dangerous curves -Lando Norris (English Version)

Part 52: burst

When silence met us, Maria, Alexandra and I also went upstairs. They were all standing in the hallway. His face looked as angry as it did regretful. Lewis and Charles looked at me with pity.

''What happened?'' Maria interrupted the silence.

He shows us his face. My heart sank. Her lipstick was on his lips.

''amalia..please...'' Lando takes steps towards me.

Immediately I blocked, followed by steps ,away from him.

''she kissed me..I didn't mean it..please believe me...'' he spoke again, on the verge of tears.

Footsteps followed to the back.

''Leave me alone...'' I say, my voice shaky, almost losing my mind.

''Dearest...'' he said now in tears.

''I thought it was over between you two...'' Lewis intervened.

Taking a deep breath, I wiped away my tears.

''I'm sorry, Lewis...'' I say.

Turning around, I leave the apartment, his voice calling my name behind me. I'd run so far that I'd had enough.

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

In a summer dress, the wind flitted over my body on Monaco's beach. Maria, Lewis, Charles, Alexandra and Lando were there too. We spread out our blankets and stretched out. My thoughts kept wandering, but I couldn't get this image out of my mind, the lipstick on his lips. Lando also left me alone, which I thought was a good thing. In my bikini, I sat down on the blanket, pulled out my book and opened it.

''Do you want to play with us?'' Charles asks me.

''All good...I'll read a bit.'' I respond, my eyes scanning over him for a brief moment - the sight of him unbearable, his broken form, staring into space.

''Amalia?'' a familiar voice sounded to my right.

I raised my head. I recognized him immediately. Risen, I looked towards him.

''matteo?'' I asked gently.

''Good to see you...'' he says softly, smiling at me.

''I think so too...what are you doing here?'' I reply kindly.

''I'm here with my buddies...'' he says softly and turns sideways, pointing at his buddies.

I smile slightly at them. Matteo also greets my friends. He says hello to him too, but Lando is anything but friendly.

''What? Still scared of me? Lando says unkindly as they shake hands.

Matteo avoids him immediately.

''What a wimp...Amalia, not a good choice...'' Lando continues to tease.

''Did someone ask your opinion? I think Amalia can speak for herself...'' Matteo now reacts just as pissed off.

Lando stands up, my eyes fall on his muscular torso.

''Watch your mouth, asshole...you don't understand no...'' Lando threatens him.

''Can you stop arguing about my sister for once? None of you assholes are getting her...Matteo better go now...'' Lewis' rough voice rings out.

A stare forms between the two of them. Men. Matteo broke it off and returned to his buddies.

''You really are the biggest asshole I know...'' I say.

''Excuse me? I just protected you from that macho man...who knows what he would have asked of you...if you had been alone...'' he breathes back at me.

''I can take care of myself just fine...by the way, where's Luisa?'' I respond bitchily, and he could see the pain in my eyes.

''amalia...'' his voice sinks into regret.

''He would never do something like that to me...''

''God damn it, she kissed me!'' he raises his voice.

''A kiss is a kiss...'' I respond.

''Like when you made out with Charles at the party?'' he says nastily.

I give him a slap.

''Are we going back to the old patterns?'' he asks with a slight grin.

''What? You've been making out with her? Alexandra's voice can be heard in the background opposite Charles.

Alexandra leaves the beach, followed by Charles.

''You manage to break every connection, congratulations asshole...'' I say, shaking my head, sitting down next to Maria.

''You two are so exhausting...'' Lewis says, not thrilled with the whole situation.

''Thank you...'' I say, all the more pissed off.

''Get a grip on this, it's really unbearable...you're both adults, so act like it, damn it,'' says Lewis.

''Tell him that and not me,'' I respond bitchily.

''Don't be so bitchy all the time, amalia..you have to give in sometimes.'' says Lewis, unenthusiastically.

''Exactly...'' responds his arrogant voice in the background.

''Shut the fuck up...'' I say rather nastily, reaching for my book.

''amalia Hamilton!'' Lewis raises his voice again.

Not reacting, I immerse myself in my book.

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

Charles's sighing breath brings me back to reality.

''Is everything all right?'' Maria asks him.

''No, she just won't believe me...'' Charles says hurt, which you could see in his eyes.

''I'm really sorry, Charles...I didn't mean to...'' Lando apologizes to him.

''Charlie...let me talk to her...'' I raised my voice now.

''I don't know, amalia...I don't think she wants to see you...'' Charles replied.

''Let me try...woman to woman...'' I said to him.

''all right...''

''Where is she now?'' I asked him, pulling my summer dress over my bikini.

''On a bench by the parking lot...'' Charles responds.

''I'll make it up to you, I promise,'' I whisper to Charles, my lips touching his head briefly.

My path led to Charles' description, adding Alexandra, who was sitting on the lonely bench in tears.

''Alexandra?'' I ask cautiously, slowly moving closer to her.

Her wet eyes turn to me.

''oh hey Amalia...'' she says with a smile, quickly wiping the tears from her face.

''Here...'' I say gently and hand her a handkerchief.

Grateful, she grasps it with her gentle fingers.

''Sit down, amalia...'' came her calm voice.

Following her tender voice, I sit down next to her on the bench.

''Alexandra...I don't know what Charles told you...'' I began.

''When did this happen between you? And why did it happen? she interrupted me.
