Chapter 10

Night after..... 

(Unedited)

"¡Hola! Perdón por la notificación tardía, pero todos los de Mclaren vendrán a tomar algo y cenar, ¿te gustaría venir?" (Hello! Sorry for the late notification, but everyone from Mclaren will be coming for drinks and dinner, would you like to come?)

Estelle asked as she fiddled with the ends of her hair. Estelle was the talk of the whole team from what I had heard. She was an attractive young Portuguese woman. She had tanned smooth skin, stunning hazel eyes, long luscious dark chocolate hair and an amazing figure. My god no wonder all the men and women on the team were drooling over her. 

"¿Bien a qué hora?" (Ok what time?)

"8-8:30-ish" She replied whilst holding strong eye contact with the floor.

"Ok see you then" We both said at the same time. This earned a small smile from both of us.

I walked over to my suitcase and I rummaged through the different clothing inside. I pulled out a short black dress with off shoulder long sleeves. I found a pair of heels and rushed to the bathroom. I applied a light cover of makeup and I decided to call it a finish. I was determined not to let what Lando said get to me, but it did. I had put all my walls up after the previous encounters with him, yet I was continuing to let the walls crack. 

I walked out of my apartment and I checked my phone for notifications, but there was only notifications from boring media outlets and from multiple old men in my dm's. I pressed the button to go the bar level. The doors opened and I immediately wished that I had waited a little longer. 

I was greeted with Lando in jeans and a button up shirt. I had almost ran away, but I knew that it wasn't sensible and that it was just immature. I had to talk to him again at some stage and I knew it. "I'm leaving" Brought me out of my trance. "sorry" I mumbled shyly. I cursed as I remembered how long the ride was to the bar that was on the top floor. "You cleaned up well for a skank" I scoffed at the remark made by my colleague. Before I could fit a word out I was once again interrupted. "Surprised you didn't go and do-" He stopped himself, which made me look towards him and see why he had stopped talking. "Zak" Came out of his mouth.

"How is everything going between you two?" Zak asked as he put both of his hands in his pockets. "Everything is great, we have been discussing some idea's to make my social media more interesting" Lando quickly replied as he put a hand on my shoulder. I cringed, but quickly remembered that both of them were standing in an uncomfortable silence. "I have a few idea's but I'm not absolutely certain yet" I said as I smiled and nodded. "That sounds good, let me know when you have a list of idea's, that you are certain of" Zak replied as he mirrored my actions. "Will do" I said as I watched him walk off. I waited till he was far enough to not hear what I was about to say, to say it. 

The elevator dinged and we all walked out. I went to walk out to the bar area, behind Zak, but I was pulled into a corner by Lando.

I opened my mouth to speak but I noticed there was still a warm hand on my bare shoulder. I looked at Lando's hand, then I worked my way up to his face. His blue eyes stared into mine making me shiver. The eye contact was strong and I soon began to feel smaller and smaller by the second. I slightly backed up and I noticed him coming closer, now slightly towering over me. His face got closer and my breath hitched in my throat. He leaned in and I froze. "L- We can't-" I whispered as I closed my eyes hoping that this would soon end. "We can't what?" He replied as he pulled back, slightly. "You didn't think that I was going to kiss you, did you?" He asked as he gave an evil smirk. "I-Well you- I just-" I mumbled as I stared down at my shoes. My shoes had never been more interesting. "Well you what?" He mimicked as he looked at me and looked to be holding in a chuckle. "I just thought you were trying to kiss me, and I didn't want that" I finally got out slowly swallowing the bile rising in my oesophagus.

"Every time you start talking, I think to myself 'who the fuck does this girl think she is?'"

I looked up to see him giving me a glare of resentment.

"You are   so   fucking   boring" I stayed silent.

A single tear drop fell from my eye.

"Oh, you're crying now. What's new?"

He said as he rolled his eyes and walked away, to where our other colleagues were.
