Ride or Die | Lando Norris (ENGLISH)

24

Right after dinner, Charles disappeared from my apartment at the call of his girlfriend. He still felt weird talking about her with me, but he was opening up to me more and more, which made me very happy.

I was lying in bed with my phone in my hand. Lando never spoke to me after the call, although I saw he was using his phone to watch Max's stream, which he had already finished about three hours ago. It was well after midnight when I went out to the balcony to breathe some fresh air. Then I saw Norris enter the building, dragging his suitcase behind him.

R u back??
Landoooooo
I know you're not sleeping

I sighed loudly. Why was he behaving like this? This situation brought back memories from quite a few years ago, when I was sixteen and Lando was seventeen, I went on a date with a boy from school. That's when it all started.

I returned home with a huge smile on my face. I swung my small black purse back and forth as I walked down the hall leading to the living room and kitchen. I was wearing a beautiful, purple, knee-length dress and white sneakers.

– Melanie! Lando is waiting for you in your room! – my mother shouted from the living room. I also heard the amused voices of Adam and Cisca. I immediately turned around, almost running upstairs to my room.

When I opened the door, he was lying on his back in my bed, staring at the ceiling. He was wearing a set of black tracksuits. I hadn't seen him for a few months, so I immediately jumped on the bed next to him, tapping him aggressively on the chest.

– I missed you, Norris – I said with a smile, looking at his profile. He didn't turn towards me. His face didn't even move.

– Something happened? – I asked, frowning. My smile was fading more and more.

– Did you have fun with him? – he asked, licking his lip. He was still staring at the damn ceiling.

I wanted to tell him that I just had my first kiss with the hottest guy in school, but his behavior kept me away from it.

– Yes, we went to the cinema – I replied quietly.

He looked at me for a second. He glanced at my lips, then clenched his jaw and stared at the ceiling again.

– You kissed him – he said dryly.

I swallowed nervously, having no idea what to do in such a situation. Lando is my friend. I didn't want to upset him, but I also didn't want to lie to him, so I just nodded sluggishly, also focusing on the ceiling of my room, on which there were reflective stars glued.

– Would you do the same to me if I was always there? If I didn't fly around the world? – he asked quietly, biting his cheek.

I blinked my eyes a few times, wondering if this was some kind of dream. But it wasn't a dream. I wasn't going to lie to myself, Lando was handsome and had a wonderful personality, so if we spent more time together, something would definitely come of it. I nodded slightly and Norris turned his head towards me. He watched my face intently, struggling with his thoughts, until he finally placed his warm hand on my cheek and leaned over me, propping himself up on his elbow.

– Would you do it now? – he whispered, looking into my eyes.

– Yeah – I replied, just as quietly. I didn't have to wait long before Norris's lips landed on mine, moving at a steady pace. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. I had to admit he was a better kisser than Brian, who I was on a date with. His hand went from my cheek to my dress. He ran his fingers gently along my thigh, almost reaching my underwear. I sighed softly into his mouth, unable to hold it in, which made him smile.

– Lando! We're going back home! – his mother's voice rang throughout the house, causing Norris to immediately disconnect from me.

I blinked my eyes a few times when I was woken up by a notification from Twitch saying that Lando had just started streaming. I returned to the bedroom and laid down on the bed. I made myself comfortable and clicked on the notification.

– Hey, chat! – Norris waved to the camera.

He was wearing his pink hoodie with the hood over his head. He looked tired as hell, but he covered it with his trademark smile.

– I know it's late, but I just got back to Monaco and I can't sleep, so I thought we'd play some games for a while or talk – he shrugged innocently, putting on his headphones.

I snorted loudly. He had time to make a stream, but he didn't have time to reply to me? No such games with me. I quickly went to the messages, minimizing the stream.

Lando Norizz

If you don't reply to my messages within five seconds, I will burst into your apartment and cause a scene in front of the fifteen thousand people watching the stream :)

I smiled to myself as Lando looked at his phone, clearly concerned. A moment later, he looked at the camera, pressing his lips into a thin line.

Lando Norizz

Come here in an hour
I can't end the stream suddenly

I sighed softly and began to watch him as I adjusted the pillows on the bed. At the same time he took off his sweatshirt, leaving him in a white T-shirt. A few seconds later, Norris started playing some shooting game with bunch of his friends. I really tried to focus on the screen in front of my face, but I fell asleep pretty quickly with my phone in my hand. I have no idea how long I slept, but at some point I felt someone's presence next to me.

– You were supposed to come to me in an hour – Norris's serious voice echoed around the bedroom. My body shuddered at his voice. I rubbed my face with my hands, thinking I was dreaming, but Lando was lying on the bed right next to me, staring at the ceiling as his arms were under his head.

– Uh, I was tired, so I fell asleep – I muttered quietly, running a hand through my hair as I sat cross-legged, looking at his face.

– Did Leclerc tire you out so much?

I expected such a reaction. I rolled my eyes, even though it was dark, he probably knew it very well.

– He has a girlfriend, Lando. We spent a day together like normal friends. What a terrible tragedy – I sighed dramatically.

– Oh yeah? – he snorted.

– Do you think I would be capable of having an affair with a taken guy? – I growled. Two words he said and they pissed me off so much.

– That sounded bad... – he started, sighing. He rubbed his face with his hand. He must have been completely exhausted by now.

Suddenly an idea appeared in my head. It was as if a light bulb had turned on over my messy hair. He was jealous.

– You're jealous, Norris. Admit it – I said, trying to hide my amusement at the whole situation.

Lando just laughed loudly.

– Me? Never – he replied, looking at me.

Suddenly, as if on cue, my phone started ringing. I looked at it quickly. It was Lily, but Lando didn't need to know that.

– Can you go back to your place? Charles calls. He probably had a fight with Alex and wants to talk – I said in a sweet voice.

I wanted to tease him a little.

– Maybe he'll come here again, huh? Will you make room for him in your bed? – he hissed sarcastically.

– Maybe I'll drop by to see him – I shrugged.

This one stupid sentence triggered an avalanche of unexpected events.
