THE ONLY ONE

✲ SIX ✲

april 14th, 2019

The Chinese race was over, with Lewis coming first, Bottas coming second and Sebastian coming third, and to celebrate, the drivers and their wags were going to go out for a nice dinner. The blonde was wearing a pair of baggy jeans with a white cropped top, a small handbag with her long hair in two braided plaits and simple, yet effective makeup that complimented her soft features and blue eyes. Lando had invited her, and she was meeting them at the restaurant. 

"Can't we just talk?" the blonde sang as she applied the finishing touches to her makeup, "can't we just talk? Figure out where we're goin'." 

There was a knock on the door and the blonde, looking confused, walked towards the door, opened it and saw Lando standing there.

"Lan?" she asked, shocked as he grinned. "What are you doing here?"

"I had to come pick you up," he said as she smiled, "would be rude if I didn't." She smiled and opened her hotel door wider.

"Come in," she said, "I'm almost ready." Lando smiled as he walked into the hotel room and shut the door behind her. She grabbed her boots and put them on as Lando smiled and saw the hundreds of papers on her bed.

"Writing something new?" he asked as she looked over and chuckled. 

"Trying to," she said chuckling as she gabbed her handbag. She looked at her outfit in the mirror and saw Lando looking at her. "I can see you staring." Lando quickly looked away as Emily laughed. 

"Shall we get going?" he asked, standing up as Emily smiled.

"We shall," she said smiling.

"So, Zak spoke to me after the race," Lando said as Emily looked over at him.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"He suggests we fake date," he said as she chuckled.

"Really?" she asked as he nodded.

"He asked if in the next couple weeks we can both sit down with him and our managers and see what he says," Lando said as Emily nodded.

"Yeah," she said as she looked at him, "I think we can work something out." Lando grinned as he smiled at her.

"Would you want to?" he asked as she smiled slightly.

"I would," she said, "I think it would work really well for both our careers, don't you?"

She didn't notice the slight disappointed look on Lando's face.

"Y-Yeah," he said, "I think so too."

The two arrived at the restaurant about half an hour after the others did.

"Finally!" Max yelled, laughing as the two walked in together, chatting.

"What took you guys so long?" Charles called as Emily sat down in between him and Alex's girlfriend, Lily. 

"We got lost," Lando said as he sat opposite the blonde. 

"And we were listening to High School Musical," the blonde added as she grinned at Lando. "Somebody had a soft spot for Troy Bolton." She looked up at Lando who went slightly pink.
