Bad Reputation

17.

I watched the race in his garage. I met his trainer, his boss, Oscar was nice as well.

But my heart was beating extremely fast the entire time.
I've never been to such a big event.

I was used to a lot of drunk people together in one room. I wasn't used to this.
I was nothing special, I was just a bartender.

He did an amazing job, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"He will do some interviews now, so you can come to the hospitality if you want?" His trainer said. "Yeah sure"

So that's what we did. I waited for him in his hospitality.

And let me tell you, it was boring. I hated waiting and doing nothing.

I got up, walked around the hospitality a bit, until I found the VIP section, I think it was called the paddock club.

It was somewhere Sav and her dad would be. They wouldn't even watch the race.

But it had a bar, and lots of drinks, so I felt at home too.

"Can I have a Manhattan please?" I asked the girl behind the bar. "Uh, I don't know how to make that" she said.

"She's useless, she doesn't know how to make anything" a guy next to me said. I turned my head to him, an older guy who probably had a little dick.

So he tried to bring this girl down.

"Do you have whiskey and vermouth?" I asked her. She nodded. "Perfect, let me show you"

And there I was again, behind the bar, making my own drink.

"What did you want?" I looked at the older guy. "An old fashioned" he replied.

"Ah classic, just like you" I mumbled. It was a pretty easy drink, so I showed the girl how she could make them.

It kinda surprised me they would hire someone who couldn't even make easy cocktails.

"Thanks uh-" she looked at me. "Francesca" I said, sipping from my drink. "I am Kelcey thank you so much for helping me"

We talked for a while until Lando walked in. A few heads snapped in his direction, so I guess he didn't come up here a lot.

"Found you" he kissed my cheek, nodded at Kelcey quickly. She turned red in a second.

It was clear that he didn't hook up with every girl here, like he did back home.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes" I said, finishing my drink. "I hope to see you soon Kelcey" I smiled at her.

But hopefully for her, she would find another job soon, because it didn't seem as if she liked this.

Not at all.

I went back with Lando to his room after the race, even though I had my own room.
I wanted to spend some time with him before I had to go back to Monaco.

Unfortunately he wouldn't be back in Monaco soon, he had a lot of races coming up, so we didn't know when we would see each other again.

He took a shower, ordered food and crawled in bed with me.

He was acting a little weird since I've been here. A little more disconnected.

And I didn't know why. Was he jealous because some drivers knew me? Was he already bored of me? Did he regret inviting me?

"Thank you for today, it was amazing" I smiled, which made him smile as well. He opened his arms, gesturing me to cuddle him.

Yes I definitely needed that.

"Thank you for coming, I absolutely enjoyed having you here" he wrapped his arm around me, kissed the top of my head.

He was acting so different in public - definitely a little stand-offish.
But when we were together, just the two of us, he was so sweet, so cuddly, so amazing.

"So you're going back to Monaco?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah I have to work"

"Okay" he said softly. "I would like to get to know you better though, will you wait for me in Monaco?"

"Is this your way of asking not to hook up with other people?" I asked, turning my body to him and looking up at him.

"Definitely" he chuckled a little. "You don't hook up with other dudes"

"And you don't kiss other girls" I added.

"Only you Frankie" he whispered, pressed his lips against mine. He pecked my lips a couple of times before deepening the kiss.

My heart started beating faster as his tongue brushed against mine.

I couldn't get enough of him.

"That's all you're getting" he smiled as he backed away. "That's all I am getting?" I pouted.

His kisses were so good, definitely wanted more of that.

"You have to wait" he mumbled. But the more he looked into my eyes, the more he leaned closer again. "Okay one more" he said before pressing his lips on mine.

It was definitely way too soon to call each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
But I liked this. I was up to getting to know him and only him.

I liked it even more that he wanted to be exclusive with me too.
