My whole body is aching, oh god I'm so hungover, I roll over and grab my phone from the table. Jesus I've been tagged in a million photos, what's happened I'm so confused. I blink slightly and unlock my phone to see one of the posts I've been tagged in. Oh. My. Fucking. God.
-BREAKING NEWS, LANDO AND THE NEW WORKER AT MCLAREN, NAMED ANASTASIA RYE SEEN KISSING IN THE CLUB-
tagged: @landonorris @anarye
HOW MUCH ARE WE LOVING THIS COUPLE?!!??💖
I'm going to be sick. I'm actually going to be sick, Obviously it's not because of the photo, I'm severely hung over. But that is awful. Why did we kiss. When did it happen. The last thing I remember is us walking back from getting drinks at the bar. I see Zak's messaged me so I click on it.
I quickly message back I'm not with Lando because he's not here. Which is when I hear snoring from the living room. No. No. Don't do this. Please. Please don't tell me he's here. I get out of bed and slowly walk to the living room. And there Lando is. Sleeping. I scream which startles him awake, he scans the room and then sees me, "Calm down Jesus Christ" he says rubbing his forehead. "Oh my god I'm gonna cry" I say running back into the bedroom. Why does it just register now that I'm in Lando's T-shirt and my thong. He comes strolling in to the bedroom and leans against the doorway, "Look I'm sure we didn't even fuck" he says shrugging. I gesture to what I'm wearing and he bites his lip slightly. "Well we can just pretend it didn't happen, that's what we both want" he says shrugging.
"It might be what you want cause you fuck people all the time so it doesn't matter to you" I say scoffing. He shrugs. "Get out!" I shout. "Well Zak's asked to meet us in an hour." He says chuckling. "You're a cunt" I say. He comes closer to me, I walk backwards but my back ends up against the wall. He looks down to my lips slightly, "Behave" he says softly. My hearts racing right now. "I forgot how nervous you get around me" he says smiling. "Nervous? I'm not nervous" I say pushing him off me. He chuckles, "Seems that way" he says walking off. This is not good. This is not good at all.

We're walking inside the McLaren HQ, neither of us saying a word to each other. "Zak's inside his office, you can go in" the reception lady says. Lando nods to her and we walk into the office. "Take a seat" Zak says folding his arms. Oh god. We're gonna be fired. I'm gonna be fired. I sit down beside Zak, "Zak I'm so sorry. This is not like me at all. I don't know what happened" I start rambling. "Anastasia calm down" he says chuckling. I look to him confused. "This is the best PR for Lando since he was with Luisinha" he says shrugging. What. "What do you mean?" Lando asks leaning forward over the table. "I mean I came to congratulate you two, it's great that you've found love" he says smiling.
I laugh, "Love? We're not in love. It was a mistake" I say quickly. Zak raises an eyebrow to me, "Yeah no. We're not friends. We didn't mean for it to happen. We were just drunk" Lando adds shrugging. "Oh" Zak says confused. "So I'll message the newspapers to kill the story" I say. Zak shakes his head, "There's no point now. Everyone knows. Just let it fizzle out." He says shrugging. "Let it fizzle out?" Lando asks. "Yeah. I mean. It's good PR for you Lando, you've got a bit of a fuck boy reputation so this might help calm it down a bit" Zak adds shrugging. I try to sustain a giggle. It's funny that he's got a fuck boy reputation, because when I knew him he was exactly the same. "I do not" Lando says getting annoyed. Zak raises an eyebrow to him and he shuts up.
"Ok well I was going to put forward an idea for you two to be together publicly but I guess that's not going to happen. So you guys can go if you want" Zak says closing his notepad. "Yeah that's not happening" Lando says shaking his head. "I wouldn't want it to anyway" I say rolling my eyes. Zak eventually lets us go and we walk out separately . Clearly neither of us wanting to say a word to each other.
