Dirty Air (Lando Norris)

Chapter 6: Selene

ONE MONTH LATER
MONTE CARLO, MONACO

"You've missed him" said Annie as she drove me to Lando's building. She was looking at me from the rear view.

"What?"

"You've missed him. I can tell" Annie teased me but she kept her "don't mess with me I'm going to break your neck" face on.

I shrugged my shoulders and let out a sigh.

"Maybe I do. But it's not what you think. It's just lust." I replied in defense as i avoided eye contact with Annie on the mirror.

"Okay, whatever you say." She smiled.

I won't pretend. I did miss Lando. It's the first time since Australia that we're seeing each other. He offered his Monaco flat for this week and in exchange he and Carlos rode with me to go to Spain. I wasn't sure what got into me that I agreed to stay in his flat. All boundaries were gone because he had undue advantage. From a purely transactional relationship, we've crossed a thin line to a more personal one.

Lando was not home when I arrived but he gave me his security code and he called the building administrator to let me in his flat. Annie and the guys did a security check of the building and the perimter and I got settled in. I did not bring much clothes. Chanel will send my outfits for the week tomorrow.

Just as I expected, his flat was filled with racing things. Simulators, helmets, trophies. There's so much clutter. He streamed his video games so he had a lot of stuff about that, too. He didn't make an effort to have the flat cleaned and arranged. I thought, "was he really this comfortable with me or he just doesn't care?"

As I explored my way through his flat, he's called me.

"Hey. Are you at the flat already?" He asked.

I scanned for the CCTV and figured he must have gotten a notification from his security system.

"Yes. Annie and the guys are doing the security check. Your flat is a mess. You did not even think of calling in the cleaners?"

"Well, to be honest, I thought you'd say no. I was gutted when you said yes." He laughed.

"Stop laughing. It's not funny." I said while laughing because Lando's laugh is contgious. His laughter makes the world a bit lighter, my world in particular.

"I'll be home in an hour. We can have dinner then sexy time." He teased me again.

"Lando, stop. People might hear you. Also, it better be a casual dinner. My clothes will not arrive until tomorrow. All I have is the dress I'm wearing and a lingerie."

"Lingerie? I like that."

"Stop. Okay, I'll see you later. Bye."

I was busy looking at his pictures from his karting days when I felt warm hands around my waist.

"You're snooping around" he whispered to my ear as he hugged me from behind.

"You were tiny. It must have been tough growing up. No wonder you didn't get the girls" i told him while holding his picture with his brother and one more guy.

I can smell he just got off a shower before heading home. He probably came from the gym.

"Tiny? Maybe I just developed late.
But yeah, if you've been racing since you were 4, not being in formal school most of the time and being around much larger kids made getting the girls, quite difficult" He tickled me and I squirmed. "Am I still tiny now?"he asked while holding my waist
