hidden desires |lando norris|

when the two were greeted at the entrance of the of the club there was silence between them, almost an acknowledgment that the other wasn't going to spend much time around them tonight.

as they were guided up a floor to the private section of the club, where there was noticeably less space and the dj set at the front of it all, lando had his hand on willows lower back just above her skirt on her bare skin. the contact was enough to cause a burning sensation on her back and in that moment she wished she had kept her jacket on and not given it to the man currently leading the way to a table near to the dj booth.

on the table already was blair, one of blair's friends kendall and two boys she didn't recognise. as soon as the server was gone zara left landos side and went straight to hug blair, the burning staying in place for a few moments.

"i haven't seen you in weeks! i've missed you!"
the brunette voiced, louder than usual as to be heard over the loud music and the many people around them
"ugh i've missed you too! it's not the same doing shows without you"
the blonde woman said letting go of her friend and allowing the taller of the three hug the singer
"zara how have you been, it's great to see you again"
kendall started the two not holding the hug as long as the other one
"i've been good, what about you? i've been seeing you everywhere and may i say you look stunning tonight"
zara had hung out with kendall quite a few times and would consider her as a good friend, she only really saw her nowadays when visiting blair so it was nice to see her tonight,
"thank you, you look gorg yourself and i've not been too bad, but anyway who's that?"
kendall asked pointing towards lando who was with the other two boys at the table, smirking at the girl in front of her
"i've seen an article or two about you two"
she finished, waving over the waiter with a tray of drinks, each girl taking one before he walked away again
"oh that's lando, we met a few weeks ago"
zara told the tall girl in front of her knowing blair knew she was lying.

"hey your zara willows right?"
one of the boys that lando had been talking to came up behind the girl causing her to turn around and face him
"yep that would be me"
she confirmed giving the man in front of her a small smile. he was dressed in a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans much like lando in his white t-shirt and blue jeans
"well i'm max (fewtrell) one of landos friends"
now this is where she thought her acting skills would need to come into play until she heard his next sentence
"don't worry i know it's fake, i just  came to ask if you wanted to dance?"
the girl was surprised to say the least and she was only one drink into the night but why not, she came here to let loose anyway.
"uh yeah let me just grab another drink"
she said turning back to the table that the two other girls had moved to sit down at, grabbing two shots and having both before turning back to max and going to the dance floor with him. she was a massive lightweight so she knew that was enough to get her a bit over tipsy, if your counting the other drink she had previously.

"are you not jealous?"
carlos said to his friend as they watched max and zara dance together laughing at something she had said
"no, i know it's nothing to be worried about, max wouldn't do that and it's nice they get along"
lando smiled at his friend trying to play it off as if he were happy for them, he was a bit annoyed at max though, after telling him it's fake he didn't expect the man to try and make moves on her and he needed to make sure people in the club believed that they were together
"well i'd be careful mate, she's very pretty i wouldn't be surprised if he did, or maybe i will"
the older man said with a a chuckle winking at lando, who just rolled his eyes and pushed carlos' shoulder
"i'm gonna go and get a drink you want one?"
lando asked his friend who shook his head

as lando was stood at the bar drink in hand he looked at the people on the dance floor, silently searching for his supposed girlfriend and his best friend, who he found in a matter of seconds. max was stood in front of the girl holding her hand as he spun her round causing both to burst out in laughter. landos jaw was clenched as he downed the rest of his drink and put the glass on the bar, walking towards the two.
