Find Me ~ Lando Norris

Lando Norris

This is not at all what I imagined about starting the season, I wasn't even close to thinking that this race was going to suck. I took off my helmet and unbuttoned my suit to my waist, I was really angry. How is it possible that with five laps to go the engine just stopped working? I don't think the new engineer has the skills for the job. I never felt comfortable with the car but everyone insisted that I should adapt. I will talk to Zak tomorrow to sort this out, I really feel I can't work with her, we have different ideas, different ways of evaluating a car. We certainly don't have the pace and chemistry to be a team. Last year I came second for the world championship and this year I am one of the favourites to win. I have to prioritise my race and I think with Leana Williams that will be impossible.
After taking a few minutes to rest I left my motorhome to fulfil my shitty obligations and went to the press conferences. I hate them, the journalists do nothing but ask you the same old questions and never see the progress I've made in all this time. Anyway, I only do it for the sponsors and so Charlotte isn't bugging me all the time, it's exhausting.
I packed my stuff in my suitcase and headed to the car park to start my car to the hotel. Charles had invited me to his party at the club to celebrate his win but I don't feel like dealing with the press, fans and stuff.
I arrived at my hotel room, dropped my bags on the floor and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. When I finished my shower I dried my body and wrapped a towel around my hips while I searched through my suitcase for some comfortable clothes to sleep in. Once I was changed, I called the hotel service to order food to the room.
My salad with my fruit juice arrived and I sat on the bed to eat while watching the replay of the race on TV. I still can't believe what happened. When I finished my dinner, I got up to throw the leftover rubbish in the trash can and my phone rang telling me I had a new message.

Luisa: Hey, where are you?
Lando: At the hotel, what's up?
Luisa: Aren't you coming to Charles' party?
Lando: No, I don't feel like going.
Luisa: please come, I want to talk to you.

Luisa and I have been together for a year, I like her and I love her but lately we haven't had the best days.
I didn't know what to do, I really want to see her but in our discussion in the morning she made it clear to me that she didn't want to go on like this. Maybe she got cold feet and wants to make things right.
I looked in my suitcase for a pair of black trousers and a white shirt to go to the club, I put on my perfume and went out to take the elevator.

When the doors opened my eyes were surprised to find Leana standing in the middle of the elevator with a dark orange dress that highlighted her skin, golden heels that slimmed her legs and a high ponytail that marked her jaw in an exquisite way. Our gazes met as the elevator door closed but I quickly put my hands out to stop the doors from closing completely. Once inside I stood beside her and could feel her sweet fragrance penetrate my nostrils. She looked, well?
