The practice went ok for McLaren, lando managed to get in 356 laps but finished p20 for fast lap times. Lando was more focused on testing the new tires and rather than having a high p rank he aimed for running a few excellent laps on the tires instead.

"Anna, they should be in the garage now" one of Carlos' PAs called through to the cafeteria where you were sat watching the practice on the monitor with some of the other staff. The garage was very busy over the last three days and you didn't want to get in the way so a few of you decided you would stay upstairs watching over everything.
"Yeah I'm on my way now, has anyone suffered strains or anything?"
"All garage workers are good, lando and Carlos said their necks are a bit sore but they always are this first one back"
"Yeah no worries I kind of expected that." You said walking down through the garage corridors.

George has text you to let you know he was ok as you haven't had a chance to go down the paddock to William. He said everyone was missing you but secretly you were loving it at McLaren.

"Well done Carlos" you said with a smile as he got out the car
"I am tired. I want to sleep and eat." He said giving you a hug
"Don't worry, how is your neck?" You said walking with him over to landos side of the garage.
"Sore but ok, if your offering a massage I'll take it though Anna" He asked
"Anna! My neck. I think it's broken" lando said being all dramatic
"The comparison between you two makes me giggle at times. Guessing your wanting a massage too?"
"Of course. I'm going first Carlos so you can bugger off for twenty minutes." Lando said pulling his helmet off making his hair all stick up at the front from sweat.
"Ok well I'm having a shower so I don't smell for Anna you muppet" Carlos said walking off
"I don't smell anyways" he replied

"Come on then get a shift on, they will want a debrief with you both after so I'll have to do it now?" You asked as you and lando both walked out of the garage and to the trailers.
"Yeah that's fine." He said yawing.
"How do you think it went?"
"It went ok, could be better obviously like p20 isn't my favourite number to hear but we made progress"
"Yeah that's understandable" you said as you walked into landos trailer which was filled with food and snacks for him as usual.

"I've missed you" he said as he went to hug you
"I've still seen you we just haven't had a chance to talk like usual" you replied as you rested your head on his chest as he still held you.
"Well I've been looking forward to doing this that's all I can say"
"Ahah well then let's get you sorted"

Lando hopped on the therapy bed and lay face down straight away, he was tired too and literally looked like he was about to fall asleep.
"Lando? You need to take the top of your racing suit off please?" You asked as you grabbed some physio oils.
This obviously wasn't the first time you had given lando a massage but when he needed to take his top off it got you every time. He was just perfect really. Well a bit sweaty at the moment but still perfect.

"Ok try and relax all your shoulder muscles or it won't work, I'm going to try and release the knots from your neck first then your shoulders"
"Do whatever the fuck you need to do please" he said as the pain was getting to him. Wearing a helmet for hours, being under high G Force wasn't a good combination and no matter how many neck exercises you do you still feel it.
"Ummm that's good" lando muffled into the pillow
"Yeah it's pretty tight so it might hurt a little later"
"Mm ... I've been waiting for this"
"Waiting? You should of been focusing on the race"
"But it's hard to focus when I have this to look forward to. You know how I feel Anna"
"Nope. Not had to drive an F1 car to be honest with you"
"Well it's painful at times .. ouch!" Lando called out
"That one is out now.. sorry"
"I'll forgive you" he said turning his head to look at you giving you a sulky face
"Appreciate it"

You carried on for another five minutes trying to loosen things and all lando would say was
"Mm that's nice.. ouch ... yeah" and it was like his morning voice.
"Do you want to be any louder lando" you giggled

Well not that you know what it sounds like but it's how you would think he sounds and doing your best from not getting the hots over it was making out a task.

There was a no knock at the door and in walked Carlos to hear lando making noises and not knowing where you were as it was a separate room at the bottom
"Lando! Your too young to make those noises" Carlos called out
"We are here he's just being dramatic" you said as Carlos slowly opened the door not knowing what to expect
"Thank you Jesus that you two weren't off at it" he said laughing
"What do you mean?!" Lando muffled through the pillow again
"I've seen you two. It's obvious. Like if I see it then I'm sure others do" Carlos said
"There is nothing official going on Carlos" you said
"Not yet. But I suggest keeping hush hush for a while"

There was an awkward silence between you two and Carlos as he had worked it out that something was going on.
"Right lando. Your time is up my go" he said priding landos arm.
"Ok right well it doesn't matter because I can get a massage any time I like" he said so smug as he pulled his T-shirt back on.

"Right hop on then" you gestured tomorrow Carlos as he took off his top and you could see the knots already.
"Lando you were so dramatic and I can literally see the knots in carlos' back"
"Ah well I feel better now anyways" lando said as he left the trailer to go and meet with the engineers for the stat reports.

After you had cleaned up Carlos' back which was defiantly worse than landos you made your way back to the hotel as there was nothing more you could really do apart from wait for lando.

You both agreed you would have dinner as it was the last night before flying out to Melbourne for the first race as you weren't going back to HQ before then.

You met lando in the lobby and made your way way the city to meet with Carlos and his girlfriend for dinner. You had gone to a local restaurant where the food was traditional Spanish of Tapas but lando being the fussy eater he is didn't like half the stuff because it was either fish or looked like fish or near fish.

It was lovely to meet Carlos' girlfriend and you both got on so well that you arranged to go somewhere nice next time she was with you.

You and lando decided to take a walk once getting back to the hotel before going back.

"There are so many stars" you said quietly
"It's amazing isn't it. Like to think of how many stars look down on us" he replied

He took your hand so smoothly you didn't even notice till he lifted it with his to point at one particular star which was shining so bright.
"Those stars are either close or have exploded"
"That was lovely ahah" you laughed as you stood behind you wrapping his arms across your chest to look at the view
"But there is one star that shines so bright that anyone who looks at it falls in love with her.." lando said and you hadn't even noticed he was looking at you.
"That's a lucky star for people then?" You said turning your face to look into his eyes
"But it's my star .." he said as his lips crashed into yours as he held you

You deepened the kiss to place both your hands on his face when he slowly pulled away to take a breath.
"And I've been waiting.. to do that to my star"
"Lando I-" you said before he interrupted
"Im sorry if I ruined things"
"No you have made things, I've wanted to kiss you since when we first met. I love you lando"
"You lo- love me?" He said taking both your hands
"Yes.."
"I love you too. I know it's only been a few months but I feel I've know you a lifetime."
"Me too".

It was getting late so you made your way back to the hotel where lando walked you back to your room.
"Well off I go, I mean what I said lando" you said before kissing him again.
"I really want to be with you Anna"
"Me too, let's just do it but we can't say to anyone yet. Not even Carlos"
"Not even Carlos. Goodnight darling" lando said before kissing you once more and making his way back down the hallway to his room.
