Dirty Little Secret/Lando Norris

15. Saudi here I come

The rest of the week was so much fun, and it went by too fast. I haven't heard of Lando for the rest of the week and I also did not try and contact him again. The night before we were flying to Saudi we had a family dinner at my favourite restaurant and I was happy I could spend this time with my parents. I was lying in bed and looking at Instagram, there was more pictures of Lando and Magui, I guess they are dating, and I decided I will be happy for him, he deserve someone that wants to be with him in private and public, because I don't think I will ever be able to give him that.

I said good bye to my parents and me, Carlos and Rebecca drove to the airport and we flew together. The flight went by faster than I hoped and I was nervous, there is a dinner again and then I will be finding out who I am working for this week. I was busy getting ready deciding what to wear, I decided on a nice green cocktail dress. I met Rebecca and Carlos in the lobby and I was nervous, will Lando bring Magui? I was silent the whole ride and we arrived at the restaurant. We got out and the hostess showed us where the rest of the drivers are. I got something to drink and just watch everyone, my eyes landed on Lando and he was already looking at me. I looked away when I heard my name. "Isabella right?" a women say and I nod

"Hi, I am Charlotte PR Manager for McLaren" she introduced herself and my heart sank so I am working for McLaren this week. "Nice to meet you" I say shaking her hand. She started talking and telling me what they want from me and she ask if I will be willing to also do a photo shoot with Lando and Oscar, I agreed and she looked happy. "Okay then I will see you tomorrow in the garage" she say and I nod, she walked away and I walked to the bar ordering another drink. "So you're working for McLaren this week?" I hear his voice and I look at him leaning against the bar looking me up and down. "I am" I say looking back at the bartender, thanking him for my drink.

"Bella, we need to talk" he say and I just look at him, "there is nothing to say Lando, I know how you feel, you know how I feel. Let's just be friends okay." I say and he frowns. "Bella" "No, Lando go find your girlfriend okay, I am here to work that is it." I say walking to the table and sat down next to Rebecca that is looking at me with a frown. The rest of the dinner Lando did not try and talked to me again and I was relieved, I also saw he is alone, so he did not bring Magui. Everyone went to a club afterwards I declined saying I was tired and the car took me back to the hotel, I made sure my equipment was all ready for tomorrow and then I got ready for bed, my phone pinged and I looked at it.

Lando: She is not my girlfriend we are just friends, the girl I want as my girlfriend doesn't want to be.

I did not text him back I was tired of fighting and wondering about me and Lando, maybe we are destine to be just friends. I woke up early and went for a run, the city of Saudi was beautiful and I was blessed that I get to see so many nice countries. I ran back to the hotel and went up to my room to get ready for the day. A whole day with Lando, I did not know how to handle that. I got dresses grabbed my stuff and left to get a taxi to go to the paddock. I scanned my pass and walk to the McLaren garage, I see Charlotte and I gave her some ideas I want to start with and she was happy, she left and I took out my camera starting to take pictures of the cars and the engineers and mechanics. I realized I was hungry so I went to hospitality to grab something to eat. I ate and walked back to the garage. When I walked to my camera I saw him standing with Oscar.

He looks my way and said something to Oscar and then walked to me. "Morning" he say "Morning" I greet back taking more pictures, he step in front of the camera and I look up, "Can we please talk now?" he ask and I sigh and nodded my head. We walked to his driver's room and I sat on the chair that is there. I waited for him to talk, "Bella, Magui is not my girlfriend." he say and I look up. "Does she know that?" I ask him and he bites his lip. "Yeah, I mean we are friends." I just nod and looked at my hands again. "I am sorry for how I acted that last night I saw you." he say and I just nod not talking I don't have anything to say. "What do you want Lando, I need to go take more photos." I say finally looking at him. He walks to me and kneeled in front of me taking my hands. "Bella I need to know we are okay." he say and I look at him in disbelief, does he want to go on sleeping together like nothing happened. I stood up and nod. "We are fine Lando, we are friends okay, now I am going to go do my job." I say walking out of his driver's room straight to my camera.

I decided to walk to the other garages just to get away from Lando a bit and I was taking photos the whole time. I walked to my brother and we spoke a little bit, he told me they are all going to party tonight to celebrate the start of the weekend and I don't have a choice I have to go. I just nodded and walked around again. I walked back to McLaren and I told Charlotte I am going to go back to the hotel so that I can start editing some of the photos and she nodded, "See you tomorrow" she say and I waved at her, I can see Lando watching me and I walked out of the paddock and I decided to walk to the hotel it's not that far. I got to the hotel and started editing some of the photos I took, I must say it came out wonderful. I was just sending the pictures when I got a message.

Nate: I see your F1 boyfriend got another girl, looks like the problem is you Bell not the men in your life.

Me: Leave me the fuck alone, what is your problem?

Nate: I want you back Bell and I am not stopping till I have you back.

Me: Never going to happen, go to Lola she is not an immature child that still needs to grow up.

Nate: Bell, I miss you, I will see you this weekend

Me: I am not at home so good luck

Nate: I know guess where I am?

I receive a photo of Nate at an airport is he coming here, no way what the fuck. I left my phone deciding to ignore him and I got up and went to get ready for the club tonight. What the hell is Nates problem, I have to tell Carlos, I thought. I finish getting dress and walked to the lobby where I got my brother and Rebecca. "Carlos, we need to talk." I tell him as soon as we were in the car and he nods I showed him the messaged and the photo and he raised his eyebrows. "So he is coming here?" "Looks like it I don't know what to do we are not even together." I say biting my nails. "I will organise with security that he is not allowed in the paddock okay." my brother say and I nod, "Thank you" "You need to be careful this weekend Isa, try not to be alone okay." he say and I nod biting my nails.
