Bad Reputation

41.

Lando and I woke up together but went to the paddock separately.

I trusted him that he wanted to keep things private for me. That he wanted to protect me, not to fuck around.

I trusted him.

It was busy in the paddock club, but it calmed down when the race actually started. Most of them went to the balcony to watch it.

I wish I could watch the race as well, wish I could support Lando properly.

But I should be happy with watching it in the paddock club, on the tv.

"A pornstar martini please" someone ordered as I had my back turned to watch the television.

Someone actually ordered something else than champagne and wine? Very surprisingly.

I turned around, and I honestly had to know who was ordering this drink.

Savannah.

She leaned against the bar with a smile on her face. "Good to see you again Francesca"

I grabbed a glass, made her drink and put it in front of her without replying to her.

"Why are you mad at me?" She asked. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Uh, you stormed out after I told you I like Lando?"

She shrugged, took a sip from her drink. "I was kinda mad and maybe a little jealous"

"I didn't plan to fall for Lando and to steal him away from you" I said. "It just happened"

"I know" she sighed, put her drink down and looked at me. "I am sorry Fran"

"Okay" I didn't really know what to reply because I didn't know if she was genuine about this. "I am sorry too"

"I think we should go out, like old times" she said enthusiastically. "You can bring Lando too"

"Uh well I am pretty sure he has other things to do" I shrugged, turned half around again to look at the television again.

I wasn't gonna tell Savannah that we wanted to keep our relationship private for now.
I didn't trust her completely, not at all to be honest.

It wasn't because she said she was sorry that I immediately would trust her again.

I wasn't that naive.

"Things like what?" She asked. "It's Sunday, the race will be finished, I bet he wants to go out"

"I will ask him" I mumbled, still looking at the television.

But I wasn't gonna ask him.

Even though I missed going out and dancing in a club, I wasn't gonna go out with Savannah.

—————————————

"Verstappen asked if we wanted to go out" Lando said as we walked in his room together.

He finished P2, right behind Max who finished first. Lando pretty much always finished on the podium, but didn't win very often.

He was quite frustrated about it.

"Do you?" I asked.

He shrugged, put his stuff down and immediately laid down on the bed. "It's been a while since we went out"

"Did Verstappen ask only you to go out or did he invite me as well?"

"Doesn't matter" Lando shrugged. "I am not going out without you"

"Thought you wanted to keep this thing private?" I chuckled, crawled on top of him and pecked his lips quickly. "You can go if you want"

"Nah" he let his hand brush over my body. "I will stay with you"

If there was one thing that I knew about Lando, then it was that he loves going out.
He wouldn't have mentioned it if he didn't want to go.

"You can go with Max, I'll go out with Savannah" I said, which made him frown a little. "With Savannah?"

"She asked me to go out, said she was sorry"

He raised his eyebrow. "And you believe her?"

"I am just going out with her, I'm not gonna tell her all our secrets" I rolled my eyes playfully. "Don't worry"

"Alright" he said as he put his hands on my cheeks. "But text me if you need me and call me when you are going back to the hotel"

"And you.." I said as I leaned closer. "Don't kiss anyone"

"I would never do that" he chuckled a little.

I rolled my eyes and kissed him, and once again we couldn't stop kissing for a while.
I did it on purpose today, wanted him to get a bit bored of kissing so he wouldn't kiss random girls.

I trusted him though, I definitely did.
