It's the following Summer from where the action left off, and Dan and Saskia are back, creating and causing mayhem. As per.
This time round there's added pressure from Red Bull under performing, a nervous Lizzie and something which is sure to chang...
It was nine o'clock the following morning. The hotel room was incredibly dark and I could hear the rain pounding against the glass of the double doors. They led out to a beautiful balcony, with potted plants and a set of chairs.
For a brief second, a horrible memory came flooding back to me. Suddenly, I was taken back to last year where I'd spent a night alone in the hotel room after an intense argument with Daniel. I'd never felt so empty before.
My heart pounded in my chest and I was forced to take a couple of deep breaths. But then the covers ruffled next to me and I felt a warm hand on my leg. It was okay; he was here, now.
I cringed at how stupid I'd been with Christian and cursed myself another few times. Thankfully, all of that was history. Not part of this story anymore.
I looked over at the sleeping Daniel to find only his tanned nose poking out from under the covers. He was wrapped up in them as usual.
"I love you," I whispered, gently removing the hand from my leg and kissing the chocolate curls on his head.
It was time for action.
I tiptoed around the room getting ready, and once I'd showered and dressed (avoiding makeup- it was a big no-no in Singapore unless you wanted to look like a Panda), I grabbed my FIA credentials and rucksack before heading down to Josh's room. This was after I'd written Daniel a note, of course. I wished him luck reading my writing.
One brief knock and Josh was there, one eyebrow raised at me.
"Daniel Ricciardo off the market for good," he read aloud from one of our team iPads. "Ricciardo puts a ring on it, sorry ladies."
"Yes, about that..." I blushed, noticing just how messy his room was. Clothes were strewn everywhere. Everywhere with a capital E.
"It made good reading until very late. It's amazing how much they have found out about you, too. I didn't know you went UCL?"
"Oh, there's a lot you don't know about me," I chuckled. Half of me wanted to read those articles and the other half of me didn't. I'd steered well clear of social media since yesterday evening and now I knew that I had to turn the 4G on my phone back on before Bridget killed me.
"They used some really nice photos...AusSport.com called you a beauty...apparently you keep Dan grounded," Josh smirked, reaching for his rucksack. In it was a banana skin from Wednesday. It was now Saturday. And it stank.
"More like the other way round!" I scoffed, thinking back to the times where I'd consumed too much alcohol. Daniel had stopped me from dancing on the tables then.
"That's what I thought!"
Actually, we kept each other grounded. Daniel was prone to being more than spur of the moment at times, too.
