time to sort his luggage and water his plants, but he just didn't feel like it.
"Ok, ok. I should have put my stuff away. I'll do that this week so everything is ready before I leave for Baku."
"It's your place. I don't care what you do with it. But thanks for letting me stay here. Do you have a spare toothbrush maybe?" She asks.
After those shots, she would like to brush her teeth. She's a bit shy to ask him for a shirt to sleep in, even though the outfit she has on now isn't too comfortable for the night.
"Yeah sure. Do you want one of my shirts?" He asks her looking at her party outfit.
"That would be amazing thanks. I'm glad I won't have to listen to Seb and Melissa going for it. I hope Ayla doesn't either." She says thinking about how Ayla and Daniel left all of a sudden.
"She's probably crashing with him if they went here." Lando states simply.
Tina isn't so sure, Ayla hasn't even spent any nights with Lewis ever since Axel did god knows what to her.
She doubts Ayla will just go stay over at Daniel's. Although she does seem to trust him, so maybe she will feel ok staying with Daniel for the night.
"I hope she is ok though. She seemed so upset." Tina thinks out loud while Lando grabs a brand new toothbrush from his bathroom cupboard.
Then he heads into his bedroom and chooses a shirt for Tina to wear.
He is pretty excited that she is going to be sleeping in his apartment. Sure he will be on the couch, but still it means she will be here in the morning. They can have breakfast together and spend some time alone. Maybe he will finally gather enough courage to tell her that he really likes her.
With the toothbrush and shirt in his hand he goes back to the living room where Tina took her shoes off. She puts them in the hallway, even though his shoes are all over the place.
He's a bit embarrassed by the state of his apartment. He really needs to grow up and keep the place more tidy and clean. Maybe he should just hire somebody to do it for him, he can afford it and he's pretty sure there's other guys living here who have that as well.
He decides to ask the others who cleans for them, maybe that person has some time to take on his mess as well.
"Here you go. You can change in the bathroom if you want. I'll go fix the couch so I can sleep on it tonight."
It's already very late, past midnight, so it won't be a long night. The couch isn't that comfortable either, but he will just have to make it work.
"I can sleep on the couch. You don't have to give up your bed for me." Tina says, taking the items from Lando.
"What kind of gentleman would I be if I let you sleep on the couch?" Lando says, acting offended.
"Since when did you become a gentleman?" Tina giggles heading towards the bathroom.
"Oiy cheeky!" He shouts, but she is right. He's not really that much of a gentleman. But for Tina he will be. He would sleep on the floor if he had to, as long as she has a nice place to sleep.
