Getaway Car

Chapter Seven

Katherine POV

The knocking on my door wouldn't stop.

"I'm coming. God, give me a chance," I open the door to see none other than Lando Norris.

"What are you doing here?" I ask his eyes travelling over my body,"Lando?"

"We're supposed to be travelling to Australia together,"

"We are?"

"Yep, Marcus emailed the two of us," he moves me aside, entering my apartment, sitting down with Zander.

"Go get dressed. I'll wait here," I turn back into my bedroom, shutting the door. I was already packed. I just wasn't aware I would be flying today and not in a couple of days' time.

It didn't take long for me to get dressed. I walk out and see Lando on the floor, Zander attacking him, causing me to laugh.

"You're child is trying to attack me," he says, laughing in between licks.

"You get him, Zander," Lando picks him up, stroking his stomach.

"You're a big boy, Lando. You can handle him," he looks at me

"I am a big boy," he smirks at me. I push him onto the sofa.

"You always have to make things dirty,"

"I'm fine being down here. I have a good view," he winks.

"Are we going or not," he gets up, taking my suitcase, saying bye to Zander I follow suit, texting Harper that I was leaving, and to come get Zander after she finished work.

"Do you not read your emails?" He asks, putting my luggage into the car.

"Not really," we get in, and he begins to drive to the airport.

"Maybe you should start,"

"Aren't we supposed to come public with our relationship?" He nods.

"Yeah, I think they want us to do it on race day."

"Do what exactly?"

"No idea they're leaving that one up to us,"

"Katherine,"

"Katherine," my eyelids flutter open. My head was on Landos shoulder "sorry but I really need to piss," I move my head, getting up, and he rushes to the bathroom. I decided to stay standing so i didn't have to move for him again.

"You can have the window seat," I look at him.

"You sure?" He nods. I take my seat, and he takes his

"We've got a week until race weekend we've got to been seen together," I say, reading the email that they had just sent over.

"Fine with me," he rests his head on my shoulder. "Don't wake me till we land,"

I was scrolling through Instagram, coming across an article about Lando he was asleep, and I could hear him snoring. I clicked on it, and various pictures came up of him with different women, one woman popping up more than once Australian model Gabrielle Reed I hated the fact that I got jealous when I saw their pictures together.

Lando starts to stir, and I quickly swipe so that it is no longer on my phone.

"How long we got left?"

"About an hour," he nods, straightening up.

~~~~

"Sorry, what was that?" I ask the woman at the front desk.

"There was a mix-up you and Mr Norris will be sharing a room we had spoken to someone regarding this they said it would be fine," I close my eyes then nod, taking the keys.

"Slight issue," I say, walking towards Lando, who had the luggage.

"What is it?" I hold the key up.

"We have to share a room,"

"They mixed our booking up?" I nod.

"Apparently, they spoke to someone, and they said it was fine," he sighs.

"Marcus," he says. "Let's go,"

The room only had one bed. We both looked at each other.

"I'll take the couch," he puts his bag down. I shake my head.

"I'm not letting you sleep on the couch were both adults. I'm sure we can share the bed,"

"Anything to get into bed with me,"

"Don't make me regret it,"

"Are you tired?" He asks

"Nope,"

"Come on, get changed. I want to take you somewhere," he walks out of the room to the couch."Wear a bikini," he shouts. 

I didn't know what we was doing, but for some reason, I listened to him. I walk out to see he's got changed to.

"I've called us a taxi it should be arriving,"

The taxi arrived, and Lando told me to close my eyes the entire journey until he said to open.

"Okay, we're here. Keep them closed," I do as he says and hear his door opening and then mine "take my hand," his hand slips into mine and he helps me out the car.

"Where are we," we walk a couple of minutes, and he stops

"Open," I opened my eyes and saw we were at the beach it was empty.

"Lando," he shakes his head.

"You don't have to get in we can just lay down but I will be getting in and would like of you joined me," he walks closer to the water putting our stuff on one of the sunbeds.

"I promise to protect you," he makes a cross on his heart.

"I don't know,"

"I won't make you if you change your mind, you know where to find me," he takes his shirt off and I couldn't help but stare and then he runs down to the water. I look up at the sky, shaking my head and taking off my dress. Here goes nothing.

I walk over the water, touching my feet. Lando hadn't noticed me, yet he was under it. He came up and saw me. He smiled instantly. He swims up and then walks out over to me.

"You sure?" I nod my hands, shaking slightly.

He puts his hands on my waist. "Do you trust me?"

"In this situation, yes," his hands move to my thighs.

"Jump," I jump up, and he wraps my legs around his waist, his hands resting at the top of my thighs under my ass. My arms move around his neck.

"We'll go in slowly. Okay," I nod, and he starts to walk deeper into the water.

"You can swim, right?"

"Yeah, I can swim," he moved me, so I was on his back as he began to swim deeper into the sea.

"You okay," I hum.

Once he gets deeper, he moves me back onto his front, my legs tightly around him.

"See, it's not that bad," he was keeping us up. I removed my legs from his waist.

"Kat, what are you doing,"

"I think I can do it alone," he nods, and  I remove my hands from him and keep myself up, swimming around a bit and laughing.

"This isn't so bad," his hand meets mine as I swim around in circles, making sure I was safe and I was I felt safe and it was all because of him.
