Secrets and Struggles

36

Lando paced around the living room waiting for Caitlyn to return. She had text saying she would be home in the next 15 minutes but that was nearly 40 minutes ago, and still no sight of her. He picked up his phone to try calling her when he heard a car door close outside. Rushing into the hall, he was met with the sight of his beautiful girlfriend wearing the orange dress from their date in Amsterdam. His breath caught in his throat as they stood staring at each other for what felt like an eternity before Caitlyn dropped her bags at her feet and rushed towards him. It had only been five days since they last saw each other but it felt like forever for both of them. 

As their bodies finally met in the middle of the hall, their lips instantly crashed together, longing for the familiarity of each other. It was rough and passionate and lasted until both of them were light headed from lack of oxygen.

C- Hey you!

L- Hey you!

It was all that needed to be said before Lando picked Caitlyn up, grasping her thighs as she wrapped her legs around him. Their lips didn't part as he moved them into the living room, laying her down on the couch. He pulled away slightly to take all of her in. He had missed her beautiful olive skin and chocolate brown eyes, her signature smell of fresh flowers mixed with a hint of berries but most of all he missed the way her touch made his skin burn with desire. Soon their clothes had been discarded and Lando was entering her. This time it was more sensual than any time before, it was longing for each other, it was gentle. This time it was making love. After coming down from their highs, the pair lay cuddled on the couch under a cosy blanket. Neither spoke, it was just a moment to be back in each others arms without any outside stresses or worries getting to them. 

C- I am going to take a shower and get some clothes on before Max and P get back, then I want to tell you about where I was this morning

Lando took this as a que to get some clothes on as well, before heading to the kitchen to pour them both a drink. As Caitlyn came downstairs she was reading her notebook, more precisely the message from her boyfriend

L- I meant everything I wrote down in there baby. I love you

C- I love you too Lando, you have no idea how much!

L- Now...tell me about your morning, where were you?

C- Well, you know I have been thinking about jobs and what I wanted to do. When I was in bed ill, it suddenly came to me. I put a proposal together and sent it to a few people and well, I had a meeting about it this morning.

L- And? what is your idea

C- I am going to be travelling to the rest of the races this season. I am going to be writing blog articles about each destination in regards to the fans. What they can do in each city, good places to stay, eat, visit etc. I will be like a F1 tourist guide

L- Wow that's amazing! Wait, did you say you will be coming to all my races!?!?!

C- Yes baby, and I've not told you the best part. I am going to be working in partnership with Mclaren! The articles will be shared by the other teams via the FIA but officially I am going to be a papaya girl!

L- I can't believe it Caitlyn, I am so proud of you

Lando picked her up and was spinning her round whilst they both grinned at each other as Max and P got home. After filling them in with everything that had happened, Caitlyn phoned Michelle to finally share it all with her. Of course, her best friend was excited for her, but Caitlyn could tell that she was a little hurt she hadn't told her sooner. That evening, Caitlyn, Lando, Max and P had a celebratory meal and played some games. Nothing could spoil her happiness in that moment. The four of them spent time watching Netflix together before heading to bed. Caitlyn lay in bed wrapped in Lando's arms whilst he softly snored. She, however, was wide awake. The excitement of the day still coursing through her body. She gently slipped out of bed and crept out of the room. She sat down at the desk in Lando's office/sim room and opened her laptop. She had too many ideas whizzing around her brain for the blog so she opened WordPress and started designing her page. Completely caught up in her thoughts, she was startled by Lando wrapping his arms around her from behind.

 L- Baby,  its 3am. What are you doing?

C- Sorry, I hope I didn't wake you up. I just had too many things in my head so I thought I would start designing my blog page.  I am going to use the things from Zandvoort that I never ended up publishing as a starter

L- That's great, but you need to come to bed now. I don't like sleeping on my own

C- Okay okay, I'm coming. Just ten more minutes, I promise

Lando chuckled as he left the room, knowing full well he would find his girlfriend sleeping at the desk in the morning.
