dangerous curves -Lando Norris (English Version)

Part 51: reassurance

''Please tell me you weren't texting with him earlier...'' his fragile voice sounded behind me as I was standing in front of my mirror in my nightdress.

Quietly, he closes the door behind him, his steps coming closer to me until I can feel him behind me.

''He wrote to me...'' I say quietly, looking at him through the mirror.

He closes his eyes for a moment. Then I turn to him.

''Look at me...'' I whisper, caught by his broad halves.

Immediately, his eyes catch sight of the darkness of my bedroom again.

''He asked me out, lando...'' I confess to him.

''Oh fuck...'' his broken voice sounds, his eyes sliding downwards.

''what did you answer?''

''I haven't given him an answer yet...'' I respond.

''Are you going to answer him?'' he asks, raising his gaze again.

''I don't know, lando...'' I slowly become.

''Do you like him?'' he asks painfully.

His red eyes only become more prominent.

''does it matter?''

''To me yes...I couldn't bear to see you with another man...I know that's selfish but I can't stand to watch...'' he says, leaning his head against my chest.

Gently, I hug him, his hands cupping my waist.

''I don't know how to decide...what if I wait for you but we could never be together and it could be easier with him?...''

''But what if he's the wrong choice?'' his voice rings out.

''I don't know either...'' I respond gloomily.

His head straightens up again, our eyes getting lost in each other again.

''Please...I don't...'' he whispers, not realizing that he is gently pushing me against the wall to the right of the mirror.

''And what if I should just try it?'' I respond.

''Please...'' his voice starts to tremble.

I gently run my hand over his lips to calm him down.

''It would break me...''

''How do you think I feel now that there's always a woman sleeping in your bed next to you?

''She's just a friend...''

''I should be lying next to you in this bed...not her...'' I say, starting to get emotional.

''please don't blame me for this now..she needs my help..nothing more...'' he tries to reassure me.

''You let her move in here...and besides, she's beautiful and super polite...'' I get upset and break away from him.

Restless and turned away from him, I run my hands through my hair.

''Dear...'' he says and hugs me from behind.

''I'm sorry...I'll sleep on the couch...okay?'' he whispers.

Closing my eyes, I concentrate only on the hug, turning to face him in his arms. I buried my head in his chest and he held me tightly. For minutes we just stood there, focusing on the touch between each other.

''Are you okay?'' his voice sounded low.

''Yes...'' I release my face from his chest.

''And with Matteo?'' he hoped.

''I'm not going on a date with him...'' I say quietly.

He kissed my forehead warmly.

''but I can't wait for you forever, lando...'' I add, my eyes meeting his again.

''I know, dear...I know...'' he says, taking me in his arms again.

--------------------

Waking the next morning, the bright rays of the sun shine through my room. Awake and uplifted, I find my way out of my room. But a voice from his room opposite mine urges me to go to the kitchen downstairs. I creep up slowly.

''So Carla, my plan is...I will play the tender and scared girl until he takes care of me...and then I will take advantage of the moment to kiss him...he will soon forget about this strange girl...'' she says on her cell phone.

Shocked, I took a step back. Down followed my step.

''lando? Do you have a minute?'' I ask him, still shocked, while Charles, Alexandra, Lewis and Maria sit next to him.

''Um...sure.'' he says, surprised.

Lando and I walked over to a quiet spot in the apartment.

''Is everything okay?'' he raised his voice.

''I heard something I didn't like...I just hope you believe me just once...'' I reply , nervously playing with my hands.

His hands on mine calmed me down for a moment as we looked into each other's eyes.

''What did you hear?'' he asked gently.

''I heard Luisa...she said that she's faking for you, you're falling for her...and at the right time she wants to kiss you...she wants to break us up...'' I tell him, still nervous.

''amalia...'' he says skeptically and pulls away from my hands.

''I knew you wouldn't believe me...'' I respond disappointedly.

''Why would she say something like that?'' he asks, still skeptical.

''Because she wants you, but she knows you're still attached to me...'' I reply, catching sight of his shining eyes.

''I talked to her about it and we both agreed that we were just friends...''

''Until she sits on your lap again sometime...'' I respond.

''That's not fair, amalia...'' he shakes his head.

''That's not fair? And how are you behaving towards me right now? You trust a one-night stand more than you trust me? What do you call that? I say, lowering my voice.

''I'll talk to her...and make her realize that you're the only one for me...agreed?'' he responds.

My heart smiled inwardly. Slowly, I looked up. Soft fingertips reached under my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes even more.

''Do you agree, dear?'' came from his lips again.

''Okay...'' a small smile escapes me.

He briefly and gently wraps his arms around me before leaving me alone so that no one would catch us. Shortly afterwards, I joined the others in the kitchen, gathered around the table. Luisa and Lando disappeared upstairs, but my gut feeling wasn't good.

''Are you okay, Ama?'' my brother asks me as I stare holes in the wall.

''Yeah...I'm fine.'' I respond as we suddenly heard loud voices from upstairs.

I looked into confused faces. Charles and Lewis made their way upstairs.
