Problematic || Lando Norris x reader

Monaco evening

[Y/n] ran her hands through her wet hair again. "I'm gonna need to wash all the salt away. It's bad for the hair."

"Need some help with that?" Lando asked playfully.

The girl didn't seem to catch on his innuendo. "No, I'll just get in the shower and wash my hair, it's no biggie."

"Are you angry with me?"

"What? No, of course not!" She slapped his arm in a friendly manner.

"Okay, great, then I was thinking if you'd like to-"

Lando's sentence was cut short as [Y/n] surprised him with an unexpected attempt to make him collapse back into the water.

However, rule number one when it comes to Formula One drivers is their reflexes are always razor-sharp. Lando reacted instantly, catching [Y/n] as she lunged towards him.

"What do you think you're doing, schatteke?" Lando teased as he held [Y/n] securely in his arms.

"Tried to pay you back," [Y/n] laughed, "forgot how quick you are."

"Forgot I'm a racing driver?" He cocked his head to the side. Their faces were inches apart.

"Not hard to forget when I see you once every few months."

"Wow, I didn't realize I'm that easy to forget. You know, girls usually say the opposite."

[Y/n] laughed at this joke, but deep down something stinged her. Some weird emotion she wasn't familiar with.

"Anyway, you were saying something before I decided to attack you." She changed the topic. "And by the way can you put me down?"

"Nope, I can't put you down."

"I don't want your big muscles to get tired." She said in a teasing tone.

"Trust me, schatteke, I lift way more in the gym on a daily basis."

"So... what were you saying before my pathetic attack?"

"Oh, yeah, that. I was going to ask if you'd like to go out somewhere. Not like a club, I meant like a restaurant."

"Sounds like a plan." [Y/n] replied with a smile, her previous moment of unease fading. "What time?"

"In the evening, let's say. You're staying at my place so whenever you're ready."

"What about Zoe?"

[Y/n] didn't want to leave Zoe alone in Lando's apartment, she thought it'd be better to invite her to go with them. However it didn't match Lando's plans.

"She can stay at my place. I have video games, gym stuff, the DJ set so she can do whatever she wants." He offered.

"Are you sure? I mean, she's a stranger to you."

"But she's your friend. I trust you."

"Alright then. If you trust me." She gave him a smile.

"Besides she has to relax after the beach." Lando laughed, but [Y/n] didn't understand why.

"What do you mean?"

Lando pointed in Zoe's direction. She was now standing and having what seemed to be an argument with a man.

"What the hell?" [Y/n] said. "Do you know him?"

"Nope." Lando replied. "But it seems like they aren't having a nice chat."

"Then why aren't we doing anything?" And with that [Y/n] rushed to help her friend. Well, as quick as the water allowed her. If it wasn't for Lando, she would've fell a few times on the way.
