Dirty Little Secret/Lando Norris

39. I am going home

I sat on the bed of the hotel Lando sitting next to me, we did not speak and I was so tired. "Are you going to tell me what happened?" he ask and I look at him and sigh. "He wants me to finish my studies and if I don't he will cut me off." I say and he frown. "So what are you going to do?" he ask and I shake my head. "I am going home." I say grabbing my phone to book a ticket. "I mean about the studies and the work?" he ask and I shake my head. "Nothing, I will study and work at the same time, I decided I don't want to work in Formula 1 anymore, I need to distance myself from that." I say standing up to get water. He frowned and follow me, "Then what do you mean you will work while studying?" he ask leaning against the counter and I look at him. "I will do photoshoots for people, to get my own money, and then when I am done with my studies I will do my own thing." I say and he frowns.

"So you are giving up on F1?" he ask and I nod. "Yes, it was always my dad and brothers thing, and even if I love it I am done living in the shadow of them" I say walking to sit on the sofa and he sits with me. "So what does that mean for us?" he ask and I frown. "What do you mean?" I ask looking at him and he takes my hand. "I will never see you then, I will always travel." he say and I nod. "I know" I say looking at my hand. It was quiet between us. "I am hungry, what do you want?" I ask taking the menu and he frown. "Bella, I don't think I will be able to do a long distance relationship." he say and I look at him shocked. "So what you want to break up?" I ask putting the menu down folding my arms. "No, but can't you travel with me?" he ask and I shake my head. "No, I told you I am done with F1, I will attend classes and do my studies and beside if I work I won't be able to travel with you." I say and he nods standing up.

"I understand, but you can still study online and travel with me, and your dad will be happy with that because you will not be working so hard." he say and I look at him in disbelieve shaking my head. "No, I need to make my own money so that I am not depended on my dad, don't you understand, if you can't do this then that's on you Lando, all the other drivers is doing it I don't see the problem" I say getting angry. He shake his head walking to the door. "I am not the other drivers, and I have done a long distance before it did not go well, and it ended badly, I am not doing it again." he say walking out the door and I stood there not believing what just happened. I went to the room and fell on the bed crying. I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up to Lando coming in and I see its dark already. I sat up as he came in and I just look at him.

He came to lay on my lap hugging my legs and I sigh playing with his hair. "I am sorry, I was just shocked to hear you will not be there, I am so used to you being there." he say and I smile. "I know, and it will be hard for me too." I say and he looks at me nodding. "I will still come watch you race, I will just not be there at every race." I say and he nods biting his lip. "I don't want to lose you." he say and I frown, "you will not lose me" I say and he smiles. We lay cuddling the whole night and I was relieved we could talk it out. We fell asleep late and when I woke up I was still tired. "So we are going home?" he ask and I nod getting up to shower. "I was thinking, you can move in with me?" he say and I turn around in shock. "What?" "Yeah, think about it I will not be there anyway and then you can at least have some independence from your father, because he doesn't have to pay for your apartment." he say

I walked to him and he looks up as I am standing in front of him. "Moving in together is a big step" I say and he nods pulling me closer by my hips so that I am straddling him. "I know, then I will always have someone to go home to." he say smiling and I kiss him. "I will think about it okay?" I ask and he nods deepening the kiss. I removed his shirt I had on and he smiles, kissing my neck. Soon he removed his pants and I sink onto him. "Fuck" I whisper kissing him and I start moving. "Yes just like that" he say kissing my neck and I moan. I came loudly and he follows after me. "That was great" he say kissing me and I stood up smiling. "Let's go shower we have to leave soon." I say and he nods following me. I was busy doing my makeup when there was a knock and Lando went to open the door.

"Bella, it's for you" he calls and I frown standing up walking out the room. "I see my father standing there and I roll my eyes. "What do you want dad?" I ask folding my arms, "I hear you are going home?" I nod saying nothing. "So what are you going to do?" he ask me and I frown. "I will finish my studies and I will take photoshoot jobs, to support myself." I say and he smiles "I knew you would make the right decision he say and I shake my head. "No, I am also moving out of the apartment so you don't have to pay for it anymore, I also don't need you to support me anymore, I just need you to pay for my studies and if you don't want to its fine I will leave it and just work." I say and he frowns.

"And where will you be staying?" he ask and I smile. "With Lando" I say and he looks at Lando that looks down and then at me. "Isa, why are you doing this?" "Me, you did this, you decided what my life should be and I am done with you controlling it." I say and he nods. "Fine, then me and your mother won't try anymore" he say and I nod. "Good, please don't because I am done" I say walking back to the room to pack the last of my things. I hear him and Lando talking and then he left. I sat on the bed, my heart breaking my dad was always my hero, but he was just controlling. Lando came in leaning against the door frame. "You okay?" he ask and I look up at him and nod. "Yeah, I will be fine" I say and he nods. I stood up to get my stuff and he came and hugged me. "I am sorry you are fighting with your parents." I say and I hug him back.

We left for the airport and I sat on the plane, thinking how my life got so messy. My phone pinged and I see a message from Carlos.

Carlos: Dad told me what happened why are you doing this Isa? I don't understand you.

I rolled my eyes and kept him on read, taking my book and started reading. I could not wait to get home
