A promise to keep [Lando Norris]

20

Meg

We were off to Saudi, it wasn't too long of a flight from Bahrain but god was it hot. I never did too well in heat, I mean I lived in London and most the year it was freezing cold.

As we got off the jet I held my bag in my hand, I had a hoodie on but it needed to come off right away. Lando had flown with Max and I, along with Max's new girlfriend. I was furious with Max and I hadn't spoken to him since I saw him after our date.

Max had warned Lando off of me like I was some prize to be won. Some kind of property, of course he had no idea why I was mad at him. In fact I don't even think he knew I was mad at him, he never noticed when I was angry at him.

I guess he just assumed I was in a mood.

"Fuck it's hot" I speak, I look back as I see Lando giggle.

"Take your jumper off then" Max speaks at me, I shoot my head to him. I frown at him before flipping him off, I was seriously pissed off at him.

We made our way right from the plane to a car, when we got to the car the door was opened but with the amount of luggage we had it was clear we would need another car.

"Only two can fit in this one" The driver speaks, there was another car on the way. I was hoping and praying for a moment alone with Lando, I needed time with him.

I really did like him, I didn't think that I would fall for someone so soon. I had just ended a relationship I knew I should be healing and getting over Ezra. However, here I was looking at a man that stood near my brother.

A man that I wasn't allowed to like, but here I was getting more feelings by the day.

"You hop in, Meg and I will follow" Lando speaks up as he points to Max and Pietra. I keep my head looking down as I smirked, knowing what Lando was doing.

Max shoots Lando a look, a look of anger behind his eyes. I knew that he was pissed at Lando, I could see it. He was annoyed after the conversation they had that Lando was still trying to spend time with me.

"How about the girls ride together?" Max looks at Lando with his eyes squinted with anger behind.

"Max that's dumb, we've both never been here before and you two have" I add quickly, I just hoped that we weren't being too obvious.

"Why is it a big deal for them two to go together?" I hear Pietra asks, thank the lords for her.

The second that left her mouth Max looked over to her. He was pissed off but he also couldn't say anything, I had to save this right now. I had one more chance to save this.

"I don't know why you act like I'm in love with him Max" I speak, perhaps it was the wrong thing to say as it was a lie.

I was falling for him, I didn't want Lando to think what was going on between us didn't mean the world to me.

In fact it meant more than the world to me.

"Seriously I'm not some kid" I scoff, I turn and walk away from them all.

If there was one thing I was good at it was getting my own way when it came to Max. He always felt too bad for making me upset, that's why I wasn't surprised when a few seconds later I watched Max and Pietra get into the car.

Lando and I would wait for the next one which would be here in a matter of seconds.

I expected Lando to walk over to me, to talk to me about what had just happened. But he stays put, he doesn't move from the position he was in.

Was he mad at me?

I slowly walk over to him, once I arrive at his side I lean my head down onto his shoulder. I felt bad for saying I didn't have feelings for him, but he knew that I had to say that I mean Max was there for christ sake.

"Lan you know that-"

"Car is here" He speaks cutting me off, our bags had gone ahead with the others. That meant it was just the two of us in this car, there was enough room in the back but Lando walks around to the passenger side.

Leaving me alone in the back.

What the fuck was his problem?

The entire way to the hotel he didn't talk to me, I was sat in the back getting more wound up by the second. He knew I didn't say what I said out of spite, I said it to cover our asses so we could spend some time alone together.

He was acting like a child and it was pissing me off. Like really pissing me off.

The second we arrived at the hotel I climbed out and headed right into the lobby. I saw Max and walked right over to him and Pietra, I really don't want to speak to Lando right now. If he wants to act like a child.

So be it.

"What's wrong with you?" Max asks me as I stand there with my arms crossed over my chest.

"Nothing just tired"

"Okay then" Max speaks clearly not believing me.

I didn't care if he believed me or not, I just wanted to get to my room so I could be away from Lando.

Lando trails in behind us with fans on his tail, I look over as he speaks to one girl. In fact he as a little too close, he hugged her before pulling away his arms still on her body. I felt rage build up inside of me, I notice him look over at me before his attention is back on the fan.

He was doing this to piss me off.

My room key sat on the counter in front of me, I lean forward grabbing the key before storming off towards the elevator.

I had no idea why he was acting like a full on man child right now.

~~~

It had been two hours since Lando decided we were in primary school once again. He was acting like an eight year old with a crush, not once did he attempt to talk to me about his feelings.

I wasn't here to get involved in another relationship where I can't express my feelings without being met with a childish reaction. 

I lay in the hotel room, looking up at the ceiling when I hear a knock at the door. I expect it to be Lando begging for my forgiveness, instead it's Pietra.

"Oh hey" I smile as I see her, I watch as her face turns into a frown.

"Expecting someone else?"

"Nope" I speak cutting her off before I allow her to walk in.

Once she was in my room she turns to me with a look that scared me. It looked like she knew something, something that didn't want her to know.

"What?" I ask her, I could see her fighting with the thoughts of if to say anything to me or not.

"Are you and Lando fucking?"

Fuck.
