Sparks Fly- L.N

Chapter 37

"Lando Norris!" Elenore roared, Land decided it was a good idea to start blasting music at 6 am on a Monday morning.
"I swear to god if you don't turn it off I'm going to kill you!" She groaned and pulled the covers over her head.
"Good morning to you too my sweet girl," he laughed as he came out from the walk-in closet in just workout shorts.
"Care to join me at the gym?" He smiled and sat down beside her.
"Go away," she groaned and turned her back to him.
"I'll take that as a no," he laughed and stood up. "Too bad, I was planning on working out shirtless today-"
"I'm up!" Elenore almost shot up from the bed.
"I knew it," Lando chuckled and smirked, "you only want me because of my body." He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Yeah? So?" She smiled, "I mean can you blame me?"
"Ouch, my feelings are hurt. You know I am more than a pretty face," Lando pretended to be hurt.
"Lando, I say this with as much kindness as I can. You are dumb," she smiled.
"Okay, ow." He looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
"Not like that," she laughed, "Mon amour you are extremely hot, but you are also quite, uhm, stupid." She smiled softly. "But it's okay, you are my stupid hottie." She winked.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you," he laughed lightly. "But can you just repeat one thing for me?" He lowered his voice. Elenore nodded eagerly.
"Can you please call me mon amour again?" He leaned in and whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her back. He completely butchered the pronunciation, but what did you expect?
"Mon amour," she whispered softly.

A big smile spread on his face,
"From now on I want you to call me only that," he kissed her cheek before letting her go to put on a hoodie.
"What happened with working out shirtless?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Do you really want me to do that? Darling, you get jealous quite easily," he laughed lightly.
"I can fight," she shrugged. "But maybe wear that shirt, only I am allowed to see you without it," she winked and went into his closet to change.
"Tease," he mumbled under his breath.
"I can hear you!" She laughed.
"Good," he smiled and sat down on the bed, waiting for her to be done changing.

It seemed like it had slipped their minds that Lando was famous because they went outside hand in hand expecting no one to bat an eye. But when Elenore saw the cameras she was quick to lose her grip on him and step away. Luckily she was fast because within seconds of her separating from him there were at least 3 different cameras pointed at him.

She had forgotten all about this part of the relationship, the hiding and lying. Shit. It just hit her that she would have to tell the world about them again, this was just destined to end in chaos. She quickly abandoned the idea of spending the morning with him. She put on her headphones instead and headed for a walk.

She felt her phone buzz and it was Lando,
Lando: Hey, are u ok? Im sorry that hapened
She smiled softly and replied.
Elenore: Yeah, Im on a walk. I'll see you later?
Lando: Definetly, want to stay at my place tonight?
Elenore: Only if you promise to let me sleep in the morning
Lando: I promise.
Elenore: I'll see you later then, have a good workout!

There was just something about walking down the streets of Monte Carlo in early February, listening to Pink + White by Frank Ocean. The breeze from the sea was somewhat cold, but the sun was warm and it felt sureal. The trees hadn't quite begun to bloom yet, but it still felt like spring. Elenore was so used to the UK that it almost felt like May.

She got back to the apartment before Lando, so she decided to clean up a bit around the place. She made the bed, vacuumed, and did the dishes. It was kind of like playing House. She would cook and take care of the place and her handsome husband would come home and give her a wonderful kiss and then take care of her. Don't get her wrong, Elenore was a huge feminist but sometimes she let herself think about what it would be like as a stay-at-home mom. She was still young and she loved her work, but something inside of her longed for that lifestyle.

"I'm home!" Lando called out and closed the front door. How fitting. Elenore ran up to him and hugged him.
"Hi," she smiled. Lando instantly dropped his gym bag and wrapped his arms around her.
"Hi darling," he kissed he top of her head.
"You smell," she scrunched her nose.
"And I missed you too," he laughed and stepped back.
"I missed you, but you smell." She giggled lightly.

Lando didn't say a word, but he picked Elenore up and threw her over his shoulder.
"Hey! What are you doing!" She laughed.
"We are taking a shower," you could practically hear the smirk on his face.
