Veni Vidi Amavi - [Daniel Ricciardo]

December 21, 2017.

     It was the last day of their honeymoon and Gudrun and Daniel were sad to leave. They wanted to make the last day a good one, but also one to relax and gather energy for the long way back to Australia. From there, Gudrun had time to collect as many of her belongings as she could, to take it to Monaco, where she would move in with Daniel. They slept in this morning, curled up under the sheets with each other to wake up at almost ten. "It's the last one". Daniel muttered a she leaned up on his elbow, looking at her beside him. "I know". She groaned, rubbing her face to get the sleep out. "And then?". She asked. "Monaco, and then". She repeated to indicate what she meant. "Christmas". Daniel chuckled. "We can have one day for ourselves and then the second day for family. My apartment is big enough for that". Gudrun nodded in response.

"I actually hate the family gathering at those celebratory days". She laughed. "I can understand where that comes from". Daniel laughed too. "But I don't see my family as often as you do of course". He added, his hand reaching out to caress her cheek as she gazed up at him. "We don't have much time for Christmas presents". She mentioned. "Do you want anything special?". Gudrun asked and he shook his head. "I already have something special". Daniel smiled and she gasped as she realized. "Stop". She hid her face behind her hands and he took hers in his to take them down again. "Let's do some groceries for the barbecue and then have a relaxing day at the pool. Have some margaritas, cocktails...". He summed up with a laugh. "Sure". Gudrun smiled. It was quiet as they still laid on the bed. "We're not moving". He laughed. "We're not". She added.

"Let's go". Daniel clapped his hands and stood up from the bed, wearing just his Calvin Klein boxers and it made her automatically look at his toned body. It made her wonder how they had been able to resist each other for two weeks. He hadn't laid his hands on her body in a sexual way yet. Probably because they didn't want to have a relationship build on lust. They wanted to fall in love with each other's personalities and not each others bodies. Well, how could you not fall in love with Daniel's delicious body though... "Quit the drooling, come on". Daniel pulled her ankles to shove her over the bed, making her giggle. "I'm on my way". Gudrun said and sat up to get out of bed. As Daniel was in the bathroom, she pulled some clean undergarment on and pulled a pair of jeans and her new Hard Rock cafe shirt out of the closet to put on. She moved to the kitchen to take a seat at the counter again, noticing he had put down a cup of coffee in front of her.

She smiled and moved the cup to her mouth to take a sip, noticing it was still very hot. Daniel leaned against the wall of the hallway as he called his friend back, who had called earlier, but they were still asleep. He watched how she moved her hands to her hair and started to braid it, too caught up in the moment by the strands of hair that twirled around her fingers and were put in place, it was almost hypnotic and it made him almost miss how his friend picked up the phone and said hello. "Hi, Steve. I saw your call on my phone. We were sleeping in this morning". Daniel explained and did a few steps back. "Asleep or busy with something else?". Steve teased and he laughed. "No, no other business. And before you ask it, I haven't 'done' her yet". Daniel continued, making his friend sigh. "All I want for you is to be happy with that girl, Dan. Are you?".

"Very". He smiled. "Gudrun is everything I would want in a woman". Daniel continued. "That's great to hear, I have missed you, I must say". His friend laughed and Daniel told him about the things they had done this week and Steve told him about how he was about to leave for a trip to New York with his girfriend. The two talked a bit more and said their goodbyes as he didn't want Gudrun to be all alone with breakfast. "Hey". He said, moving passed her and kissing her cheek. "One of my friends called. He's about to go to New York". He explained. "Cool, I'd love to see New York too, once". Gudrun smiled. "Then we're going to make it happen". Daniel simply said and she scoffed with a blush, not saying anything about it. "What do we need?". She asked, having a sticky note and a pen in her hand.
