Tomorrow Amelia and I would fly out to Spain. It was evening by now in England and Amelia disappeared into the stables after dinner in her riding clothes still on. It was raining hard as I looked out of the window where she was jumping in the rain with Quince. The days were longer light which was great but the rainy days were getting a little worse in this time of the year. Amelia didn't seem to care tho.

Maybe I should just cancel our trip together and go alone? Amelia couldn't go without her horses... that's what makes Amelia. Same goes with Flo. She can barely leave them for a day when she's sick or something. She just wants to prove that she has enough love for me... that's enough right?

The 6 AM alarm blurred thru the room as my arms were wrapped around Amelia her body. She stopped her alarm before getting out of the bed leaving me alone as I fell asleep immediately again. She would probably go feed the horses and stuff. After 2 hours my alarm went off as well. I climbed out and made myself ready for the flight. I walked to the stables to see she was untacking Jazzy. The chestnut mare looked a little sweaty as the saddle was lifted from her back. She made some crazy faces before Amelia gave her a few treats. She turned her head around and smiled to me softly.

Amelia: "morning."

Lando: "I thought we said 4 days of no working?"

Amelia: "I only did Jazzy. I'm the only one who rides her so if I rode her today she would be better on scheme as Flo would take her out for a lunge and a walk in between the days."

Lando: "okay... Jazzy is gonna be the exception."

She pecked my lips gently before quickly cleaning the stuff and feeding the horses. We went inside again and as I made breakfast Amelia went upstairs to shower and pack the last things for her suitcase.

Her white Nike AirForce shoes made tapping sounds as she ran down the stairs in a casual outfit. I kissed her cheek before she turned away with her plait of breakfast. She sat down on one of the chairs as I sat down opposite of her.

Amelia: "planning for the day?"

Lando: "when we land we bring our luggage to the room and change if we want too and then head straight to track. I've media duties and track walk."

Amelia: "and what do I do?"

Lando: "come with me to everything."

Amelia: "they will assume that we're together."

Lando: "well would that be so bad?"

Amelia: "a little because officially we aren't."

She stuck her tongue out to me before she placed a bite in her mouth. She was right... I still hadn't asked her to be my girlfriend. I had a small necklace with an L on it in a box with me all the time for if I found the right moment. I placed the box on the table and pushed it to her. She looked at the box and then into my eyes. She opened the box slowly and looked at the round pendant with the elegant L in it. She looked up to me with a little bit of a shocked expression.

Lando: "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Amelia: "of course I will!"

I stood up from my chair and kissed her lips gently while we both smiled. Amelia held her high ponytail away as I clicked the necklace on together with the other one she was already wearing. She wrapped her arms around my neck while mine snaked around her waist pulling her body as close as possible to me. Her head buried in my shoulder as I placed a kiss on her temple. We let go off each other as we started cleaning the table. We washed the dishes and placed them away before Amelia pulled on her outdoor boots and whistled on her fingers. Benson jumped up from his pillow and ran towards the front door where Amelia had just zipped her coat close. She opened the door and walked outside with the dog. I went upstairs and grabbed my black suitcase and Amelia her silver suitcase. I brought them downstairs before taking both of our backpacks and also bringing them downstairs. I pulled on my shoes and rolled the suitcases outside placing them in Amelia her BMW. Amelia walked back inside the house and placed on her white sneakers while turning the heater down a few degrees.

Amelia: "Lan?"

Lando: "yea?"

Amelia: "do we need our coats?"

Lando: "not really. It's warm in Spain."

Amelia: "okay."

She pulled off her coat while I walked inside to grab our backpacks. She locked the door behind me and tried taking one of the backpacks.

Lando: "nooo!"

Amelia: "I can't let you do all the work."

Lando: "you can and you will."

She smiled at me before I nodded to the passenger seat. She looked at it and back to me.

Amelia: "so now I don't get to drive my own car as well?"

Lando: "I'm the driver here baby."

Amelia: "yea but the only thing you know is speed."

I poked her in her side making a squeal escape thru her lips as she ducked away with her side. We both climbed into the car. I sat behind the wheel while Amelia sat in the passenger's seat. I started the engine and drove off of the drive way.

Lando: "you don't mind going public right away?"

Amelia: "I don't mind going public or staying a secret. As long as we're happy."

I smiled at the brunette girl next to me who typed in the address of the parking lot at the airport. The light of the navigation shining into her light brown almost pastel brown eyes. When she was done she leaned back in the comfortable black chairs.

Lando: "you did pack that black evening dress right?"

Amelia: "I did yes."

Lando: "great."

I took her hand in mine and placed a few kisses on her knuckles. She let our hands rest in the middle. The car was automatic which was quite comfortable to drive. We listened to the radio while we silently drove to the airport. When we were there we stepped out of the car. I opened the trunk and pulled out suitcases out while Amelia took our backpacks out of the back seats. I threw my backpack on and let it rest on my back. Amelia did the same with her back only letting it rest on one of her shoulders. I took the suitcases and rolled them as Amelia walked next to me. Our covid masks hanging on our chin das we walked to the big hall in the airport. When we went inside Amelia pulled her mask over her nose before doing the same with mine.

Lando: "thank you."

Amelia: "no problem."

We got our boarding passes and gave away our suitcases before heading to the gate passing some of the other check points. I saw Charlotte, John and some other team members in McLaren wear. We walked towards them and stood still. Charlotte smiled to Amelia who was stood next to her.

Charlotte: "hai! You must be Amelia?"

Amelia: "absolutely right."

Charlotte: "I'm Charlotte, Lando's PR."

They started a conversation about... I don't exactly know to be honest. I was talking to John. Our flight started boarding so we all went to check our passes. I lost Amelia out of my eyesight. I looked around me but couldn't see the smaller brunette girl. I knew she would sit next to me so I just went into the plane and waited for her. I heard her muffled voice and looked up to see her laughing with Charlotte. She laid her backpack in the head space before climbing over my legs and sitting at the window seat just like she preferred. She smiled at me before looking at the time on her phone. The picture was a newer one of her and Jazzy.

(Imagine her hair to be brown! The color change of my pony is from the clipping!)

It was a cute picture. She laid her phone between her legs and looked over the airport as the last people boarded. The plane started rolling over the airport as Amelia rested her head on top of mine. She looked with me on my phone as I played a game. I looked at her face from this angle her freckles really popped off. I placed a kiss on her hair before going on with the game. Amelia pulled her phone out and placed her AirPods Pro in her ears before she opened Netflix. She had downloaded a serie before hand and clicked on it letting it play. She sat with her back in my side as my arm was wrapped over her stomach. Her head resting against my shoulder as she was softly biting her nail. I stole one of her AirPods and placed it in my own ear. She looked up at me and smiled before looking back at her screen which she had turned slightly for me to watch as well.
