Bad Reputation

44.

Lando's POV

It was the end of the season. We did the last race and flew back to Monaco.

Frankie wanted to go on real dates and act like a proper couple. Even though I didn't think it was a good idea, I still agreed to it.

She deserved it, she definitely did.

But on the other hand, she didn't know how bad it could get.
I tried to explain it to her and I think she got it.

She knew what I was trying to say. I didn't want to hide her so I could fuck around with other girls, I wasn't interested in that anymore.

And she was finally starting to believe me.

We agreed that we would go on dates together, would go out together but we weren't gonna be obvious about it.

We weren't gonna like or comment on each other's posts until we couldn't hide it anymore.

But we've been together for months now and no one really suspected something, until now.

The posts were multiplying fast, we were being less careful and the hate on her Instagram has started.

We knew we were on borrowed time. We both knew it.

"Did you pack yet mate?" Max Fewtrell asked as we both sat down on the couch. "Not yet" I mumbled.

"We are literally leaving tomorrow" he said, but he wasn't surprised. He knew I did my packing last minute. "Frankie didn't pack either?"

Didn't like the fact that everyone used my nickname for her, but she seemed to like it, so I let them.

"No, she's taking a nap, she's feeling a little sick"

So no, she didn't pack either. Besides, she was even more last minute than I was.

"It's starting huh.." Max said a little more softly, as if he didn't want Frankie to hear him.

"It is" I nodded. "But she's prepared for it" as much as someone could be prepared for it.

"You're serious about her" he said, it wasn't a question, it was more an observation than anything else.

"Yeah obviously mate, I'm dating her for months now"

And running after her for even longer.

"Be honest now, did she start as a bet? Did you accidentally fall in love with her?" Max asked.

"Ca-"

"Have you guys seen this yet?" Francesca interrupted us, as she walked in with her phone in her hand.

She put the phone in my hand, sat down on the armrest of the couch.

I read whatever was on her phone. Didn't know about it yet but I honestly didn't care either.

"What does it say?" Max asked.

I shrugged. "Jordan got attacked in the club"

"And is he alright?" Max asked which made me shrug again.

"Yeah I think so" Francesca answered instead.

I didn't care about Jordan. He was an asshole for what he did to her and I lost my respect for him. All of it.

I took Frankie's hand, put her on my lap and looked at her pretty face.

She was beautiful, absolutely stunning, but she was way more than that.
She was hardworking, the sweetest soul, funny and she was honestly just so much fun to be around.

I was so madly in love with her.

"We need to pack baby" I said. "Are you feeling any better?"

"Yes I am feeling better" she nodded with a smile on her face. "I am so excited to go on vacation with you"

"And with me" Max said from next to us.

We both started laughing, which made him roll his eyes.

We definitely needed this little vacation.
