Broken arrows

29.

We both walked back to Lando's hotel where Max said he was.
He told Lando to meet him at the bar of the hotel and as soon as we walked in, I knew it was a mistake to come with him.

Max frowned as he saw us together.

"What was so important? I was about to go to sleep" Lando said as he looked at Max.

"Oh were you now?" He scoffed. "I thought you maybe wanted to know that your fiancée is out with someone else" he said as he gestured at Lara and Ryder.

Lando looked at the both of them. They were just talking, Ryder seemed bored but Lara on the other hand was smiling and playing with her hair.

"But I guess you were quite busy yourself" Max scoffed but Lando was too busy trying to figure things out to notice the little dig.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the side. "So this was your plan all along? To keep Lara busy so you can fuck me?"

I raised my eyebrow. "No it wasn't Lando and don't blame it all on me, you wanted it too"

"You send your friend here to flirt with Lara" well yeah I kinda did that but I had no idea he would be knocking on my door a second later.

I looked at Lara and Ryder who already noticed us. Lara's face dropped as she got up as fast as she could and almost ran to us.

"Please, tell me you didn't plan this" Lando whispered as he looked at me. "I-I do-" I didn't know what to say, I didn't want to lie but we didn't plan this, not really.

"Lando, baby" Lara said as she grabbed his arm and pulled her with her. She didn't even question what I was doing here with him.
I don't think she really noticed me, she was too busy explaining things to Lando.

But he wasn't blind right? He saw the way she looked at Ryder and he just had sex with me.
He could he deny the feelings between us? Why would he?

He walked away with Lara, but he looked at me. I couldn't tell what that look on his face was.
Regret? Disappointment?

"Are you okay?" Ryder asked as he put his hand on my shoulder. I nodded. "It just sucks you know. He shouldn't be with her" I broke down.

Ryder noticed it too because he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head. "Why is he still with her, Ryder?"

It wasn't fair to ask him that because he obviously had no idea either.

"I don't know Aimée, I really don't" he whispered. "But there is one thing I do know" he said as he looked down at me.

I titled my head a little. Don't tell me I deserve better or that I should find someone else, don't tell me to move on.

He looked at me and gestured at the table where they were sitting on.
There was a glass of whiskey, obviously Ryder's and an almost empty glass of red wine, the glass has her red lipstick on it.

I quickly looked back at him. She was drinking red wine.
"She isn't-" I stuttered. "She isn't" he agreed.
