Molly POV

I have one week at home with Lands before I fly to Florence to see my Grandparents. It's properly sunk in that I'm really going to miss him but we will be spending Christmas week together. We landed back in the UK yesterday and so far I've slept and done some laundry. I really want to spend the day with Lando but I don't want to come across as needy. I'm currently making breakfast in the kitchen and Lando walks in "Morning Mols, what ya making" I smile up at him "I was planning on pancakes" he grins "fancy making enough to share?" He questions me as he isn't on a strict diet really till after Christmas. I make us breakfast and I put a cappuccino on the coffee machine and wait for that to make before sorting lando a tea. We sit down and eat together "what are you doing today?" He asks me and I shrug my shoulders "I don't have any plans you?" He also shrugs "I was hoping you might want to hangout with me?" I grin as that is exactly what I wanted "sounds great! What shall we do?" He gives me a knowing look "wanna go to ikea?" I give out a squeal "yes! It's my favourite place in the world!" I say slightly over dramatically. He gives me a huge smile "let's go then! It's not too far of a drive" I jump up and sling my black Barbour jacket on over my sweatshirt and pull on my boots, it's a chilly day today. Lando meets me in the hallway after popping is trainers and coat on, we head out to my car and he demands to drive and I'm not in the mood to argue with him.

The closest IKEA is in Reading about an hour drive from our house. We chat in the car about what we need to get and we agree we could use some new pots and pans and I'm definitely getting some house plants to help brighten our home up. I'm really glad I didn't have to move out. I also decide to keep my eye out for some Christmas gifts as I'm only about half way done. I can do some in Italy but I would rather have as much done as possible. I'm more excited to see the designed little rooms and get some inspiration as our home sometimes feels more like a man cave than a shared house.

We slowly walk around talking about life and pretending to be different people in the set up rooms. A few fans spot Lando and come over to say hi and get photos. I always forget how tiring it is to walk about IKEA all day. We have picked up our pans and a few other bits for the house. I've decided to get a new dressing table and stool for my bedroom. "You do realise it will hit a point where we share a room" lando casually says as I'm deliberating plants "I suppose if things go well that will be true" he laughs at me "I mean we already live together so we are halfway there already" he says shrugging and passing me a succulent that I'm eyeing up but I cannot reach. His hand brushes my cheek "I love how you adore every single plant" he says softly whilst looking at me. My heart starts to race and I involuntarily lean towards his hand, he leans in and our lips brush softly. I can't believe we kissed, it felt perfect and I look up at him and blush "I've been wanting to do that for such a long time Mols" he says taking a hold of my hand pushing the trolley in his spare hand. He has to practically drag me round the furniture warehouse section as my brain is struggling to process what happened.

Lando POV

I finally kissed her and it was more magical than I thought it would be. I'm worried though as she seems to be in a daze. I have been watching the joy on her face all day and I just couldn't resist her any longer. We stop in the queue to pay and I look at her "are you okay, you have been super quiet" she blinks at me "I'm better than okay Lando but it's seems you have made my head go foggy" I relax slightly at the first part of her sentence. I'm glad she isn't mad at me for kissing her, I'm glad it happened.

Molly POV

Lando insists on paying for everything saying "my pay-check can handle it" whilst winking at me. I laugh and suddenly everything feels normal again. We blast songs in the car and end up singing badly the whole way home. What was already going to be a great day ended up being even better! I didn't think I would feel this happy about kissing him, but I can't get the feeling out of my mind. He helps me bring the shopping in the house and we spend an hour unboxing the next items for our home.
