Y/N Leclerc, Charles Leclerc's younger sister and Aurthers twin sister is last years f2 runner up who has gotten the opportunity of a lifetime to race in F1 with mclaren. Will meeting her new teammate Lando Norris be a blessing or a curse. Will she...
I turn off the car as we arrive at the restaurant. I look over at Lando who is taking off his seatbelt. The evening sun shun through the window and lit up his face, his curly brown hair was so perfectly styled, the sun showed off the natural highlights and the toned jawline as he looked down at the belt. Wow he was cute.
L: y/n!!!
Y/n: ohh sorry. I had been staring at him and didn't even realise.
L:don't be it's okay I know my hair is pretty fresh, I got it cut yesterday.
I was so embarrassed I had went bright red Y/n: so shall we head in?
L:yes but wait. He gets out of the car and walks around to my door and opens it and grabs my hand "allow me my dear" he said with a cheeky grin on his face. We both walk up to the entrance giggling. We are greeted at the door by a man dressed in a suit. This places looked fancy me and Lando were very underdressed by the looks of things but I didn't really care.
L: a reservation for Norris
Waiter: ahhh yes follow me
We walked up a flight of oak stares and up onto a roof terrace which was empty but it was beautiful.

W: take your pick after all you did book the whole terrace out.
L:lets sit here by the window. He pulls out a chair for me and then sits down opposite me. I was facing out looking at the amazing view of the lake and gardens.
Y/n: booked out the full terrace I see??
L:well I didn't really want to sit in a restaurant full of people, don't get me wrong I like fans asking for pictures but I like time to be chill and just enjoy the food and company.
Y/n: that's a fair point I can't imagine what it's like to be noticed in public I've never really experienced it, and I must say this view is amazing.
L: trust me you will know what it's like to be noticed in a few months and I must say my view is pretty sweet too.
Y/n: Lando your view is literally of a wooden slatted wall with leaves draped along it.
L:wow you really don't get it do you...I was talking about you, you look really nice today.
Y/n: wow lando thanks so much, I must say you don't look to bad yourself.
We order our food I got pasta with tomato and chilli sauce. Lando got a chicken pizza with sour cream...ewww.
L: so tell me how did u get into racing?
Y/n: well I pretty much grew up around it with Charles racing and my god father Jules racing too (ohh how I missed Jules) then when I was 3 I got my fist kart and it pretty much started there, but when I was 6 I went to a mini Moto race and I loved it and Jules then bought me a mini moto for my 7th birthday. I fell in love with racing and began to lean more towards racing bikes. I tried to juggle karts and bikes but when I was 17 I had to chose one or the other to peruse if I wanted to go pro so coming from a family of karting and formula racing I decided to follow the rest and pick karting.
L: wow that's so cool so your into bikes and f1 I'm the exact same, my idol is Valentino Rossi. I raced mini moto when I was young but wasn't very good whereas with karting I kinda just clicked with it I guess. I always wanted to be an f1 driver but never really believed in myself but my mum and dad were amazing they always had my back and always believed in me even when I wasn't doing very well. I was put down allot as a kid by other drivers I was quite different, I was a quiet kid and was allot smaller than the other lads so they made fun of me allot, then when I started wining it got worse I think they got jealous but anyway here we are now an f1 driver with thick skin living my best life.
I had no idea he had it hard when he began karting. He always seemed so happy and funny and cheerful. I guess we all mature and learn to surround ourselves with the right people. I had it extremely hard growing up to, I was always being put down as I was a girl but I didn't want the conversation to get too deep so I left it at that, we chatted for the rest of the night and laughed ALLOT.
W: so guys was everything okay?
Y/n: Absolutely amazing thank you
L: yes it was perfect
W: okay well here is the bill
I pulled out my purse. Lando immediately puts his hand on mine and pushes my purse back down into my bag.
L: y/n I got this don't worry
Y/n: no I insist I pay for half
L: don't be stupid, please let me get this, call it a welcome present from me.
Y/n: thanks so much Lando
He payed the check and puts his hand around my waist as we walk back down the stairs and outside. It was pitch black outside but the car park was beautifully lit by fairy lights in the trees surrounding it. We walked towards his car. He opened the passenger door for me and closed it after I got in and he then walked to his side and plonks down into the seat. Before he started the car he looked over at me "thanks for tonight I really enjoyed myself and getting to know you better".
Y/n: yes same Lando thanks I really enjoyed myself.
L: maybe we could do it another time ?
Y/n: definitely!!
L:okay we may get you back so you can get a good night sleep and get ready for me to make a show of you in that fitness test tomorrow.
Y/n: yes sure you will, let's wait and see I might surprise you.
He drove me back to MTC to collect my car. The whole way home we chat with no music just casual light hearted chats. I look over at him and admire his face, the moon lit sky made him look so amazing. Before I knew it we were back at MTC. Lando walked around and opened my door and helped me out.
L: thanks again for tonight I really had fun.
Y/n: I'm the same, can't wait to beat you tomorrow tho.
We both laugh as he pulled me on for a hug. His chin was rested on my head, he held me so tight his body was so warm compared to the cool air around us. It was only a short hug but I wanted it to last forever.
L: here is my number text me when your home so I know you got home safe.
Y/n: will do thanks again.
I got into my car and cranked up the heating it was pretty cold. He waited for me to be in my car before he drove out. He gave me a wave and off he went. I was almost home when I realised why I was so cold, i had left my jacket in his car, silly me. As i drove home all I could think about was him and tonight it was amazing, he was so kind and very cute. I couldn't get him out of my head but I knew we could only ever be friends and anyway he would never be interested in me, but anyway just friends because it's against the Mclaren policy. Anyway it dosent matter...just friends nothing more.
