A/N: Because of recent events, I was very hesitant to write another chapter. But at the end of the day, I still will be a fan of Lando, but I believe he wasn't trying to intend harm. Let's be honest, we're talking about Lando Norris here. Again, he still needs to address it I believe, but I wanted to carry on writing the book. Also, I didn't feel very comfortable making the NSFW chapter. Hope you understand! :)

Sophia's POV:

It's been a few weeks since Spa, and I was back at home. Lando was still travelling around, calling me everyday, making sure I was still ok. I was fine I guess, just missed him. I would've loved to stay with him, but duty called at the base. Anxiety kicked in sometimes, thinking that he would see someone else. My mum was still staying, and so I went to meet her for the first time. I offered to meet her for lunch in town, and we both went to one of my favourite restaurant. I felt like a normal mother-daughter, and I felt comforted. We got on super well, and I just held back a question still we were about to leave. "Mum, why did you leave dad? He always said you left because you used him for money, but from getting to know you that's not the right story I'm guessing?"

"No he was lying. I left because he was planning out your life for you as a baby. We would argue constantly, and I couldn't handle it. He would be almost obsessed with the way you would turn out, and would get angry at me if I spoke out against him. I'm sorry I would've got in contact sooner. When I found out your dad passed, I knew I had to find you, and speak to you. I'm sorry I left, and hope you can forgive me."

"Mum seriously don't blame yourself for what happened. It's in the past now" I said smiling. Mum bought up an idea. "How about we go shopping? Catch up on lost mother-daughter activities, and YOU MRS can tell me all about this boyfriend of yours" she said. "Yeah I'd like that a lot" I spoke smiling. We got up from our table and made our way down to the tube station. 

*a few hours later*

"Mum it's been really great having you here, seriously, It's been amazing. And please, if you're ok with it, move/stay in one of the rooms on the base. It's no trouble to me and it's probably better use if you use it than me."

"Only if it's ok with you? I really want to get to know my daughter and her boyfriend." 

"And I really want to get to know you mum too :)"

I drove off in Lando's McLaren, and parked it on our drive. I got in the house, tossing my keys on the dining room table. I pulled my phone from my back pocket. Missed call from Charlotte and Jon. I called back Charlotte, who answered me straight away.

"Finally Sophia!"

"Sorry I was driving, and spending the day with mum, why what's up?"

"It's Lando." I could hear both Jon and Charlotte, as we switched to video call. 

"Nice to see your face again! Anyway, what's wrong with him?"

"Only the fact he's been crying to himself, asked for his meetings cancelled, he didn't want to drive but insisted he did. Can you help us in any way shape or form?"

"I have an idea. I'm gonna book flights for tonight. It's still 4pm over there. I'll fly out to Bahrain now, with mum. Get her a room sorted. I'll surprise him. But don't you fucking dare tell him any of this."

"We won't Sophia, don't worry. Ok, let me go to the hotel, you look for flights. Stay on the facetime."

After about 5 minutes searching, I found flights. Two seats left, that should do. "I found flights. I'm gonna text my friends and the twitch quartet squad then I'll pack and leave."
