One Shots - F1&F2

Daniel Ricciardo - Cheater?

"You're kidding, right?" I ask my friend, Elisa, hoping with all my heart that she is indeed kidding. Because if she's not, everything I know will change.

"No, I'm not. I'm sorry Y/N, but me and some others all saw it," Elisa says, making my heart drop. This can't be true.

"I can't believe it, he's not like that."

"We saw it, if you don't believe me, ask one of the others."

"No, I believe you. I just don't believe Daniel would cheat on me."

"I'm sorry Y/N."

"And just a few weeks before the wedding! Why would he do that?"

"I don't know."

"I mean, if he doesn't love me anymore, why didn't he just tell me?" I say, not even really listening to what Elisa has been saying.

"You'll have to ask him."

"No, I don't want to talk to him, I don't want to see him."

"You have to Y/N, you can't just end it like that."

"He ended it when he cheated," I say as I fold my arms. I know I'm stubborn, but everything I thought I knew has changed so I feel like I'm allowed to.

"Y/N, be reasonable. Maybe he has a really good explanation, maybe the girl jumped on him and he couldn't push her off. I only saw it, I don't know the story behind it," Elisa says and I think about it for a few moments. Maybe she's right, maybe this isn't the end of me and Daniel.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him."

I've never been so nervous to talk to Daniel. Our relationship has always been very natural. Everything that happened between us just happened, it was never forced. Sure, we had our occasional arguments, but nothing too crazy. Nothing like this. Which is why I still can't believe Daniel actually cheated. It's so unlike him.

"Y/N?" I hear Daniel say, making me look up.

"Hey," I say as he sits down next to me.

"What's wrong? You sounded worried on the phone, like something is bothering you."

"There is."

"What is it?" Daniel asks, which kind of annoys me. He knows what he did, why is he asking me what's wrong.

"I should ask you that."

"What?"

"I know, Daniel."

"Know what?"

"Know what? The fact that you cheated on me!" I exclaim, making Daniel's eyes widen.

"Cheated on you? What? When?"

"Saturday night."

"How do you know I cheated on you?"

"Elisa saw it, along with some other friends."

"Saturday night?" Daniel asks to make sure.

"Yes, the day before yesterday," I say, as if that would help him remember.

"I barely remember anything from that night. Me and the guys went out and we had a quite a lot to drink. They said it was a pre-bachelor party or something. I think they just wanted an excuse to drink, but I went along with it anyway."

"So you don't remember anything?"

"No, I don't. If they say I cheated, maybe I did."

"So you're saying you're capable of cheating on me?" I say surprised.

"Maybe, I don't know."

"Why would you do it though? Do you not love me anymore?"

"It's not like I want to cheat on you! You know I love you with all my heart, I don't want anyone else besides you! But you also know I can do crazy things when I'm drunk."

"When you're drunk, you do and say the things you're afraid to when you're sober. So if you cheated, that means you wanted to, you just were afraid to do so," I say as my phone beeps. I look at the message and see that Elisa sent me a photo. I open it and see Daniel, with his lips on another girl. I show Daniel the picture and his face completely drops.

"So I guess I did cheat," he sighs and it makes me feel a little better that he feels just as bad as me.

"But why?"

"I don't know, but it's not because I wanted to or because of I was afraid to do it when I was sober or something. If anything, it was a big mistake."

"But it still happened. And it's something I didn't know you were capable of. It scares me."

"I understand."

"I fully trusted you and with this, you damaged my trust," I say and I see sadness in Daniel's eyes. I know for a fact that mine show the same.

"So what now?"

"I don't know," I say as tears appear in my eyes. I don't want this. I just want us to be happy and get married in a few weeks. This wasn't supposed to happen.

"Do you love me?"

"Of course I love you!"

"Then why should anything change?"

"This happened Daniel, we can't just ignore it! I can't just ignore it."

"Then what do you want?"

"Time."

"Time?"

"To think, to figure things out. I just need time. I don't want to make any rushed decisions that I'll regret later."

"You're thinking about ending things?" Daniel asks, the shock obvious on his face.

"Yes. No. I don't know. Like I said, I need time."

"Okay, if that's what you need, I'll give you that. We'll postpone the wedding until further notice, until you've figured out what you want."

"Okay."

"Just know that I love you," Daniel says as he caresses my cheek. He gives me a soft kiss before getting up.

"I do know that."

"Good, never forget it."
