We met on the track

Chapter Three

You couldn't believe your eyes... Lando Norris was sat on a stool only meters in front of you.

You take a moment to look at him closely, he was even more handsome in person then he was on your phone screen. His curly brown locks perfectly placed on his head and his blue eyes sparkling as he talked. He was dressed in the typical McLaren uniform with his papaya coloured zip up jacket and black joggers that framed his body perfectly.

You have followed Lando through his different divisions as you were growing up and were beyond excited when he got a contract with McLaren for his rookie season in F1.

"Jordan what are you looking at?" You hear Megan shouting at you as she makes her way through the crowd to find you.

She finally reaches you and looks at the scene in front of you and gasps "eeekkkkk Jords it's Lando!!!" She scream whispers to you not being able to hide her excitement.

Lando clearly heard the slight scream come from Megan and he looks up at you both.

You feel like your heart stops as his eyes meet yours, and the world around you goes into slow motion. The corners of your mouth pull into a big grin and you look down at your feet, feeling your cheeks getting warmer from the fluster you are experiencing.

You finally look back up at him to find him concentrated back on the interview. What were you thinking, he probably didn't even notice you. He was probably just annoyed for being interrupted by the strange noise that came out of Megan's mouth. You giggle to yourself as this was probably just the first of embarrassing moments that you will encounter during this weekend and start to focus on the questions that Lando is a answering.

"So Lando, you are one of the few drivers on the grid without a girlfriend. Are you looking for a relationship this season?" This question in particular peeked your interest...

"Not particularly, I am only 21 and I have a very busy schedule. However if the right girl comes along then I'm not going to loose her" as he answers the question he turns his head towards you and gives you a cheeky grin. Megan notices this and squeezes your hand gently to make sure you noticed too.

So many thoughts going through your head on what that cheeky grin meant. Was there someone behind me that he knew or was I just in his eye line as he looked into the crowd?

There was a confused look on your face which Megan noticed and laughed. "Come on Jords, he's finishing up now, let's go and get some lunch" the thought of eating lunch made your stomach growl and you nod with sudden urge to your friend. You both battle your way back through the crowd and head to the nearest cafe. You find a table in the corner overlooking the busy scene outside. Megan comes over to the table with your food and you eagerly rip into the packaging and start eating.

"Hi, is there room for one more?"

You both look up from your food to see who the unfamiliar voice belonged too. Your eyes land on a familiar pair of gentle blue orbs that stare back at you hopeful of an answer. You try and speak but nothing comes out.

"Yeah of course go ahead" Megan answers for you.

"I'm Lando, but I think judging by your passes, you may already know that?" He giggles to himself slightly boasting "I'm Megan and this is Jordan" "Hi" you barely mutter to him over your nerves. "So are you girls here by yourselves or did you come with anyone else?" Lando asks trying to get you to speak to him. You take a deep breath "just by ourselves, it's our first Grand Prix" you manage to blurt out whilst getting lost in his eyes again. He smirks "Well the reason I came over was because I wanted to invite you both to my party tonight. It is mainly drivers and crew so please don't spread the message around" he is studying your face, concentrating on your facial expressions as he was struggling to read how you felt. "So would you like to come?" He turns facing both of you now. "Yes we would love too!" Megan chirps up. 

"Great! Jordan, pass me your phone" you look up at him confused but put your phone in his hand hesitantly. He sees the confusion across your face and giggles "I'm giving you my number silly" he puts his number into your phone and texts himself so he has yours too. "I will text you the details Jordan, see you both later!" Lando gets up and leaves the cafe.

You watch him as he walks away with your mouth slightly dropped open. What on earth just happened? How has this just happened? You look at Megan who has the same confused yet excited look on her face as you. She shakes her head suggests going and exploring the paddock some more.

Lando's POV

It was finally the weekend that you have been waiting nervously for, your home Grand Prix, Silverstone. There was great expectations on you this weekend and you were hoping to score some good points for your team.

You were concentrated on controlling your nerves as you drove to the circuit. It was media day today and as always, this meant that you had a hectic day ahead.
Arriving on time at Silverstone you parked up your papaya coloured McLaren in the private car park and headed to the McLaren hospitality.

"Good Morning everyone" you chirped as you made your way through the reception. You heard mumbles of Hi Lando's from different staff members as you passed them.
"Good Morning Lando" your PR Manager greeted you happily as you went into your drivers room. "Good Morning Charlotte! What's on the agenda for today?" "So we have a few interviews with different sports channels and you and Daniel are doing a challenge for Sky Sports this afternoon" you nodded at her and put you bags down on the sofa before following her to the first interview.

"The first interview is with Autosport. They are all ready and set up just around the corner" "Thank you Charlotte" you take a seat on a stool in front of a presenter you have met a couple times. The interview had started and so far you were pretty bored, they were asking the same questions as usual. "Eeekkk" you hear from the crowd. You quickly turn your head to see where the noise came from and locked eyes with one of the most beautiful girls you have ever seen. She was a small and petite with naturally blonde hair and brown eyes that took your breath away. She noticed you looking back at her and her cheeks pulled into a soft smile as she looked down at her hands.

The presenter coughed as you hadn't answered the question yet. "Oh sorry, what did you ask?" Feeling slightly embarrassed you smiled at the gentleman. "We have noticed that you are one of the few drivers without a girlfriend on the grid. Are you looking for a relationship this season?" There we go, finally an interesting question. You take a second to think about how your going to respond to the question. "Not particularly as I am only 21 and I have a busy schedule, but if the right girl comes along then I'm not going to loose that" as the words came out of your mouth, you looked over to the beautiful girl to the side of you and smirked. If only she knew how beautiful she was.

As you were finishing up the interview, you noticed the two girls had started walking towards the cafe at the edge of the paddock. Come on Lando, grow some balls and go and talk to her... what is there to loose?

Walking into the cafe, you see them sat at the corner table talking between themselves. Before you knew it, you felt your feet walking towards their direction.

"Hi, is there room for one more?" The girls don't look up straight away as they are eating but as they do you see the slight shock on their faces.

"Yeah of course, go ahead!" Her friend said to me. I sat down next to the beautiful girl and smiled at her. She was clearly shy and nervous around new people so you introduced yourself. "I'm Lando, but I'm guessing by your passes, you may already know that" You mentally slap your forehead, yep great Lando, you sound so stuck up."I'm Megan and this is Jordan" finally a name to put to her face. "Hi" she shyly mumbles with a smile. Her soft voice makes your heart flutter.

You continue the conversation and end up inviting them to a party your having tonight. After exchanging numbers with Jordan, you head on back out to do some more interviews. As you were walking away you can feel the girls staring at you making you blush slightly.

Man, there's really something about this girl.
