hidden desires |lando norris|

it was wednesday afternoon and lando had just come back from his training session, when he got into his apartment he immediately got into the shower. that's one thing lando would always take advantage of, cold showers whenever he had a lot on his mind, today it happened to be where he was going to take zara.
he only had about an hour or two before they would be going out on their first date for the stunt and he wasn't sure where they should go, there was always his favourite restaurant but he felt as that wasn't really the sort of restaurant that Charlotte had in mind for their date.
maybe something a bit fancier would be appropriate, why was he even thinking this much about it? It's a date for his pr team, it shouldn't be on his mind as much as it had been. maybe he just really wanted this to go smoothly because his seats on the line?it had nothing to do with willows obviously, she was a shallow woman who only cared about herself and her fame and he had no interest in actually getting to know her. he was just doing this for his career.

--

he had decided that they were going to go to Clos Maggiore, quite a public little restaurant just off the main road, he had gone once with his sister and thought the place was beautiful, it was quite a floral setting and the restaurant was perfect for the occasion.

he was ready by 18:47 and was getting his wallet and phone heading towards his car, when lando was in his drivers seat he took his phone out and opened charlottes contact

zara was just finishing up on her hair and was looking for where she had put her shoes. she was dressed in a tight black dress that ended mid thigh, she was putting on her black and gold ysl heels and grabbed the matching black and gold ysl purse. she had some thick small gold hoops in and her hair was in a low bun with two curls framing her face. just as she was about to sit down on the edge of her bed, her phone pinged with a message from lando

zara grabbed her keys and left her apartment.
when outside she saw landos orange mclaren, well it was hard to miss, and saw lando sitting in the drivers seat.
he was in black trousers with a black button up shirt that was rolled to his elbows and had the top couple buttons undone. she had to admit he looked pretty good, maybe this whole thing wouldn't be so bad.
