An inconvenient attachment

Chapter 33

"Babe?"

Ugh, what is that? I open my eyes and see Lando leaning over me. Godd, my head is pounding.

"You still want to come?" Lando asks. I rub my hands in my eyes, trying to wake up.

"Yes" I say while slowly getting out of bed. I take two more aspirins and get dressed. Before we go I quickly put my sunglasses on and follow Lando to the car. The ride to the circuit is quiet. Lando grabs my hand while we walk through security.

"Guys, wait up!"

I look around and see Kelly running towards us, followed by Max. Why the fuck does Max look, uh, so ok? He nearly drank as much as I did, I think. "I didn't expect you so early" Max jokes.

Lando stands like a body builder. "Tough guy at night, tough guy in the morning" he imitates me. I give him a push. "Ugh, don't remind me" I say.

"Oh no, you didn't say that, did you?" Max looks at me with a pained expression on his face, "With those movements also? Ugh, how embarrassing" he continues to joke. "Oh shut up you dick" I joke. Kelly wraps her arm in mine, "Well, at least we know who can't take alcohol to well" she says. "That didn't stop her" Max says. "Oh shus you" Kelly says while giving Max a soft slap.

"Well, you know where to find us when you guys have some time" Kelly says while pulling me away.

"Wait where are we going?" I ask when we walk into some private area. I look back and quickly wave at Lando before we turn a corner. "There's a terrace here with television so we can enjoy it while having some drinks" she explains. I groan while I sit down on a couch, "no more alcohol for me."

I have a great time chatting with Kelly, we eat together and watch the qualifying. I think the guys do amazing. Max gets to start third on the grid and Lando seventh. "Max isn't going to be happy" she says. "Wait why? Third is amazing?"

Kelly looks at me laughing. "For these boys only the first place counts."

"I'm just glad he's out of his car again."

"You really don't like racing do you?"

"It's too dangerous" I say while shaking my head, "I wouldn't mind if Lando decided to quit".

"Yeah it is, but you have to remember, these guys would be very unhappy if they wouldn't race anymore. I know it's hard, but it's part of who they are." Hmm, she had a point there. Its not like I would ever ask Lando to stop, nor should he for me. I just hope it gets easier over time.

A few hours later Max walks up. "Ready to go?" he asks Kelly. She looks at me, doubting if she could go or not. "Go, go! I'm sure Lando is almost done. I'll see you guys tomorrow." While they walk away Max turns around and flexes his arm muscles, imitating me. Gosh, why did Lando say that. Max turns back around laughing, probably finding himself hilarious. I grab my phone and text Lando.

Mia: Where are you?

After waiting another few minutes I decide to go look for him myself. God, I have no idea where Kelly dragged me to. I walk through all kinds of trucks, but can't seem to find my way to the garages.

"You look lost" some guy says. He looks young.

"Is it that obvious?" I joke.

"Can I point you in the right direction maybe?" God, this guy is tall.

"That would be great, I'm headed towards the garages, well trying to anyway."

"Oh, I'll walk you there" he says.

"Really? You don't have to, I don't want to bother you."

"No problem, I'm headed there anyway" he says while softly laying his hand on my shoulder, leading me in the right direction. I discreetly move a bit away from him, so his hand slides of my shoulder. He doesn't seem to notice.

"I haven't seen you around, first time at the race track?" he asks.

"Yeah, I havent been to many, I'm not much of a race fan" I say awkward while we turn a corner. Ah, there is the garage, finally. I see Lando, he's talking to some other guys from his team. I wave, hoping he sees me.

"You should come more often, I'm very good " he says jokingly, while brushing his arm against mine. Ugh, I don't like when he does that. And I should really to remember the drivers, how embarrasing.

"Back off, George" Charles says, who just walked out of his garage. I see Lando walking towards us. "What? I was just sending her in the right direction" he says while holding his hands up, "Besides, why do you care who I talk to, Charles?" George asks while crossing his arms. "Because I know you, Mr steal you girl" Charles jokes. "Oh come on, I didn't know Charlotte was with you" George says while rolling his eyes.

George then looks at me again. "Wait, who are you here with?"

"Me" Lando says while laying his arm around my shoulder. George smiles. "Really?" He looks surprised.

"Well, I see what you like about her" George says.

"Watch your mouth George" Charles warns, probably knowing that what George is going to say next, isn't going to go very well. I look at Lando who just looks annoyed.

"What is don't get, is what she likes about you" George says. I think he means it as a joke, but it comes out the wrong way.

"That's cause I haven't fucked you yet" Lando says.

"Lando!" Charles screams as he bursts out in laughing. I look at Lando with my mouth open, did he just really say that? Lando doesn't wait for a response and walks away from George, pulling me with him. I don't know why, but that was kind of hot.

"You have such a big mouth" I say while playfully slapping his belly.

"You didn't seem to mind" Lando says, his eyes focused on me. I unknowingly bite my lip. Well he's right about that.

"Fuck, don't do that" he growls. We walk around a corner. I think we are walking towards the car, but who the hell knows anymore. Its like a labyrinth here.

"What?"

"Bite that lip of yours."

"Well, maybe I'll let you do that if you play your cards right" I joke. Lando looks at me while licking his lip. This guy knows damn too well he can do with me what ever the hell he wants. Fuck, Mia. Where is your self control?
