dangerous curves -Lando Norris (English Version)

Part 58: come to light

Late at night, I arrived at my hotel room after the wedding had ended.

''Did everything work out with the pill?'' my phone received a message as I lay down exhausted on the wide hotel bed.

Matteo was already asleep in it. Talking to him about everything didn't happen. I didn't say another word to him. Should I tell Matteo everything and jeopardize my relationship with him? Escaping to the bathroom, I open my phone.

''Yes, it all worked out. I took it straight away...'' I texted Lando back.

''Thank god...and if you feel weird, write me...please...'' Lando answers me quickly.

''Sure thing, norris...'' I respond.

''I'm sorry...I shouldn't have let it come to this...'' he wrote back.

''Do you regret it yet...?'' I felt dejected.

''oh god, no dear...that's not what I meant. I meant I should have gotten a condom...I should have been more careful...'' he explained himself in his next text message.

''Please stop apologizing...it just happened...'' I quickly replied.

''Are you sure you're okay?"he texted back

''I promise you, norris...'' I wrote back.

''then I can sleep peacefully now..where are you sleeping?'' he replied.

''In a hotel near your apartment...''

''With Matteo, right?'' he replies.

I wish I could just answer the question with a simple no, but as always, the whole situation is complicated.

''Yes...but after the fight I haven't said a word to him...he's already asleep.'' I replied to Lando.

''Are you two coming over for breakfast tomorrow then?'' Lando replied, a little more relaxed than I had expected.

''I think so...good night,'' I wrote last.

''Sleep well and see you tomorrow...we should talk again in person tomorrow...'' he wrote to me.

With a smile, I put my phone away and got ready for bed.

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

''Good morning...'' greeted Lewis, myself and Matteo in a good mood.

I hugged Lewis and the rest warmly. I hadn't spoken much to Matteo. Both so stubborn to admit their own man's mistake. I smile gently at Lando without making it obvious.

''I'm going to the bathroom quick...'' I say to the others when I see Lando signal me to come up.

Walking up, I complete my way to his room.

''You look cute...'' he says as I push the door a little.

''Thank you...'' I respond softly.

His person raised, his bed, he approaches me. He gently touches my cheek.

''Are you all right? Do you feel something that doesn't feel right...?" he asks me anxiously.

My eyes lock onto his.

''I'm fine...I assure you, norris...'' I say back.

He gently embraces me and his lips capture my head.

''We should talk about...what's between us now...or rather, what do we make of it?'' he asks me gently.

Putting my face in front of his again, I look into his eyes.

''I'm still with Matteo, lando...'' I answer carefully.

''Are you planning to stay with him? Aren't you going to tell him?" he asks, more or less shocked.

''lando...you know how complicated this is...'' I respond.

He takes a step backwards.

''Complicated? We had sex and obviously we still love each other...what's complicated about it, Amalia?" Lando responds sternly.

''Please promise me you won't tell him...'' I ignore his question completely.

He lets out a disappointed breath.

''please norris...promise me...'' I raise my voice again.

''Okay...'' he says, running a hand through his hair.

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

''What do you do for a living?''Lando addresses Matteo, who is sitting opposite me and Matteo.

Leave it, Lando.

''I work in the same store as Amalia...in the designer store...I'm practically her boss,'' Matteo replies.

I look annoyed at Maria, who of course knew about everything that happened yesterday.

''So it's customary to sleep with colleagues?'' Lando asks gruffly.

Matteo's head rises quickly.

''Those are pretty private questions...'' he responds relaxed.

''No, tell me... how many other employees were there before Amalia?'' Lando becomes increasingly cheeky.

Matteo takes a deep breath. I give Lando a look that tells him to shut up, but of course he avoids my gaze.

''For the last time, you Matcho...it's none of your business...'' Matteo doesn't react so friendly anymore.

This is not going to end well.

''Oh, I forgot all about that. Amalia hasn't let you get close to her yet...you haven't even slept together yet...'' Lando continues to tease him with a proud grin.

I shake my head.

''Why does he know that?'' Matteo asks me sternly.

''Let's not discuss this here, Matteo...'' I try to ease the situation.

''Tell me the damn truth now...'' Matteo becomes less relaxed.

''Don't you dare raise your voice to her...'' Lando intervenes sternly, leaving his chair.

Matteo also looks at Lando now.

''Guys, please...'' I try to fix everything before it escalates too much.

''Are you going to tell him or me?'' Lando responds, followed by his gaze.

I was overcome with unease.

''okay, listen to me you fidget..I had her yesterday..I slept with your girlfriend last night...'' Lando tells him.

My eyes get wet.

''Amalia...tell me that's a joke...'' Matteo says.

At the same moment, Lewis comes into the kitchen.

''What's happened here?'' he notices the tense situation.

''Your sister laid your best friend last night...'' Matteo says nastily.

''Your fucking serious? ...'' Lewis responds disappointedly, with a hint of anger.

''Matteo...just give me a minute...'' I try to convince Matteo.

But instead of answering me, he quickly runs towards Lando and assaults him with punches. Lewis separated the two of them. Panic enveloped me. What had I done? Tears smeared my make-up. I grabbed Matteo's hand and pushed him into an undisturbed room.

''Please just listen to me...'' I say through my tears.
