*When you arrive at the motorhome, you notice Lando sitting on a little staircase in front of it*

Y/n: Hey...

*Lando looks up*

Lando: Hey...

Y/n: My god, what happened to your face?

Lando: Nothing. Daniel threw a tennisball at me, but I didn't pay attention

Y/n: It looks painful. Are you okay?

Lando: Yeah, I'm okay. It's just a little bruise

*You look doubtfully at him. He's hiding something, but you decide to not ask any further. This is already going to be hard enough*

*So you sit down quietly next to him on the staircase and stare at the floor*

Lando: So you made it

Y/n: Well I'm sitting next to you, so yes, I made it

*Lando laughs a bit*

Lando: So there is that little sarcasm of yours again. Haven't seen that in a while

*You smile*

Y/n: It has always been there. Deep down. Some things just pushed it away for a bit...

Lando: A lot of things happened, yes...

Y/n: But how was Alex's coffee lunch thing?

Lando: Eventful. Very eventful

*You frown*

Y/n: Eventful? What happened?

*Lando moves a bit, so he's able to look into your eyes*

Lando: You lied to me Y/n...

Y/n: I lied...? What are you talking about?

Lando: I was the cause of the panick attack. My lips on yours caused it all

Y/n: Lando, it was not you...

*You try to save the situation, but you already notice a glint in his eyes*

Lando: Stop lying Y/n... Why? Why didn't you tell me the truth?

Y/n: I am not-

*Lando jumps off the staircase and stands in front of you*

Lando: Why do you keep lying?! I know the truth Y/n! I just want to know why you lied to me! Or still keep lying!

*You look down at your hands*

Y/n: I... I don't want to hurt you Lando...

Lando: But don't you see that you're hurting me by lying as well?

Y/n: I was trying to protect you okay? I knew that if you would find out, you would take it personally. You would be devastated

Lando: But a lie? The fact that you think you can't tell me the truth devastates me...

*You get up from the stairs and stand in front of him*

Y/n: The truth is harsh Lando. Harsh and ugly

Lando: I don't care if it's ugly or not. I just hoped you would trust me

Y/n: I do trust you Lando

*Your voice starts to shake*

Y/n: But the truth is that I don't trust myself by telling about the flashbacks. I don't want to relive it all again

*Tears start to appear in your eyes*

Y/n: The only truth I can tell you, is that it was not you as a person who caused it all. It was purely the combination of a kiss and an elevator. Not you

*Lando shakes his head and looks besides him*

Lando: Why couldn't you tell me this earlier? Why couldn't you tell me yesterday? Right after the interview when I asked you about it...?

Y/n: I couldn't... I just couldn't...

Lando: Because I gave you flashbacks again, right...?

*He puts his hands on top of his head*

*You stay quiet. He did. He gave you flashbacks thrice, by his unexpected movements. In the elevator, during the interview and in front of the Treehouse*

Lando: And let me guess... The flashbacks overrule your feelings, don't they? Because I know you've got feelings for me as well
