An inconvenient attachment

Chapter 71

Happyyyy newyeaar🥳

Lando's pov.

Friday and Saturday go by really quickly. I have meetings, interviews, free practice in the car and qualification. Mia is there with me both days. I love having her here with me. Kelly is here also so she spends some time with her too.

"Ready to go?" I ask, Mia is still in the bathroom. What she does in there, I have no idea. "Yup" she hurry's out, puts on her shoes and she's ready to go. "You look pretty" I grab her hand when we walk out of the hotel room. "You don't look too bad yourself" she says. I always have to remind myself to drive slowly when she's in the car with me. She's finally at the point where her hands don't shake anymore when she's in the car with me. When we turn up at the track fans are already on the side of the road. I open my window and wave to everybody and take some pictures. The paparazzi are already there to take pictures when we walk through security. Mia grabs my hand more firmly, I know she hates pictures being taken of her. "You're fine" I say while giving her hand a squeeze. "Ugh, I know, I just don't like the way I look on photos and who knows how many people will see these ones" Mia says while rolling her eyes. "Stop telling my girlfriend those lies."

Charlotte, my well, sort of assistant, quickly finds me and she tells me the program of today. "I see Kelly, I'll see you at lunch" Mia says while quickly giving me a kiss on my cheek before running off.

"He! Wait up!" I would recognize that voice out of thousands. "What's up?" I give Carlos a short hug when he catches up with us. "Fine and you?" he asks. "Good!"

"Where's Mia?" Carlos asks. "She ran off towards Kelly, guess I'm being replaced" I joke. "Oh shut up. I just wanted to ask her about the drink she made. Pierre told me it was really good."

"What?" I stop walking and turn to face Carlos. "Yeah, with tequila or something in it. And we all know I love tequila" he says enthusiastic. "What are you talking about?" I'm confused. My face clearly showing I have no fucking clue what he is going on about. "Wait, you don't know Pierre was at Mia's place?" Now it's Carlos his turn to look confused. "I didn't know it was some kind of secret" Carlos says, holding his hands up out of innocence. "No, I'm glad you told me" I feel anger burning inside of me. "Oh no, are you still going on about Pierre? I thought you guys we're ok" Carlos says, quickly following me when I walk away. "Yes, perfectly fine" I say more sarcastic than I meant. "Lando, he just visited Mia. I'm sure there is a good reason she didn't tell you" Carlos says. "Better be a fucking good reason" I say, walking into the McLaren building. "Maybe this is the reason, the way you are reacting right now" Carlos yells as I walk away.

"Are you ready?" Mia asks, putting the headphones on so she can hear what is being said about the race. "Yup" I say gruffly. I put my helmet on and get in the car without saying anything else. Let's fucking go.

Mia's pov.

"Oh my god, Pierre! Congratulations!" I almost scream in his ear as he hugs me. Pierre came in third place. After the podium ceremony I spot him walking towards the paddock where the interviews are being held. "You did it!" I slap his shoulder when he lets me go. "God, I can't quite believe it yet" Pierre says with the biggest smile on his face. "I'm so happy for you" I say. "We really have to go" a woman next to Pierre says. "Yup, sorry. Interviews" he says. "Sure, I'll see you later."

"You better, because we are going celebrating tonight" he screams when he is already walking away. I walk back to Lando's trailer and wait there until he is finished. He was really cranky before the race. He walks back in with a sour look on his face. Well, guess his mood didn't lighten up. "You ok, babe?" He's probably down about the race.

"Fine."

"You did great" I say. "Thanks." He talks without even looking at me.

"I have a few days off actually, do you want me to come back to your place?" I ask. "Why don't you ask Pierre?" Lando says, while trying to take off his shirt. Which doesn't quite work, which makes him more angry. What is this guy going on about?

"Because I'm asking you. Besides, why would I ask Pierre?"

"You tell me. You seem to be spending a lot of time with him lately. Maybe you'd rather hang out with him."

"What are you talking about?" I ask. Fuck, I hope he doesn't know about the conversation I had with Pierre. This is bad, real bad.

"He was at your place" Lando says.

"What?" I feel my face burning up. Fuck fuck, what did Pierre tell him?

"Don't lie. Pierre told me he was at your apartment."

"Yeah, so? Why is that a problem?"

"Mia, you know how I feel about him. You didn't like me to take a picture with a random girl, and yet you invite Pierre to your fucking apartment!" He almost screams now. "Be quiet, people might hear you" I say.

"I don't give a fuck!"

"Lando, look at me" I say while grabbing his face in-between my hands. "I didn't invite him. He came by one time. I didn't even want to let him in, but he walked in. You don't need to be so jealous, nothing happened and nothing will."

Lando sighs. He seems to relax a bit, but he still looks angry. "Just let me be alone for a moment" Lando says and turns his back towards me. What the actual fuck. I know I can be jealous sometimes, but we talk it out. I don't send him away. Dick. I walk around and slam the door behind me. I don't care who sees. Anyone can know what an idiot he is being.
