That night with Nicky was the best, or at least the best of the nights I could remember. I don't remember a man ever looking at me with such lust or love as he peppered my entire body with soft kisses. He did everything he could to make sure that I was feeling nothing but pleasure during the special intimate evening. My skin burned under his hot touch and I've never felt more loved than I did that night. Our bodies seem to fit together perfectly. He would make eye contact with me just to make sure I was completely okay with everything he was doing to me, letting me know that we can stop if it gets too much for me. His pace was loving and deep, and I definitely didn't have any doubts about how much he loved me. I never wanted the evening to end, but exhaustion eventually got the better of us both. I didn't have any worries remaining by the time he finished. Nicky cradled my naked body tightly against his chest as we slept, the only covering being a thin sheet so that we didn't get too hot. I loved being so close with him. I longed for my heart to catch up with what I want to feel... I want to love Nicky; it'd make my life so much easier.

I didn't want to wake up the next morning; that would accepting that it was Monday and I was due to go back to Surrey. Nicky offered to drive me back. I was selfish enough to take him up on the offer because I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible before we're apart for three weeks. My heart never failed to feel a little tight whenever I remembered that we wouldn't be seeing each other for three weeks. FaceTiming was not the same, but it'll have to be good enough. I would've tried to convince either him or Lando to fly back in between races, but the quarantine restrictions would mean that they'd have to isolate for two weeks upon their return to the UK. They were necessary rules that I couldn't argue no matter how much they inconvenienced us.

The musical beeping from Nicky's phone was persistent. Nicky appeared to be an incredibly deep sleeper, or was able to ignore the noise. I definitely couldn't. With a groan of annoyance, I sat up. The thin cover slipped down my body as I stretched across to the bedside table where the phone was. I clasped it in my hand and fell back down onto the mattress beside Nicky. The notification was for the doorbell, which Nicky had synced with his phone: someone is at the door. I was unsure about what I should do. This isn't my house and this isn't my phone, but Nicky is asleep and I don't want to wake him up when he has to drive me all the way back home later today. My intentions weren't bad so surely it's not a problem.

Sitting up a little straighter, I pulled the thin cover back up to my chest as a shiver overcame me. I answered the call. Standing on the top step with his hand over his head to try and shield himself from the rain was none other than my best friend. His other arm was tightly wrapped around himself. For a moment, I wondered how he knew where Nicky lived, but then quickly remembered that he had given me a lift here before when he had a

"Lando?" I asked in confusion. Upon hearing my voice, his eyes widened in relief and he gasped lightly.

"Ly?" His voice sounded hopeful. "Oh my God, I thought no one was going to answer. I'm so happy to hear your voice."

"It's nice to see you, but what are you doing here?" As I spoke, Nicky finally stirred beside me. I averted my gaze from the phone to his peaceful face as he slowly opened his eyes. His brow quickly furrowed when he noticed his phone in my hand, so I showed him the screen. Lando was still standing on the top step.

Lando ran his tongue over his lips. "I thought I'd save Nicholas the journey and give you a lift home. I-" a shiver interrupted his sentence, "can you just buzz me up? I'm freezing my tits off down here."
