Lando and I were laying in bed the next morning and I laid with my head on his bare chest. We had a heated making out session last night, but didn't take it further.

I look up at him and smile pleased with the sight. Lando looked so peaceful, yet so tired. He had flown in and arrived just as my race ended, so everything had gone pretty quick.

"Are you creeping on me or just sleeping with your eyes open?" Lando says with his eyes closed and I laugh.

"Shut up" I retort and sit up and turn to the edge of the bed, only to be pulled back into Lando's chest. "Don't go, you can creep on me all you want" Lando teases and I roll my eyes at him.

"You're rude" I comment and he laughs before pecking my lips.

As Lando steals small pecks on the lips, my phone rings.

I see Max name and groan, I show Lando and he throw himself back on the bed defeated. I laugh at his retreat and answer.

"Hey brother" I say with a small laugh.

"Hey, how did you like the surprise?" Max asks excitedly.

"What—you were in on it?" I ask surprised.

"Hell yes, I was. Why? Is Lando taking all the credit? I fixed the flight" Max says and I laugh.

"He didn't mention it" I say and Max scoffs.

"Of course, he didn't. You got seperate rooms right?" Max asks and my face falls in panic. Lando notices and leans closer to hear.

"Ehm, yeah of course" I say and laugh my nervousity off.

"Nathalie, why are you saying that in a high tone? Are you lying?" Max asks and Lando struggles with not laughing at my panicked face.

"No, No. Of course not" I say and Lando smirks, he starts leaving kisses on my shoulder, then up my neck and I clear my throat.

"But I will see you soon too right? You're bringing Kelley and P to Greece right?" I ask.

"Of course, we have already booked flights" Max says.

Lando put his hand on my collarbone and run his fingers down my chest until I stop him, he nips on my skin and I almost moan in the phone, but I stop myself.

"Good, Good. I need to go. Kai is here" I lie and hang up.

I turn to Lando and push him back. I straddle him and kiss him hungrily. I kiss down his neck and to his chest and he groans in pleasure.

I look back up at him and connect our lips.

"Now, let's go to breakfast" I say as I pull away and get out of the bed before Lando can register it.

"What? Now?" Lando asks and I pretend I don't see the bugle in his underwear.

"Yeah" I say and find a white pair of jeans and slip them on. I keep Lando's shirt on and then I freshen up my face and do my hair.

Lando takes a shower, which i'm assuming was a cold shower.

I liked the teasing game, but I was also just a little afraid that it was too soon.

Although it has been months with our flirting and kissing back and forth. I had sex before, but then it didn't mean anything. This was Lando.

The first man I might've ever been in love with.

I started overthinking and didn't notice Lando sneak up behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist from behind me and kissed my cheek.

"What are you thinking about?" Lando asks and look in the mirror. "Us" I admit with a blushing smile.

"Really? Any news?" He asks and I know what he wants to hear. "Hmm, not that I know of" I tease and Lando shakes his head. I saw his smile fall a little, but he covered it up.

"Let's go to breakfast then" Lando says and take my hand. I smile a little and follow him. I lock the door after me and we walk down hand in hand.

"What do you want to do today?" Lando asks. "Hmmm, I don't know, I just want to spend time with you" I say and shrug.

Lando smiles and flip his cap backwards, I have to stop myself from jumping him right here and now. I bite my lip as we stand in the elevator.

"Don't look at me like that" Lando says with a smirk. "Like what?" I ask and shrug.

"Like you're undressing me in your head" Lando retorts and backs me up against the wall.

"I did that the moment I woke up and saw you, now we're doing something else in my head" I say and the door bings and I walk out leaving Lando shocked.

"Wait!" Lando shouts and run up to me. "You little devil" Lando says and I laugh.

"Let's goooo" I say and pull him into the resturaent. We get our food and eat it quietly.

We decide to go to the beach afterwards and there we walk hand in hand, feet free in the sand, talking.

Lando had lots of questions about Jos. I was happy that he hadn't asked questions when I needed him the most, but now was the time to answer.

"As you probably put together, the crash last year was because I got a new contract for Redbull, they were promising me a spot in Formula 1 Rally Racing. Jos didn't take it well, he drove me off the track on purpose. I almost died" I say and Lando nods.

We sit down in the sand and he takes my hand.

"I remember screaming for help, for Max, anyone. Just screaming. I felt my bones break, I felt my spine almost giving up on me. The car was done. It was a miracle that I wasn't. I shouldn't have been here right now" I say and Lando squeeze my hand.

"My father didn't even visit me. He did interviews with the press to blame anyone else but him, he ruined my career and saved his. He portayed himself as the sorrow filled dad. He was the victim as I fought for my life" I say and Lando sighs.

"How is he still a free walking man?" Lando asks and I shrug. "We have everything we need to report him and send him away for good. But for some reason, neither Max, Victoria or I, seem to be able to do it" I say and sigh.

"I have to beat him. But there's something you need to know" I tell Lando and he scoots closer and wrap his arm around my shoulder and nods at me to go on.

"I fear he might try something on the last two races. He won't go out before trying to ruin my career, the question is just how he intends to do it" I say and Lando's face harden.

"Would he dare try something on the track?" Lando aks and I shrug. "He might" I say and frown.

"I will be there at the last two races" Lando says and I raise an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Is it possible with the schedules?" I ask.

"I know the next one in Greece is secure, but I have to figure out the last one" Lando says and I nod.

"Thank you" I say and lean my head on his shoulder. He leans down and kiss the top of my head.
