Off Limits ~Lando Norris~

~one last try~

The group were off sailing towards Italy. Sofia had stayed in her room the past couple of days, only appearing every so often to get food or a drink. Carlos was worried about his sister but wanted to give her a chance to relax. He knows that she will speak to him when she's ready.

Sofia lay on her bed scrolling through tiktok, when an edit of her and Lando came up on her for you page. Usually she would skip anything like this, but for some reason, she watched it. She saw small clips of all the fun they had together since the start of the season. She saw the way she looked at him. The way he looked at her. She could feel the tears threatening to spill from her eyes as she finished the video. Locking her phone, she lay back on the bed, letting the tears fall. Why was she so bothered? They weren't together so why is she so angry at him for kissing someone else. He promised he would wait. looks like he got pretty bored of that. She knew she couldn't let this ruin her holiday, as they would be in italy soon, which was one of her favourite places.

Standing up, she put on a bikini and some denim shorts and made her way up to the kitchen. Most people were out on the deck enjoying the sun, except for Pierre. He looked up from the pan he was stood near when she entered the room.
"Hey Sof"
"hey pierre" she said reaching into the cupboard to find something to eat.
"i'm making eggs on toast, want any?"
Pierre said when he saw her rooting through the cupboards
"yeah if you don't mind, that would be great"
he nodded and cracked a couple more eggs into the pan. Sofia sat down at the table.
Without turning around Pierre just said "go on"
sofia was confused
"huh?"
"your eyes are red, meaning you've been crying. so talk to me"
"it's ok pierre"
"it's not. your on holiday and i want you to have fun." he turned away from the eggs and sat next to her "you can talk to me"
"i don't know what to do pierre. i'm literally moping over a boy. not very girlboss of me"
they both laughed over the last part.
"well then go out there and have the best time in the sun. don't even look in his direction"
"yeah i guess, also you might wanna check the eggs"
"shit" he exclaimed as he jumped up to the pan. he sorted them and out them on plates with the toast, before walking back to the table.
"i tell you what, we eat this and then me and you are gonna run out there and just jump off the side of the boat"
"why?"
he shrugged his shoulders "it's exciting!"
"fine"

The finished eating then had time to rest as the didn't want to swim just after eating. Sofia took of her denim shorts to leave her in her bikini while pierre took off his shirt. They then braced themselves before sprinting out of the kitchen and onto the deck before running to the end of the boat and jumping as high and as far as they could. They both let out a scream before they landed in the water. The others were so confused as to what had just happened and ran to the edge to see them emerge from the surface of the water. Carlos' smile lit up when he saw his sister there, smiling and laughing, as did most peoples. A few people joined them in the water. Sofia eventually decided to get out and sunbathe. Carlos hugged her when she got back on the boat.
"nice to see you back out here and smiling" he said
"well i can't let one person ruin my holiday, where is he by the way?"
"he's done pretty much the same as you, stayed in his room apart from food and drink"
She felt bad but at the same time she didn't.
"i'll go talk to him" she said after thinking
"really?"
carlos was shocked
"yeah. as much as he was a dick, his holiday shouldn't be ruined"
"you sweet aren't you"
"you know it" she said playfully winking at her brother before walking off

When she got outside his room, she let out a breath to calm herself down, before knocking on the door. When Lando opened the door, his eyes widened.
"Hi" she said after moments of silence
"hey...umm......come in"
She walked in and Lando sat on the edge of his bed, patting the spot next to him, indicating for her to sit down. She reluctantly did.
"so i hear you've not really left your room the last couple days" she said
"i can say the same about you"
"i've been really upset Lando, i thought we were going somewhere"
"so did i Sof"
"then why would you kiss someone else?"
"i was drunk"
"that's no excuse. you were sober enough to argue with me and bring up my mental space"
"i know and what i said was so wrong. please just give me a chance to prove to you that your the one i want. that i'll wait for you"
she sighed. she didn't want to let him in this easily. she knew she had to stand her ground. but at the same time, she wanted him. so bad.  she eventually spoke up.
"i'll give you one last try, but you have to work for it. it's not all forgive and forget. you need to prove to me that what your saying isn't all just lies"
he looked at her and they made eye contact
"i will do that. i will prove to you that i'm here and not going anywhere. i promise"
they both let out a small smile.
"i don't normally give people second chances. you've got a chokehold on me norris"
"yeah well you've got me absolutely smitten sainz"
they both have each other a small smile.
"can i give you a hug?" he asked
"yeah"
and with that they wrapped their arms around each other, feeling happy that they had the warmth back that they had craved so much over the previous couple of days.

When they both walked out onto the main deck, talking with each other, everyone else sent smiles to each other, happy they were getting back on track. Since the moment she walked into that paddock in Bahrain, for the first time in a couple of years, people had noticed the interactions between the two, and how inseparable they came. They knew they were meant for each other. It would just take time
