Past and Present

Author's note: I am so sorry I just posted this NOW! I've been debating with myself whether or not to cut parts of this or not. But here it is and I apologize because this is a long-ass chapter. I've actually had this drafted months ago and because of me second guessing it's long word count, I let this rot in my drafts. Heads up as well, I have already drafted 5 more chapters after this, so expect quite a number of updates in the coming days. I am just editing some of it then, i'll publish it for you guys. 

Also, Never actually thought that this has reached 3K reads! Hopefully you still come with me on this 'til the ending. Anyway, enjoy this cursed long chapter, lmao!

Just as everybody left us, I look at Lando again, "what are we doing exactly?" Lando looks at me again just as he grabs my hand and starts walking ahead, "I'm going to catch up with the time I lost because you spent the morning with your ex."

Ohmygod, Lando is actually acting jealous?! I blinked, taking in what I just heard from him not minding where Lando is pulling me to right now in the middle of the busy streets of the city center. I would be lying if my heart didn't skip a beat by what I just heard. I decided to pull his hand to a halt, I look at him, "You're actually jealous?" Lando looked at me and spoke nonchalantly, "why do I always look like all that I say are jokes?" I look at him obviously taken aback by how he responded, not taking any hints I sarcastically answered him, "I mean, I don't get why you would be jealous in the first place..." I trailed as I notice that Lando rolled his eyes again as he let out a scoff as if I offended him again, "okay so now what we're going to do since you just ruined our plans today, hmm?"

Lando just grinned at me and took my hand as we start strolling around the city center. Thankfully, not a lot of tourists are up and about at this time. Probably most of them's still hangover from an all night partying. Soon the anxiety I have that Lando might get flocked by fans left my body and I started enjoying the day with him. We tried some local street foods and delicacies we found along the city center. We also bought a bunch of trinkets and souvenirs that we can give for the people back at home. Lando and I just got out of a coffee shop, "you really didn't think this through, did you?" I asked chuckling softly before taking a sip of my drink.

He looks at me and grins as he shook his head, "nope. I only got to the part where I'll say you and I's not going with them to the beach club."

I snorted as I shook my head, "typical of you, Lan. Very typical. At least you were successful on step one." I laughed before fishing my phone out of my pocket to check on possible places we can go to without getting lost or something. I got engrossed to checking my phone to see what else we can do that I wasn't bothered much when I felt Lando wrapped his arms around me practically back hugging me and left kisses on my hair.

*click*

Just as I got distracted by what feels like a camera sound I stopped looking at my phone and just as Lando pulls away from me, two taps on his phone then immediately hides it.

I looked at him, "you're hiding something."

Lando just smiled, "you'll eventually see it. Anyway, where we going?"

"Well it's 4PM now, how about we return the stuff we bought at the villa then head back here and follow Max and the others at the beach club, hm?" I told him while I fix my sunglass and drink my coffee.

Lando check his watch and nodded, "sounds like a plan then." Just as I am hailing a cab for us, Lando's phone rung, I take a glance at him before talking to the cab driver and giving him the address of the resort we are staying at; I hear Lando's phone kept ringing as I enter the cab, "aren't you going to answer that?" I curiously asked.
