A promise to keep [Lando Norris]

"Well well if it isn't New York Times best seller Megan Fewtrell!" I hear P speak as she walks into the cafe. I stand up with a huge smile on my face as I pull her in for a tight hug.

I missed her.

"Hey P" I say as I hold her against my body for a few seconds. I hadn't seen her in a few weeks after the book went crazy I had been kind of busy.

"You look better" She tells me as she holds my face in her hands for a few seconds.

By that she means I look like Ive slept a little more than usual. I still don't really sleep a lot, not after Lando. God I missed him so much, I hadn't seen him since that day at my apartment.

I heard from him though, not that I replied to anything.

I was too scared.

He first text me the day I got published.

Lando: I'm so proud of you baby x

The next communication wasn't a text rather the biggest flower delivery I had ever seen in my entire life. Around 20 bouquets of flowers, different types and they covered most of my apartment. There was a note in the the biggest bouquet;

763 flowers one for every page you wrote, I am so fucking proud of you :)
- Lando

My heart shattered that day, that was the only day I really wanted to message him. But I didn't.

I couldn't help but wonder if he had read the book that he had inspired so much. He was my
muse after all.

"Have you heard from him?" I ask P, I knew she saw him and I also knew that he would ask her about me. We both asked about one another, but neither of us would go to the others place.

I knew where he lived and he knew where I was, but he was scared and as was I.

"He was asking about you" She tells me, I can't help but sigh. I look at her with pain in my eyes, god I missed him so fucking much.

I just wanted to look into his eyes once more, just for a second. That was all I wanted.

"Asking what?" I couldn't help but ask, I wish I didn't want to know but I did. I wanted to know if he had moved on, if he had found the love he deserved to have.

He didn't deserve to be hurt.

"If you're coming to Max's birthday"

That.

Max had invited me to his birthday in a weeks time in Monaco. It was his 25th birthday and he wanted me there, we hadn't exactly patched up our relationship perfectly but it was better than it was. I could actually stand to talk to him on the phone, I mean he called me time and time again.

He was trying to take back his mistakes.

I did want to go, but I was so scared of seeing Lando for the first time again. To see him after I had said what I said, after I hurt him the way I had.

"I don't know if I should I-"

"He wants you there, he said it won't be awkward and he promises not to mention anything to do with you two" I look at P as she interrupts me. "In fact he said if you want he won't talk to you at all"
