Private Life is a happy life

5- The Unexpected Guest

LANDO POV

I was winding down after an intense streaming session, when my phone buzzed. It was Mad Max, I chuckled at the name. I read the message, he'd saved a girl, Lucy, from her boyfriend, she mentioned she liked McLarens and Max wanted her to meet me. I was told not to stare though, what an odd request. I responded straight away.

I'd put my clothes into a corner just to hide them, I heard a knock and went to open it. There was Max, with the gorgeous Lucy next to him. "This is Lucy, can we come in?" I ushered them both inside, unable to break my eyes away, but why did she have a Merc shirt on?

"Hi, I'm Lando." I held my hand out and she shook it. "Lucy, nice to meet you Lando." She smiled warmly. I took this moment to take in all her features, then I noticed it, the wrist and the neck. That's what he meant by no staring.

I dropped my hand from hers and offered her a drink. She wanted a whiskey, my type of girl. "Am I okay to smoke on the balcony?" Why was she asking? "Of course you are, treat this as you would you own."

Me and Max, watched her as she walked through the apartment and to the balcony. As soon as I saw the door close I looked straight at Max. "What the fuck man?!" Demanding an answer to what I saw.

"Me and Kelly broke up, so I went for a walk. I was going to that restaurant we go to and I heard raised voices. I walked round the corner, she was against the wall with a guy holding her there. I flew over, punched him and rescued her, he tried continuing so I punched him again, then we walked away. I was supposed to take her to the hospital but she wasn't feeling up to it."

"What the fuck, what happened with you and Kelly? Who was the guy? Did he make the mark around her neck too?" I had so many questions as I failed to take it all in.

"Kelly isn't important, it was her partner, well now ex-partner, I think he did, but they're also in this hotel man." She was perfect, how could anyone hurt her? I would love to see the boyfriend though.

I gave Max and acknowledging nod. "She's so beautiful, why does he have to be like that?" "I don't know Lando, but she really really is." I don't know why, but when he said that, I felt a prang of jealousy.

She came back in, looking more relaxed. "I think I want to go back to my room." Why? Why would she? "Are...are you sure?" I asked hesitantly. "Yes, I need to get my things and find a new room." Max looked at me with relief.

"We'll walk you there and wait in case he tries anything else." I couldn't stop the words forming. "I appreciate that, but I can handle myself you know." God, why was confidence so sexy.
