Molly

"Lando?" I ask sensing that the house is empty, I walk downstairs and go straight for my coffee machine. I spot a note on the kitchen side.

Hey mols,
Headed out for a run with Jon, be home at about 10
I love you
Lands

I giggle and tuck the note into the kitchen drawer, he leaves these most mornings if he is out before me and I keep them all. I pop the pod into the machine and wait for the coffee to start pouring out. I glance up at the kitchen clock and notice that I have overslept and Lando should be home any minute. I pop some bread in the toaster and put together some avocado with some boiled eggs from the fridge. I start assembling everything when I hear the front door open and a second later my curly boy pops his head around the corner "Morning!" He tells me enthusiastically "Hey baby" He immediately spots the breakfasts I've made on the counter "you made me breakfast?" I nod my head sliding a plate towards him across the kitchen island before taking a sip of my drink. He grins at me before stuffing the toast into his mouth, I follow suit and after a few moments we have both finished breakfast. "What would you like to do today Mols?" He asks me and I have no idea "I don't know, there isn't anything I need to get done if I'm being honest" I tell him and he grins at me "Great! We are going karting then!" Has he forgotten that I always used to beat him in karts "Perfect! Have you got a race suit I can borrow?" I ask him and he nods before racing quickly up the stairs,

We arrive at Silverstone and I feel really confused "I told some of the guys that we were going karting and it has now turned into this huge thing" he explains with a shrug. I jump out of his Mclaren to see George, Max, Alex, Carlos, Charles and Seb all suited up waiting for us "This was always the plan wasn't it?" I ask him and he shrugs again "After the last couple of weeks we felt like you deserved to have some fun with your favourite people!" He tells me and I just shake my head "Hey Squirt!" George says as we make our any over. He pulls me in for a hug which Alex joins and I feel genuine happiness for the first time since the incident. Max grabs my hand "you are going to be on my team right?" He asks anxiously and I nod "Sure Max, I guess it will be Charles with Seb, Carlos and Lando and Alex and George" He nods "perfect, George said that you are ridiculous in a kart" I smirk "He isn't wrong!" I turn to see the guys in their teams "Right, usual rules apply, lets all behave ourselves" Seb says taking charge of the situation "Team that scores the most points wins!" He says and Lando mouths that I'm going down so I stick my tongue out at him.

I climb into my kart next to Charles "Good luck Mols" He tells me and I give him a soft smile "You don't need luck when you have pure talent!" I tell him and he seems confused as I pull the visor down on my helmet. They let me take pole to "Be nice" as Seb said, fully unaware of my karting talent. They then set the rest of the grid based on pulling names from a hat, hence me being at the front with Charles. One of the Silverstone Marshalls waves the flag and I slam my foot down on the gas and get a great start. Charles is all over me but I just focus on the corners. We fly through maggots and Beckets, Lando tries a move around the outside of Charles but completely overshoots it. It was enough to distract Charles though and I manage to pull away from him slightly more. It is a close race with most of us managing to keep close to each other with some overtaking at any opportunity. The laps count down and George has managed to get ahead of my when I made a slight mistake into copse. I catch him on the hangar straight and complete the overtake into Stowe. I am feeling quite content at the finish is coming into view with Club being the last turn I need to make before winning. However Charles has caught me and manages to overtake me on the line.

"How on earth are you this good at karting?" Seb asks me once we all climb out "I used to go with Lando all the time" I say and he nods "Of course you did but it seems like you are in the wrong career" He tells me and I take it as a huge compliment "Thanks Seb, it just wasn't really for me" he nods "well if you ever go to a karting championship you would win" he says and Max wraps his arm over my shoulder "I knew i picked the best teammate!" He tells everyone triumphantly earning some laughs. "Right, onto the next activity" Lando tells the group and they all nod but I feel completely lost "What is going on?" I ask him and he just herds me towards the car "you will have to wait and see" he says and I can hear the guys bantering around about some of the silly moves they made and about how much fun it was to race for fun!
