The Handsome Artist (DR)

(Masterlist)

From a little plant store in Santa Monica to a luxurious and reputable tattoo parlour in West Hollywood.

Abigail Hopper was in that deep place where you think you will never love again. Right after the worst break-up of her life, she thought she had lost everything she had loved. Luckily, Molly was there. Molly was energetic and never thought thighs enough to actually regret. It was her who pushed her to West Hollywood, she got everything ready. She kind of was her cupid. She was the one who brought Daniel into her life.

Daniel was fresh air. He was the warm sun on cold days and the sea breeze at night. He was everything. She thought she would never love again. How wrong she was.

How do we say goodbye?

pairing - f1drivers/2022

summary - this is pt2 of “How do I say goodbye?” 

warnings -  mentions of death, explicit language, description of a crash.

word count: 1.255

“I wonder if I was in a coma, who would visit me in the hospital?”

For the drivers, hearing that letter was something, to imagine a member of their family thinking about their goodbye was not very common. Inexplicable and sad.

Everyone was in the hospital waiting to enter your room and see you, to dedicate words that without knowing if they would do any good, help you heal, wake up, laugh with them at the jokes, comfort them when they thought they would lose you or at least say goodbye.

How to say goodbye?

“Good morning, are you all related to Miss Brooks? - a chorused yes was heard in the waiting room. "Well, please, the first person may enter, take as much time as you need.”

Between them they all exchanged glances, they had never heard a doctor say such a thing, considering 19 people in the waiting room. Lando and Alex sat with tears about to come out of their eyes. Daniel turned his gaze to the door of your room and walked in. For Daniel, being the soul of the group by always having a smile on his face is an incredible quality but seeing you on that gurney with lots of wires, a breathing mask and no trace of your cheerful look and contagious smile broke his heart. What could he say? It’s like losing your little sister. He pulled a chair closer to you and took your hand, cold and without a trace of warmth.

  “I’m afraid, afraid of losing you, much more afraid of leaving Formula 1. You always know what to say and how to make us laugh. You’re not afraid of what people will say about you. We are not best friends like you are with Alex but I don’t know what my life would be…our life without you” Daniel felt the tears falling and uncontrollably “I’m sorry but….. Please fight and recover, I will wait for you to show you Perth as you have always wanted, accompany you in your next podiums and live life” With a last look, Daniel gets up from the chair and before leaving he says what he thinks is right in case you don’t come back “Don’t say goodbye again, please, I love you and I am not good at goodbyes and even more when I know you are coming back”.

Alex is the next to enter the room next to George. Your teammate is not feeling well but is still very sure what to say to you “Lily says hi, she’s sorry she can’t be here and that she’s waiting for you to play golf together, clearly you’re her favorite student” He looks up and George encourages him to continue “I hate this. You have been an amazing teammate, you care about everyone on the team and you have accomplished so much more than I have this season, no, that has never bothered me because I am happy for your accomplishments as you are for mine and please wake up. You are our family, we are heartbroken and we don’t know what to do after seeing how you were taken out of the car. No one will replace your place Alice, I…I want you to know that you are our favorite person”. George, who has tears forming in his eyes says “We will wait for you and we don’t accept that you will give up”.

Lando enters the room and the image of everyone around your helmet, remembering your short F1 career makes him sigh sadly “I never thought you were so sentimental. Although it’s not your fault, I’m really sorry that the FIA is so stupid and they don’t see what their actions cause” The British man runs his hands over his face trying to think what he can say that won’t make him cry a lot more. “I don’t want to say goodbye to you, you are my other sister, my best friend and…and it’s not right for me to tell you but Zak made an offer for you to be with me next season and I’ve been wanting to tell you for weeks because I admire you and I want you with me or without me to achieve your dreams and be the best female driver ever” Another sigh. “I promise if you wake up I will stop pulling your hair so you hear me before everyone else, stop calling you in the middle of the night for nonsense and only post pictures of you on networks that you like. I miss you, we all do and we want to see you competing.”

Carlos seeing you in such a way on the stretcher closes his eyes and sighs. Since you met you have considered him a big brother and he is one of the people who suffers the most from your jokes “I never expected to see you like this, pequeña. I called your parents yesterday and cried with them. Apart from Isa, I think you’re the only girl my parents know and well…I don’t want the last image I see of you to be here” The Spaniard sits back and watches your slow way of breathing. “The Canadian GP was postponed. Your accident has caused noise and no one has the head to get in the car and race with an empty seat. You will be back and stronger than ever, we have no doubt about that. The rest of the world has yet to see what Alice is capable of.”

Charles and Pierre are the only ones who are dedicated to keeping you company, words are superfluous and the sentiment is the same, they want you to come back and be the soul of the grid again.

Yuki leaves next to your bed a Koala doll, one of your favorite animals and hopes that when you see it, a smile will appear on your face. He’s not very good with words, but the Japanese guy has always enjoyed your company and your efforts to get a smile out of him and give him ideas on how to ruin the intro of the AlphaTauri podcast. He takes your hand and says the only sensible thing and that if perhaps you listen to him, know that it comes from his heart “We love you and we need you. Without you we are not the same and I don’t want that feeling to be the constant reminder of you.”

Checo and Max enter the room together. Checo prays in Spanish while Max gives you one of his serious looks. Without expressing it, he feels fear, dread, anger that you will give up and not come back. Not having a partner to practice with on the simulator or running in the mornings or practicing phrases to annoy the press. With a simple “please” he takes your hand and follows his partner out of the room.

Lewis and Sebastian are dedicated to reminding you of the times they gave you the lessons to get you started successfully in F1, clearly you heard them those times. They hope to see you reach the championship, to be a star and the inspiration for the next generation. They hope they are right.

The rest of the grid visits you and gives you words of encouragement to heal and return to your team and family. They are not certain what is coming for you, but their minds don’t want to think about a memorial or a funeral. Traces of past memories of people who have meant so much in their lives make their presence known and for you to enter into those memories would be the worst of this season…of this life.

June 27, 2022 at 02:37 marked the date when you moved your left hand and opened your eyes, alone in a hospital room, ready to move on with your life, ready to hug your friends and tell them you heard them and thank them, ready to put on your helmet and get in your car and make history.

Ready to run off to a new adventure

‘cause you’re not ready to say goodbye.

The handsome artist. 1. (Daniel Ricciardo)

Fidelity. Abigail's friend convinces her to get a tattoo, she is glad she did.

MASTERLIST. Moodboard and Playlist.

Note: here's the first part in celebration of Daniel's birthday! Hope you like it!

"How would it solve my problems?"

"It won't. But you would look so fucking good on it."

I looked at Molly. She wasn't a woman of good ideas. But she was definetly convincing me.

"And... What do I get?"

She opened a beer can and drank.

"What do you like?"

"Plants"

She laughed a bit and looked at me.

"Plants then." She sat with me. "Listen, I know this guy. He is good. Really. We can book an appointment and you can talk to him"

"And if I don't like it?"

"You don't get it. You go, tell him your idea and then see if he can do something. He works. With this other dude. The one who made my eagle. They are professionals. Trust me"

I sighed. It was a big decision. Probably not a way to solve my problem. Not a way to get over my ex.

"Can you book it? I'm shy"

She laughed hard.

"You are not shy, Abigail!"

.........

That's how I found myself in this place. Ham&Avo.

"Ham and Avocado? You brought me to a place called after a sandwich?."

"A good one, though. Just wait and see the handsome artist."

I gasped.

"Is he hot?"

"Hot? No. More. No words to describe that guy. You will like him he is your type."

"Molly! I just broke up with Arnie!"

"You don't have to have sex with him! And it was weeks ago".

I huffed and she laughed, pushing the door. A bell ran in the door.

The place smelled like wood. I stopped for a second to look around. Two different walls, one with a Ham written on it and the other with a Ric. The Ham wall had a bunch of pictures hanging. There were realistic tattoos. They were beautiful, almost like photographies. The guy could really draw. The Ric wall had different tattoos. They were more classic. They had this antique style. But they were beautiful even though.

"Girls!"

I turned around. A guy with soft voice and perfectly braided hair came out from one of the rooms.

"Hi Lewis!"

Fuck. She was right. He was handsome. But really my type?

"She is Abigail. She is having a rough patch and she wants to get a tattoo"

"You want me to get a tattoo." I specified. "Hi, Lewis"

"Hi Abigail. If you are having a rough patch then Danny is your guy"

Danny?

Molly smiled at me.

"He is finishing. Wait here. Want tea? Coffee?"

"Water, please"

Lewis served us two glasses of water with a smile.

"Which one is yours?" I said pointing at the walls.

"Ham. From Hamilton. Ric is my partner. Business partner. We are not married or something"

"Because you always say no, Lewis"

A voice, deeper than Lewis', made us look to the right. There was a man there. Oversized t-shirt and tight jeans made him look broad in the shoulders. A head full of black curls and a big nose made him look like some kind of God. Full lips were pink and swollen, as if he had just spent an hour biting them. He had a couple of days long beard and brown eyes. And fuck. Did he look good. He was handsome and definitely my type.

Molly's laugh snapped me out of my trance.

"Yeah, yeah." Lewis laughed too. "Girls... Well. You already know him, Molly. Abigail, this is Danny. Danny Ric. He will be your tattoo artist."

I swallowed hard and nodded slowly.

"Hi, Abigail. Nice to meet you"

He had a deep voice, but it sounded soft. Also, his accent told me he wasn't from here. Australian?

"Um. Nice to meet you too, Danny"

He reached for my hand, shaking it softly. He had long fingers and a rose on his thumb. It was the only tattoo I could see in the moment.

Daniel smiled, a smile that could shake worlds. Abigail, concentrate.

"Okay. Lewis is nice and all of that, but... Would you like to come in? My studio is right there."

"Oh, yes. Of course." Molly grabbed my arm and smiled.

"Good luck, girls." Lewis was really nice. He was sweet and warm, and his smile could make the most stoic man blush.

"T-thank you" I said letting a shaky breath out.

"Don't worry, darling. You are in good in good hands" With a wink, he left us with Danny.

We followed him to the studio. Behind a black door on the right side of the parlor, a small room with white and black walls was waiting for us. The was some drawings on the walls, a big clock and a hoodie hanging behind the door. On the right there was a big window which let a good amount of light in. Right under it, a table full of papers and different pens and pencils. Some drawings there were truly amazing. Danny was an artist.

"Sorry for that. I am designing this huge piece and... Hard work." He said laughing and covering the drawing. "It's confidential"

I turned around, slowly discovering new places and corners. There was a helmet. It was orange. Also a pair of vans in the floor. On the left side there was one of those snail stairs. They took to another floor, obviously, but a curtain covered it. Right under it and against the other wall, the chair. Black and bright leather, it had some parts slightly worned out.

"Well. Take a seat"

Danny sat on his chair and Molly and I in a couple of stools.

"Okay. I'm Daniel. You already know. And I work basically with old school and blackwork design. This are some of my pieces." He passed me a black folder. Daniel Ricciardo, 2020-2022. "They are recent so you can get an idea of how I'm working in the moment"

As he spoke he moved his hands. He gesticulated a lot and I discovered a 3 on his finger.

I opened the folder. The tattoos in there were stunning. They were carefully classified, a small tag on the corner told me if they were Old School or Blackwork.

"Wow, Daniel... They are stunning..." I whispered. The lines were so perfectly shaped. He truly had a good hand for drawing.

"Well, thank you." He had one of the best smiles I had ever seen. "Tell me, what do you have in mind"

I sighed and looked at Molly. She chuckled softly.

"She likes plants. She is going through a rough patch and I proposed a tattoo."

Daniel laughed.

"No ideas, then?"

I slowly shook my head.

"Okay..." He took a notebook and a pen and looked at me. "A rough patch?"

I nodded.

"Too rough?"

"Nothing she can't get over. It's just too recent."

Daniel nodded and wrote something.

"Okay, Abigail. You like plants. Do you have any tattoos?"

"Nop"

"Are you sure you want it?"

"90 per cent?"

He looked up from the notebook.

"I need 100%"

I swallowed. His glance was intense. His brown eyes were piercing mine.

"I don't know what to get. I cant be sure if I haven't seen it"

He laughed a bit.

"Good answer. I like you"

I blushed hard.

"Okay. I have this idea. It's not much. I will work on it if you gave me the green light"

He passed me the notebook and I gasped. I had drawn a branch and it was already beautiful. I couldn't identify the kind of plant, but he probably wasn't an expert so it was just generic.

"We can curve it, modify it and move it in the direction you want" He said rolling his chair closer to mine. Our knees touched.

Abigail, take deep breaths, please.

"I-I like it."

He looked at me and smiled.

"Yeah?"

"Yes"

"Good. Where would you like it? Arm, leg, back?"

"Um. I don't know really."

He smiled a bit.

"Okay. Listen. Why don't we get another appointment in a week? I will draw different patterns for different places. Just think about it, google stuff. Get some inspiration and if you need it just come over. We are here almost the whole day so..."

I nodded and bit my lip.

"Okay. Sounds good"

I shot Molly a quick glance and she gave me thumbs up.

"Any plant you like in particular? Flowers?"

"Argelian ivy" I said.

"Any special reason? Does it have a meaning?"

"Ivys are related with fidelity" I said trying to not sound affected.

Daniel gave me a weird look and then looked at Molly, who had those eyes. Those eyes she had been giving me for two weeks. Pity. Daniel saw it too, I was sure. He sighed and turned to his notebook.

"Okay. Argelian ivy then. Your favourite?"

"Not my favourite plant, but my favourite Ivy."

"Perfect" He left the notebook on the table and smiled.

"Would like to come back on Thursday?"

"Yeah. It would be nice."

"See you then, let's go outside so we can give you the appointment."

We got up and went to the parlour hall. Daniel stayed behind the desk and opened the PC.

"Okay. Here, this is our business card. My phone number is this one. This is our Instagram. If you have any doubt or something you want to suggest, just text me." He was nice and warm. It seemed almost unreal. "Can you come at the same hour?"

"If I like it... Could I get it then?"

He chuckled.

"I have two free hours that afternoon, so yeah. If you want to, you can go back home with a cute piece. If you don't, you can stay here with me and we will draw it together"

I nodded. The plan. Any of them, sounded good.

"Same hour as today then" He added my name on the PC and smiled. "Nice. See you then, girls. A pleasure to meet you, Abigail. I will work hard on that Ivy."

He shook both of our hands.

"See you, Daniel"

I was shaking when we went outside. Molly instantly grabbed my hand and walked me away.

"Abi are you sure?"

"You dragged me here!"

"Fidelity? Are you sure that's what you want to remember when you look at the tattoo?"

"Yes, Molly. It would remind me to Arnie anyway. I'm getting it because of him, remember. It's... I want to look at it and remember that it's the least I deserve."

"Oh honey, come here"

She hugged me and I closed my eyes. It still hurt. Everytime his name flashed my mind, it also came with a short film of the last moments of our relationship.

"Hey, you are going there again. Come back." Molly said pinching my cheeks. "Let's go and have a coffee and talk about the eyes you were giving ti the handsome artist."

"Daniel, his name is Daniel"

"It is. And you are going to call him on Monday to check how your tattoo is going"

"What?"

"Yeah, you will. The boy is a snack. I know him and he is nice. Really. You are bringing coffee on Thursday and then come back next week so he can check the tattoo. This boy will fall on his knees for you. Believe me."

I gasped.

"You are evil!"

"I found you your dream man!"

Next part: Just checking.
