Monza - {Lando Norris}

Chapter 55

A couple weeks had passed as I walked along the garages with Yuki skipping beside me, the hot Bahrain air blowing into our faces every now and again, it was Friday evening and Pierre was too busy with his new girlfriend to hang out with me and Yuki who decided to venture out and go to a nightclub and get blinding drunk, the practice sessions went well for both the Alpha Tauri boys, I was happy for them but I knew myself that it was tomorrow's qualifying that mattered and then the race of course. I kept an eye on Lando during the session to check up on how he was finding the new car with all the new different parts that had to be changed due to this year's regulations, of course Max was the fastest in both sessions, the Red Bull looked to be speedily fast, almost unbeatable but I still have support in my three boys. Although me and Lando had strictly agreed to be friends only for the time being, I can't help but feel that he crossed his fingers behind his back, the constant flirting, booking things under 'Sofia Norris' Silly little things like that made my heart grow fonder and fonder of him by the day, if truth be told we shared one drunken kiss after the testing in Barcelona, I had never been there and I wanted to explore the city which ended up with us in a nightclub dancing our legs off, I remembered the kiss greatly, I'm not certain if Lando did however, he never mentioned anything off it since so I keep it to myself, I wouldn't mind having those lips on mine again "Sofia?? Are you even listening to anything I say?" Yuki's sassy tone fills my ears as he snaps his fingers in front of my face "Umm, yeah I was" I attempt to sound honest but it comes out sounding frail, I look around and notice that we're standing directly in front of Lando's garage, I swear I didn't do this on purpose. I watch as he talks to one of his engineers whose back is to us, his race suit hanging off his waist with his hair drenched off sweat, my eyes trail his hands as they move up to his face and ruffle through his hair "Yeah.. no" Yuki pulls me by the hand as we storm along until we reach the Alpha Tauri garage "I'm not standing there watching you get eye fucked by him. Either the pair of you grow up and tell each other you like... love... whatever the fuck is going on, I see the way he looks at you and I see the way you look at him. I can't see the problem as why you aren't back with him?" Yuki raises his eyebrows as we walk into the garage to see Pierre and his girlfriend fondling each other in front of all the mechanics, PDA much? "I think I'm scared honestly... scared that he might turn on me again just like he did in Singapore" Yuki leads me into his driver's room where his normal everyday clothes sit, awaiting for him to put them on "Talk to him then, you can't stay living in the past, I think he's willing to change, I already see a change in him. No more grumpy Lando if he has a bad day, no more cursing down the radio if something goes horribly wrong for him. He loves you" I know what Yuki is saying is all the truth but still something scares me from putting myself into a relationship with him again "I also know what you're thinking but the thing is, I could end up snapping at you... Pierre could end up snapping at you. We're drivers with high adrenaline, we say things we don't mean. I'm not agreeing with what he did but I feel like he's trying his best" I nod my head as I bite down on my bottom lip, Yuki throws himself onto the bed as I plop myself down onto the chair, Yuki lets a loud sigh out "Also probably the best time to drop the bomb... I'm going out tonight with a girl" i clench my hand over my heart in a dramatic manner "You're breaking up with me?!" Yuki laughs "Yeah, sorry it didn't work out. It's a double date with Pierre and his girlfriend" I smile at how happy Yuki seems over it "Well I hope it's fun... who am I going to go to the nightclub with now" I whine, devastated over the fact that I'll end up drinking the night away in my hotel room now compared to a night club, Yuki raises his eyebrows as he begins to get up off the bed "I know a certain someone but I'm saying nothing, now get out! I need to get super hot for my date" I shake my head at him attempting to act serious, I pull myself off the chair and begin to make my way to the door "Don't forget to wear that aftershave that Pierre likes, I wish you and him the best" A pillow gets thrown at my head for the silly joke of him and Pierre being together, I let the door slam behind me as I make my way out of the garage and begin my walk up the pit lane back to the car park, lonely night it is for me.

"Sofia!!!... Wait!!!" As I walk towards my car ready to get back to the hotel and stripped of these clothes stuck to me, I hear feet slapping the ground and my name being called, I turn to see a fast running Lando Norris running towards me, he slows himself down as he approaches me "Woah.. you walk fast" He catches his breath as he leans up against the car "What are you doing tonight?" I knew Lando would want to hang out at some point this weekend, we were to trying to stay away from each other in the public eye for the time being, as I predicted the fans have speculated themselves and both my comments and DM's are full of hate for apparently cheating on Lando with Pierre, I had thought about putting a post up to tell them that me and Pierre are just friends but people are going to think whatever they want, like when I say I had thousands of Lando fan girls commenting 'You broke his heart you ugly bitch!' 'I'm going to find Lando and make him forget you' 'Yes! Now I can have Lando to myself' Literally thousands of comments like that, they angered me at the start until I sat down with Yuki and we talked about them, we ended up bent overing struggling to breath from how much we laughed at them, it was such a strange concept for when I looked at Lando's comments 'Hope you're ok' 'Sending you so much love' 'Please notice me Lando' 'Forget her Lando, she's a cheater, you deserve so much better' Not one ounce of hate was sent his way, it was directed to me, it made me want to climb into a hole and never come out again. I mean at the end of the day I hang out more with Yuki then I would Pierre and some how it was Pierre that I've cheated on? Made no sense to me but let's just forget about that now. I stare at the beautiful Belgian-British man standing in front of me with his hands in his pockets "I was meant to be going out until Yuki ditched me for another girl" Lando knows about my friendship with Yuki so there's no jealousy towards that, no silly comments on how he doesn't want me hanging out with him "That sucks, I would never do that to you" Lando smiles and shows off his dimples "Yeah yeah. I think I'm just gonna go back to the hotel and drink my body weight in wine, probably take a bath or something along them lines" He nods his head and god, I never knew someone could look so seductive doing something as simple like nodding their head, I tear my gaze off him and up to the nearing dark sky rolling in as stars begin to flood in "What about you?" He licks his bottom lip as he stares at my bare chest, I obviously went for a cute dress today, far too warm for anything else "I was planning on going out with a couple of ones but now I have more important plans" His gaze never leaves my chest, I feel red flush overwhelming my skin as I nervously shuffle on my feet, my hand hanging on the car door handle "Oh. I'll let you get to your important plans then. If I don't see you before qualifying tomorrow, good luck" I give him a brief smile as I begin to pull open the door. I attempt to slide into the car but suddenly my back is against the car as my face is being held, his hot breath fanning my face as he stares deeply into my eyes "Why are you playing so hard?"
