Lando Norris Shorts (Complete)

10. Kart Race (best story)

(You guys seemed to like my last racing scenario with Lando, so here is another. Also I cannot believe I am already on my 10th short story, thank you for all the support! Enjoy, this is my favorite section so far! )

Lando had been working on this secret project for months now. It was his LN racing kart, a high powered machine decorated in a whimsical medley of blue and lime green.

This scene takes place in the campaign shoot; Lando had been taking pictures with the kart, and thought it would be fun to create a promotion video with him and his girlfriend racing. You have never gotten behind the wheel of a kart before (as mentioned in my previous section).

"Babe; where- where are the pedals?" You asked with a laugh while looking around, sitting down in the kart for the first time. The karts was parked at the track, all ready to go. Lando chuckled, you felt his gloved hand resting gently on the shoulder of your racing suit.

He wanted to make sure you were situated first in the kart before continuing to his and advancing to the warm up lap. "They are right here, just drive her like a normal car and stick tight to the corners so you wont spin out."

"Really, how is that supposed to help at all. This is my first time doing this im going to crash!"

"Well do you want me to fricken tow the kart behind mine or something like that?"

"No!" You said stubbornly, crossing your arms.

"Alright then, just hold onto the wheel and follow the track and you will be fine. Dont even worry about a racing line today,"

"Well how am I supposed to win our race then if I'm not following the line. Sabotage much?" You said with obvious sarcasm. Of course there was literally zero chance you would win any type of kart race against an F1 driver, especially your first time.

"Have it your way then, but if you crash its not my fault I tried to warn you," His hand briskly slipped off your shoulder, leaving you instantly feeling clingy again for him.

"Lando come baack" You whined for your handsome boyfriend.

You reached for his arm and clutched it to your chest. It was no longer Lando's arm for you had primary control of it and would not let it escape your wrath.
He let his thick arm grow limp in your clutch.

"Im scared I am going to actually run into something, like I dont know how to do this" you whimpered. At this moment all you wanted was to be back in the passenger seat of his McLaren, with him having primary control and nothing for you to worry about.

You set his arm free.

Securing your helmet on you nodded, "go easy on me, ok?" with a nervous laugh. Lando patted your helmet twice and replied "nah, you will be fine, I trust you".

"I love you"

"Love you more," he said while settling into his own kart. The valiant number 4 plastered to the front nose glistened in the sunlight.

The promotional film crew gathered around you, setting up the best shots for the race.

You began your engines and tenderly stepped on the gas pedal. The car cruised through the air like a bullet, taking you by surprize. Slowing it down a lot, you leisurely cruised around the track to get a feel for the kart.

It was not at all like driving a car as Lando had said. The kart was way more sensitive, with even the slightest hand movement turning the wheel. The g-forces were apparent, but at the speed you had adopted they didnt really affect you much.

A veil of blush washed over your cheeks as you noticed Lando hung back and waited for you; when he very well could have been done with three laps by now. He gave you plenty of room for the lap; supervising.

Surprisingly, you didnt crash or even come close. The race time had dawned, and it was decided upon that you were to get 3 laps headstart of a 5 lap race.

You both were ready at the starting line. You had set off first, doing your best to maintain pace but still obviously slow. By the time you were nearing the end of your third lap Lando shot off like a gun.

Dawning the fourth lap, Lando had caught up with you and barreled past. Your tires skidded as you engaged a bit more gas. By the time you had reached the 5th lap, you were surprised to still see Lando ahead of you in the distance.

His speed had slowed down exponentially, and this time you could catch up to the leader. It was the last turn on 7, and you managed to squeeze by and take the victory.

Lando had let you win, anyone in their right mind could see that. You brought the kart to a halt by the cameras, with Lando's pulling up behind.

You pulled off your helmet and screamed, "I won! I won! Now where is the champagne?" to Lando. He congratulated you on your "win".

He was really such a sweetheart, allowing you to win and then acting as if you crossed the line first in Abu Dhabi.

In fact, Lando's favorite thing in the world is sharing his career and love for racing with you. Everytime you showed a bit of positive emotion towards the sport brought a smile to his face.

The shoot was a wrap, and the sun began to set over Britain's horizon.
The film crew began to pack up, and Lando settled all the finishing touches with them.

You and Lando began to walk hand and hand back to his P1 in the parking lot.

Your fingers entwined, (gloves were off) and swaying slightly. Back and forth, back and forth.

"So tell me, what I outstanding or what?"

"Outstanding, we have a real champion on our hands right here!"

"Really, I was that good?"

"Well.. not exactly. I sort of had to slam on the breaks there to match your snail's pace."

"Thats so mean, Lando!"

"Let me just say if I were you I would stick to modelling or being a billionaire or whatever you do all day" .

You had reached the P1, and your racing driver opened the passenger gull wing door for you.

You were surprized as he began driving to one of the most elevated restaurants in town.

He explained, "So I figured, maybe I would take you for a little date, and buy you a glass of champagne to commemorate the outstanding victory," as he flashed a toothy grin.

Your bursted into a smile. You really loved him so unexplainably much. He may get on your nerves some times with his tricks and pranks, but at the end of the day your little lovebug absolutely adored you endlessly.
