Back Together ~ pt 2

❤︎︎ Twenty-Five ❤︎︎

The next morning I woke up to voices downstairs. I thought it was just the tv so I put on some sweats and my favourite white lace mesh bralette after feeding Liliana and I went downstairs and of course there was a fucking camera. I forgot that Lando was having Ethan and Ginge over. They were basically gonna recreate the video they did back in 2024 when they ate and trained like Lando. Lando looked at me slightly concerned with the basically see-through bralette I was wearing but like it's my house.

"what? am I not allowed to wear what I want in my own house?"

"Yeah... it's just"

"could have told me your friends were coming round..."

"I did tell you. I told you weeks ago that we were filming for Quadrant"

"yeah well now I'm stood in a room with your mates in a very see through bralette. I only put this on because it's my comfiest one and our little girl was chomping on my tits like i don't know what when I was feeding her this morning so now my boobs are incredibly sore" I said which made him laugh.

"You gonna have anything for breakfast?"

"Probably not"

"Alexa..." he said with a certain look on his face.

"Wait. Your girl's name is actually Alexa?" Ginge said. What an idiot.

"Yes, it is. But literally no one calls me it besides Lando when he's serious or pissed at me" I said. I went to the couch and cuddled up with Liliana. Lando took the lads to the gym as our home gym was still being sorted out and we didn't have everything in there yet. Lando came back and told me to put a bikini on underneath my clothes. I was so confused until he took us to a cryotherapy place. I was honestly terrified. Lando had been to it a few times but I had never done it. "Fuck no. I'm not doing that" I said while holding Liliana's car seat in my hand. It was the easiest way to carry her.

"Come on, you'll love it! Just think of all the pain it'll take away from your sore tits. Besides, we need to get those abs popping again!" He said. What a fucking idiot.

"I don't have abs. I have loose skin from being pregnant with Liliana"

"Well, that's what the ice room is for! It'll tighten up that skin and make you look amazing" he said. It wasn't the idea of it being -110 degrees that terrified me... it was the idea of Ginge, Ethan and everyone who was watching the video seeing my loose skin. I hadn't been seen in a bikini since before I got pregnant with Liliana... Lando knew that was why I didn't want to go in and he pulled me to the side. "Baby, Ethan & Ginge won't care... neither will the fans. You gave birth to a baby nearly 4 months ago. You're bound to have loose skin. Every woman who has carried a baby gets loose skin. I'll be right there by your side. And if you do get any messages about it then you tell me straight away and I'll deal with it, okay?" He said. I nodded slightly and he pulled off my clothes. He bent down and kissed my loose skin. "You're beautiful, okay? Don't even forget that" he said as he softly pressed his lips on mine for a bit but Ginge ruined that moment.

"Ooooo that lovebirds are getting it on in the corner!!" He said. What a fucking idiot. They all stripped down to their boxers and we all went in. Liliana stayed sleeping in her car seat outside the chamber. I literally cuddled up to Lando straight away but he wasn't even giving me anything warmth.

"fuck it's cold..." I said

"Just think of it as a big ice bath. You can do this, baby" he said as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head

"and I fucking hate ice baths!!!"

"Well, this might be a bit colder, but it'll be worth it. Trust me"

"I'm gonna flick off your frozen nipples after this"

"You do that, and I'll do the same to you"

"you can't do that to me because I have to feed our child with mine" I said. We both stayed cuddled up and then Ethan piped up.

"You guys are so lucky that you have each other to hold onto for warmth. I'm fucking freezing" he said

"But we've got more muscle... you've got more..." Lando said

"Man was gonna fucking say blubber" Ethan said

"You fucking cunt" Ginge said. We eventually came out and I was literally shivering. Lando instantly picked up my clothes and helped me into them before even worrying about himself. He knew how much I hated being cold because of my fear of hypothermia. He held me close for a while as the boys put their clothes back on and he refused to let me go until I was warm again. He finally got changed and then we went back home. Him and his mates had to eat a chicken salad and I went out and got a big KFC meal all for myself. I needed it. I went upstairs with the food and Liliana. Eventually Ethan & Ginge left so Lando came upstairs and saw the amount of food I had. 1 bucket of 12 chicken fillets, a box of popcorn chicken, 6 little bags of chips, a corn on the cob, a coleslaw. I was stuffing my face more than ever.

"Lex... why are you eating so much...?"

"Because I want to" I said. Lando didn't really respond to that. Later that day I ordered us pizza because I was in no mood to cook. I got him his usual medium chicken pizza and fries but I ordered myself a large deep pan pepperoni and sausage pizza, a box of pepperoni loaded fries, cheese garlic bread, chicken strippers, and some chicken wings. All for myself. I was eating like crazy. Lando literally had to pull me away from the food.

"Sweetheart, that's enough for now. You're gonna make yourself sick" he said

"I don't care!! I'm hungry!!" I said as I made my way back to my food. I was going insane... I was going back to my old ways... my first ever coping mechanism from when I was 14...
