Higher power - Lando Norris

34. Okay, sure

It was Sunday and the boys just finished there race, Lando finished p6 and I was proud. Max finished p2, not the place he wanted to end because the championship was almost coming to an end with three more races to go. Between Max and Lewis were only 13 points apart in favor of Max, so I was already a bit nervous of how thing would work out. But for now I was proud of my boys, I knew Lando would be content with his own race so I could just enjoy his happiness and Max his podium place, I walked up to parc ferme. Lando was the first one to walk up to me, I though I stood out of sight for most people but I was wrong, again. Lando hugged his team en hugged me before I gave his helmet a small kiss on the side, "I'm proud of you", he smiled to me underneath his helmet and reacted with "thanks sunshine". He walked away and I could see us on the screen, nice.... I didn't care too much and waited for Max to come out of the car, he hugged the whole team and Kelly gave him also a kiss on his helmet before he turned to me and gave me a quick hug "good job Max, you can be proud of yourself". He didn't really respond to me, but I knew it wasn't anything personal against me, he was just his grumpy self.

I watched Max get on the podium while Lando got back from his check, he wasn't wearing his helmet anymore. "what are you doing here? you never watch other guys there podium", he laughed at me "Wanted to ask if you could go with me to the media, do some interviews and then leave" I nod, I was sure Max would be okay, Kelly was there for him. We walked to the media corner and talked to some interviewers from sky sport and German tv. 

When we ended up at Ziggo, the interviewer involved me in the last question. "En Nina, ben je trots op je vriend", Lando looked confused at me "what did he ask?". I smile at Jack the interviewer before responding to Lando, "he asked me if I was proud of you". I look back at the camara "Ik ben erg trots op hem, hij legt altijd veel druk op hem zelf maar deze race was gewoon goed en ik ben blij dat hij dat zelf ook door heeft", Jack smiled at me and asked one last question. "En mogen de Nederlandse fans al weten of jullie twee een relatie hebben?" Charlotte touched my arm, not wanting me to say anything stupid, she didn't understand dutch and Lando also wasn't following the question. I smiled at Jack and answered with "die vraag mag je hem zelf volgend weekend vragen" with a wink and thanked him for the questions, so did Lando before. Charlotte grabbed my arm and dragged me to a corner were no media would hear us, "what did he ask you?" she questions me probably scared I told him something I shouldn't have told him. "he asked me if Lando was my boyfriend", she looked relieved that it wasn't anything about the car or the race and decides to drop the question but Lando wanted to know my response, "so what did you tell him?", I look at Lando with a smile "I told him he could ask you next weekend".

Lando laughed and kissed my cheek while putting arm around my schouders walking to his garage to let the team know he would go back to the hotel. He talked with his engineer about the latest information they got from the race before saying bye to Charlotte. I hugged Charlotte and said goodbye to Jon and Daniel before grabbing Lando his hand and walking to the exit of the track. Of course there were a lot of fans waiting for there favourite driver to go back to their hotel so I waved at some of them before turning my attention to Lando. He smiled at me and we enjoyed the silence between us for a while. "Thanks for joining me this weekend Nina, I'm glad you were here with me", I put my hand behind his neck and play with the ends of his hair "Of course, I like to be around the track and be with you" A small smile formed on his lips before letting out a sight "I'm fucking tired" I laugh about his comment "Let's eat something back at the hotel and go to sleep after that" Lando hummed at my idea.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We finally laid in bed and Lando was fast asleep on my chest, his soft snoring made me giggle a bit but I tried to stay calm so he wouldn't wake up. I looked at my phone and decide to text Liz with everything that happened over this weekend. We texted for almost an hour because I had to tell her the whole story about Lando confessing his love and I told her about the race. After a while I was tired and decided to go asleep as well. 

I looked up at the ceiling and thought about my life currently, I felt happy in some way. I had a loving 'soon to be'boyfriend, great family support and a honest best friend. But still I felt empty when I was alone, I missed the love of my mother and her support. She was always there for me to talk about anything and now, I just had to do it on my own or at least it felt like that. I miss her a lot and even with Lando being the brightest spark in my life right now, he couldn't fill the empty feeling inside of me. I was thinking about how the first night went between me and Lando, we almost had a one night stand, I didn't think back then I would ever love this guy. The way things went was strange but after all it made us stronger and we communicated better after the incident. I was lucky to have a boy like Lando in my arms right now and I hoped he felt happy too because I want him to feel loved and wanted and it was my task to let him feel it that way. I looked down at Lando being asleep, his curly hair tickling my neck a bit, I kissed his forehead before closing my eyes and drifting of in a deep sleep.

-------------------------------------------------

I woke up the next, I rolled over to feel if there was somebody still next to be, nothing. I opened my eyes and looked around, no Lando to be found. I heard some voices talking at by the door, so I sit up and see Lando talking to a girl, I couldn't see her face but she wore a black dress. I first though it was someone of the hotel but Lando spoke a bit to frustrated to talk to someone of the hotel. I grabbed Lando shirt and put it over my top to cover up my body a bit and walked to the door. The girl looked at me like I just stole her lollipop. I smiled at her not letting it get me, Lando looked a bit worried at me, "good morning", I give Lando a kiss on his cheek to let her know, Lando was mine and not hers to take. Then I decide to walk off and let them talk about whatever they were talking about. Lando would tell me after there talk who the girl was, right?

I closed myself up in the bathroom and put my back against the door and slipt down so I sat on the ground. I stretched my neck and look in front of me, I didn't wanna jump to conclusions so I stood up after a couple minutes of clearing my mind and turned on the shower. I let the water hit my skin and wash my body with the lotion I broad with me, it smelled like coconut. My favourite sent, I let all the stress I didn't knew I had fall of my shoulders, taking deep breaths and focusing on the water falling on my face. After a while I hear the door close and it wasn't really gentle how the door was closed, I hear someone trying to come in the bathroom but I locked the door so Lando couldn't get in. I needed some space so I pretended I didn't hear the door and just stayed focusing on myself, I wanted to feel peaceful by myself.

A/N

This story will come to an end, 6 chapters to go and then this story will be done. Kinda sad, kinda glad because it is my first book ever written. I want to write a new book after this about jj from Outer Banks but let me know what you guys want to read. I'm sad when I have to end this story so maybe a part two on Nina verstappen is possible because I do love this story but for now it's gonna be a 40 chapter story. Gonna try to post every day till the end because I almost wrote everything till the end.

Lots of Love X
