This was our first big fight since we got together. It's not normal for Lando to get jealous but with Patrick, he seemed irked.

"So you will give me the silent treatment for the rest of the night?" i asked him in almost a whisper.

"I'm just not in the mood" he replied before he took another glass of gin and tonic. Lando did not speak to me throughout the event. It did not annoy me as much as it would have if it's for a different reason. I knew we needed to talk about this when he's sober. He's not even supposed to go drinking tonight because it was FP3 and quali the next day.

While in the car, he still did not speak to me.

"So...we're still not talking, Lando?"

...

Nothing.

"Fine." So I tapped on the front seat to get Annie's attention.

"Annie, get my things from the hotel and find me a different hotel for tonight. We're leaving for London tomorrow."

Lando still did not say anything. He's obviously a bit drunk so that's another problem. He's a lightweight. When we got into our suite he finally broke his silence.

"Fuck, Selene. Argh!"He said with gritted teeth. "Fine. Go."
I gave him the dagger look because clearly we need to work on communicating how we felt. Lando's temper was really something I needed to get used to. Well, we both have a temper.

"You won't talk to me about what's upset you. I am not spending the night or this weekend trying to guess what's making you mad. Let's talk when you're sober and sane"

"Argh. Fuck!" He screamed as he slumped into the bed.

****
I left the hotel and flew home to London the following morning. Of course, I still watched quali and he did poorly. He qualified 15th. I can imagine how frustrated he was and still no message whatsoever from him.

The race was even worse, he crashed with 15 laps to go. DNF.

I wasn't expecting him to follow me to London—but he did

I wasn't expecting him to follow me to London—but he did. Lando's always been impulsive.

He opened the door to our room and i just stared at him

"So, are you ready to talk now?" I asked with eyebrows raised.

"No." In his very stubborn tone.

"Then why are you here?"

"I don't know."

"Lando...come on." I said frustrated with him.

"I don't know, Selene. I don't know." He looked at me looking frustrated as well.

"Really? Are we going to fight again? Because if you want to fight then just leave because I don't have the energy right now." I told him in the calmest tone even if i was so frustrated with him
