The race had ended well with Carlos placing 5th and Lando getting p4. But what surprised most people was Alex Albon getting his second podium of the season, which was a cause for celebration amongst the younger drivers. Unfortunately due to the pandemic the drivers were not allowed to go clubbing and most clubs were closed anyways. So the boys had settled for drinks and video games in Charles' room as his was the largest, perks of being Ferrari's favorite driver and all.
With those plans set, Lando invited Elena to join them and originally she planned to decline but after some convincing from the Twitch quartet she agreed.
Which brings us to now. Elena was getting ready for her hangout with the boys. She was already wearing natural makeup and decided to change into a pair of grey sweatpants and a yellow sweater, going for comfort and warmth. As she was unplugging her phone from its charger there was a knock on the door. She knew it was Lando as he had been chosen to accompany the girl to Charles' room, a decision made by the boys with the intention of of getting the two youngsters to interact without Carlos' protective watch.
When she opened the door Lando found himself speechless, as he usually was whenever she was around. It confused him how even in sweatpants and an oversized sweater she still looked so gorgeous. "Hey." The Spanish girl let out in a shy tone, quickly averting her eyes to the ground when she noticed that Lando was staring at her. A small blush crept up on their cheeks. "Hey. You look comfy. Um, let's head up before the boys start spamming me with messages."
The boy was unaware of his friends plan and instead of taking this opportunity to talk to Elena, he decided to get to the room as fast as possible to avoid any suspicion, which would lead to teasing from the boys. Elena visibly deflated at the thought of him not wanting to spend more time with her. So she made sure to walk a little slower than usual,to which the boy caught on to, making him shyly reach out to hold her hand and pull her closer to him so they were walking side by side at the same pace.

Although most of the walk was silent it was a comfortable silence with both of them trying to hide their smiles that were growing in their faces at the thoughts running through their heads. Elena could feel the butterflies in her stomach multiplying at the feel of his hand in hers. Lando was smiling as he thought of the small kiss she had given him last time, hoping that later on tonight it would actually land on his lips not his cheek.
As soon as they arrived the other boys were quick to start their teasing, asking the youngest members of the group what had taken them so long. After a few more minutes of teasing Max stepped in and changed the subject to what games they would be playing. After some debate they decided to play fifa as it wouldn't result in as much noise as the other games available. So with the rest of the evening planned food and alcohol were ordered and speedily delivered. Their night of relaxation began.
