So. Not. Real. -Lando Norris

13. Lando happened.

I was on a verge of tears while walking into the McLaren's building. Getting out of my car and just the 30 meters walk to the entrance of the paddock was a living hell. My dress was dangerously coming up on my thigh with each step, everyone around me was screaming and either asking me how the fuck did I bag someone like Norris or if I already took all his money.

That's definitely not how I imagined this would go, especially since he got so many nice comments under the kissing photo. Also I knew that the brits love Lando, but really? They love him that much that they have to mob his ''loved one''?

I saw the brown curls walking out of the doors and straight up come up to me to close me in a big hug. I automatically wrapped my hands around him and just breathed in his cologne. We didn't have much time to spend together and figure this shit out before the media duties started, so today it'll be the first evening that we will sit down and try to figure out what to do.

Yesterday was the free practices day and I had to leave after someone literally threw a bottle of water at me. I even thought about staying home today, but I know that this wouldn't look good and also I can see how stressed Lando is and how much he needs some support from everyone around.

''You okay?''

''Been better, but hopefully they'll calm down soon.''

''Yeah, I've talked about it with Zak and Char and we think it would be best if you will stay in my garage with my family. I know you like to see the podiums and celebrations, but I don't want you being hit by a bottle that some little girl threw.''

''Shouldn't you be loving your fans to death Mr. Norris?'' I tried saying it as if I'm still taking it all pretty lightly, but it was starting to get hard to lie.

''Those are not my fans, just some delusional people that are jealous of you. Charlotte digged a bit deeper into the comments and a lot of them seem to think that we're just hooking up and you're just using me for my dick and money...'' I pulled away from him with an angry look.

''The fuck? What do they need to see to understand that we're together? A wedding picture?''

''I think I know how to shut them up.'' I looked up at him confused. ''Just a little photo dump of us having fun and showing that it's serious. Even though Charlotte was skeptical at first, she finally agreed that it might help.''

''I don't think I'll ever understand people.'' I grabbed my head that started hurting from all the tears I was keeping in.

''At least it made you not have time to stress about meeting my family?'' Lando tried lifting me up a bit while we were walking to his side of the garage. His smile dropped down the moment he saw my frightened face. ''Fuck, don't even start now. They're right there and I know they will love you.''

I looked a bit to my left and saw a whole ass group of people, all laughing and talking with the mechanics.

''Breathe in and out Liv, you're starting to turn purple.'' I looked up at him and he just laughed slightly while giving me a kiss on the forehead. ''Folks, this is Olivia - my girlfriend. Liv this is my dad, mom, sisters, Oliver but you two already met briefly last year and my lovely grandparents.'' He lightly shoved me their way and I put on a smile that hopefully made me seem a bit more confident than I was feeling inside.

''Oh honey, you look beautiful in this dress.'' I felt a hug and a few strings of hair hitting my face. That genuinely made me smile for the first time today. ''Call me Cisca by the way, I have way too young of a soul to just be referred to as Landos mom.''

''It's so nice to meet you Cisca, Lando has actually been talking so much about you, that it's truly a pleasure.'' I saw how her eyes sparkled and she looked at Lando with a big smile.
