Lando Norris is at my house for the second time.

Lando Norris' things are set up in the guest bedroom.

Lando Norris is staring at me.

"You're being weird." He says as the movie plays in the background. The movie that I haven't attempted to watch this whole time because Lando fucking Norris is staying at my house like we're friends or something.

"I am not." He narrows his eyes at me before turning back to the screen.

The series of events leading up to this moment like this, Lando drunk called me, Lando was sad, I told Lando to come here, Lando disagreed then agreed, Lando got on a red eye, Lando is here.

I don't know what I was thinking but as he leans his head a bit closer to mine it eases my anxiety.

The movie eventually ends, it's light outside but the curtains are closed. Lando turns to me, "Someone leaked my address." I sigh, him finally opening up to me about why he's truly here.

"Shit." People know where we live but no one has the true addresses because of safety.

"That's why I'm ruining your break."

I shake my head, "You're not. That's not fair to you and I'm glad you're here."

He smiles softly, hurt still in his eyes, "I just couldn't deal with any of the guys. You're so calm and I know the guys would try to understand but they're just a lot. My place in Monaco is under construction so that's great timing! I like it here, no one seems to know us." He scratches the back of his neck, "But honestly, you get sick of me, I'll find a hotel."

I nod, "I get it." I like that Lando feels safe with me, "I might get annoyed but I'm not going to kick you out."

He smiles wider now, looking relieved, "So, what American romcom will you show me next?"

I laugh and we fall into a comfortable rotation of movie trailers and him letting me rant about which are my favorites.

I'm up in the kitchen, making more popcorn when the doorbell rings, "Norris, pay your debt and get the door!" I yell as I try to assemble my popcorn maker for the fifth time today.

He jumps off the couch while laughing, the door opens and in the matter of five seconds I realize my mistake, "Uh- Hi?" My moms voice sounds from the doorway.

"You're Lando Norris!" My brother's voice soon follows. I spin around to see my whole family waiting at the door, Ryder and Tommy walk in as Lando appears to be in shock.

"Yeah, I am..." He looks to me, surprised and clearly wanting me to give an explanation.

What the fuck.
What the fuck.
What the fuck.

I bite my lip, "Guys!" I come over to the door, "What are you doing here?"

Lando moves as they all walk in. I mean my whole family! My mom, Uncle Ro, Aunt Kimmy, Annabel, Gianna, the boys, and even my grandmother (who seems to be checking Lando out)!

"We wanted to surprise you, sweetie." My mom says, carrying a bowl, "We didn't know you'd have... company." She raises her eyebrows and I groan, knowing this is being taken out of context.

I hear the boys overwhelming Lando with questions, I grab my brother and cousin by the wrists, pulling them away as they both yell at me.

I look at my family once again, not knowing what to do. "Where should I put the salad?" Annabel asks as my family breaks down into interrogation mode.
