Lizzie Jones

Lando steps into the elevator and we stand together in awkward silence as we wait for the doors to close. This cannot keep happening. And i cant keep being alone with him. Im in a relationship now- any feeling towards Lando live in the past. My eyebrows shoot up as he presses the emergency stop button.

Fuck

Lando Norris

I stood opposite her. Her hands were flat at her side, i was still trying to catch my breath from running before the doors closed. I was in a hoodie and there she was look beautiful as ever. Her hair hung loosely down her back, which i was lucky enough to see in the reflection of the elevator, since she had a backless dress.

"Lizzie just listen-" i try but shes shaking her head.

"Not now please. Don't complicate things. This-" she gestured between us "is never going to happen. What happened on the beach is a mistake"

"Lizzie stop pushing me away"

"You said you hated me"

"And you believed that?" I yell. I cant believe this, shes lying. Shes lying straight to my face. I start to walk towards her until her back hits the wall. My hands come up to cage her. I see her breaths becoming quick and her eyes darting anywhere but me.

"Lando" she said, pleading me to stay away, but i cant. I just cant when it comes to Lizzie.

Fuck this

I crash my lips onto hers, cupping her face with one hand, while the other slide around her back, pulling her closer to me. For a second her lips don't respond, frozen in shock, until she finally she does. I glide my tongue along her bottom lip, and she welcome it, parting her lips to allow my tongue to slip in. Her hands find their way to my hair, pulling me closer to her. I groan at the feeling, knowing shes got a hold on me. This is what i always dreamed of, maybe not in these circumstances- but hey, im not complaining. I put my hands on the back of her thighs, and wrap her legs around hips. As i roll my hips into hers, the friction between us makes her whimper and right then-i want top rip off that dress and fuck her. God i wanted to fuck her so bad. She responds to my action, rolling herself against my bulge in my sweats. She throws her head back and i take the opportunity to start sucking on that sweet spot that makes her moan. I stop to look at her, gazing at her smudged lipstick, rolled up dress, eyes closed shut. I wanted more- i needed more. But before i can do anything, she opens her eyes and the realisation sets in. She seems to be fighting between thoughts in her head. I put her down, and she moves away from me to press the emergency button. I just watch her, fixing her make up and facing the wall. It takes a while for the elevator to start back up, and she doesn't spare me a glance.

"No one can know about this" she finally speaks up, and i open my mouth, but realising i have no words, close it just as fast.

"And you need to stay away from me" now i had something to fucking say.

"Lizzie-come on you-"

"No. No, Charles and me and happily in a relationship and anything to do with us is going to ruin everything. My reputation, yours, my relationship"

"Your friendship you mean. You never loved him Lizzie. Why are you with him"

"Because I love him. I love him more than a friend. Thats something you will never experience" i don't understand. Friends don't kiss like we just did. You don't respond to a kiss like that if you love someone else.

"So what. That's it. That meant nothing to you? Again?"

"Again?"

"Don't play dumb with me Lizzie"

"Lando let's just forget this happened. Lets go back to hating each other"

"I could never hate you Lizzie"-

Lizzie Jones

This was pretty fucking hard. To convince someone when you're lying. That kiss was everything i wanted it to be like with Charles, but it was too late. Had this been maybe a week earlier, i wouldn't have tears waiting to fall in my eyes. I wouldn't have such a hard time looking at someone i wanted so badly. But the only way to make all this numb was to cut him out. To hate him again. Somehow.

With all this pressure im feeling, F1, Charles, Lando. I cant do it all, i have to let one go, and is sure as hell wasn't going to be my seat. I fucked up tonight. I fucked up bad. But i was going to take control for once and the only way to do that was to make Lando hate me. But i couldn't do that again, so cutting him off is the best option.

"Then Lando, don't call me, don't talk to me, stay away from me. Just Fuck off" a tear slipped down my cheek and his eyes went to it like a magnet. He went to brush it away but i slap his hand away.

"What don't you get?" I yell at him.

He turned around, pressed our floors number, and didn't turn back around.

Once we get there, he goes for the door but doesn't exit yet.

"I wanted to try, to try and get you back. Get back what we had years ago. I was ready to fuck Charles off, i was sure nothing could stand in my way. But i forgot that you were the only thing really standing in my way. But if you really want me to leave you alone. Then fine. But just know I'll never hate you Lizzie. I cant. Ive tried so many time but i just cant. So I'll wait for you. However long it takes. I'll be here" tears were collecting at the corners of his eyes.

"You cant wait around for me Lando" i tell him genuinely.

"Goodbye Lizzie" he walks out and the doors close.

"Goodbye Lando" i whisper to the door. I try and wipe my eyes as i wait for the elevator to hit the ground floor.

Don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry

I keep whispering this until the doors open. I see Charles standing there with a bouquet of roses, he smiles once he sees me, blindly unaware of the events that happened just minutes ago. I walk up to him and place a kiss on his cheek.

"I know you're not a fan of flowers, but i got these for Ferrari- i guess" i chuckle lightly, seeing him confused over the flowers.

Lando was right about one thing tonight,

this is friendship.

He extends his arm out for me to grab, and i walk out of the hotel. Out of this mess. out of Lando's life- again.
