Monza - {Lando Norris}

Chapter 29

We spend around 20 more minutes in the water just messing around, mostly just me splashing Lando with the water and him diving underneath the water. We drag ourselves out of the warm water and back to where our towels are sitting, Lando throws himself down whereas I take a more gentle approach and sit down again, we sit in silence for a while just listening to the nature around us and the other people on the beach having fun themselves, Lando has put on his bucket hat along with his sunglasses and lies peacefully as his chest moves up and down in a calm rhythm. I lie down also as the sun blazes onto my skin and begins to dry the water from my body "Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?" Lando's tired voice fills the silence surrounding us "I think I know a good place to go" He pulls himself up slightly and looks over towards me as I stay laying down "Yeah, that sounds fun!" I exclaim as Lando looks at his watch and begins to sit up properly "Let's go now, didn't realise we were here for 3 hours" He laughs as he begins to pack up his stuff into the bag "Give me your towel" I jump up and begin to shake the towel off before quickly drying myself off and folding it, Lando takes it from my hands before doing the same with his, we both slip on our flip flops at the same time and begin to walk back to the steps, as we walk we see other guests having the time of their lives drinking and just messing around with their family and friends. It reminds me that I completely forgot to go see my parent's when I was in London, I feel awful about it, I'll go back to London after we leave here.  We both make our way back to the resort just making small talk about what we plan to do for the next couple days, Lando suggested going snorkelling or going on a hike, I agreed with him and that we would see what would happen, if I'm honest I would love to just lie on the beach for the rest of the holiday and get a good tan but that would be a waste of a holiday so suppose we may do something fun whilst we're here. We arrive back at the door and Lando digs through his bag in an attempt to find the key, he digs around for a couple of minutes and the thought of him losing the key already is running through my head, I probably should keep the key, that would make more sense. After what feels like a lifetime of standing outside Lando finally finds the key "That would have been awkward if I lost the key that earlier" He laughs awkwardly as he puts the key into the door and unlocks it, he holds it open and lets me walk in first before walking in himself and locking the door behind him "Right, go get ready, it's 6:15pm right now, would 7pm be ok for you to leave?" I quickly glance at myself in the mirror that's in the living room and take in my appearance, my hair looks fine so all I really have to do is take a quick shower, do my makeup and get dresses, probably the hardest thing being what will I wear? "Think that should be good, what will I wear?" Lando sets the bag down onto the kitchen counter setting the key beside it "Umm, just wear something nice" He fumbles around with his fingers as he looks awkwardly at me before walking away and into his room, have I done something wrong? He's been somewhat quiet with me since we got out of the water at the beach. I push them thoughts to the back of my mind and make my way into my room and swiftly hopping into the shower to get rid of the smell of the beach, I scrub at my skin with my exfoliate scrub before getting out and rubbing moisturiser all over my body, I fix my hair into a better bun before going out the room and grabbing all my makeup before bringing it all back into the bathroom. I opt for a natural look as I don't want to go too overboard as I'm not too sure what I'm wearing yet, once my makeup is done I spray my setting spray all over my face but pulling my hair out of the bun, I run a bun through it and see that it has perfect little waves so I leave it at that. I throw the dressing gown around my nude body and walk out into the bedroom again where I bend down and begin to dig through my suitcase "Are you going to hurry up? I've been ready for 20 minutes" The voice causes me to jump and I look up to see Lando spread out across the bed, he looks incredibly handsome wearing blacks jeans with a white buttoned shirt, he's left a couple buttons open and I can't stop staring at him as he sits and scrolls through his phone "Close your mouth love, you'll begin to drool if you keep staring at me" He cockily says as I take my attention from him and back to my suitcase where I pull out the perfect dress. I go back into the bathroom and quickly throw it on before walking back into the room and grabbing a pair of white wedges and slipping them onto my feet, Lando pays me no attention as I scurry around the room, I add some jewellery to accessory the outfit before quickly fixing my hair and grabbing my handbag which I slip my phone into along with some spare lipstick in case it's needed "Right Lando, I'm ready" He jumps off the bed and walks straight to the living room without giving me a second glance.  

We arrive to the restaurant and we're led to our seats by a lovely waiter, we luckily got seats that overlook the beach that we were on earlier and I can still spot people running in and out of the water as they scream with happiness, Lando looks nervously around the restaurant before turning his attention to the menu which he begins to scan through, I also begin to scan through the menu but Lando acting like this is really starting to dig at me "Are you ok?" I break the silence as he looks up at me and his eyes flash an emotion that I can't put my finger on "Yeah, all good. Just starving" Once again he nervously laughs and I can feel the anger brewing in my body as he clearly lies to me, I pay no attention to it however as I don't want to cause a scene in this restaurant and I want to have a good first night here.  The waiter quickly comes back and takes our orders, I go for the Caesar salad whereas Lando goes for a steak with a side of chips, for a drink I order a glass of red wine and Lando goes for a beer along with a jug of water for us both, the waiter tells us that there might be a slight wait on the food as they're busy but just to call him over if we would like some more drinks, the waiter leaves and our table goes back to being silent as I look over to the beach where the sun is nearly fully set and the lights outside the restaurant are brightening my view up, Lando continues to type on his phone but he holds it underneath the table so I can't see what he's getting up too, I mentally sigh at the awkwardness between us both and I feel as if the whole restaurant can sense it too as people begin to notice Lando and begin to point over to us both. Our drinks arrive swiftly as the waiter sets them down on the table along with our knives and forks, we both thank him before he walks off again, I quickly take a sip of my wine as Lando takes a gulp of his beer leaving half of it in the glass once he sets it back down, he looks out to the view as he nervously fumbles with the bracelets on his arm "Are you sure you're ok? You've been acting strange ever since we got back to the resort" He now moves on to fumbling with the knife and fork sitting in front of him "Yeah, I'm all good I said" He gently says and I leave it at that as we both go back to looking at the view as a million thoughts run through my head. Our food doesn't take as long as what I thought it would take as it's quickly set down in front of me and we both say thanks once more to the waiter and begin to dig in, halfway through our meal the waiter comes over with a full bottle of red wine and sets it down onto the table smiling "Um sorry I didn't order that" He begins to remove the cork from the bottle as he continues smiling "Yes, that young gentleman over there ordered it for you" The waiter points his arm over towards the bar where I see a smiling Yuki and a smirking Pierre, Lando also turns to see who it was and he has a face of thunder on him when he turns back around, he mutters something that I couldn't quite hear as the waiter walks away and we finish the rest of our meal in an awkward silence, I finish the bottle of wine by myself as Lando declined the offer of having some as he sits and looks out to the view with what looks like murderous thoughts going through his head as he glances back to Pierre every now and again, Lando said he would pay for it as he gets up and walks away from the table as I finish the remaining sip of red wine in my glass, I'm somewhat tipsy but I'm sure I can make out the figure of Pierre walking towards me before sitting down in Lando's chair "You ok sweetheart, you look gorgeous tonight"
