It's pouring rain when I walk out of the hotel, hopping directly into the first Mclaren I see. I look at Lando in the driver's seat then Oscar in the back, "Wow, gentlemanly Oscar." I stretch my legs and run my hands through my wet hair.

We're in Belgium for the next grand prix, i'm honestly excited for it to be over so I can go home.

He sighs, "It was Landos idea." I laugh at him squished in the back seat.

Lando says nothing, keeping his eyes on the road.

The three of us drive to the track, in silence. Lando rolled down the windows to sign things for fans even though the rain was coming down hard.

I pull my hand back, all wet with a kiss mark on the back of my hand. I laugh, "I'm universally loved." I look at the lipstick and press my hand against Landos face.

He smiles softly, quiet today. I reach back and wipe the rest of the lipstick on Oscar but the mark is not nearly as prominent as Landos.

Lando parks and Oscar immediately jumps out, the press conference starting soon for him. I look over to Lando, "You okay?"

His arm is around the back of my seat when he looks at me, "Somebody wore me out last night."

I can't help it, that made me smile.

"Affecting my race. You are strategic." He goes in to kiss my neck but I push him away, holding his shirt collar.

"So are you." I get out of the car, grabbing my bag.

He follows after me, "When are coming over tonight?"

"Who says I'm coming over?" I glance back at his confused face.

"If I win today..." He grabs my elbow, "You come over?"

I think about it for a moment just to tease him, "If you win." 

His face gets devious, "When I win. Sign and seal it!" his brow quirks.

"If." I say again, "Signed and sealed, Norris."

I shake my head and keep walking, opening the door to the outside and being overwhelmed with the amount of people and voices.

It's still raining, thankfully not as hard as before. Lando and I navigate our way through the crowd of fans and photographers, "Lando is that Carolines lipstick on your cheek?" Someone yells.

I laugh and yell back, "I'm not wearing lipstick!"

We finally make it inside, cutting through RedBull hospitality to get out of the rain. Lando shakes his head, splashing the rain from his curls onto me.

I shove him as I grab an apple from the food spread, sitting on the couch as Max walks in, "What is he doing here."

Lando shrugs and kind of wanders for a bit before sitting on the couch, "Don't infect with your neon orange!" Max shoos him but he doesn't move. 

"It's papaya." Lando and I say at the same time.

"Get out." I say to him as he smiles and stands.

He taps my knee, "Good luck."

"You know that you have lipstick on your face right?" Max asks while Lando wipes his cheek. That lipstick is strong.

"What can I say? Caroline loves me."

I don't condone self deprecation.

But I can't help but scream and slam on my wheel, "I'm an idiot!"
