Lando Norris | Formula 1

Chapter Ten

The music was blasting, I ditched the dinner with the other rally drivers and formula 1 guys.

I didn't want to show up in broad daylight with the damage on my face.

I went directly to the club and kick started the evening as the music blasted in the entire building.

"Hey, what happened to your face?" Andreas asked as he approached the VIP tables we had reserved.

"I tripped" I say and hand him a shot before planting a kiss to his cheek as he did the same to me.

"We fucking did it" I say and cheer as we take the shots.

"The other rally drivers are coming soon, the F1 guys are intimidating them, so they're probably here within an hour" Andreas said and I laughed.

Lando texted me for the tenth time.

Lando-Cute-Norris:
Where are you?
Are you ditching dinner?
Are you okay?
Are you meeting us at the club?
Did you eat yet?
Are you there?
We're there in a half hour.

I forced myself to ignore them. How could I lie to him when he came here and saw?

I could stay away all night. That was my best shot.

I brought Jim another fellow driver, a few years older than me, to the dance floor and danced closely together.

"Are you still single?" He asked in my ear and I sighed. "Yeah" I said not really interested in him.

"Me too" I faked a smile and looked at the entrance as my brother, Kelley and all his friends and fellow drivers walked in.

I saw Lando walk fast behind Max and he looked around fast, trying to locate me.

I shifted Jim, so I could hide in front of him and danced. I didn't have fun.

"I gotta go and say hi to my brother" I tell him and he nods, before I abandon him.

As I make my way to Max and Kelley, an arm wraps around my upper arm and pull me back.

"What happened to your face?" Lando stood there furious and hot as hell.

My smile fell, I couldn't help but be happy to see him, but I had to make him buy my lie.

I didn't want to lie to him. I hated lying.

"Well, I danced to wildly in my room and I tripped and hit my fucking head" I say and play dumb and laugh it off.

Lando doesn't buy it one bit. I could see it in his eyes. "Okay" Lando said and let me go.

I watched as he left me there. That's why I didn't want to lie. I couldn't lie properly to him.

I swallowed the lump in my through and walked to Max and Kelley.

I greeted all of the drivers and somehow sold the same lie to them and they laughed it off believing it.

We sat down and ordered drinks and shots.

George and I were having a constant drinking contest, I was drunk off my ass and I stumbled around.

The race took a toll on me and the alcohol and the beating didn't make my body take the alcohol in my blood well.

"Nat, you're too drunk, go back to the hotel" Max said and I laughed at him like a child and George snickered beside me.

Pierre suddenly joined my other side and joined the contest.

We kept drinking shots and at the end I had to excuse myself to the ladies room.

I pushed the people out of my way as I felt the bile rising in my throat.
