dangerous curves -Lando Norris (English Version)

Part 37: ending

'amalia...' he whispers after a while, as his stroking of my hair calms me down.

'Tell me step by step what happened...' he whispers again.

Wet eyes lock onto his.

'It's not necessary...' I struggle to speak at all.

''That's it...tell me everything and I promise you that bastard will get his karma...please tell me...'' he speaks softly to me.

'I don't want you to get hurt...' I raise my voice rather weakly.

'amalia...you're the only one who can really hurt me...no one else...please tell me what happened...' he says.

Realization spread through me. I had lost him if he already thought about me like that. I snuggle deeper into his chest, followed by silence.

'After dinner...I wanted something to myself, so I walked along the promenade and sat down on the sand...I was letting my thoughts drift when suddenly a drunk person came up behind me, obviously trying to hit on me. I stood up and just wanted to get away. But the guy grabbed my wrists and pushed me violently against a wall. In tears, I begged him to stop. Then he...reached between my...legs...and out of fear I pushed him away from me, whereupon he hurt my cheeks, followed by the fact that he tore my dress open in certain places. Then I pushed him away again and I got punched in the face...I begged him again...not to do it, but then he touched my breasts...but then I fought back and kicked him in the balls...'' I explained to Lando in a shaky voice.

'That son of a bitch...' he said angrily, holding me closer.

"When he reached between your legs, did he have his fingers inside you?" Lando asks gently and carefully.

'No, thankfully not,' I reply.

'I'm going to kill that bastard,' he says, cursing and holding me very close to him.

My innocent eyes rise.

'Thank you for being with me...' I begin to whisper.

'You know I'll always do this...' he replies gently.

'You should take a bath first, amalia...' he adds and carries me to my private bathroom.

Standing on my own two feet, Lando pours hot water into the bathtub as I watch him.

''Take your clothes off...I'll warm the bed for you...'' he says as his eyes meet me again.

'Aren't you staying?' I ask and take his hand.

Our eyes deepen. A kiss on his lips followed. But seconds later he breaks the kiss and tenderly pushes me away.

'I didn't know you'd taken this the wrong way...' he says.

'What do you mean, Norris?' I ask tenderly in my frail voice.

'What I said to you on the plane, that's the way it is and that's the way it's going to stay... nothing will ever happen between us again. I thought you understood that...'' he explains without hurting me.

'What?' I ask, hurt.

'You know why... just try to relax now and if anything happens, I'll be next door...' he tries to change the subject.

"Why are you helping me if you don't want me anymore?" I look hurt.

"Try to relax now..."

'I asked you a question,' I reply irritably.

'You messed up, amalia...but I'm not going to see my best friend's sister get molested without the guy getting his comeuppance...' he says in a calm voice.

"So I'm just your best friend's sister now?" I ask, deeply hurt.

''That will be the case in the future, yes...''

'wow...next project chopped off...who's next? Maria...'' I ask disappointed.

'Stop talking shit just because you know you fucked up...' his voice comes back.

'I never want to speak to you again...you're dead to me...'

'From enemies to lovers...and lovers to strangers...' he whispers in a weak voice, leaving the bathroom.

I slam the door behind him and slide onto the floor. Tears were already rolling.

''ahhhhhhh'' I scream in pain and tears.

'Good morning,' Charles says as he sees me running down the stairs the next morning.

Maria, Lewis and Lando were sitting there as well. All three raised their heads.

''Are the painkillers in the cupboard?'' I ask Lewis absently.

'Yes,' he replied curtly.

I swallowed two of the painkillers with a glass of water. One for the pain in my face and one for my broken heart.

''Are you okay so far?'' Lewis asked me worriedly as I sat down next to Charles.

'Yeah, I'm okay,' I reply quietly.

Lando and I pay no attention to each other.

'I think a doctor should have a look at your face,' Charles suggested gently.

'I said I was okay...' I repeated myself softly.

'Listen to the others and don't be so stubborn...' his voice suddenly comes out, his eyes looking out.

Without a reaction, I rest my head on Charles' shoulder.

'What happened between you two? Yesterday you needed him and now you're not even talking to each other...'' asks Lewis, who is as confused as the rest.

"Nothing important..." he replies uninterestedly.

"Amalia?" my brother addresses me.

'I'm not good enough for the famous fuckboy...' I say, my eyes also staring outwards.

'Don't call me that...' he warns me in an arrogant voice.

'Okay, come down here...'

'Don't worry bro, there's nothing going on between us and never again. That was my biggest mistake,' he says and looks at me now.

Rising to my feet, I walk upstairs, tears leaving my eyes again.

I can't sleep at night, which is why I leave my room. Lost in thought, I stare at his closed bedroom door, not moving a muscle. Suddenly it opens and a woman steps out and looks at him with a smile. Lando is only wearing pants and she has a hickey on her neck. I stood there rooted to the spot. He kissed her in front of me, knowing full well that I was standing there. The woman then left the apartment.

"What are you looking at?" he asked rudely.

'I must have been really important to you, huh?' I asked tearfully and closed my bedroom door from the inside.
