#40 - Daniel Ricciardo

Requested by  tami_udvardy

#40 – Those things you said yesterday... Did you mean them?

I hear the doorbell ring, making me look up from my laptop, wondering who could be standing on the other side of the door. I didn't have any plans for today, at least not that I remember. I walk to the door and open it, only to find my boyfriend Daniel standing on the side.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, placing my hand on my hip. Last time I saw him, things weren't exactly left on good terms.

"Can we talk, please?" Daniel pleads, a sad look on his face, which is a rare sight to see.

"Yeah," I say, stepping aside to let him in.

"I just want to talk about last night," Daniel says as he sits down on the couch. I sit down next to him, leaving more space in between that usual. It's not that I'm still angry with him, but things are left unresolved. The things he said last night, they hurt.

"Me too."

"I don't know what happened last night. Thinking back, I don't even remember how we got to the point of fighting."

"Those things you said yesterday... did you mean them?"

"What?"

"Last night, you said stuff that really hurt me. Did you mean them?"

"I said a lot of things last night Y/N, you have to be more specific."

"You said that life was easier before me and that if things would be better if I could come along to races more often."

"No, I didn't mean that! You know I don't feel like that!"

"Then why did you say it?"

'It was the heat of the moment. I was angry and I had to take it out. You just happened to be around and I'm really sorry for that."

"Why were you so angry anyway?"

"Just something I read online, about us. They said ridiculous things and it just pissed me off," Daniel sighs and I place my hand on his arm.

"Don't let things like that get to you Dan. They will write what they want, even if none of it is true."

"I know, I know. It won't happen again. Especially after what it cost me."

"What do you mean?"

"Because of that stupid article, we had a fight and I missed out on holding you in my arms last night. I don't want that," Daniel says, making me smile. He's such a sweetheart.

"Well, you can do that tonight."

"I know, but I still missed out on a night. A night I'll never get back," Daniel says, pouting. I laugh, knowing he's only joking. Well, partly at least.

"We can cuddle now?" I suggest, making Daniel smile widely. He gets up and picks me up, carrying me to my bedroom. He puts me down before lying next to me. I chuckle and cuddle up to Daniel, who wraps his arms around me.

"I love you," Daniel says as he gives me a kiss on my temple.

"I love you too."
