Problematic || Lando Norris x reader

A day with Carlito

"Basically, he told me I'd look good pregnant."

[Y/n] and Zoe were telling each other about one another's date as soon as they woke up. Turned out Marco only took Zoe for a walk around Monaco. It wasn't bad, she liked it and that was what mattered the most.

"Girl." Zoe remarked. "Girl. That man's down bad for you."

"Nah, we were both tipsy, he didn't mean it. I bet he doesn't even remember it now." [Y/n] denied. The whole previous evening seemed like a weird dream to her.

"You know what they say - a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts."

"That's so not true. Trust me, I have experience with drunken nonsense."

Zoe laughed at her friend's comment. "But at least agree that it was a date."

"It wasn't a date, Zoe. It was an... outing. Two friends catching up."

"Friends who clearly have a crush on each other!"

"He told me he doesn't date."

"You asked?!"

"Wouldn't you?"

"Why would you care if he's dating around if you don't like him romantically?"

Zoe's questioning gaze made [Y/n] pause for a moment, considering these words.

"I guess... I just wanted to know where we stand, you know?" [Y/n] replied, her voice slightly uncertain. "But it doesn't matter anyway. We stand as just friends."

Zoe raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Sure, just friends. With the guy who thinks you'd look good pregnant."

[Y/n] rolled her eyes, feeling a flush of embarrassment creeping up her cheeks. "Can we just drop it, please? It's not a big deal."

"Sure, we can drop it." Zoe made a gesture of closing her mouth with a zipper.

The girls changed the topic of their discussion, now talking about their plans for the day.

Suddenly, they heard knocking on the closed door.

"We're not naked, come in!" [Y/n] shouted.

The door opened and Lando walked in. He was dressed, already ready for the day. Although he didn't mention that he had plans.

"Hey, I'm going for breakfast with Carlos," he announced, "I was wondering if you guys would like to tag along."

"That'd be great." The girls replied in unison.

With Lando's sudden invitation, the girls rushed to get ready. That didn't take long and soon the trio was leaving Lando's apartment.

As they headed out to breakfast, [Y/n] found it hard to ignore a certain feeling she had. She felt a bit uneasy, it could've been related to Lando's presence after yesterday's evening.

On the way, as the trio walked to the restaurant to meet up with Carlos, [Y/n] didn't speak at all. Zoe and Lando were having a conversation, but [Y/n] didn't pay attention either. She was in her own thoughts.

There was nothing different about Lando today. He was his normal self. Why was he his normal self and [Y/n] couldn't explain to herself what happened yesterday?

It was only a kiss on the top of her head, but it was unnecessary for a friend. Why did Lando do it? Was it the alcohol? Did he even remember it?

Thankfully, as they approached the entrance of the restaurant, so did Carlos, which helped [Y/n] abandon her thoughts.
