Love at First Sight

Part 15

» Song by Rita Ora (slowed version)

2 hours of ride, they finally end the race. Lando finished on P7. Again, same as previous race.

It will always be the same in a month. He never pass P6. P6 is the best place that he can ever do for now. If he got P5, that will be the best week that he will ever had. He always try all his best.

He could have done P6 today but because of the thoughts and the overthinking makes him a bit distracted during racing. Love you know, it can ruin you in many way.

The kiss incident have happened more than an hour now, but Lando still thinking how to solve it. He still can't find the right one.

Since he still blank with this situation, he choose to ask his teammate aka his best friend Carlos. He has a beautiful girlfriend Isa, so he can maybe give some help. He will definitely be an expert.

"P7 for this week what's your thoughts about it?" Always be the same question when you don't achieve that one thing in a better place.

"It's hard you know from P11 to get to P7, so I'm a bit proud with it". He said with honesty.

"What makes you couldn't finish on P6?" The reporter ask again. That's their job. Ask, and get some answer. Anyway, this question kinda tricky for him to answer.

'What makes you...'. That means they wanted to know how he can't get on P6 today. Lando silence and give a nervous smile to replace his nerves.

If he show that nerves to the public, people can find out that there's something he's hiding. Like him and Julia. It's getting more obvious now. No one never know what will the paparazzi or maybe soms fans will do between them.

Sometimes fans are smarter than anyone else. But not all of them are true.

Before he could start talking, he tsked and look down to the ground. There's no other choice, he needs to lie. "We all know, racing is not easy and every driver will have different race week".

The answer is fact and it make sense, but it's not the actual answer. "We get it Lando. So what's your prediction for the next one?" This must be the last one. Hopefully.

"I think I can get P5, my target. But yeah I don't know, we'll never know. That's what I'm hoping, let's just wish the best and prepare for anything". Precise, perfection.

The reporter give a polite smile and nod before Lando walk away from the interview section. That is the last reporter that he need to meet for today.

As usual, Charlotte is next to her, kinda being his bodyguard. Charlotte is not his bodyguard, just his personal assistant so her job is to guide him and tell every important news.

That's what we called personal assistant. In the same time, Charlotte is a friend of his. They have known each other since Lando get into F1 and Charlotte is the closest one to talk.

They both on their way to get back to the hospitality to do some more few stuff that need to he solved just like Charlotte told him to.

On their way to the hospitality, Lando open a little chat while walking. "Char'". He ask with the nickname in questioning tone. She look up from her phone, meeting his eye.

"Yup?" She said. Lando suddenly forgot the thing that he wanted to say. So then he look away from her and swipe his face down.

"Is everything good?" Lando let out a quiet sigh. "No Char'. I don't know". He shrugged, he is okay just hectic. "What about?" Lando look at her with shocking eye.
