Nelson Piquet Jr. ~ NIO Formula E Team

"I love you... I was afraid to tell you, but it's true..." (1205 words)

"Y/N, why are you putting yourself through this?" Her friend sighed defeatedly as she took a swig of her beer and looked at Y/N, who looked miserable and felt that she didn't want to be there. "I'm saying this as your friend, but I don't like seeing you like this."

"I'm trying to get over him, I really am," she sighed as she took another sip of her drink, "but, I just can't do it." Looking over at the direction of her good friend, Nelson, who was with a group of friends, she had a smile on her face and shook her head. "Well, I have a ton of work to do for my job tomorrow, so I'm just going to head out of here."

"You're not being serious, are you?" F/N frowned as she finished her beer and looked at Y/N; feeling surprised that she was going to call it a night. "Y/N, it's only like ten minutes to eleven..."

"Yeah, I'm just not feeling the need to party and spend the rest of the night drinking." She shrugged her shoulders and stood up from the stool as she grabbed her stuff before leaving the scene. "I'll see you later, F/N."

A few moments after she left, Nelson walked up to F/N with a look of confusion on his face; wanting to talk to Y/N. "Did she just leave?" He vaguely asked the question to her friend and thought about why she left early.

F/N nodded her head and took a deep breath as she felt like she had to do something. "Yeah, Y/N's walking back to her apartment. Why may you ask?"

"Oh, I-uh-I," his face started to heat up and turn a bright red as he tried to come up with an answer, "I just wanted to ask her about something."

"Nelson, I know both you and Y/N pretty well, maybe even better than you know about yourselves." She laughed and smiled as she thought of what to tell him, "and right now, you're not telling me the truth. So, tell me the damn truth right now, Piquet."

He sighed and started to play with his dark brown hair, trying to tell her something that he was afraid of admitting. "I wanted to admit my feelings for her and how I felt like we could become more than friends..."

"I'll tell you this right now, Nelson," F/N spoke up as she looked at the Brazilian in front of her and wanted him to go out and tell Y/N, "she has some strong feelings for you. I want you to go out there and tell her how you feel before it's too late!"

"You want me to tell her?" He exhaled deeply as his amber brown eyes flickered towards the exit, "and you want me to do it right now?"

"Just go and do it," she laughed and received her drink from the bartender before looking at her friend, "I guarantee you, you won't regret it."

"Y/N! Y/N, I really need to talk to you!" She heard a familiar Brazilian accent speak up as she continued along her walk back to her apartment. Knowing it was Nelson who was running after her, she stopped walking and allowed him to catch up. He panted as soon as he came up to her, which made Y/N laugh at the fact that he got winded after walking for a few minutes.

"You got my full attention, Piquet," Y/N smirked as she turned around to face him, wanting to hear what he had to say. "What would you like to talk about—"

She was interrupted by him kissing her on the lips out-of-the-blue, which she was caught off guard by, but nonetheless; she felt herself kiss him back. They stayed in that position for a few minutes before they felt rain drops falling down on them. Their cheeks heated up as they pulled away from the kiss; feeling like they were in a cheesy rom-com movie, but they still haven't said a word.

"I love you," he told her straightforwardly as his radiant amber eyes looked into her sparkling E/C eyes. "I was afraid to tell you, but it's true."

"Really?" Y/N was surprised with his statement, feeling like she was in a dream and none of this was true. "Is this actually the truth?"

"It's the truth, querida," a chuckle escaped from his mouth as he nodded his head and smiled from ear-to-ear. "I'm not lying to you, I do genuinely and truly love you."

"I-I love you too, Nelson," she giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, which instinctively made him encircle his arms around her waist. "I always wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of the possible rejection."

"Well, in that case," the Brazilian smirked and looked at Y/N, "may I kiss you once again?"

"You don't have to ask," Y/N laughed wholeheartedly as she brought him in for another kiss. She didn't care she was kissing the man she was in love with outside in the rain. Before the rain started to downpour, they pulled away from the kiss once more and Y/N had a smile on her face. "We should probably get inside and out of the rain..."

Nodding his head, Y/N grabbed his hand and led them both inside to her apartment; which was only a few steps away. Nelson and Y/N smiled at each other as they entered her apartment and it was now almost close to midnight.

"Thanks for letting me stay here for the night," he looked at the photos of Y/N from her childhood and growing up. "Should I sleep in the spare bedroom or..?"

"You can sleep in my bedroom with me, if you're comfortable with it," Y/N spoke up as she grabbed a few towels from the nearby closet, "I'm not going to force you, I just want you to be comfortable."

"I'd be happy to share the bed with you," Nelson laughed wholeheartedly and playfully shook his head as he grabbed a towel from her. "And, maybe we can talk about going out on our first date sometime in the near future?"

"We sure can," she laughed as she trudged to the bedroom to get out of her wet clothes and change into something comfier. "But, right now, we should get changed out of these before something happens to us..."

Guess who's back after not updating with anything for 5 days? I apologize for not updating, I had a ton of homework to do every single night. Just to get back into the swing of things, I wrote this one today, but fret not, there are the other ones coming soon. And yes, I did change my username from @/wafflevandoorne to @/robinfriends and I also changed the covers for both of the one shots books a few days ago, mainly because I wanted to change my account up a little bit. Anyhoo, keep an eye out for the Esteban Ocon one shot, which will be up next, I promise. And other than that, I hope you enjoyed this one shot; have a GREAT rest of your day/night, and I'll see you later! Bye!
