Lando Norris | Formula 1

Chapter Fifteen

We told Christian and Scott our decision. They were happy to hear it and were putting it in works.

We were supposed to do a live video on instagram and talk to the fans.

I sat on the couch with Lando as I anxiously waited. My leg bounced up and down and I bit my nails.

"Nat, calm down" Lando said and scooted closer.

"I can't" I say and turn to him. "You can, you can control it. Own the situation, you're in charge on how much knowledge they get" Lando says and I nod.

"You're right" I say. "Of course I am" he says cockily and I hit his chest and roll my eyes.

"Maybe I should change" I say and look down, I hadn't yet changed the bloody shirt, I had just put Max' hoodie over it and slept in it.

I pulled the hoodie over my head as I stood up. "Nat..." Lando said alert as he saw the blood.

"It's from last night" I reminded him and he shook his head. He was still angry about it.

"Why are you still here again?" Max suddenly said as he walked into the room. I looked at Max and saw he talked to Lando.

"Support for you and your sister?" Lando said but it sounded like a question. What was the real reason?

I didn't know. I shrugged and found a Redbull jersey and slipped it over my head and let the shirt slide down my upper body.

I brushed my hair and winced at the tired girl staring at me in the mirror.

"Fuck it" I said and left the bathroom.

"Where's Lando?" I ask as I saw an empty couch.

"I sent him on his way" Max said fixing his shirt. I stared at him in disbelief. "Why?"

"Why not? Why would he even be here for this? It's not his business?" Max said raising an eyebrow.

I realized his words were right. Lando was just trying to be supportive to me and just be there.

But this wasn't his business.

"Why do you care?" Max asks sending me a suspicious look. Kelley lifted her head and I told her no with my eyes as she opened her mouth.

"I don't, I just wondered" I say and walk to my spot. Max shook his head as Kelley sighed.

"Would it really be that bad, if one of the F1 guys were dating Nat?" Kelley suddenly asked and Max froze.

He shot daggers at Kelley before looking at me. "Yes. But why would she?" Max questioned and looked at me.

I shrugged clueless to why she asked the question and sighed as I got ready for the live video.

"Just asking, would it really be so bad?" Kelley asked and Penelope walked over to me.

"Yes!" Max snapped and I rolled my eyes. "Maxi is a little cranky, P" I teased and made a face that made Penelope laugh.

"Go to your mom" I whisper and she does as I told her.

"Start the damn thing already" Max grumbled and I laughed at him.

He shot me daggers and I lifted my hands in defeat and stopped laughing. Man he was cranky.

I pressed the button and we started the live video, Max started talking and we followed the vibe from the fans, lots of them were just happy that we confirmed our state.

"Thank you for watching this, we'll see you soon. Bye!" I say to the camera and Max and I wave with a smile and turn it off.

"Well, that went well, don't you think?" I ask and stand up.

"Who would you date if I allowed it?" Max asks crossing his arms as he stands up as well.

Kelley joins the conversation and nods at me to go on. I sigh and run a hand over my face.

"Jesus Christ, Max! None of them" I say and get ready to leave. "Nathalie Lotte Verstappen. Get back here" Max half shouted and I froze.

My full name. "What the hell are you middle naming me for?" I groan and turn back to face him.

"Answer me. Who would you date if I allowed it?" Max asked once again and walked closer to me.

He knew I lied before. "Max, please I wouldn't date a F1 driver, Rally drivers are my thing" I joke.

He sends me a really look. "So you're saying my boys aren't good enough for you?" Max asks and I drop my jaw to the floor.

"What? You just—what?" I say dumbfounded.

"You're the one always deciding who is good enough for me, and you're asking me that? That's not fair. It's a trick question" I say trying to save myself.

"It's not fair. I demand another one" I say and refer to the question.

"Alright, which F1 driver would you like me to invite for tomorrow nights dinner at our apartment?" Max asks and my eyes widen and my jaw drop even faster.

"What?!"

"Answer. You got a different question. You have to answer" Max said and smirked evilly.

He knew something. I looked at Kelley and tried to read her expression. But suddenly the floor was very interesting for her. That told me everything.

"Well, you can invite whoever you want, cause I'm not invited, so I'm not going" I say stubbornly and cross my arms.

"You're invited. Dinner night, tomorrow. At seven" Max noted and I glared at him.

"Seriously, no one Max" I say and let my arms fall in defeat, hoping to convince him.

"I need to go and meet Kai to check into my own room" I say and turn on my heel and walk towards the door. Max follows following me out.

"Alright, so we'll see you tomorrow night then" Max says and I turn around to protests but stop.

"Alright" I say in defeat.

"Good" Max says mockingly and I glare at him before stepping out of the door.

"So, that's Lando I'll be inviting. Great, see you there" Max shouts and slam the door in my face. I gasp and turn around and bang in the door only to hear the lock click.

"Max!! Open the door!" I shout.

"Kelley! You betrayed me! I'll never forget this" I shout and bang on the door one last time.

I scowl and go to Kai's room before we got down to the lobby and get checked in.
