I slowly opened my eyes when I heard someone moving around the room. I reached for my phone to check what time it was. I groaned with dissatisfaction when I saw the time on the display. 8 am. Has Lando gone completely crazy? I rolled onto my stomach and buried my face in the pillow. There were quiet knocks on the door a moment later.

"I'm sleeping!"- I shouted.

When there was silence again, I realized that Lando had let himself go and was doing something. How surprised I was when I felt someone tearing the sheets off me with laughter.

"Wake up!"

"Norris, do you want to live a little longer in this world?"- I muttered under my breath, rising on my elbows to look at him. He stood laughing with the sheets in his hands.

"Was that a threat against me?"

Of course it's a threat. Not really a request.

I frowned as I sat on the bed and ran a hand through my hair.

"I must admit, you look cute when you're angry," he said with a goofy smile on his face.

Did he just compliment my unhappy face?

"Come on, I made breakfast."

"Did you make breakfast or order it?"- I replied sarcastically.

Lando rolled his eyes and left the room.

"Of course he ordered it," -I said under my breath, getting out of bed.

When we left the hotel, there was a Mclaren sports car parked in front of it. I was surprised to see this car, but I didn't ask Lando about it. I stood next to him as he threw his backpack into the backseat.

"Get in,"- he instructed me hastily.

"Yes sir."- I saluted and he laughed.

The interior of the car exceeded all my expectations. The rich equipment took my breath away. I didn't notice when Lando took the driver's seat next to me.

"Buckle up and let's go. Safety first right?"

I shook my head and then fastened my seat belt. Lando started the engine and pulled out from the hotel, carefully merging into the traffic on the main street.

"Where are we going?" -I asked, looking at him.

"I didn't tell you earlier because I didn't know if you would agree."-he replied, trying to stay focused on the road.

What was he up to? I didn't like his answer. He actually irritated me.

"Lando damn Norris. Where are you taking me?"

Seeing that I was starting to get nervous, he looked at me.

"Um," -he began,- "to a Silverstone circuit."

I couldn't believe my ears. I feel like last night, he didn't listen to me complaining that we were stuck in one room because of the Grand Prix and now he was talking me there.

"You are not serious, right?!"- I raised my voice.

"I knew you would react like this."

No shit Sherlock. What was he thinking? Did he expect me to jump for joy? He was very wrong.
