THE PHONE RANG and Merliah groaned, rolling over in the bed. Her eyes fluttered open, and she realized she wasn't alone in the bed. She sat up and looked around. Lando was asleep beside her. His shirt was off, and she panicked.
She lifted the sheets to see that she was still wearing her dress. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The phone kept ringing. Lando had woken up now, and the annoying sound pissed him off. "Ah, good morning, Princess."
"We didn't do anything? Right?"
His eyes widened. "No, of course not. I'd never do anything without your consent, Lia. Who's calling?" He motioned over to the phone that rang beside her. She picked up the phone and gave a confused look as she read the caller ID.
Her father?
She answered, "Hello, papa. Is there something wrong? It's 9 in the morning, in Miami."
"What the hell are you doing clubbing in Miami? With Lando Norris? Merliah, your reputation isn't looking good right now, and neither do your privileges from here on out." His voice was stern and loud, so loud that Lando could hear it, and it wasn't even on the speaker phone.
Her heart dropped. The Paparazzi.
"Papa, I'm so sorry. Lando won, and I went to the celebration."
"Do you think the media cares? You're a princess. Not a celebrity. Are you dating Norris? Do I need to contact McLaren?!" He yelled. Lando's eyes widened.
Merliah was speechless. "Papa-what?! Why?!"
"He's a celebrity. You're a princess! Fuck, Merliah. What the fuck were you thinking?!"
"Daddy, I'm so sorry." Tears began to stream down her cheeks, and Lando quickly consoled her. He brought her into his arms and kissed the top of her head, soothing her back in circles with his palm.
Her father, on the other end of the line, heard her sobs. Something panged his heart, making him instantly feel terrible for lashing out.
"Darling, I apologize. I'm sorry for taking it out on you."
"I-It's okay." She said it through tears.
"Please come home; we can fix this mess at home. I expect you to be here tomorrow morning, alright?"
"Alright, Papa. I love you."
"I love you too, dear. Call me when you're on the plane." And with that, she hung up and burst into even more tears. She hysterically cried into Lando's chest.
Lando felt awful. Being around her made him completely forget about her highly valued public image, and however sure he was, it was tarnished now because she was seen with him. Lando didn't necessarily have the best public image.
Sure, he had a couple girlfriends, but he was seen as a 'playboy' by the media. Everyone found him attractive, and considering he loved to party, the rumors didn't help. Were the rumors of him having flings with many women true? Somewhat.
But he never saw Merliah that way. He saw her as a companion, someone he could quickly grow to love and cherish.
He never intended to hurt her.
"Merliah, how about you go shower, alright? I'll call your boduguard to pack up your hotel room for you and bring it here. Does that sound okay?"
"Y-yes. Thank you so much, Lan." She hugged him tightly.
"Of course, Mere."
