Wrong Number - Lando Norris

Chapter 4

Olivia looked in the mirror suddenly feeling extra conscious about her own looks. She was still wearing the yellow hoodie and jeans. She untied her hair, fluffed it but decided with a sigh that it definitely was a bad hair day and she pulled her hair up into a messy bun. She opened her wardrobe, took a cute tartan dress out and placed it on the bed. 

"Stop being silly, Olivia. Who games like this..." She told herself before placing the dress aside. Anxiety was starting to kick in as she wondered if this guy was expecting something else other than just playing Fifa. She would have to kick him out if he did as she was definitely not ready.

"Argh, why am I overthinking this? He's probably not even coming anyway." 

Why did she even agree to that? Surely, Max seemed to be nice and good to look at, but he was a stranger and she wasn't even feeling overly social that evening.

Lando decided to take an Uber to London instead of driving. He didn't want Olivia to find out just yet his real name and he assumed that parking his McLaren road car in front of her house would draw a bit too much attention. 

He wasn't one to just meet random girls but Olivia had no clue who he was and he felt it was safe to do so. All he needed to do was remember that his name was Max. He forwarded the text Olivia had sent Max with her address to his own phone before leaving the house.  

"I hope you score with this girl so all this nonsense can stop soon." Max told him as he shook his head in disapproval. 

"Yes, grandpa... What's your issue with all this? You don't usually care who I sleep it!"

"Do you not think that this could go very wrong if she finds out? What if she rats you out to the press? You don't know this girl at all." 

Lando sighed as he took his wallet and placed it in his back pocket. Max was right, but he was just enjoying the thrill. 

"We're just going to play some games... don't stay up late waiting for me." 

"Ok mate, whatever... your call." 

Lando waited for his Uber outside as he wasn't in the mood to be scolded by Max again. It was already dark outside and he figured that he would get by easily if he just put the hood of his oversized black hoodie up. It wouldn't look good if Olivia suddenly had a paparazzi outside her door. 

After an hour where he casually chatted to his Uber driver without giving away who he was, he was finally at Olivia's building. He looked around trying to figure out how to get inside. The intercom didn't seem to be in working order.

"Shit!" He muttered as he realized he couldn't call her from his own phone. He called Max quickly.

"Mate, text Olivia to open the door as I'm right outside." 

*****

Olivia was looking out her window when she spotted a guy in a black hoodie standing outside her building. She wasn't sure if it was Max or not as it wasn't a well-lit area and she didn't want to just invite a random guy in. She assumed that he would text or call her when he arrived. 

She stared out a bit more hoping the guy would look up so she could be sure. She held her phone ready to text him when it suddenly vibrated.

Max: "Hey, I'm just outside. Can you let me in?" 

She looked at the guy outside and at her phone. It was strange that he had just messaged her but she didn't see him use his phone. Olivia shrugged that thought. He was probably just a very quick typer. She left her apartment and made her way downstairs to meet him.
