Part 6

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when my parents knock on my hotel door to get me to leave for the dinner . The moment I open the door I see all of them waiting for me. Including Max and Lando. We all just stood there for a few seconds, them gasping at the revealing dress I'm wearing, and me at them still thinking about it and not knowing what to do regarding Lando texts. I thaught about telling him we need to talk but I'm cut off by my mom.

"Wow honey you look amazing" my mom finally speaks after the silence

"Thanks, shall we?" I say as I turn around to close the door behind me.

I went in front of the guys, holding my mom by the arm while we were walking towards the elevator. I could feel a pair of eyes on me, it was warming my whole body. I knew my face turned red for sure, just thinking that maybe Lando was indeed looking at me from behind.

Trying to concentrate on my walking shouldn't be this hard. I swear I feel like the more I think about it the worse I'm walking. And of course as one does when you concentrate too much on a simple task, like walking, I stumbled.
I could hear chuckles behind me, and I could even feel the smirk on Lando's face as I was trying to get my walking pace back.

"Maybe you shouldn't wear heels that high" Max says

"Maybe you should mind your own business" I snap back jockingly

"Just saying, if you had on sneakers this wouldn't have happened. Who are you even trying to impress?"

My body goes insane again, I can feel I'm all red and embarrassed. Maybe subconsciously I really was trying to impress someone with this dress, and maaaaybe that someone happens to be sitting next to Max.

"You do know Ramiro isn't coming, right?" Lando chips in before I can give an answer.

"Haa, ha! Very funny!" I turn to give him an annoyed look. Which I shouldn't have done, because this causes me to stumble again on my dress, but this time, I fully fall onto the ground in front of the elevator. I fell on my knees, thank god my mom was still holding my arm as she made my fall less painfully by trying to hold me up.

My moms then picks me by my hand back up, while everyone was getting closer to help me get up as well.

"Honey, what's up with you? Forgot how to walk in heels? Or did you really get the hots for this Ramiro guy?"

"Wait Ramiro? Our ramiro? From McLaren?" My brother cuts us.

"Ok, I didn't 'get the hots' for anyone." I say while doing air quotes repeating my mom's weird phrasing. "He was just showing me the McLaren car and Mr. Norris here got the wrong idea" I add.

"You're right, my bad then" Lando finally says, with a tone like he truly means it.

The elevator got there exactly when I finished arranging my dress and hair after the fall. Perfect timing as one would say
