Getaway Car

Chapter Fifteen

Katherine POV

"Katherine, please just open the door," Lando had been outside for about 30 minutes. He had none stop been blowing up my phone, but I didn't want to hear him.

I sat with my back up against the door Zander on my lap as I cried I swore to myself I would never cry over another man who would of thought I'd be crying over Lando Norris of all people.

"I just want to talk, Kat, please," I could have swore. I heard his voice break. I heard him slide down against the door.

"You can't avoid me forever," I can try. "We work together, we live in the same bulding for fuck sake, I just want to explain," I stand up my hand goes to the door "I'll leave you alone until your ready," he gets up walking away.

I wanted to open the door so bad and shout for him to come back, run into his arms, kiss him, but i didn't I stayed there with my hand in the door as he walked away.

I wasn't ready to hear his explanation. I was too scared that whatever it was would rip my heart out even more.

Fuck you Lando Norris, fuck you for making me fall in love with you.

Love

I was in love with him. How stupid could I be.

~~~~~

"You aren't staying in this room for another minute," Max says. "we are going out,"

"I don't want to go out,"

"And I don't want you moping about, but look here we are," I frown at him. "Go get dressed. We are meeting the others, a Jimmy Z."

"Others?"

"I didn't invite Lando I want to punch him as much as you probably do but I can't promise nobody else invited him that's why your going to go put on the sexiest dress you own and show him what he's missing,"

"I like the old Max, the one who didn't tell me what to do so much,"

"Old Max is dead, so hurry up," I let out a small laugh "hey your laughing progress,"

"You're dramatic," he shrugs, sitting down with Zander.

~~~~

"I don't think I can do it,"

"Yes, you can,"

"Max,"

"Katie," he stares me down.

"Fine fuck," he smiles and we walk in heading straight the bar I down my drink and order a second one Max looks around.

"Okay, so he's here,"

"Great,"

"He also might have seen us since he was pointing over here to Oscar,"

"Tell me you're joking," he shakes his head.

"But don't worry, I'm here he comes near us. I'll punch him," I smile.

"Oh, I know you will, but I think I'm scared of that bit,"

"Don't be. I have to go easy on him because he's also my best friend, but I'll still do it,'

"Is Harper here?"

"Yes, she's on the dance floor. You go to here. I'll cover you,"

"You're acting like I'm going to get shot,'

"Haha, go," I nod, making my way over to Harper.

"He got you to come," she says, hugging me.

"Yeah, he did,"

"Lando is here. I saw him," she adds

"I know Max told me he's making sure he stays away from me,"

"You know what's the most upsetting thing about this?"

"What?"

"You're in love with him, and he is in love with you," I look at her, "and it's a goddamn tragedy," she shouts over the music "because you look at him and see the sun and he looks at you and see the stars but you both think the other is looking at the ground,"

"If he was in love with me, why would he do what he did?"

"I don't know, maybe because he was scared you told me yourself. Lando Norris doesn't do relationships or feelings, and you made him forget about all of that," she holds my hand,"but let me tell you something he is missing out on one hell of a girl, you are the sweetest person I fucking know and I know you would of shown him love like he's never known its his own fault and his fucking loss,"

"I love you," I say, hugging her.

"I fucking love you," she hugs me back "Max is shit at his job because Lando is on his way over," I pull away form her turning around Lando was stood in front of me.

"Katherine,"

"I don't want to hear,"

"You might not want to, but I need to talk to you,"

"You said when I was ready, I'm not ready,"

"I lied. I don't care if you're ready or not,"

"Let me ask you one thing," he nods. "Did you kiss her?"

"Yes, but it wasn't like that,"

"I got all I needed now, stay away,"

"You don't mean that,"

"Oh, but I do, I don't want to see you or even talk to you again. Let's go back to last year hating each other," he shakes his head.

"But we don't hate each other,"

"Speak for yourself,"

"Kat, please," he reaches for my hand, but I pull it away.

"It's Katherine to you. I'll see you at Silverstone. I'm coming for my title," I push past him. Max walks over.

"I'm so sorry I needed a piss,"

"It's okay, I'm okay," I wasn't okay.
