does he know?

"Hey Liv!" Charlotte calls. I force a smile and walk towards her. She's wearing Lando's T-shirt, a messy bun and a pair of shorts. Why does she look actually nice. Nicer than me I hope not. We walk inside Bendalls and start looking on the rails for stuff.

"Hey I know you and Lando have a big history and I don't want to get in the way of a friendship you guys might have" Charlotte says while looking through the dress rack. I force a smile, "Yeah well you wouldn't anyway" I say sarcastically. She sighs and walks off to shop down the store. I follow her. "Wait Charlotte" I say frantically. She turns around to face me, "I know you've got a problem with me Olivia. What I can't understand is why? I've only ever been pleasant to you" she says sighing. I nod, "No I know. I don't have a problem with you. I'm sure you're lovely. It's just weird seeing Lando with someone else." I say truthfully. She sighs and sits down, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rub anything in your face. I just thought you'd moved on with Carlos" she says, I sit down beside her. "No I have. But it's just weird." I say nodding slowly. Charlotte turns to me, "I'm sorry for not being slower to adjust our relationship to you" she says. She's being awfully understanding. "Yes well. It is what is" I say. We get back up and continue shopping.

I see she's getting a phone call from Lando, "Want me to pick it up?" I shout as she's in the dressing room. "Yes please, just tell them I'll call them back!" She shouts. I smile and wander off answering the phone. "Hey baby, how's it going?" Lando asks over the line. "Hey baby, it's going great" I reply mimicking Charlotte and then giggling. "Why don't have Charlottes phone Liv?" Lando asks sighing. "Relax she just asked me to pick it up for her while she's changing" I say sitting down just outside the changing room. "Ok well. I'm gonna leave you guys to it-" Lando goes to say but I cut him off, "Actually since you won't answer my calls, I have stuff I need to give back to you. So can you come to my apartment around 6/7 ish before I go to Carlos'" I ask leaning back on the chair. I hear a sigh, "Fine. I'll be there at 6" he says before ending the call.

It's not a lie. I do have stuff I want to give back to him. But I also want to find out if he's as loyal to her as he says he is. Obviously without breaking boundaries with Carlos. Charlotte comes out the changing room and I practically applaud, "Omg that dress is gorgeous on you! Might just need a mani pedi though." I say trying to hide my smile. "Gosh yes you're right" she says shaking her head at her hands. We finish off shopping and then I walk her to my favourite nail salon. She will be there for ages. They do the best work. I look at my watch and it's 5:00 already. Better get back. "See you later!" I say hugging her. She hugs me back smiling, "Thanks for today! See you soon Liv" she says smiling and asking inside the nail salon.

I rush back home and get changed into something else, setting up candles around the apartment. I've got to make it plausible. Once I'm set up with the flowers in the middle of the table. I sit waiting for the door bell to go.

LANDO's POV:

I wander into the apartment block and go to her door before knocking on it. A second later the door swings open, "Lando" she says smiling. I look her up and down. Criminal. Why is she prancing around in her lingerie. "Olivia what are you wearing" I say moving her inside and shutting the door. I look around the room. Has she done all of this? "Liv. What the hell is Carlos going to think?" I ask scanning her eyes. "I don't care anymore." She says walking closer to me. "What are you doing?" I ask her, as she stands in front of me playing with my curls. I gulp slightly because she's making me kind of nervous. "Do you not find me attractive anymore?" She asks.

"Liv cmon" I say looking down at her, "You don't do you" she says getting upset and walking off. I follow her into the bedroom, closing the door behind me. "Liv. You know that's not true. Of course I think you're beautiful." I say sitting beside her on the bed. "I don't know why I'm acting like this" she says burying her head in her hands. I slide my arms round her waist and pull her close to me. "Is it possible. You've got feelings for me?" I ask her. She takes her head away from her hands and scans my eyes, "How could I have feelings for you when I'm with Carlos" she says disregarding the idea. I take my finger to her chin and turn her to face me, "Hm." I say scanning her eyes. "You're jealous of Charlotte aren't you." I say sighing and dropping her chin. "Well. So what if I am. It doesn't change anything" she says. I pull her closer to me. "Admit your jealous" I say staring to her lips. She breathes harder against me, "I'm jealous Lando" she says weakly.
