We can't be friends/Lando Norris

Chapter 26 (🌶️)

~Time skip to Miami GP media day~

After my latest medical check up, I was finally able to drive again. Would I be a bit insecure? Sure, maybe. But it's my job and I'm confident in myself. At least that's what I constantly reminded myself off.

"Lan, are you ready to go?"

"Yes love. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes", I quickly pecked his cheek before he pulled me into a real kiss right away.

"What was that?"

"What?", I scowled.

"I want another kiss", he frowned. "A proper one"

"Maybe if you win", I smirked before making my way out of the hotel.

He gave my butt a light squeeze before opening the door for me. 

"Bet"

The sun was shining bright when we arrived at the paddock. I wasn't usually a fan of the American GPs but the atmosphere was unmatched and the livery's always good. Although Ferrari did disappointed I've got to be honest.

"One word about the Ferrari livery?", I asked Lando.

"Can I be honest?", he whispered while I nodded.

"Terrible" he laughed out before we both parted our ways to the team garages.

Before I entered the team garage I passed by Tea.

"Ella!", she yelled out.

"No way, heyyy", I said excited.

"So it's getting serious between you and Danny? Are you finally enjoying the girlfriend lifestyle?", I laughed.

"Of courseeee", she rolled her eyes.

"Sorry for not keeping up lately, I'll make up for it i promise. Girls trip soon?"

"100% But you know, should we take the boys?"

"You know what, we should. I'll call you okay, I have to go the media panel you already know", I rolled my eyes.

"We will talk, love you", she gave me a hug.

"Bye, love you too", I hugged her back.

When entering the garage, I quickly talked to my parents before meeting my PR manager.

"You know the drill, nothing about contracts and avoid private things, for the love of god."

"No need to be rude about it", I mumbled before quickly dressing in some Mercedes team merch.

I was rushing to the media panel, happy about finally sitting down with the others and being close to racing again. Today I was paired up with Lando, Carlos and Lance.

Lance Stroll

After all those incidents with him, I personally really don't know how to deal with this guy.

I greeted everyone with a huge, earning and even longer one from Lando while hearing quiet "awwws" from the fans.

A bright smile formed on my face.

"So Ella, we're here with Lance Stroll, who you had a lot of issues with in the past. Care to comment on that?"

I kept myself together trying not to roll my eyes, as I felt Landos hand on my leg, trying to calm me down.

"Yes, actually. First I want to state that you might want to phrase that a little differently. I do not have any issues with Lance. This is purely him doing his job even if it might lead to conflicts sometimes but in no way do I hold any sort of grudge against him", I answered containing a frown.
