In Love With Formula 1

Part 36

The way my bedroom was positioned I could hear everything from the front of the house as well as conversations in the front hall and living rooms. I could hear conversations from both of these places when I woke up the next morning.

I got out of bed quietly and walked to the top of the stairs and sat on the top step listening in to the conversations that were going on. 

There were at least 6 other people there and I could make out 2 very distinct voices of Daniel and Max. What were they doing here?

I felt a bit awkward if I were to walk down there in my pajamas so I changed in to the nearest hoodie on the floor and a pair of leggings. Turns out it was the infamous Monaco hoodie, just my luck.

I put on some fuzzy socks, they even had little faces on, and I walked down the stairs quietly trying to figure out what was going on.

"If we leave in an hour we can get there and spend the rest of the day there" I heard Max say

"But we could leave later today, stay up there and spend more of the day there tomorrow" Daniel argued

"This isn't an endurance race, it's a bit of fun, we'll leave tomorrow, you 6 can stay over, you can choose rooms" Lando said to them

"Dibs Izzie's room" Daniel shouted, the slimy fucker loved leaving stuff in my room to find months later.

There were collective sighs so I decided to walk in to the kitchen and put the kettle on, thinking about what we were doing tomorrow. I threw the tea bag in my mug and got the milk out of the fridge.

I was then greeted by the people in the house, Max, Daniel, Charles, Carlos, Pierre and George

"Morning fuckers" I said to them as I made my tea

"You're in a good mood for the morning aren't you" Daniel said

"Well I have something to get ready for tomorrow yeh, and I'm guessing it's karting from my educated guess of the trailer in the drive which is full of your karts and mine is being put in there in about 15 minutes"

"What the fuck" Pierre said whilst everyone's mouths opened and closed like goldfish

"Have a lovely morning, I will be returning in 15 minutes to make sure you are careful with my kart" I said with a smile and walked out to the garden.

I was getting there, my confidence was slowly rebuilding and I felt more like myself. And these feelings towards Lando were solidifying, I wasn't running away, yet.

Flashback

Weekend of Monaco GP

When this group of men walked in to the cafe I was a bit surprised, I knew we had a booking for a group but knowing it was this group threw me off a bit.

One of them came up to me and told me the name on the booking, I just looked at him whilst he was speaking to me. He had this brown curly hair, olive skin and the brightest blue eyes, I couldn't help but look at him.

When they were done with their meal I had accepted the fact I would never see him again and smiled and thanked them for eating with us, but when he came up to me and started talking to me I was internally freaking out. I never showed it though, confident on the outside as always.

He asked me to go to the GP. I mean he asked me to go to the GP, I was living in a fever dream, this wasn't actually happening right. 

Lando's POV:

The waitress was gorgeous, she had this smile that lit up the room, everyone who was working with her clearly loved her like family, her laugh was also the brightest thing ever, it was so unique but in a good way. 

As we were eating everyone around me were teasing me about it because I was just either staring at her or talking about her. Is that what love at first sight feels like?

I knew I had to get to know her, she was talking about the track with her co workers and she looked like she knew what she was talking about. I had to ask her to come to the GP.

When she agreed I was surprised she said yes, I never really had much luck with getting girls but there was something about her.

Present day

Izzie's POV:

I walked out to the front of the house and stood next to Lando as the others loaded my kart on to the trailer, I was excited to see which track we went to.

"How did you know?" Lando said

"Know what?"

"What we were planning"

"I can read minds. Nah I just overheard, I was sat at the top of the stairs"

"It honestly wouldn't surprise me if you could read minds"

"Guess you'll never know"

"Oh yeh we're having a party tonight"

"Tonight?" I said now facing him

"Yeh is that okay"

"Yeh it's fine I just wasn't expecting it"

I walked back in to the house and found some clothes to wear for tonight, I was rifling through my suitcase when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, I didn't think anyone needed to talk to me so I just carried on,

Daniel came up behind me and screamed in my ear and I started hitting him with what was in my hand, a pair of socks

"Because socks are really scary" Daniel said whilst laughing,

I dropped the socks and made a fist with my hand and showed him

"I take it back, please don't hurt me"

"That's what I thought" I said with a big smile on my face

"I'm sleeping in your room tonight, I think me and Max are having a special night"

"Great, I'm so excited for you to go through my shit"

"You love it really, I also still have some of your socks from the last time"

"What the fuck, get out" I said to him as I stood up.

Daniel laughed and walked back out, I found a nice pair of red trousers and a black top, I didn't see the need to dress up. I walked back downstairs to them all running around the garden chasing each other with worms.

I had to film this, so I got my phone out and started filming them whilst they were all screaming about a worm. I posted it on my instagram story and went out to laugh at them.

After a while they all calmed down and joined me on the seats outside, 

"We made food" Charles said

"Is it edible" I said back not really believing them

"Domino's are experts" Lando said

"At least that is edible"

We all laughed and sat outside for a bit and walked back inside to music blasting and food being put out by Lando. There were more knocks on the door, I didn't know we were expecting anyone else, I walked over to the door and opened it to greet them.
