Number 4| Lando Norris|

Chapter Four

Lando's POV:
The minute Y/N leaves with Pierre the atmosphere around the table changes. Carlos is seething next to me clearly trying to control his temper.
"I can't believe that just happened." Charles says breaking the awkward silence that fell upon the table.
"This is so irresponsible of her." Carlos seethes continuing."I mean after the other night."  My mind wanders back to a couple weeks ago when that man just grabbed her in the club. Then my mind floods with the image of Pierre leaning down to talk to Y/N. I feel a pang of jealousy in my chest, which surprises me, why do I care who talks to Y/N. I decide that to brush off the jealously and focus on Carlos and Charles. We sit through dinner for about thirty more minutes before paying as we're walking back through the hotel lobby suddenly Carlos stops.
"I think I know what club they've gone to. I'm gonna go grab Y/N anyone want to come?" Charles shakes his head and I agree to go with Carlos. As Charles heads back up to his room he wishes us good luck. It's a short walk to the club and when we get in there it reeks of alcohol and smoke. We split up looking for Y/N, Max, or Pierre. Suddenly I see Y/N just dancing in the crowd with a drink in her hand. I quickly rush over to her while trying to grab her attention. When she finally turns to me she pulls me into a hug.
"Oh my god hi Lando!" She says clearly drunk out of her mind. "What are you doing here?"
"Your brother and I came to come get you." I explain as gently as I can while taking the drink out of her hand and setting it down.
"Oh well I'm okay." I just shake my head at her response.
"C'mon" I say leading her towards the exit of the club. As I look around the club for Pierre and Max I notice that many men in the club are staring at Y/N. I wrap my arm around her hoping that the guys will stop looking at her. We're almost at the exit when I see Carlos with Pierre and Max following behind him. I quickly move my arm from his sister who is already walking over to him. Y/N runs and hugs her brother who looks shocked.
"Y/N? Are you drunk?" He asks hugging her back.
"Maybe a little bit." She smiles swaying a bit as he lets go. Carlos turns to Pierre and Max who are much more sober than Y/N.
"You guys just left her alone?"
"She said she was going to use the restroom." Pierre tries to explain.
"I did but then I got a little lost on my way back." Y/N chirps before stumbling towards the exit. I grab her arm and pull her back to me before she gets too far.
"Alright let's go." Carlos says as he walks towards the exit with everyone else following him. When we get outside I notice that Y/N is shivering a bit. I take my jacket off and help her put it on.
"Thank you Lando." She says softly.
"You're welcome." I say rubbing her back softly. After about five minutes Y/N tries to catch up with her brother but keeps stumbling, eventually he slows down a bit and she's able to catch up with him.
"Are you mad at me?" She asks quietly. Carlos just looks at her before shaking his head. When we finally reach the hotel Carlos leads Y/N to the elevator and the rest of us just follow behind them. The silence in the elevator is loud, when we finally reach the floor that all of the drivers are staying on. Pierre and Max head to their rooms which are the opposite way down the hallway of Carlos, Y/N, and my rooms. My room is a few before both of theirs.
"This is my room. Goodnight guys!" I say while finding my keycard in my pocket. They both say goodnight before continuing down the hallway.
Time Skip:
Y/N's POV:
Later that night Carlos was rushed to the hospital due to appendicitis. He had a surgery and to his disappointment is unable to race in the race tomorrow. However he is planning on being in the paddock for the race. Somehow he managed to convince me to leave the hospital to go and watch qualifying. I sigh in the Ferrari garage as Q1 finishes up. Ollie Bearman comes back into the garage, he is doing amazing given that this is his first time racing in formula one instead of F2.
"Good job Ollie!" I say as he passes me to talk to his race engineer. He turns around quickly, flashing me a smile.
"Thank you!" He beams before turning around.
Looking around the Ferrari garage I quickly decide to wander around the pit lane while everyone is out of their cars. I look around and find all of the drivers and teams are discussing strategies for Q2. My eyes stop on a pair of familiar greenish blue eyes. I smile walking over to him.
"The car seems to be a lot better this year." I say as I walk up to him.
"It's great, the team worked really hard to improve the car." He says clearly very happy. We stand there talking until it's time for Q2 to start. Once qualifying is over I head back to the hospital to visit my brother only to find out that he is getting ready to leave. I help him gather his stuff before we go back to the hotel. On the drive back I tell him all about qualifying. Overall I felt it was a good day for Ferrari and my brother seemed to be very impressed with Ollie. I walk him to his hotel room and help him get settled before walking back to my room. For about an hour I watch TV before getting bored. I decide that I should explore the hotel and see if anyone is up to anything.
As I exit my hotel room I notice Lando is a little further down the hall heading towards the elevator.
"Lando!" I call causing him to turn and wait for me.
"You look pretty. Where are you off to?" He says, his compliment shocking me. He's never said anything like that to me before.
"Thank you, I was just going to go and see what people are doing. What about you?" I ask taking in his outfit. A T-shirt and jeans, I've always found Lando attractive but I learnt quickly how to repress that feeling since he is such a good friend of my brother.
"I was just going to head down to the hotel bar. Care to join me?" He asks softly, I think for a moment before responding.
"I'd love to." I say before remembering. "Wait before we go I still have your jacket, let me go grab it quickly." He nods waiting in the hallway as I run into my room, quickly grabbing his jacket. Coming back out into the hallway I hand him his jacket as we start walking towards the elevator. When we get to the hotel bar, I notice how busy it is. I look over at Lando ,concernedly, who is looking at me.
"How about we order room service and watch a movie instead." He suggests continuing to look around the bar.
"That sounds like a plan." I say following him back up to his hotel room.
We quickly order room service before putting on a movie. He goes to sit on his bed motioning for me to join him. I sit on the edge of Lando's bed not wanting to overstep my boundaries.
"How is Carlos doing?" He asks me softly as he flicks through the TV channels trying to find a movie.
"He's doing better. Obviously he's in a lot of pain but he is pushing through." I tell him.
"I'm glad he's doing better." Lando says as he starts a movie. We watch the movie until suddenly someone is knocking on the door. I jump up and open the door, it's our food which I take from the hotel employee thanking him. When Lando sees that I'm carrying the food he jumps up from the bed and grabs the plates from me taking them over to the table and sitting down in one of the chairs, putting my plate down next to the other chair. I walk over sitting down in the chair and picking up my fork to start eating. Once we've finished eating Lando gets back up to return to his seat on his bed and I follow sitting down where I was before. I look over at him as he continues to watch the movie, I allow myself to admire his side-profile. I'd never really allowed myself to see Lando in a romantic way, but it was becoming harder and harder to ignore his kind nature and clear good looks. All of a sudden he looks over at me, he smiles when he notices me looking at him. I look away blushing when we make eye contact. Leaning back against the headboard I try to pull my attention back to the film but suddenly I feel Lando's arm around me. Oh. It never would have occurred to me that Lando could be attracted to me. I always just assumed he saw me as his best friend's little sister, maybe even like close friend. I scoot slightly closer to him. We sit like that until the movie is over. I check my phone.
"It's late. I should head back to my room." I say before reluctantly leaving his embrace and standing up.
"Alright Y/N. Goodnight." He says getting up to give me a hug.
"Night Lando." I say before heading back into the hallway, back to my room.
The Next Day:
Before I know it, the sun is rising and my brother is banging on my hotel room door.
"It's time to go." He says sounding slightly muffled due to the door being between us. I huff as I open the door.
"I'm ready. Chill." I say before following him towards the elevators. Once we arrive at the race I feel my brother's anxiety rise. I follow him through the paddock back to the Ferrari garage. In no time the race has begun, I'm watching the TV in the garage as usual except this time my brother is with me. We both watch the race intently. My brother is quick to finish with the press before we return to the hotel. As we're in the elevator my brother suddenly brings up an unexpected topic.
"Where were you last night?" He asks, looking at me suspiciously.
"Umm....well I was watching a movie in Lando's room with him." I reply honestly bracing for my brothers reaction.
"Oh...did he make you uncomfortable at all? If he did just tell me and-" I cut him off before he can finish his sentence.
"No no I was comfortable. Don't worry." I say reassuring my brother as we exit the elevator. I head back to my room, watching tv until I fall asleep.
