Summer love

The Rossi family

*Lando's p.o.v*
After the kiss we shared in Bahrain, we instantly went back to hating eachother. One kiss was all it took to make me feel more love for her than hate, but it clearly wasn't reciprocated.

It was now the weekend of the Italian Grand Prix, and if I'm being honest I was not looking forward to it in the slightest, deep down I knew it wasn't going to be the greatest, especially knowing that there is a slight chance that María will be racing this weekend. I was sat outside McLaren hospitality eating my breakfast with Max and Ella. Irem had to go back to Monaco as her and Ben had plans, it was nice to see them becoming closer and trying to see if there was more than just a friendship there.

"Guys have you heard?" Oscar yelled as he ran up to the table, "What? What's happened?" I said in panic. Oscar sat down, "The mafia Don of  Italy is coming to the Grand Prix today with his daughter and is spending the whole weekend here." Oscar explained. My eyes widened, "Fucking hell, seriously that's not terrifying at all." I said sarcastically, Max chuckled, "why are you scared mate, it's not like you've done anything to piss him off." Max stated, I shrugged, "I know that but he's the Mafia leader, he's powerful and dangerous. Especially the Italian mafia they are constantly over the news for a new murder or drug deal." I pointed out.

"True, but I'm sure it will be fine he's probably here to support Ferrari as they are his team." Ella explained, I nodded, "I suppose, how did you find out anyways Osc?" I asked taking a bite out of my toast. "I heard Charles and Stefano talking, Leonardo and his daughter are arriving soon." Oscar explained. "I bet the daughter is fit." Max commented which earned him a smack around the head from Ella, "What was that for?" He asked rubbing his head, "you know what that was for." She said pointing her finger into his chest, I chuckled, "mate she's the heir to her fathers business and fortune there is no way she would end up with someone like us, can you imagine either of us being with someone who kills people for a living?" I rambled on not noticing that any of them were paying attention.

"And can you imagine having to have approval from the leader of the mafia if you can date and have sex with their daughter?" I stated glancing towards Max who's eyes were huge and was staring off into the distance, I glanced towards Ella and she was doing the exact same, I turned to look at Oscar but couldn't see his face, but I could tell he was staring off into the oblivion.

"Guys?" I questioned and shook Max to get him  back down to earth, but he just sat there his mouth agape, I rolled my eyes, "what is so fucking shocking?" I groaned. "You aren't going to believe it when you see it mate." Max said still staring at the same place, i huffed and looked to where the three of them were looking and my eyes widened. There was paparazzi everywhere and men dressed in all black clothing surrounding a man with dark hair and brown eyes, I knew instantly who he was but my eyes were to  focused on the girl next to him, it was Remi. What is she doing with the mafia boss?

As I glanced at Leonardo and Remi my heart was beating out of my chest, the resemblance between them both was uncanny, "she's....she's his daughter." I gasped. "Looks like it." Oscar mumbled, I thought I was going to pass out, "Oh my god I am so dead." I panicked, "mate I think you'll be good, I doubt he even knows about you two." Max stated trying to calm me down, I nodded, he's right, Remi didn't know who her real parents were when we were together, and now that she hates me she probably hasn't mentioned it.

I glanced back towards them, and that's when his eyes met with mine, I gulped, "fuck he's looking at me." I whispered, "mate calm down, he probably just seen you and looked." Oscar stated, I nodded, yeah maybe that's why. I glanced over again and this time they were both looking at me, fuck!! I'm so fucked!! "Oh shit they are coming over." Ella mumbled, my eyes widened and my heart was beating out of my chest as they approached us.

"Well if it isn't Lando Norris and his friends." Leonardo smirked glaring at me. "Hello." I mumbled trying not to look at him dead in the eyes. "You've met my daughter María." He introduced, I glanced towards Remi who was smirking at me, "Yes we have." Max responded.  Leonardo nodded, "some more than others I've heard." He glared at me, I could feel my hands sweating, "I didn't know she was your daughter." I stuttered, he sat down and just stared at me, "You think I'm angry that you dated my daughter?" He chuckled. I gulped and glanced towards Remi who was stood next him giggling along with her father.

I didn't respond and kept my head down, Leonardo stopped laughing and just stared at me, "I'm not angry over that...I'm angry because I had to travel from a very important meeting to get my daughter out of jail." He replied flatly, his stance and voice caused goosebumps all over my body, "I know I shouldn't have...." I began but was cut off, "shouldn't have called the police on my daughter for nothing!!" He yelled, I nodded, "Yes I'm sorry." I apologised. He chuckled and glanced at Remi, "You're right mon amour he is  a softie isn't he."

She nodded, "Sí papà, anyways I'll leave you be I have to head off to Ferrari for my shoot." Remi smiled and kissed her dad on the cheek before walking away.

"Yeah ummm, me and Ella have things to do so Umm we are going to head off." Max rushed and left with Ella, I glanced at Oscar but he was already gone, which just left me and Leonardo together.... Alone.

I rubbed my hands against my trousers, the fear and anxiety I felt in his presence was scary, how can a man make me feel so small just by sitting there. "So tell me Lando why did you break up with my daughter?" He asked, I gulped, "because she betrayed me." I replied softly, he nodded, "and how did she do that exactly?" He questioned. "She ruined my season last year by causing me to DNF to get her own gain." I replied. He smiled at me and leant over the table, "what did she gain?" He asked. I furrowed my eyebrows, "what do you mean?" He asked, his face tensed, "what did she gain? You said she did it for her own gain so tell me what did she gain?" He asked again, I frowned, I couldn't respond. "Exactly, she didn't gain anything, she lost her friends, fans and most importantly to her you." He stated. I sighed, "so what was the reason?" I asked, he smirked, "that's not for me to tell you....you should have let her explain, but you didn't." He stated.

I frowned I looked down at my hands and started twiddling with my thumbs, "walk with me." He ordered and stood up from his chair, I got up and followed besides him. "Listen Lando, I know I'm this millionaire mafia boss who kills a load of people but when it comes to family I care about them." He said.

I tilted my head, "what's that got to do with me?" I asked, he chuckled, "My daughter cares about you, which means I care about you. There's so much that you don't know Lando, and I can't reveal that to you because it's for her to tell you. But I just want you to know that deep down under all that hate and emotionless woman she still loves you." He explained.

A small smile tugged at my lips, she still loves me? "Can't you tell me anything?" I pleaded, he sighed and stopped to turn to look at me, "all I can say is that everything she has done is to protect you and not harm you. And when the time comes everything will make sense and she will explain everything to you. But for now just go about your day as normal." He stated, I sighed and tan my hands through my hair, "Okay, thank you." I smiled softly, he nodded and patted me on the shoulder. "Good luck in the sprint race kid, and don't breathe a word about our conversation to anyone...if you do I won't hesitate in making sure you don't exist no matter how important you are to my daughter." He glared.

I gulped and nodded, I headed back towards McLaren as I approached the garage I spotted Carlos and María walking my way. Carlos spotted me first and waved which I returned until my eyes landed on her, my heart was beating out of my chest and I felt butterflies in my stomach just like the first time I saw her. She looked over at me with no emotion, I gave her a half smile before walking inside the garage to get ready for the sprint.
