Unchained Melody (Daniel Ricciardo)

Making things right.

While in the bedroom the sexual tension is strong, in the living room area, the tension is not sexual at all.
Lando and Tina haven't said a word yet, they are just staring at each other, waiting for the other to start talking.

Lando feels his heart racing, his stomach is filled with butterflies when he looks at the beautiful brunette he has been missing ever since she ended their relationship.
"Were you outside of the McLaren hospitality today?" He asks.
Tina's face turns a few shades redder, she didn't think Lando had seen her, but she also feels her anger and hurt bubble back up to the surface.

"Yeah I was. I was coming to talk to you, but your mouth was very busy with something else." She says with an icy tone in her voice.
Lando raises an eyebrow, his mouth was busy? He knows he wasn't eating when he thought he saw her standing outside. What was his mouth doing?

"With what exactly?" He asks her.
"Kissing some blonde girl. I have no right to be angry or upset, I know that. But it's clear that our relationship didn't mean as much to you as you said it did. You already moved on to the next girl."

Angrily she wipes a tear from her face, she doesn't want to cry over him anymore. She doesn't want him to see how much it hurt her.

"Kissing a girl? I definitely wasn't kissing a girl. I don't even look at other girls. My heart isn't even close to being healed after you broke up with me." Lando says, the hurt audible in his voice.
"Well it sure seemed like you were having a great time with her. So excuse me if I don't believe you." Tina scoffs.

"A blonde girl? In hospitality?" Lando asks, but he then realizes who that girl was and he starts to chuckle.
"Wow, you really think it's funny?" Tina feels like she doesn't know the man standing in front of her at all.

Lando steps towards her and wraps his arms around her. Tina freezes by the audacity of him. How can he think he can just hug her after she caught him with some random girl when he says he is still not over her.

She tries to push him away, but as soon as she feels his hard, muscular chest, she knows there's no way she will be able to.
"You got it all wrong silly girl." Lando says softly.
"How? How did I get it all wrong? I saw you." Tina doesn't want to feel anything while she's in Lando's arms, but it is like coming home.
She has missed this so much, but she is also still mad at him even though she has no right to be.

"That blonde girl is my niece Chiara. My family is here just like they were last weekend and Chiara hugged me when I came out of debrief. But I definitely did not kiss her." Lando shivers just by the thought of it.
"Your niece? But it really looked like you were kissing."

Tina did not expect to hear this. She knew Lando's parents were around. She has seen them in the paddock, but she had no clue other relatives were there as well.
Could this be true? Did she jump to the wrong conclusions?

"Nope, I would never kiss my niece, obviously. The only girl I want to kiss is you." Lando admits.
He has some hope that maybe Tina came to talk to him because she changed her mind about them.
He doesn't dare to hope too much though, his heart still hurts from her leaving him, he isn't sure if he could handle another rejection.

But she is still in his arms, she hasn't pushed him away. That must be a good sign.
Holding her like this feels so good. Her petite frame and his body seem to melt into each other. He can even feel her breasts press against his chest. They might not be the biggest, but they are absolutely perfect for him.

If only she could see that the two of them can conquer the world, they can stand up against the trolls that are out to ruin his love life. If she could see that, things could go back to the way they were.
