INCOMING CALL
lando x
answer decline
Aurora looked at the phone for longer that she intended, nearly letting it ring out. Finally, she pulled herself together and pressed answer bringing the phone up to her ear, "Hello."
She could hear the smile through the phone, "Hey, Rory." Her body relaxed unconsciously and her lips tugged up slightly as he spoke, "How you feeling?"
"I'm fine, how are you?" Change the subject. "Qualifying is today isn't it?" She heard him huff through the line, evident that the stress was getting to him, "Yeah, it's this afternoon. So I wanted to speak to my good luck charm."
Aurora laughed at this, a soft laugh, "Don't jinx it Lando, luck isn't something to be juggled with." Lando mirrored her laugh, he was relaxing for the first time all day, "Wise words." she retorted back, "Well I'm a wise women so."
The pair continued in conversation, each becoming more themselves as the call went on - Aurora back to making her witty comments and Lando back to his sarcastic ways. Without realising it, they were becoming each others anchors. Each others escape from reality.
"Oh Rory, I meant to ask." She hummed in enquiry, not knowing what the next sentence was going to be, "You had any more thoughts about going back to dance?" She inhaled sharply, it felt as though someone knocked the wind out of her. She was rushed back to reality, "Yeah, I'm gonna leave it."
Lando didn't know, of course he didn't. How could he? So when he began questioning her on the matter, she knew she had no right to snap but, "Lando, do you ever mind your business?" This took both of them by shock - Aurora hadn't meant for her tone to be so sharp and bitter, and Lando hadn't seen this side before, "Look, it doesn't matter it's my issue. Just-" She exhaled and rubbed her forehead, "Have a good qualifier, Lan."
And she put the phone down. Lando kept the phone to his ear for a further 10 seconds. He hadn't meant to pry - he was such a fuck up. In the car and out of it. He was being nosy, he'd always been told he was nosy. Lando pushed himself of the chair and headed to the garage, well this is going to go well.
