Lily Ralph, a 23-year-old Greek model, is strong-willed and independent. Growing up in an abusive household, she developed deep trust issues, making it hard for her to let people in. Despite her tough exterior, there's a vulnerability underneath, on...
After the excitement of the Mexican Grand Prix, the house was finally quiet. Lily curled up on the couch in an oversized blanket, her body still buzzing from the energy of the race. Despite the chaos of the weekend, all she wanted now was a peaceful night with Lando, away from the cameras and crowds.
In the kitchen, the smell of popcorn filled the air as Lando prepared snacks. "Do you want sweet or salty popcorn?" he called out, his voice full of energy.
"Both!" Lily replied, smiling to herself. She loved how Lando always managed to be so carefree, even after such a hectic day. He had won the race, but here he was, focused on making a movie night perfect for them.
Lando appeared moments later, balancing two large bowls of popcorn in one arm and a couple of sodas in the other. "I've got us covered," he said with a grin, setting everything on the coffee table in front of them.
Lily tucked her feet under her, making room for him as he settled in beside her. "You're the best," she said, snuggling closer as he draped an arm around her.
"You don't have to tell me," Lando teased, giving her a playful nudge. "So, what are we watching?"
Lily grabbed the remote and began scrolling through the options. "How about a classic rom-com?" she suggested. "Something light and fun."
Lando raised an eyebrow. "Rom-com, huh? Didn't see that coming from you."
Lily laughed, tossing a piece of popcorn at him. "I'm full of surprises."
They finally settled on 10 Things I Hate About You and let the movie play in the background as they shared snacks, laughter, and casual conversation. Lily loved how effortless it felt to be around Lando, especially after such an intense week. They didn't need to talk about anything serious; just being together was enough.
Halfway through the movie, Lily rested her head on Lando's shoulder, her fingers tracing idle patterns on his arm. "You know," she began, her voice soft, "sometimes I can't believe this is our life now."
Lando looked down at her, his eyes warm. "What do you mean?"
"I mean," she continued, "this—us. The races, the travel, the quiet nights like this. It feels surreal sometimes, like a dream I never thought I'd have."
Lando kissed the top of her head gently. "Well, it's our reality now. And I wouldn't change a thing."
They stayed like that for a while, the movie playing on in the background as the outside world seemed to fade away. There was something perfect about the simplicity of it all—just the two of them, in their little bubble of peace.
As the credits rolled and the room dimmed, Lily shifted, her eyes growing heavy. "I'm so tired," she murmured, sinking deeper into the cushions.
Lando chuckled softly, pulling the blanket over her more snugly. "You should sleep, babe. You've earned it."
Lily smiled, her eyes fluttering shut. "Stay with me?"
"Always," Lando whispered, brushing a gentle kiss against her temple.
And with that, the world outside disappeared completely, leaving them wrapped in the warmth of their quiet night together.
