"I'm not doing it." I cross my arms as B looks at me from the other side of my drivers room, "B!"

"You are doing it! I don't know what happened with you and frankly I don't care- I'm wearing my job hat and not my friend hat right now!"

"B! I cannot be stuck in a car with him!" I groan, "Hot laps are for people who DON'T drive for a living!" I'm begging her at this point, "Lando and I both do! There's no point."

"The point is to let people know you are still friends! Everyone misses your banter." She flips her hair over her shoulder.

"We're not still friends though." I mumble.

"Caro." She puts her hands on her hips, sternly saying, "Was what happened worse enough for you to not be able to sit next to him?"

I cringe, "Not really."

"Then stop being a child." She opens her phone, "Well, Landos in. So you have to."

"Bianca!"

"No!" She yells and walks out, shutting my door behind her.

I end up in a car with Lando twenty minutes later. We both have helmets on and I refuse to say a word. He didn't do anything to me, but if I let myself fall back into our ways then I won't be able to get out. He's like quick sand.

B hands me cards through the window, i'm in the passenger side first, "You two! You're on camera, please do not forget that!"

Lando adjusts the steering wheel, "You hear that Wellsie? Trash talk to a minimum."

I take the cards and roll my eyes as Lando starts the car and pulls onto the track, I swallow my pride and read off the first card, "Do you have any tattoos?" We start to speed up, turning down the first corner.

"Nope." Lando says simply.

"Neither do I. If you could get one what would it be?" I look at him.

"I would get 'Caroline' across my chest." I let out a dry laugh as he smirks, "You?"

"I'd get 'Lando'" I point to my arm where a slightly scar resides from when I got burned, "Right here because he pushed me into a barbecue once."

He gasps, "Wells! You can't say that! You're gonna get me canceled." He looks into the camera, "I did not push Caroline Wells into a barbecue!"

It's always easy with him, even arguing is smooth. We flow through more questions, I hold onto the side of the car as he drives, trying to read the cards quick because of the speed.

"Okay!" I scream as he turns, I know he's fucking around on purpose, "'What was your first impression of eachother!' I hated him!" I smile.

"Liar!" He yells, "You were star stuck!"

I scoff, "Nope!"

"Well I thought she was very pretty." Fuck Lando. "And scary!"

"You're evil!" I say as he slows a bit, "You ignored me the first time we met! We were at my first drivers meeting."

"No we were not!" He laughs, "I met you when you were doing your first practice in the car! I complimented your driving and you laughed and said that it's the same driving that will be overtaking me in a year!"

I laugh, "I wasn't wrong! I was so cocky..."

"And so right." He shakes his head.

I pull my knee up to my chest, "I can't believe you remembered that." I had forgotten about that moment, it was so quick that it honestly slipped my mind.
