Italian Grand Prix – part 2

I got in the car with anxiety creeping at me, my mind still fighting the idea Logan could be the blackmailer. And knowing we would confront him just after this practice session made my stomach twist hurtfully.

The last thing I needed today was Carlos again, making my life harder than necessary. "Mate, is Carlos blind or what?“, I said to my race engineer as the Ferrari didn’t leave me any space on my fast lap. Every fucking race weekend he does some stupid shit like this. I have to talk to Lando about this, especially because we made up again … or something like this, so his best mate could finally stop defending him like a total idiot.

I had a nice trip through the gravel as well – a waterproof evidence of my sharp mind today. I really needed to get that talk with Logan over with but I didn’t know if Lando was in the right mood for such a delicate matter like this. We both didn’t get in the top 10 and Qualifying was later today so not the best outlook for us which frustrated him. He is a lot longer in this team than me and he wants to see consistantly good results eventually.

"Do you still want to talk to Logan now? We could do it later also, would be fine with me“, I asked him as we sat in his drivers room this time. "No, definitely not. This stands between us and I want it out of the way as soon as possible. Besides, I’m eager to rip the head off of little Logie-bear for torturing my boyfriend like this. Come on, let’s go“

With shaky legs I followed him to the Williams garage. I tried to talk him out of ripping anyones head off and suggested that we should approach him differently for the case he isn’t the blackmailer but all my words fell on deaf ears.

"Oi Logan we want to talk to you. Now. Where can we talk in private?“ Landos demanding tone made Logan flinch. "Ehm okay? Let’s go to my drivers room.“ We followed him and with every step I felt worse. My brain didn’t let myself look at Logan with anger but with gut-wrenching sadness.

As soon as we were in his room and he closed the door behind us Lando took a step forward and confronted him, "What were you thinking? You just filmed us like a pervert and then blackmailed my Osc, are you fucking crazy? I advise you not to stalk us in the future or I will go to the police, I swear.“

His words blurted out really quick and I could watch how Logans eyes grew wider and wider after every single one of them. "What? You two are together?“

Shit.

Lando and I looked at each other in disbelief. "No." "Yes." We answered at the same time which left an even more confused expression on Logans face. I said no just because I didn’t want to out him and technially we aren’t together at the moment. Lando seemed pretty offended by my answer but before I could explain myself to him someone stepped out of the bathroom next to us.

"What the fuck is going on here? You two are together?“, Alex asked. "Yes." "No." This time I said yes because I thought Lando is okay with it when he said it himself just before. The confusion between us grew bigger but it must be the general theme of this strange meeting because Logan had the same expression towards Alex.

"What are you even doing in my bathroom?“, he asked him incensed. "Your light is way better mate and I wanted to style my hair a bit because Lily is coming over for lunch. But the more important question is now, what is going on between these too?“ He pointed his finger at us, a nasty smile lingering on his face.

Lando rolled his eyes at him, "Save your bad jokes Albono and hold on for a second.“ He turned to me now, "We aren’t together?“

"You said no too.“

"After you said no.“

"I just said no because I thought you’d say no.“

"Wow they aren’t just together but an old married couple already, impressive“, Alex intervened. I let out a heavy sigh whereas Lando gave him a vicious look Alex chose to ignore, "So would you now care to explain what is going on and why you threatened poor Logan here?“ I looked over to Logan who infact seemed overwhelmed by the whole situation. I feel incredibly sorry for ever doubting him.
