The gamble of love

26

Jo's POV

The next morning I was woken up with Lando's voice. "Jo, you need to wake up love, we have a flight to catch." He says as my eyes fludder open. He handed me a tray with coffee and breakfast. He is too sweet. "Morning Lan." I say with a sleepy voice and he just smiles at me. "Thank you for the breakfast." I say. "You're welcome, eat up then you can go shower and get ready." He tells me and I nod taking a sip of the coffee. "I'm going to go shower while you eat." He tells me and then went into the bathroom. I finished my breakfast and soon after Lando comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. I can't help but stare at him. "You can take a picture." He says smirking at me. I just roll my eyes and laugh at him. "Whatever Norris, I'm gonna go shower." I tell him and he just laughs. When I was finished I got dressed in a tracksuit and did a messy bun. I didn't do any make up as we will be on the flight for most of the day.
I packed all my things and went downstairs with my luggage. Lando saw me and came to help me carry everything. We said goodbye to Max and Pietra and then a driver took us to the airport, next stop is Saudi Arabia. I feel really grateful to be able to travel and see all these different places.
Once we boarded the plane, I got my phone out and video called Taylor. I miss her so much, it's been crazy. I tell her everything that I had been up to and we talked for quite a while before we said goodbye and hung up.

Lando walks over handing me a bottle of water. "Thank you." I tell him smiling at him and he returns the smile. "You're welcome. So I wanted to talk to you about the kiss last night." He says and my eyes widen. "I was hoping you would forget about that." I tell him hiding my face in my hands. "I could never forget the feeling of your lips on mine, Jo." He says and I feel my cheeks heating up. "But I don't want you to kiss me if you are thinking about taking Charles back. I can't afford another heart break right now." He finished. I nod my head understanding what he is saying. "I know Lan, I am really sorry about that. I had a vulnerable moment and you were taking such good care of me the entire day, so I kissed you. I know I shouldn't have done that." I tell him. He looks a bit sad and confused. "No need to apologise." He says with a faint smile. "And just to reassure you, I am not giving Charles another chance. I am going to talk to him when I see him and end things. It's just better for both of us. He is clearly inlove with her and I don't want to be in the way of that, and hurt myself in the process." I tell him and I can see his face lighting up. "Well, I am glad to hear that." He says grinning. "Haha, I am sure you are Norris." I say winking at him. "So does this mean that I finally stand a chance?" He asked. I keep quiet for a while because I really don't know what to say. "Let's just take it day by day, Lan. Like you said, we can't afford another heart break." I tell him and he nods smiling at me. I smile back. "Do you want to watch a movie with me?" I ask him and he says yes. I put on 'Anyone but you' and we watched it until I fell asleep.

Lando's POV

There was about half an hour left before we land in Saudi Arabia and I decided to wake Jo up. She mumbled a bit and then opened her eyes smiling at me. "Hey love, slept well?" I ask her and she nods her head. She looked really cute so I took a picture of her posting it to my social media with the caption, 'Sleeping beauty' and tagged her. "Uhgg Lando, I look like a crazy person in that picture" she says wining while she looks at her phone. I just laugh at her. "You look beautiful." I tell her and she smiles over at me blushing. Soon after the plane landed and we met Carlos at the airport. We were going to ride with him to the hotel.

Jo's POV

I saw Carlos standing there waiting for us and I run over to him straight into his arms hugging him. "Hey sis, I missed you." He says. "I missed you too." I tell him. "How was your time in Monaco?" He asked me and Lando. "It was really good,mate." Lando says. We talked for a while and then I see Lando freeze, looking at something behind me. I slowly turn around and meet eyes with Charles, Alex following behind him. I turn around quickly. "Can we please get out of here?" I asked Lando and Carlos and they both nodded. I grabbed my bags and we went over to the car and then left to go to the hotel. We booked in and I have my own room this time, which I am thankful for. Carlos walked with me as his room is just next to mine. "When are you going to talk to him?" He asked me. I sigh. "I'll talk to him tonight. But I don't want you to be mad at him." I tell him. "Are you kidding? He cheated on you, twice!" He says harshly. "I know, but it's fine, I will sort things out between us, but you two are teammates. You need each other to get through this season. Please Carlos, do it for me?" I ask him. "Fine, I will try my best, but only for you." He says, I give him a quick hug, thanking him. We then parted ways and I went to my room to unpack some of my stuff and get ready before dinner.
