Haunting - Daniel Ricciardo

Chapter 7

"Don't really like her" I say. Joelle starts smiling.

"Me neither!" she says, laughing. I laugh as well. You can't not laugh when you're around Joelle.

"She is so damn fake. She is only taking Daniel away from everyone else. You know the last time Daniel partied with his team? Abu Dhabi last year. He has not gone out any race this season because of that bitch" Joelle says, looking pissed off right now. So it wasn't just me. I'm glad that got clarified.

"And I think she's cheating on him" Joelle then says, making my eyes widen. I get a grin on my face.

"Who then?" I ask, extremely curious now.

"A team member from Ferrari. Ferrari is usually in the same hotel as we are in cities" Joelle says. I get an even wider grin on my face, making her frown.

"Let's try to get prove off that" I say, smiling at her. Joelle gets a grin on her face now as well. She and I are going to get along just fine.

"How are we supposed to do that, though?" she asks. I shrugg.

"Do you know which team member?" I ask. She nods. I tell her the plan and she likes it, so we leave the club after drinking two more cocktails, got to make it believable.

We knock on the door of the team member from Ferrari, giggling. He opens the door, standing there, shirtless. We can both look past him to see his bed. There is someone there.

"Hi!" Joelle says, giggling. He frowns.

"You are not our roommate" I say now, giggling as well. The men looks very, very confused. Joelle now looks at the bed as well.

"Oh, sorry for interupting! Have fun, you two!" she says and pulls me along, laughing. We stumble and laugh until we hear the door fall shut. We stop immediately.

"Okay, step two, we have to look if she is at Daniel's room. Just tell him you want to talk to him about something, okay?" Joelle asks. I had told her that I've known Daniel for a while. So I nod and we make our way to Daniel's room. Joelle's is next door, so she goes in there, waiting for me.

I knock on Daniel's door. A minute later, a sleepy looking Daniel opens the door, shirtless as well. He frowns when he sees me.

"Sien?" he asks. I look sad at him.

"Can we talk?" I ask him, trying to sound serious. He nods slowly, letting me go in. Like Joelle and I expected, the room is empty.

"Isn't Maya with you?" I ask him. Daniel looks confused himself.

"She was here when I went to sleep, she must have wanted to take a walk" Daniel mumbles, sitting down on the bed. This is killing me. I can't do this to him.

"Daniel, I'm here to talk about her. I, well we, think she's cheating on you. Joelle has had this thought for a while now" I say and Daniel frowns.

"So what makes you think that?"

"Well, Joelle told me with who she thought this and I said we should find out. So we came up with this plan. We knocked on the door of the man Joelle thinks she is with, and there was a girl laying in his bed, but we couldn't see who. And now Maya isn't here" I explain. Daniel just nods.

"Bring me to the room, then. I'll see for myself if it's her" Daniel says. I frown.

"Please, Sien. If Maya is cheating on me, I need to know" I just nod. Daniel puts on a shirt and grabs his room key card. I quickly text Joelle while walking. I stand at the corner, so that guy won't see me. Daniel knocks on the door. It opens again soon, but this time, Daniel pushes himself inside. I hear some yelling and then a door slam shut. It opens again and I just wait.
