Lando's POV
After a night out, Nova and I went back to my apartment. We were both surprisingly sober.
I didn't want to drink too much because the season was starting pretty soon again and Nova, I didn't know why she wasn't drinking much.
I like to believe that she did it for me, that she wanted to enjoy one of our last nights together.
"I am gonna take a shower" I announced. We were gonna sleep in the same bed and I wanted to smell fresh, it was also an invitation for her to join me.
Which she didn't take.
"You do that" she mumbled. I already expected that, but I could always try.
She walked in the bathroom as I was showering. Grabbed her toothbrush, which was always laying in my bathroom.
"You wanna join me?" I asked, just to get a rise. "Lando" she groaned.
I guess that's a no.
She jumped on the bathroom counter and started brushing her teeth while kicking her feet.
"Do you think Billie and Max hooked up?" She asked, almost not understandable. "I don't know, I can ask him if you want?"
I didn't really care about it if I was honest. If he did, good for them. If they didn't, then I don't know what Max was waiting for.
"Yeah okay but don't be too obvious about it please" she put her toothbrush under the water and put it back where it belonged.
I walked out of the shower, grabbed a towel and put it around my waist.
She tried not to look at me, she tried to hide her side-eyes but I noticed it. I always notice it.
She was a sucker for my chest. When we were dating she would always find an excuse to touch it, look at it, put her head on it and kiss it.
So now, I always used it to my advantage.
"Okay I'm gonna take a shower now, so get out" she said as she jumped off the counter, put her hands on my chest and pushed me out of the bathroom.
"Watch those hands, princess" I grinned as I looked at her.
She shoved my out of the bathroom, her hands slipping down my body. We both know it's on purpose, but she will never admit to that.
She slammed the door in my face.
Only a year ago, we would've showered together, followed by a cuddle session and obviously some amazing sex.
But we did none of that anymore.
I put on my underwear and walked to my bed. I crawled on to the left side of the bed, which was the side she preferred.
Twenty minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom, her hair was up in a high ponytail and she was wearing a top and shorts she always left at my place.
She was looking absolutely beautiful.
She tilted her head and looked at me. "Really?"
"What?" I pretended to be as innocent as I could. "You're laying on my side of the bed"
She walked up to me, pushed me as hard as she could, which wasn't hard at all but I still pretended as if she pushed me to my side of the bed.
She crawled in bed next to me and looked up at the the ceiling.
"You good?" I looked over at her.
She looked back at me, turned on her side and nodded.
"What will happen when you start the season?" She asked, her eyes traveled from my eyes to my bare chest.
I told you she was a sucker for it.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, I'll try to win my first race and beat Max hopefully"
"That's not what I meant" she mumbled.
And I knew that it wasn't what she wanted to know.
"Nova" I whispered. "You have a boyfriend"
She nodded with a little smile. "And you fuck girls"
And that was exactly what we did. She dated random guys and I slept with random girls.
I did it to forget about her. I hurt her, I cheated on her. Once or twice, the dumbest thing I ever did.
I wish I could take it back, but I couldn't.
So she probably dated guys to find a love like we had, I was hoping she would never find that.
