Unchained Melody (Daniel Ricciardo)

Going public

Ayla groans when the alarm goes off. She reaches for her phone on the nightstand but has a strong arm wrapped around her.
Her first instinct is to get scared, but then she remembers that Daniel is in the bed with her.

They took a shower together last night and then shared her bed. She didn't have any nightmares and was able to have an uninterrupted sleep.

Carefully she tries to wriggle out of Daniel's tight grip, but he only holds her more.
"Not yet baby. I don't want the day to begin." She hears him say. Her voice muffled because his face is buried in her neck.

"I just want to turn off the alarm. And besides we have to get ready. You have a free practice and qualifying session to do today and I have a lot of social media posts to put online."
Finally he relaxes his arm enough so she can make sure the alarm stops blaring.

But as soon as it stops he pulls her back against his warm, hard body. For a moment she just wants to stay in bed with him all day, but they really have to get up. She always wants to be there before Max and Checo arrive.

"Can't we just call in sick?" Daniel suggests and she laughs.
"Babe, you have to qualify, you can't just call in sick in your line of work. Besides, Christian and the team are counting on me. We both need to be there."

"Fuck 'em. Fuck em all. There's no place better than here with you." He pouts.
"I know. I'd rather stay here as well, but we have to go. You can come back here tonight. We will have a relaxing night together." She tries to get him to get up.

"Ok fine. We should go to bed really early tonight. Gives me more time to be the big spoon."
Ayla agrees, the more time they can spend like this, the better.
"We will. Now please let me get up because I really need to pee."

Finally Daniel removes his arm, but only to lean over her so he can give her a kiss.
"Ok now you can go. I'll get dressed and get the coffee started."
He watches as Ayla gets out of bed and hurries into the bathroom. She was only wearing shorty pyjama's and she looked sexy as hell in it.

Quickly thinking about coffee he tries to prevent his cock from getting hard again. He woke up a few times during the night with a raging hard on and he is surprised he didn't shoot his load. He sure had plenty of dirty dreams, all with Ayla being the main character in them.

Smiling he gets out of bed himself. Even though he is stressing about today and quali, he also feels lighter somehow. He feels like a sixteen year old having a crush when he realizes again, Ayla is his girlfriend. He has every intention to be with her for the rest of their lives.

She is the one he wants to marry someday and she is the one he wants as the mother of his children. He wants the whole nine yards with her.
The house with a white picket fence, a couple of kids and at least one dog.
He can already see it, this amazing vision of his future with her.

But first, today. First he has to try to set the car up so he feels confident enough for qualifying. Then he has to try to get the car into Q3, which would be a first. But he wants Ayla to be proud of him, he doesn't want to let her down and look like some loser.
She has so much faith in him and all he wants to do is prove to her he is worthy of that.

He takes some clean clothes from his backpack and quickly puts them on.
In the bathroom he can hear the toilet flush and then the tap is running. Not much later he hears the buzzing sound of Ayla's electric toothbrush.
He will get himself sorted when she is done.
First he will make some coffee to wake them both up.

*******

Soon they are both sat down at the table, a steaming hot mug filled with the black liquid in their hands.
Just the scent coming off the coffee is helping them wake up a bit.
