Formula 1 Imagines

15 > Daniel Ricciardo - I missed you

requested by artvlewis

The first time was a drunk mistake.

It was after the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix where Daniel had won amazingly. Of course, it had lead to a night full of celebrations and lots of alcohol. The next morning, you had woke up naked in Daniel's bed with a huge hangover. The morning wasn't awkward at all, both of you didn't say anything as if what happened the previous night was completely normal. And it did become normal. Since that day, it wasn't rare that Daniel would show up at your apartment in Milton Keynes or at your hotel room when you were on the road for a race weekend and vice-versa. Being a part of Daniel's team with Red Bull Racing as a mechanic meant that you were following him almost everywhere he went and it was a plus for the both of you.

Neither of you was looking for a relationship, just someone to spend the night with during lonely times. Neither of you had specifically said it out loud, but it was clear that you had a friend with benefits kind of deal. No strings attached, simply two friends that slept together from time to time.

It was more than fine until you eventually fell in love with Daniel Ricciardo. If there was one thing you were good at was hiding your feelings. So that's what you did: you kept your mouth shut and acted as if you had no romantic feelings for the Australian driver. Spending some time alone with your family far away from him during the summer break had helped. But now the Formula 1 season was restarting again and it was time for the Belgium Grand Prix.

It was Wednesday night and you didn't even know that Daniel was already in Spa when you received a text message from him.

Daniel: room 609

He didn't need to say more. You knew perfectly well that it was an invitation to his hotel room to spend the night with him. You didn't hesitate, you took your backpack and packed some clothes for the next day in addition to some items that you would need at the track the next day. You double checked if you had your hotel room card before walking towards Daniel's room on the sixth floor. You knocked on the door and soon enough, the door opened. Daniel pulled you inside into his arms before closing the door and pressing your back against it. "Hello you," he whispered in your ear before kissing you in a very passionate kiss.

Daniel rolled off you, pathing hard as he removed the used condom and threw it in the bin before putting a clean pair of boxers on. You got up from the bed as well cleaning yourself in the bathroom before taking one of Daniel's shirt for you to sleep. You got back in the comfort of the bed under the duvet where Daniel eventually joined you, pushing your body against his muscled chest.

"I've missed you during the break," confessed Daniel before pressing a soft kiss on your forehead. You froze, almost believing it. You almost believed that he had missed you. Not the mind-blowing sex that you would have. You. You were just a girl he was sleeping with from time to time, here and there. Of course, he wouldn't miss you. You laughed at your stupidity in your head. "You've missed the sex you mean," you teased, but deep down, your heart broke a little. You wanted him to miss you, you wanted to be more to him than just a random girl he had sex with. "No, I mean yes," he chuckled, he couldn't lie that he had missed you sexually over the past three weeks, but it wasn't just that. "But I mostly missed moments like this," he said and he started to play with your hair and you couldn't help but shiver. "Cuddling, you sleeping in my arms, waking up with you in my arms," he added and you swallowed hard. You had no idea what to say, taken back by his words. You also loved these moments, this was one of the reasons why you had fallen in love with him. You had no idea he felt the same way as you. Just like you, he had been good at hiding his feelings. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that fuck," he cursed and he started to pull his body away from you but you clung to him, preventing him to leave. "Don't leave," you managed to get out. You nuzzled your head in his neck, pressing a light kiss there causing goosebumps to rise on his arms. "I like these moments too and I've also missed you," you said in his ear. You pressed a kiss on his check, but Daniel turned his head so he could kiss you.

It wasn't like the kisses that you had previously shared. This one screamed love, emotions and so much more than chasing after some fun. Daniel smiled against your lips after pulling away a bit. He kept pecking your lips, not getting enough of them while smiling. "Can you be any cuter?" you chuckled, finding him more than adorable. "I'm just happy," he smiled before kissing you again. This time the kiss got more and more heated as he switched position, settling between your legs pushing them wide open with his large hands. He pulled away again, taking in your beauty as you laid there, wearing nothing but one of his shirt. His eyes finally reached yours, a boyish grin laid on his face. "Ready for round 2?"
