"Why are you up?" you're disturbed by the voice of your boyfriend. It's three am, and you're sitting in his kitchen with a cup of tea.
"I don't know. I just can't sleep," you smile at Lando slightly. You think you probably look horrific, but he would swear that you look breathtaking. Maybe he loves you the most like this - wearing his t-shirt that's way too big for you, without combed hair and no makeup.
"Why are you up? I thought you were tired after the race weekend," you exclaim confusedly.
"I am, but my bed is so cold without you in it, and furthermore, I don't have my little spoon," he confesses with a smile on his face.
"Dance with me, please," he murmurs, his voice husky.
Taking the phone out of his pocket, he turns on the music and holds his hand out to you, his grey gaze full of promise and longing and humour. He is totally beguiling, and you're bewitched. You place your hand in his. He grins lazily down at you and pulls you into his embrace, his arm curling around your waist, and he starts to sway.
You put your free hand on his shoulder and grin up at him, caught in his infectious, playful mood. And he starts to move. You cover the floor, from the kitchen to the living room and back again, whirling and turning in time to the music. And he makes it so effortless for you to follow.
"I'm a horrendous dancer," he says as you glide around the dining table.
"I ain't any better," foot forward. Backward. You can't remember the last time you've done this.
"Nah, you're perfect," he murmurs, then kisses you sweetly. "Well, that bought some colour to your cheeks," he says when he notices that you're blushing. "Let me just adore you for a bit," he whispers while looking directly into your eyes.
"Stop it," you giggle and cover your face with your hands.
"Don't do that ever again." He puts your hands off your face. "You're too gorgeous for that, love." He presses his lips against yours again. Your fingers are wandering through his hair, pulling a few strands from time to time, leaving a mess behind.
"What are you thinking of?" his voice gets you back to reality when you're silent for too long. He's still holding you tight. You look up to meet his eyes, they look slightly concerned, yet a smile appears on his lips, and you show him one back.
"It's not important," you quickly shake your head.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asks, furrowing his eyebrows together as he studies your face. "You're quiet today, missy."
"I'm just too busy loving you," You can't help your carefree laugh. Lando grins down at you as the song comes to a close.
"Busy loving me?" He's pulling a grimace that gets you to laugh out.
You nod as nonchalantly as you can manage under his intense, amused scrutiny.
"Yeah. You're constantly on my mind." His face splits into a huge grin, and he shakes his head.
"You don't want to know how many times I thought about you while racing."
"True, I don't wanna know that." you tangle your fingers into his curly hair. To mess it up and then calm it down again.
"There is a kind of sweetness in the way how you love me. I wasn't perfect before we met. I won't be perfect after either. But you have made me real in a way I never knew was possible," he confesses while looking into your emerald eyes. Not many people would say that, but Lando was a hopeless romantic same like you.
"You know how to be romantic," you whisper softly into his ear.
You set your head on his shoulder. You continue to dance, too lost in the music to halt. Time is passing as your feet move in the steps of the slow dance.
You bring your head up and sleepily open your eyes. He leans in and plants his lips on yours. You wrap your arms around his neck, and he in return around your waist. He holds you tight as the kiss continues.
Uncontrollable feelings surge through your body, and your fingers tingle in delight. Lando's hand brushes across your cheek softly. Your body is acting on its own, with no chains to hold you back from this pure paradise.
