"What are you thinking about?" asked Lando, who had his gaze fixed on me. 

I looked up and said "huh" 

He started laughing "were you daydreaming again" he said with a grin. 

I looked at him pouting. 

"Don't pout at me" he said laughing. 

I continued to stare at him, pouting. 

"I'm going to sleep, so goodnight princess" he said with a wink. 

My heart started beating faster. What did he just call me? 

"Princess? Where did that come from?" I asked blushing. 

"That's my chosen name for you, and I'm going to use it often. Look how cute you are when you blush" he said smiling. 

I looked the other way "shut up, goodnight" I said still blushing. 

I turned towards the hotel door but he grabbed my waist. 

"Goodnight princess sleep well" he said with his arm tightly around my waist. 

I looked at him, while he was smiling at me. 

"Goodnight" I said struggling. 

He let his arm go around my waist and smiled one more time before walking away. With butterflies in my stomach, I walked into the hotel room. 

"So what exactly is your plan?" said Max who was sitting on the couch drinking Red Bull.

"I have no plan," I said with rolling eyes. 

He started laughing "Come on, I can see you're madly in love with him" he said. 

I turned red, almost as red as a tomato 

"Not at all" I said quickly. 

I looked around to avoid eye contact with Max. He knows exactly when I am lying. 

"Lila, I've known you long enough" he said with a grin. 

I looked at him reluctantly "okay, I like him and now?" I said with my arms crossed. 

"Nothing, I just wanted you to admit it. You're extremely stubborn" he said. 

"That's your call not mine" I said with a grin.

He started to nod "that's right" 

I walked over to the soft bed I would be sleeping on tonight. I sat down and looked at Max who started drinking his Red Bull at ease. 

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he said frowning.

"What did you mean by what is your plan?" I said as I scratched behind my ear. 

"Well, how are you going to flirt Lando?" he said with a smirk. 

I grabbed the pillow that was on the bed and threw it at his head. 

"Uh Ouch" he said sarcastic as he put the pillow beside him. 

"Is that supposed to hurt?" he said laughing. 

"Well it does" I said with my arms at my side. 

"That worked out well." he said as he stood up. 

"I just want to know if you're going to England tomorrow with Lando" 

"Yes I am, but I'll just see you again at the next race I guess" 

He nodded and said "okay, but don't forget to keep me posted on how you're doing then okay?"
