We met on the track

Chapter Seven

You were awoken by the sound of birds chirping outside the window. Opening your eyes you started to panic, realising that you didn't recognise the room you were in. You look to your right and your heart settles once you see Lando curled up in a ball beside you. A small smile creeps on your face when you see how adorable he looks. You grab your phone which is on the bed side table next to you and you see that it is dead. "shit" you mumble to yourself whilst you get up to find a charger.

Walking downstairs, you see that most people have gone but the main group are still here. Megan, George, Max, Charles and Alex are sat round the dining room table eating breakfast and to be honest looking very hungover. "Good morning" you say to them as you walk in. "Morning" a couple of them mumble back to you. You grab a plate and some breakfast and join them at the table.
You all talk between yourselves about various different things.

"I wonder if Lando is up yet" Max says to the group as he sends him a quick text. "Oh, no he's still asleep" you say not thinking.

Everyone looks at you with wide eyes. Shit.

"Did you stay with him last night?" Max asks you quickly. Everybody suddenly puts two and two together whilst they also realise you are wearing his clothes. "Yes I did but not like that! He didn't want me to be uncomfortable downstairs on the sofa... nothing happened". At this moment you were so glad that Alex was trustworthy enough to not mention what he saw in the utility room. "Yeah I'm sure nothing happened" Alex said sarcastically. Ok I take that back. "Alex, shut up dude" You shoot daggers at him pleading not to mention anything but also laughing at the same time. You were so embarrassed... you barely know these people and they think that you had already spent the night with Lando.

You look over and see Charles just staring down at his food, picking at it and not saying a word. He seemed hurt by the fact that you slept in Landos bed and that's the last thing you wanted.

Lando's POV

You woke up early this morning with a smile already plastered on your face as you remembered the events of last night. The kiss between you and Jordan was magical and nothing like what you had experienced before. There was something that drew you to her and left you wanting more. Your smile grew bigger when you realised that her sharing your bed with you wasn't a dream. She was sleeping so beautifully next to you, looking so adorable in your clothes that looked so oversized on her.

It was a sight that you could get used too.

You sat up and started at the wall, thinking more about your situation with Jordan. How was it possible to feel this way about someone you've barely known 24 hours? It wasn't like you to jump ahead on situations like this. You traveled the world and didn't have time to get into a relationship, but there was something between you that just clicked. But then you thought about Charles... you thought about how he had also invited Jordan to your party and also took her number and called her beautiful. You thought about how jealous you got when you saw his hand resting on her leg at the table, the way she smiled at him... You had no right to get jealous because she wasn't yours. That kiss between you two could have meant nothing to her and could have just been a drunken mistake. You tried not to think about it too much more as the situation was way too early on to start worrying about these things. Taking a deep breathe, you led back down next to the girl you were growing to obsess over and fell back asleep.

Jordan's POV

Once you had all finished your breakfast, everyone heads back upstairs to get their stuff to leave and get ready for Silverstone. This is probably the best opportunity your going to get to speak to Charles. You walk upstairs to look for him and find him in one of the rooms packing up his overnight bag.

"Hey Charles, have you got a sec?" He turns around to face you sharing a small smile. "Of course, come in". You walk into the room shutting the door behind you and you sit on the bed.

"So I wanted to talk to you about last night" he takes a seat next to you and starts to speak. "Before you say anything, I need to get everything off my chest first" Charles nods at let's you continue. "So as you are aware, we kissed and it was great. There were the sparks and emotions that I have always looked for and it took everything in me not to follow you to bed and continue where we left off. You make me feel so comfortable but also so confident at the same time. I don't know how you feel but I'm not getting my hopes up as I can imagine you get a lot of girls and you probably enjoy being single."

Charles opens his mouth to say something again "I'm sorry but there's one more thing!" You quickly interrupt him. He laughs slightly "go on".

"I also kissed Lando last night" his face drops down to look at his hands. He looks so disappointed.

"I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know what it meant or how I feel towards him and I barely know either of you. It was part of the game and it happened when we played 7 minutes in heaven. You sigh out of frustration. " I find it so hard as this isn't like me and I've never been in a situation like this before. I've only known you guys 24 hours and it all seems like a lot all too quickly". You take his hand in yours and smile at him. "What I'm saying is that I need time Charles. I need time to figure out what I want and get my head around the situation".

Charles just sits there and stays silent, he has an unreadable expression on his face which means you can't tell what he's thinking or how he's feeling. You just want him to say something.

"Ok, if that's what you need" he sighs. "But I need to be honest with you as well." You nod at him encouraging him to carry on. "For the very short time I have known you, I do think I like where this is going. Like you said we don't really know each other yet but I would like to get to know you better" He grabs your other hand and intertwines his fingers with yours. "And thank you for being honest with me about Lando, I really appreciate you being up front with the whole situation". He wraps his arms around you and brings you into a short hug.

He pulls away and looks at you...
"So for now... friends?" He asks you.

"Yes friends" you smile at him.

———————————————————

Once you leave Charles room, you head to find Lando as you need to have a similar conversation with him.

You find him getting ready in his room.

"Lando, can we talk?" He quickly looks at you with regret on his face. "I'm really sorry Jordan but I don't have time, my team have called me into Silverstone early so I have to leave.." he looks at his watch. "Shit I have to leave now. I'm sorry!" He rushes over to you and pulls you into a hug.

"I promise we will talk later, please make sure everyone leaves soon!" He says to you as he laughs. "Here's the key to the house, keep it till later and I will find you"

"Yeah okay, see you later!" You say to him as he rushes out the door. You are slightly frustrated because you just want to be honest with him and not hide anything. But he said he will talk to you later so later it is.

You do as he asks and round up everyone in the house to kick them out. Shortly after, you and Megan lock up the house and head back to the hotel to get ready for day 2 of Silverstone.
