'I thought I recognized when love was true, but I'm confused. Am I ready for love or maybe just a best friend, should there be a difference, do you have instructions?'
In which Lexi explores the world through photography and gets the shock of a life...
♪ Bazzi - I.F.L.Y: 'I guess what I'm saying, I guess what I'm saying, I guess what I'm saying is, I fuckin' love you'
The McLaren car progressed quite nicely through the weekend and Lando and Daniel were satisfied with their P5 & P6 finish in qualifying. Hopefully, the race would be as exciting as the last one and they could move up a bit more. After their first 'fight' Lexi promised Lando that she didn't like Daniel like that and he believed her. Still, there was a slight stinging feeling when he saw her at his side of the garage taking photos. Lexi noticed him staring through her camera lens and moved the camera away from her face. She tried to reassure him by walking up to him, grabbing his hand and squeezing it softly without anyone else seeing it. He looked at her and she moved her hand to her necklace to give him a message without having to say anything out loud.
"I'm almost finished, just a debrief with my engineers. You can go to the hotel if you want, I'll meet you later okay?" Lando said when they met up in his driver room. "Please tell me you're fine. I can tell you're a little on edge still". Lexi said walking up to him. "I'm fine babe, I promise. I love you, okay?" They said goodbye and Lexi went to the hotel with the girls. She told Helen and Charlotte what was going on with Lando and they laughed. "He has never had a girlfriend or even liked a girl before. It's just all very new to him, I guess". Helen said and Lexi nodded. She understood. "He has nothing to worry about, I just want him to know that".
It didn't take long for Lando to get to the hotel and he went straight to Lexi's room. They were ordering room service together and he couldn't wait to take a long shower. His body was sore from qualifying and maybe he would take Lexi up on that offer to massage him this time. Lexi opened her door and her smile made Lando's mood lift up right away. "Oh I have missed that smile so much". He said and Lexi's hands found their way into his curls when she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I missed you too. I have set up Black Mirror already. Why don't you take a shower, I'll order some room service and then I will massage your neck okay?" "You read my thoughts exactly babe". He smiled as he kissed her lips.

The race wasn't as exciting as the last one. Lando and Daniel had a good pace, but they just couldn't keep up with the Mercedes and Red Bull cars. They tried undercutting Perez with Lando's strategy but it didn't really work. They finished as they started in P5 & P6 and they were quite satisfied with that result. Lando had been in the media pen already and was having his final debrief before he could head to the hotel. "Hey, a couple of us are going out tonight, would be fun if you and Lexi came too". Daniel said to his teammate. Lando nodded and told him he would ask Lexi later. The thought of going out excited him, but he didn't know if Lexi was up for it.
When he came into her room later and told her what Daniel said, she started clapping her hands and jumping up and down excitedly. "I would love to, I haven't been out in ages!" They had a quick bite to eat in the hotel restaurant with some other members of the team and told them they were getting changed and would meet them in the lobby again soon. Lexi chose a lace top with feathers on the ends of her sleeves and some high waisted black trousers. She styled her hair with her curling wand and added some more makeup than she would usually do. Lando was dressed in a nice black t-shirt, dark jeans and sneakers. "You look stunning babe. I know you will be the prettiest girl in the club tonight". Lexi walked up to him slowly while keeping her eyes on his. She moved her mouth to his ear and said: "I'm all yours baby". Lando swallowed hard, this was going to be a long night and he couldn't wait to come back here afterwards.

When they arrived at the club, Lando took Lexi's hand to not lose her in the crowd while they walked over to the VIP section McLaren had hired out. Daniel and some other team members were already there and they waved at them before sitting in one of the boots. "Would you like anything to drink babe?" Lando asked Lexi and she nodded. "Ehh, some wine will be fine". She smiled at Lando and walked over to Charlotte to not be alone while he was getting the drinks. "Wow, you look amazing!" Charlotte shouted at her over the music. "So do you". Lexi told her. They started talking about the race and Lexi smiled at Lando when he came back to pass her her drink.
"Do you want to go dance with me?" Lexi asked Lando a little while later. "I haven't been able to sit still the entire time". Lando laughed. It was true, every new song that started made Lexi clap her hands and dance in her seat. "You saw my dance moves last time, they are not very good". "Well maybe Daniel can teach you some. Come on!" Lexi said while pointing at Daniel on the dancefloor and dragging Lando over there. They had a fun time and Daniel tried to teach Lando some of his moves. Lexi's belly started to hurt from all the laughing and she was happy when a slower song came on. She threw her arms around Lando's neck and pulled him closer. She buried her face in his neck and they barely moved on the slow rhythm. Lando's hands were on her lower back and she felt the tingling from his touch.
Lexi lifted her head a bit and he felt her breath ghost over his neck and ear. It made the hairs on his arms stand up and when she spoke in his ear, he got goosebumps all over. "You're so handsome". She said. She lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. He could tell she was a little more confident from the drinks, but she wasn't tipsy or drunk. He leaned his head down to kiss her and one of his hands slid down to her bum. Lexi deepened the kiss by sliding her tongue over the seam of his bottom lip and she pressed her body closer to his. Lando felt where this was leading to and he didn't want to do this right here, on the dancefloor. "Can we do this later, in the hotel room?" He asked her and saw the lustful look in her eyes when she looked up. "I don't think I can wait much longer". She said and moved her lips back over to his ear. "I need you now, Lando".
He swallowed hard and thought about it for a second. They had been out for a couple of hours already so it wouldn't be weird if they left a bit earlier than everyone else. "Okay, let's say goodbye to everyone and go back". He said, grabbing her hand and walking over to the others. Once they left the club, Lando pulled over a taxi and they got into the backseat. His arm was around her and Lexi had put her head on his shoulder. They were both silent, quite turned on thinking about why they left the club and what was going to happen. They had only had sex once, so it was still all new. After a while, Lexi turned her head and started brushing her lips over his neck to his ear. She let her tongue glide over his earlobe and Lando's hand made their way to her thigh. He softly squeezed it and could feel her kiss his pulse.
The drive wasn't that long and when they arrived at the hotel, they couldn't get to the room quick enough. They had to keep their hands to themselves in the elevator because they weren't alone and Lando swore the other people could sense the sexual tension between them. Lexi stood on the other side to him and stared straight into his eyes while biting her lip. He had to hold in a groan and shook his head at her to tell her to stop it without using words. The other people left the elevator halfway up and Lexi shot over to kiss Lando firmly. He had never seen her like this, but he liked it. Their hands were all over the place feeling each other's bodies and they jolted back when the elevator made a 'ding' noise. Luckily it was just because they were on the right floor, so they could get out.
Lando found his keycard and struggled a bit to open the door because of the adrenaline. When it finally opened, he pulled Lexi inside, shut the door and pushed her against it. "You were a little impatient all night, baby.. Can you tell me what's the matter?" He tried to sound confident, but she could probably hear the cracks in his voice. "I-I just really need you right now". Lexi looked at him with her big brown eyes and she had a little pout on her lips. "Lando, please.."
