Monza - {Lando Norris}

Chapter 15

After around 15 minutes of driving and Lando being unable to listen to my directions, we finally arrive at my apartment "Thanks Lando" I begin to push open the door when the car is shut off and I hear Lando unbuckling his seatbelt. I glance over to the driver seat just to see the door shut, as I gather my things I look up to see Lando holding his hand out to me and I take it and once again he basically drags me out of the seat, he pulls the door down forcefully and then clicks his car keys, the car makes a small muffled beep to indicate it's locked "Are you not going home?..." I asked confused as Lando grabs hold of my hand "It's somewhat late at night, I want to make sure you get home safe and sound" I look to the ground as I feel the blush overwhelming my cheeks, I'm so glad it's dark outside. Once we get to my door, I ruffle around in my handbag in an attempt to find the keys, god I really need to clear this bag out. Finally I find the keys and I push it into the door unlocking it swiftly, I push the door open and as usually it makes the quiet squeaking noise it always do, I walk through the door and throw my handbag onto my sofa whilst Lando stands outside the door awkwardly rubbing his hands together "Do you want to come in for a while?" I question him and he looks up as his eyes light up "Yeah, of course! I can't really stay long though as I have another practice session tomorrow" I nod my head as he enthusiastically bounces through the door and closes it shut and then proceeds to lock it. "Do you want a drink or anything?" He looks around my apartment taking it all in, it's not much but I like to think that I've decorated it perfectly "Do you have milk" With widened eyes I look over towards him "You want a glass of milk?" Lando sighs loudly whilst shaking his head "It's actually quite tasty and it's good for you. Every time I ask for it everyone looks at me as if I have 4 heads" I laugh as I walk into the kitchen and pour him the absolute disgrace of a glass of milk, I walk over to him as I notice he's still looking around with what looks like amazement in his eyes "There you go Mr Norris, make yourself at home, I'm going to change" As I walk away I hear him scoff and throw himself into my sofa. I wreck my wardrobe in attempt to find a nice comfy pair of jammies, finally I see my cute brown silk pyjamas and throw them on, I begin to take my makeup off when all of a sudden Lando shouts into me "I really like your apartment, it's cute" It doesn't take me long to get all my makeup off and I throw my hair into a messy bun before walking back out and jumping into the sofa beside him "Do you want anything to wear, I hate laying around in jeans. I have a pair of sweats which are too big for me, they would probably fit you" He downs the glass of milk and wipes the corner of his mouth before jumping up and walking into the kitchen and putting the glass into the sink "Yeah, I'll take them, where are they?" As tired as my body is, I pull myself up from the sofa and walk back into my room "Follow me" I hear his steps behind me as I pull open the bottom drawer of my wardrobe and pull out the grey sweats that my mum and dad had bought me for last christmas , they must have thought I had gained so much weight cause I'm pretty sure these sweats were XL, I throw them towards him and it doesn't even seem to affect him as he looks around my room "So... this is where you take your mirror pics at them" What a weird thing to come out with "Your room looks so comfortable and homely. I miss that feeling with having to stay in hotels all the time" He speaks quietly as if he didn't want me to hear what he was saying "Yeah, I put quite some effort into my apartment, since I was going to be living alone, I wanted it to feel homely so I would always feel safe" He yawns and stretches his arms out wide "You should go back to the hotel...You're tired and as you said you have a big day tomorrow" He sits down at the edge of my bed and begins to take his shoes off "It's only practice, it's not that big of a deal" He sarcastically comments, he then begins to undo the zip on his jeans and I look away, I'm awkwardly staring at the wall as Lando's contagious laugh fills the room "You can look you know, you already seen me half naked at the hotel so I can't see how this is any different" Humour lingers off his voice as I fight myself mentally not to turn around "Right, you can look now. Let's go watch a movie or something" I hear him stand up and only when I hear his footsteps get distant then I turn around and follow him back out to the sofa. 

"What do you want to watch" I feel like he's asked this 100 times as I flick up and down through netflix "Lando I already told you I wasn't good at picking films, that's why I asked you to do it but you're being stubborn" He finally grabs the remote out of my hand and heads to the horror genre "You're not a scaredy cat are you Sofia" He sticks his tongue out of me as I focus my attention back onto the screen. He stops scrolling when he comes across The Conjuring "You haven't watched this before, have you?" He reaches across and turns on the small lamp to let some light surround us "No, I don't think I have, I never really had time to sit down and watch stuff" He shuffles closer to me on the sofa "Same here, was always too busy for it. Do you have any snacks that I can grab before I start it?" I grab the blanket that hangs around the back of the sofa "Yeah, I think I have some popcorn, it's in the cupboard above the fridge, if you're getting it would you mind grabbing me a glass of water please?" He jumps up off the sofa and I feel sad that the warmness of his body is gone so I wrap the blanket around me but leave some for him, he hurriedly comes back and sits back down beside me. He reaches forwards and sets my glass of water on the coffee table and hands me the bag of popcorn before snuggling back into the sofa and throwing the blanket around him, once he's settled and comfy he presses play on the film. About 20 minutes into the film, Lando turns himself around to where he's laying on the sofa now with his head on my lap, of course he's still eating the popcorn but very awkwardly cause of the way he's laying, I find myself watching him struggle with it instead of the film. Lando will jump every now and again when a jump scare happens and my head is starting to hurt from the laughing it's causing me to do "You're not a scaredy cat are you Sofia" I mock him from earlier and he sits up now and looks at me "Ha ha ha, so funny. Will you pause it, I'm going to run to the toilet" I glance at my phone to see that my lockscreen is still packed with notifications from instagram, it's mostly just new people following me but there's a lot of dm's asking if me and Lando are together, I scroll through my dm's and one catches my attention W Model Management, I click on to the dm.

w_modelmgmt: Hi Sofia! We're looking to recruit some new models and we think you would be the perfect face and body for our brand, we really think you would suit it! Our brand at the minute is all about portrait shots but we're looking to expand to body shots. We have noticed your instagram a couple of times but seeing you on tv made the decision fairly easy, we think you would strive in this industry, we would be happy to welcome you to our team. If this sounds good to you, please just shoot us back a dm and we will get talking about all the serious business! Lot of love from us here at W Model Management, hope to hear from you soon! xx

I quickly look up their website and see that they're situated in London, I hear the toilet flush and then his his footsteps coming towards me again "Lando, come look at this" His footsteps get quicker as he plops back down beside me again and I open my phone to show him the dm, he takes the phone out of my hand as his eyes scan through the message "Yeah, why wouldn't you? I've heard about that company before, apparently they're so chill. You just have to go for an induction day and they take a couple photos and then bam you can do what you want as long as you post what they want and frequently, it's a good offer and it's good money. You should go for it" I glance between him and my phone "Fine, let's see what happens"

sofiaderossi: Hi!! Thank you so much for the offer, I would love to take you up on the opportunity! I'm so excited to hear back from you, thank you <3 xx

I throw my phone to the side after pressing send and Lando presses play on the film. Once the film is over I'm basically half asleep and with Lando's head on my lap I don't have the energy to push him off, his small snores is making me feel more and more sleepy, mentally I know I should wake him but I just can't be bothered and as he snuggles his head more into my lap I begin to feel my eyes close as well, I attempt to fight the feeling but it's to no luck as sleep wins and my eyes shut.
