Lando:
Im looking forward to clubbing with Eliana later. And Liv, if she comes. Though, from what Eliana has told me about her, she wouldn't miss clubbing with her for the world. In the small amount of time ive spent with Liv, ive come to realise that i really vibe with her. I like her, in a way that i dont really understand yet. I havent really decided what i want from her, but i know i want something. Even if that something is just her company.—
Ive seen some of the team around the bar, chatting to a few of them as i go past, but i mostly spend my time with the boys. Our little racing table. Not everyone is here, like kevin, Nico, Fernando, and Valterri, they rarely ever come out with us. But in all fairness, they do have children. Beggars cant be choosers, i guess.Ive had a few drinks, mostly because new people keep arriving and i keep suggesting we do a round of shots. But they all agree, so really its not my fault. Im not drunk enough to be slurring my words, but im at the point where things tickle me more than they should. Like, Carlos was talking about something pierre did with Kika on tiktok, and it definitely shouldnt have been funny, but just picturing him doing tiktoks with her made me giggle. I mean, come on, its Pierre. After a while of talking and (of my doing) more drinking, i get a message from Eliana to say shes outside.
"Be right back." i say to no one in particular, hoping that at least one person heard me, else they will all think im off getting shagged in the toilets or something.
I walk to the entrance of the club, pushing past a few people who are trailing their way inside. I spot her red hair instantly, smiling when i notice the blonde next to her.
"Hey my fav girl." i smile as i hug her.
"Oh stop it lando. People might get the wrong idea." she rolls her eyes, swatting at my arm.
"And what if they do?" i wink at her playfully as i back away.
"You're a dickhead." she deadpans, a slight blush on her face.
"A handsome dickhead."
"A humble one as well, apparently." she smacks my arm as she walks past me.
I turn around, meeting Liv's stare, "Hey Liv." i smile softly at her.
"Hey Norris." she smirks.
I lead both of them into the club, past all the busy floor. "Nice dress by the way, Eli."
"Thanks, but you've definitely had a few drinks. Your flirt levels are a lot higher than usual." she tilts her head at me.
"Flirt levels? Im not flirty."
"You most definitely are. Isnt he Liv?" she looks back to Liv who has a smile on her face.
"You are quite flirty."
I wack my hand to my heart, "Why am i being attacked?"
Their light laugh meets my ears, "We're just telling the truth."
I introduce Eliana and Livia to the group, paying close attention to how Oscar's eyes dont stray from the glass in his hands. Funny, how when shes right in front of him, he doesn't dare to meet her eyes. Once everyone is acquainted, i order another round of shots, to which everyone obliges to.

Sometime during the night, i dragged Liv onto the dance floor, or she dragged me, i cant really remember. She smiled at me with such joy that i knew she loved clubs. Which i can get along with, because i quite enjoy a party too. She made fun of my dancing, which is quite rude, but i just blamed it on the alcohol, stating that i usually dance better. I like this side of her as it allows me to get to know her, and i want to be able to do more of that.
