Before you

26.

It was a pretty short night and for once, not because we were having sex.

We talked until late at night. He talked about his race, it was cute to see how enthusiastic he was about it.

I listened the entire time with a smile on my face. I could listen to him for hours.

So it was already 4 am when we went to bed, cuddled before we both fell asleep in each other arms.

And that's how we woke up too, in each other's arms, cuddling.
Even though I was pretty tired, I was so happy as well.

We were standing in the kitchen together, he was only wearing his sweatpants, while I was wearing his shirt and shorts.

I opened the fridge, expecting it to be pretty empty, but it wasn't.

He bought eggs, orange juice, different fruits. I turned around and raised my eyebrow at him. "Were you expecting someone?"

"No, I wanted to have some food, just in case you came" he smiled a little. He probably didn't realize how cute it was.

But I did.

"I will cook you a damn good breakfast then" I said as I opened a few drawers.

He sat down on the kitchen counter and looked at me. "Can I get a kiss first?"

I chuckled, walked to him and pecked his lips.

He quickly grabbed my arm as I took a step back. "No, that wasn't enough"

I laughed, kinda expected him to tell me exactly that.

He pulled me in between his legs, held my face as he kissed me deeply.

He was so cute, such a good kisser too. Very hot and handsome as well.

We ate breakfast together, got dressed because we had to leave for Baku.

I actually didn't want to leave Monaco, I felt safe here with him, as if nothing could touch us.

But we had to get on that plane and go to the next race.

"It's media day so you don't really need to come if you don't want" Lando said as we walked to the entrance of the paddock.

"I took my laptop, so I'll work while you do the boring media stuff" I pointed at my purse. "And when you get bored with the interviews, you can come to me and I'll cheer you up again"

"That's a deal" he nodded, held my hand and intertwined our fingers.

We obviously didn't hide how we felt about each other. They all could see how much I liked him, I didn't want to hide our love and neither did he.

"Besides, now I can scan my own paddock pass" I said as I grabbed my paddock pass. As a sponsor, Dell obviously had several paddock passes.

"Damn, so you don't need me anymore?" He laughed.

"Nope" I lied. I would obviously always need him. I scanned my pass, but nothing happened.

I looked at Lando, who was already looking at me with a smirk on his face. "Need some help baby?"

"Maybe a little" I chuckled. He held my hand, lowered it a little until it scanned my pass.

"I guess you need me after all" he winked at me.

"I definitely do"

We walked through the paddock together. Didn't care about everyone who was taking pictures of us.

Lando leaned closer to me. "It's time to annoy Zak" he whispered.

"Oh yes my favorite thing to do" I laughed.

Which was a lie.

Lando was my favorite thing to do.
