"So Lara is about to rush this thing" Kara said as she shoved an envelope in front of me.
I still couldn't believe she faked her pregnancy, did Lando even know?
He must notice that something was wrong, right?I grabbed the envelope and opened it. "What's this?" I looked down at it and once again my heart stopped. It's not that I didn't expect it, I just didn't expect it to be so soon.
"They're gonna get married in two weeks?" I said as I dropped the invitation. Ryder was sitting with us and grabbed the invitation as well while rubbing my back softly.
Kara nodded. "She didn't invite me, but Lando obviously invited Charles" and she would be his plus one. "I am not going through"
I looked at her. "You should go" I said which made her and Ryder look at me confused. "You're gonna sneak me in"
"You wanna go to their wedding? Seriously?"
I didn't really wanna go, I still had two weeks to figure out why the fuck he would wanna marry her.
I had two weeks to convince him not to marry her.I still had two weeks.
"If it's necessary then yes I will go" I nodded. "You're gonna mess that wedding up, right?" Kara asked.
"As she should" Ryder gave me a nod of approval.
I would rather not do that, but like I said, I wasn't the nice, sweet Aimée anymore.
Seeing Ryder again definitely helped me to get that spark back.————————-
It was hot and I was sweating, I think I sprayed so much deodorant today that I smelled like flowers and sweat at the same time.
It was race day today but it was an evening race so we were just hanging around until it was time to finally race.
Lando and I didn't talk after our evening together, after we had sex, after we saw Lara and Ryder together.
"Let's go" Ryder said as he put his hand on my back. My heart jumped a little. "Why? Is he here?" I whispered.
"Who?" He frowned. Did he forget why he was here in the first place? "My dad?"
"Oh, no. But I guess we should be prepared because it's hot as Hell here" he chuckled. "Yeah the devil works best in these kind of temperatures" I finished his joke.
"Exactly and I don't" he said as we walked to the Mclaren hospitality. "That's why we need some cooling down"
Why were we walking to the Mclaren hospitality now? The last person I wanted to see was Lando.
Stop lying.
"Wait, what is going on?" I said as we walked behind the hospitality. "I guess there's something I need to tell you" he said as he held his hand out.
Eve walked out of the hospitality, grabbed his hand and kissed his lips. My mouth fell open.
"You work fast" I chuckled. He was here for only a couple of days and already got himself a girlfriend?
I knew girls were attracted to him but damn."We're actually dating for a year now" Eve said.
A year? So she knew he wasn't dead. Did she knew I was his best friend?
It was as if she could read my mind. "Before you ask, I didn't know you were his best friend, I didn't know you guys knew each other"
I looked at them. "But that means..." it means that he was back for a year now without reaching out to me.
"No, we actually met in the army" Now it was Ryder who read my mind. "Didn't expect that huh?" Eve laughed as she looked at me.
"I quit the mission because I got injured" Eve explained.
I was speechless.
"Small world" I mumbled. "But now I have two bad ass army people defending me" I laughed.
That's why he didn't want to hang out with Lara, that's why he didn't want to flirt with her.
It all made sense."So, we prepared the ice baths" Eve said as she pointed at the ice baths in the corner. "Did the drivers go in there?" I asked.
"Not yet, you go first" she laughed as she looked at me. I quickly shook my head. "No, I'm not crazy"
But I didn't have the chance to run away because Lando walked out, only wearing his underwear.
He looked at me but his gaze quickly went to Ryder and Eve."Change your mind" Eve winked as she and Ryder walked back in the hospitality.
I guess he was as confused as I was. "Are they dating?" He asked, probably forgetting everything that happened between us. The bad things at least.
I did too.
"Apparently"
He quickly looked behind him to look at them for another second before turning his attention back to me. "Are you going in too?"
"No" I shook my head.
He raised his eyebrow. "Pussy" he said as he stepped in the ice bath.
He tried to keep a straight face, but even he was having a hard time with the cold water.Ice cold water.
"I am not a pussy" I said as I felt the water. Okay maybe I was a pussy.
"You are" the grin on his face got bigger.
I raised my eyebrow as I unbuttoned my pants and took them off, followed by my shirt. I didn't really think about this because I obviously didn't bring my bikini, so I was left in my underwear.
It wasn't as if he didn't see me like this, he saw everything I had to offer.
I breathed out before getting in. I was just standing in it for now and I was frozen already.
"You just have to do it fast" Lando laughed as he looked at me. I looked back at him, our eyes locked. "You can do it"
I nodded as I breathed out and sat down in the tub. I felt the cold going through my veins, but I never felt more alive.
He laughed as he held his hand our from the other bath, I quickly grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers. "I knew you could do it"
I didn't get it until now, but he was the one who always believed in me, he was the one who gave the power to do stuff like this.
And that's why I was so in love with him.
