I'm sat in the Australian's motorhome, but my mind isn't with him. All of my thoughts are with the Lando, who I just met today. There's something about the Brit, I just can't get him out of my head.
I look at my phone, scrolling through the pictures I found on Google Images. He seems to smile in every picture that is taken.
'Hello? Earth to Ava?' Daniel waves his hands in my sight, causing me to look at him.
'I'm sorry, I was just-.' I begin as the Australian laughs, and looks at my screen.
'Woah woah, that's Lando Norris," he cuts me off." Are you stalking him? '
'Shut up.'
'No, no, Ava, you're not just googling him. ' he begins, and a smirk appears on his face. 'Is something going on here?'
I sigh, and look at him. 'Okay, promise me that you won't laugh, nor tease me about it.'
Daniel sticks out his not-so-little pinky finger. 'Pinky promise?'
I shake my head, laughing at the childish gesture he just made, and wrap my little pinky around his. 'Pinky promise.'
'Tell me everything.'
'Okay, so he messaged me first. I didn't even know him, and he asked if I was Lewis' cousin, and if I was coming this Grand Prix. He even sent me an "X" after his last message.' I sat and I show him the conversation.
'Woah, stalker much.' He scoffs. 'Anything else?'
'We met, like today. He said hi and he walked me to your motorhome.'
'He walked you to my motorhome?'
I nod my head.
'He walked you to my motorhome?' he repeats, and I, once again, nod my head.
'Yeah, he told me that it wasn't that far away.'
'Ava, his motorhome is on the other side of the circuit. It's not really that close.' he tells me. 'I think he finds you attractive.'
I shake my head.
'He would never-'
'Ava, shut up, please? You're hot. You're Lewis' cousin. You've got his genes. Of course you're good looking.'
I shrug. 'I don't think he would go for me.'
Daniel lifts up his arms, and raises his eyebrows. 'Look, this is just what I think. It's my opinion.'
'Yeah.'
But your opinion isn't Lando's.
