Sold out || A Lando Norris Fanfiction

ELEVEN

"I'm sorry to interrupt your morning," Ava says through the phone as we're driving to the airport. "But I've got a proposition for you. I know you'd like to stay in Monaco for the Grand Prix. I think we can make that work."

I can feel my heart beating faster, a bit of excitement building in my body. I had been bugging her about this a bit over WhatsApp for the past few days but she didn't think it was possible so far. "Really? How? I thought I had some kind of interview on Sunday."

"Well we can fly out Monday morning do the interview right then, and then you stay in Italy until the third. We will either take a train or fly from Rome to Milan. But I think we can make it work." Ava suggest, I can do nothing but smile.

"Thanks Ava, that sounds amazing." I say hanging up as we pull into the part of the airport where Max's plane is already waiting for us.

Max is in the car with me and Lando, Charlotte and Charles joining later as they are taking a different taxi there.

"You seem happy." Max points out as I put the phone away.

"I am, Ava arranged that I could fly out Monday morning rather than Sunday. Which means I get to experience a whole Monaco weekend." I am still smiling from the incredible news I just got.

"That's amazing." Lando says matching my smile as he wraps his arm around my shoulders, placing a small kiss on the side of my head.

"I'm definitely gonna make sure you party with us then." Max states climbing the stairs to his plane. I swear Max's mind is two things: racing and partying. 

"As long as you make sure I'm not too drunk by the end of the night, so I'm somewhat capable of performing on Monday. Then yes I'll join you." I state, taking a seat.

We don't have to wait long before Charlotte and Charles appear at the airport. "Walk of shame!" I yell as the two of them walk onto the plane both heads turning red immediately. "If me having to drop Charlottes suitcase off this morning wasn't enough prove. Your faces are now very much confirming my thoughts." I state, taking a seat next to Charlotte letting the three boys sit together.

We soon take off for the short flight to Monaco, that'll give me just enough time to hear Charlotte out. "I thought I saw you two arguing last night." I tell her, she immediately looks down, searching for a way to respond.

"We were, I was telling him that I needed more than just sex. And it's true. I don't want to go and see him if we're just going to have sex. I can't do casual. I'd rather be just friends." She whispers, trying to stay out of hearing distance. "Somehow I pressed the wrong buttons but he did tell me he still loved me, but he didn't want to date anymore. It's all because he saw how much being alone was hurting me. And somehow what he said hit all the right points and that is pretty much how I ended up in his room. Still not sure what we are or where this is going. And it's freaking hurting me." She say, tears pricking in her eyes. I wrap my arms around her, trying to comfort her a bit.

Lando looks at me for some explanation, but I just mouth at him that I'll explain it later. "You'll figure it out." I tell her soothingly. They will figure it out, but the mess they dug theirselves into is gonna need a lot of untangling. 

Arriving at the Nice airport, we all split up. Kelly being there to pick up Max, Charles getting into his own car and Lando and I driving Charlotte home. Charlotte still seemed a little shaken, not sure what to do with herself. I had sent Lando a text that he shouldn't bring up Charles to Charlotte, and he kept true to that. Making small talk until we stop at her apartment, the both of us giving her a hug before saying goodbye. 

"So are you actually planning on telling me what's wrong with them?" Lando asks as he drives towards what seems to be my apartment. 

"It's one big mess." I chuckle. "They slept together."
