!! MENTIONS OF S*X !!

Birmingham, 13th July 2019

After spending another hour in the paddock, I get on board the papaya-colored McLaren from Lan, we arrive in his "special place".
It is a hill from which the city lights can be seen very well. It is evening, the sunset is falling over the city of Birmingham that we see from afar.

"When I feel lost, I often come here. It calms me so much to see those lights, this place... this place has the ability to lighten my mind when I have too many things to think about... it's peaceful, I feel free. Free as when I'm driving." he says in a low voice, as if not to lose the magic of his special place.

"It's true, it's really beautiful here... in Italy I too have a place dear to me that makes me peace. I'll take you there someday. Do you usually come here alone?"

"Yes, nobody knows this refuge of mine. You are the first person I bring here. It's special to me, just like you are... "

"My love..." I whisper, resting my head on the hollow of his neck "...it's beautiful..."

It is a breathtaking sight. The lights of the city blend perfectly with our silence. There is nothing better than this: a panorama, my person and the silence. The atmosphere here is intimate, even if we do not speak, it almost seems to feel something. Instinctively, we both turn to look at each other's eyes and exchange a tender and sweet kiss.

"I brought you here to make me happy, you calm me down, like this place does. I feel safe with you."

"Lan... me too. I feel the same. I'm glad you told me these things, they are worth more than anything else." I whisper giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Lando smiles, placing his hands on my hips. Every time we end up in this position I have a little laugh because he is so clumsy but at the same time sure of himself. I give him another kiss before getting back in the car.

"Will you come and sleep with me? We'll enter from the back, nobody will see you. I want to make you understand how much I love you... "

"Lando... I..." I say insecure. What if he wants to have sex with me?

"Don't worry, I just want to sleep with you, cuddle you, kiss you... I won't touch you." he says sympathetically, taking my face in his hands. "If you don't feel like it, don't worry, I'll never try to do anything you don't want to do. I'll always wait for you."

"Okay, but I'll call Amy or she'll worry." I begin.

"Yeah, call her, no worries!" he smiles gently, walking away a few meters.

After calling Amy, who is excited for us, I get into Lando's car and together we head to the hotel where he is staying.

Arrived, we enter the hall very cautiously using the emergency exit at the back, not being seen by anyone of importance.

There is only one security officer, who is very nice by the way.

We don't want paparazzi, not on these occasions. If there is one thing I expect from Lando it is privacy. It's okay to be seen on the dance floor, while shopping or dining out, but when we're closer, like now, we hate that the world can "steal" these moments from us.

"You are welcome." the clerk tells us. We take the elevator, Lando takes out his card. We walk down the corridor and arrived in front of the door, we hear a noise.

"This is Daniel's room." Lando points to the door in front of his room.

I nod. A shiver runs through my back when Lando opens his door, the room is a gigantic suite, royal, well furnished, clean and tidy.

"Are you hungry? We haven't had dinner, Vi." asks Lando.

"Well, actually I have a lot. What time is it?"

"It's nine o'clock." he says looking at his wristwatch.

"Then it's true that time passes quickly when you're with the one you love..."

"Mh, yes..." he smiles "so, shall we go down to dinner?"

"Yes, come on... since I'm decently dressed. There won't be anyone, right?"

"No, at most a few drivers, don't worry, hun." he takes my hand, closes the door and we go down the stairs to the hotel restaurant together.

After ordering, Lando gets up to talk to Carlos, I join them to tell the Englishman that I will be absent for a moment.

"I should go to the bathroom. If the food arrives, call me... "

"Okay Love."

I head to the bathroom, but I don't feel very well, my head is spinning and I feel foolish not to have told Lando, that he could have accompanied me.

"Are you OK? ...Viola, right?" a man with a familiar face is talking to me while I am in his arms.

"Yes... Lan-do."

"Lando? Are you his girlfriend?" he asks as to see if I am lucid.

"Daniel? Yes, what am I doing here? " I say slowly getting acquainted.

"You were going to the bathroom, you passed out in the corridor but luckily I was there and I caught you on the fly."

"Ah, my God, thank you."

His eyes are penetrating and seductive... No, I can't think that. Maybe the fainting made me lose my mind.

"Are you OK now?"

"Yes, feeling better. I'm starting to remember everything again..."

"Come, I'll bring you back to him." says Daniel.

He holds me with one arm at the waist as we walk to the table.

"Lando..."

"There you are... Daniel?" Lando is confused.

"Mate, she passed out and luckily I was there. I gave her a glass of water, she feels better."

"Thanks Dan." Lando smiles gratefully, relieved.

"Thank you very much indeed." I also thank the Australian.

"I leave you. Have a nice dinner, guys!" Danny smiles.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Better Lan. I think it was the low blood pressure that caused this passing out. It often happens when I'm a little upset or worried."

"Oh I see, but you should do some blood tests. Do you want to go in my room for dinner?" he asks me.

"You're right... anyway yes, maybe it's better if we go up. I wouldn't want it to happen again in public."

"Okay, I warn the waiter." he gets up and warns, then he takes me by the hand and we go upstairs.

"Sorry Lando... don't feel worried, it happens."

"Don't worry, the important thing is that you are better now."

I hug him instinctively, then our dinner arrives .We eat and then as soon as we're done we place our plates on a tray that a waitress cordially withdraws.

"Oh, man, I don't have pajamas..." I say blushing as I brush my teeth.

"Uh, you'll sleep in my shirt then." Lando answers me. We walk past the boy's suitcase, who hands me a t-shirt with the McLaren logo and his initials along with his number 'LN04'. Although Lando is just a little taller than me, this shirt on me looks like a night dress. It smells like him, I undress myself and wear it.

"I think I'll never get that shirt back, isn't it?"

"I think it will be so, love."

He laughs, he is so handsome. We spend the night pampering ourselves. I feel much better. I fall asleep between Lando's arms. He caresses my hair, leaving me kisses, back-scratching me.

"I love you." I hear these two words whispered in my ears. I'm the luckiest girl in the whole world.
