Dirty Little Secret/Lando Norris

26. Race weekend

I walked to the paddock the next day, it was the first day of practise and my parents is flying in tomorrow. I went to the Red Bull garage and started to get everything ready to take photos. The rest of the morning went fast and I have not seen my brother or Lando. I decided to go get lunch and when I stepped into the hospitality I see Lando and Magui sitting there, I roll my eyes and went to get a wrap, I decided to go eat in the garage and I just when I wanted to walk out I hear Lando. "Bella, I want to introduce you to Magui." I could not believe he had the nerve, now I must meet her not to look like a bitch. I turn around and smile. "Hey I am Isabella" I say shaking her hand and she also smiles introducing herself. "So you take photos of all the races, I saw your photos of Lando and Oscar you are talented." she say "Thank you, but I really must go." I say and she nods. I turn around to leave and I hear Lando telling her he will be back.

I kept on walking, Lando catching up. "Why did you do that?" I ask stopping and turning to him, he smiles and fold his arms. "Do what?" he ask smugly and I roll my eyes. "Introduced us?" I say and he nods. "Because I want you to see we are just friends." he say and I laugh. "So what you want me to hang out with you and her?" I ask him and he nods. "You are fucking crazy, you know she was in your house before I even was? And you call that friendship?" "How do you know she was in my house?" he ask confused. "I saw her Instagram." I say and he nods biting his lip. "I got to go." I say and I just walked away, I sat in the garage eating my wrap, when Max came and sat with me. "Hey" I say and he smiles. "So what is up with you and Lando?" he ask and I am surprise. "Nothing why?" he shake his head and laugh. "I saw you arguing and just people in love argued like that" he say and I shake my head looking down

"No, he is just annoying" I say and Max laugh, he stood up and walk away, I heard stories about Max being a gossip and I guess it's true. I finish for the day and I walk to the hotel, I got to my room and started editing the photos and send it to Victoria, I got some good shots I thought to myself, just then someone knock. I open it and see my brother and Rebecca. I greeted Rebecca but ignored my brother. "So we are going out, go get ready you are coming with." Rebecca say and I shake my head. "No thanks, I still have assignments that I need to finish." I say and my brother roll his eyes. "Come on Isa, you can't hide in this room the whole weekend." he say and I frown. "I am not hiding." "Yes you are, now go get ready we are going out." he say pushing me to the room. I roll my eyes and went to get ready giving up on arguing. I walk out and they smile. "If I fail a class I am telling Papa it's your fault." I say pointing at my brother and he laugh.

"Yeah, yeah daddy's girl" he say and I pretend to be shock, we walk to the lobby and we decided to walk to the club because it was not far. We entered the club and walked to the VIP section, I see most of the drivers are there and my brother went to get us something to drink, I see Max and I walked to him, he was standing next to a lady. "Bella, meet my girlfriend Kelly." he say and I smile, "Nice to meet you Kelly" I say and she smiles back. "So you are taking photos for Red Bull this weekend?" she ask and I nod. "Yeah but Max isn't making it easy always so serious" I say bumping his shoulder and he look shocked. Me and Kelly just laugh, I went back to my brother and Rebecca and soon we were on the dance floor, I was enjoying myself.

I haven't seen Lando or Magui and we have been here for a while now, I was talking to Alex and Rebecca when I see them, she was holding on to his arm, and I see him looking around, he looks at me and then he smiles I look down and just kept on talking to Alex and Rebecca. After a while I can see Magui and Lando laughing and having a good time, they were with Max and Kelly, I decided I cannot watch this and I told Rebecca I am leaving. "Why?" she ask and I lean in so she can hear me. "I am tired and I still have assignments like I said." I say and she nods, I walk to my brother and said good night. "Will you be okay, going to the hotel alone?" he ask and I nod. I walked out of the club and walked to the hotel. I dress in something comfortable and take my laptop and started an assignment. My phone ping and I see Lando's name.

LAN: Where did you go?

I roll my eyes deciding if I want to answer.

Me: Back to the hotel

LAN: Why?

I decided to ignore him and I finish working on the assignment and then went to bed, I was tired and tomorrow is going to be a long day with my parents coming. I woke up the next morning and went for a run first, I stood next to a pond looking at the ducks and I decided to go back and get ready for the day. I showered and got dressing grabbing all my equipment and I walk to the paddock, I walked into the Red Bull garage and see Victoria. "Bella, wow that photos is great thanks, keep it up." she say and I smiled. I took photos for the rest of the morning and by lunch time I got a message from my brother to say my parents is here and to meet them at hospitality. I walk there and I smiled when I see my dad and mom, I have missed them.

"Mi. nova" my dad greet me with his pet name, it means my girl and I hug him and then my mom, we sat down and started talking, I told them I was at Red Bull this weekend and they nod. We decided to go for dinner and I told them I must go. "Isa, you can invite Lando to dinner, if you want." my mom say as I stood up, I frown and look at my brother. "No, I'm good mama." I say turning around and walked to the Red Bull garage. The practise race started not long after and I took a lot of great photos, I let the Red Bull team pose and then the drivers, I even got Christian to take photos. I was packing up my equipment. "Isabella, thanks for the great photos and making my team so comfortable." Christian say and I smile. "My pleasure and I enjoy taking photos, so to me this is not a job." I say and he smiled we said goodbye and I left for the Ferrari garage.

I walked in and see my parents and Lando laughing together, I rolled my eyes and went to stand next to them. I can feel Lando's eyes on me but I ignore him and when I see they are just going to stand and talk to him some more, I told them I will meet them in the lobby of the hotel at 7. I hugged my dad and then my mom and I left for the hotel, I still need to edit the photos before I go to dinner and that is what I was doing until I had to get ready.
