Ich Liebe Dich, Lena ~ pt 2

☆ Fifteen ☆

We went to the hotel after qualifying and cuddled up. The next morning I woke up early. I actually had secretly started smoking since finding out I was a princess. I knew Lando would go crazy if he knew that I started smoking so I was doing it when he was either busy, in the car or sleeping. It wasn't until today that I got caught out. Lando was still asleep when I woke up so I made a cigarette quickly in bed and hid all my stuff in my pocket or at least I thought I did. I went to have a smoke and then came back to Lando sitting up in the bed and holding my filter tips in his hand.

"Wanna tell me why you're smelling like cigarettes?" He said.

"No reason" I said as he continued to play with the filter tips in his hand.

"Really, Lena? No reason at all?" He said as he raised an eyebrow. I knew he knew but I still continued to lie.

"Nope... no reason" I said.

"Mhm. Suuuure" he said with his arms crossed over his chest. His tanned... muscular chest... snap out of it Lena. Your boyfriend just found out you've been smoking. "I'm not buying that for a second, love. What have you been up to lately?" He said.

"nothing. I've not been up to anything" I said. I don't know why I kept lying because the proof was right there in his hand.

"Oh, really? Well, then, I guess these filters must belong to someone else, huh?" He said.

"I guess so..." I said. He walked over to me and grabbed my wrist.

"Lena, I can smell it on you. Don't lie to me" he said. I couldn't help but continue to lie.

"I'm telling you the truth!!!" I said.

"Lena, this is not okay with me. I thought I could trust you. But now I see things differently" he said.

"I'm not lying!!!" I said as all my smoking stuff fell out of my pocket. The tobacco, the papers, my lighter & he had my filters in his hand. I was fully caught out.

"I think you need to leave. And don't come back until you can be honest with me" he said. Was he seriously kicking me out of OUR hotel room??

"what...? you can't kick me out of our hotel room???" I said.

"Lena, I'm not kicking you out of our hotel room. I'm asking you to leave until you can be honest with me. I need some time alone to process all of this. Get your stuff and go" he said.

"are you fucking serious, Lando???" I said.

"Lena, I am serious. This situation is beyond what I thought it would be. I need some space and time to figure things out. Please leave" he said.

"fuck you then. you forget that you're talking to the princess of fucking germany. but whatever. fine. I'll fucking go" I said while picking up all my smoking stuff and started making another one on the way out. I was so pissed off to the point where I took off both of my necklaces and my ring and put them in my pocket. I did not want to think of him at that time. A couple hours later Lando came into the paddock. I was outside the McLaren hospitality having another cigarette. This was like my 6th of the day and it was only 11am. He took the cigarette out of my mouth and put it out against the wall. "What the fuck?" I said.

"You really think I'm going to let you ruin your life like this?" He said.

"I didn't tell you for this fucking reason. I knew you would kick off about me smoking hence why I didn't tell you and why I didn't want you to know."

"Lena, I'm trying to protect you, both from yourself and the consequences that come with smoking"

"but it's my body. I'm probably gonna be banned from smoking when I properly become a princess so I might as well enjoy it while I can"
