Jo's POV

I went downstairs for dinner and when I got there I can see Charles walking over to me. Here we go.
"Jo, can we talk please?" He asks. "Why do want to talk when you have been ignoring me?" I ask him. He stays quiet and I just sigh. "You can come to my room after dinner. I am not doing this in front of everyone." I say signaling that everyone is looking at us. He nods his head, "yeah, I'll see you later then." He says. I walk away from him and went to sit down next to Max. "Hey" I say. "Hey, how've you been?" He asked. "I'm good thanks" I say and we all dig into our dinner. I see Lando watching me from across the room. I smile at him and he just winks at me. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, it's a text from Lando.
- Why is my girlfriend sitting with another guy? 🤔'
I giggle, he is so silly.
- You're so weird Norris, maybe she needed a break 😘

I look up to him and see him smiling at his phone and then looking up to me. I laugh and shake my head and finish my dinner. I excused myself from the table and was about to walk back up to my room. When I hear a voice calling behind me, "Jo, wait up!" I turn around and see Lando running over to me, I instantly get a smile on my face. Why does he make me feel so happy all of the sudden? "You want to watch a movie at mine?" He asked when he finally reached me. "I wish I could, Lan. But Charles is coming over, we have to talk." I tell him and I can see that he looks a bit disappointed. "But I can text you when he leaves, then you can come over?" I ask him and his face lights up. "Yeah sure." He says happily. I smile and give him a kiss on the cheek, making him blush. "See you later, Norris." I say and walked away.

I arrived at my room and texted Charles to come over. I just want get this over and done with. About 20 minutes later I hear a knock at the door. I went over to the door and opened it and saw Charles standing there, looking nervous. I invite him inside and close the door. We went to sit outside on the patio, I made coffee for us and lit a cigarette. "Jo, I don't even know where to begin." He says. "You don't have to share the details Charles. I am really not interested. I just want you to know that it is over between us." I tell him. "I am really sorry, I never meant for this to happen, or to hurt you." He says. I sigh, "it's fine Charles. We are both adults and we can make this a mutual decision. No hard feelings." I tell him. "So you don't hate me?" He asked. "No, I don't hate you Charles. I think I will always have love for you. We just aren't meant to be." I tell him. "I'll also always have love for you, Jo." He says and I smile at him and we talked for a bit more before he gave me a hug and left. Atleast it didn't go that bad. I don't want to make things awkward between us, for Carlos' sake. I lit another cigarette and grabbed my phone to text Lando that he can come over. He almost instantly reads the message and I smile at my phone like a complete idiot.
A few minutes later there was a knock at my door. I got up and went inside and opened the door for Lando. He had snacks and drinks in his hands. I laugh at him. "What's all this?" I ask him. "Well what is a movie night without snacks?" He asks and I laugh again. "I didn't know we were having a movie night." I tell him. He looks at me for a brief moment, and walks closer to me, "unless you had something else in mind." He says seductively. I feel the goosebumps on my body. I shake the thought out of my mind and clear my throat, "I-um, no a movie night sounds good." I stutter back at him and see him smirking at my reaction. I roll my eyes and walk past him over to the couch and grab the remote falling down on the couch. He soon sits down next to me and gathered all the snacks for us. I put on a scary movie and he went to shut the lights off. Halfway through the movie I was so scared that I was basically sitting on top of Lando. He just laughs at me. He pulls me onto his lap and I cuddle into him, getting frightened once again, I bury my head in his neck and he holds me tightly.

Lando's POV

I can't imagine a more perfect moment than right now. Jo was so scared and clinging to me like a baby, I find it extremely cute. The movie finally finished and I can feel every muscle in her body relax as she sinks into my lap. I can sense that she is tired. "You wanna go to bed?" I ask her and she lifts her head and nods at me, looking directly in my eyes, inches away from my face. Before I could stop myself, I lean in and kiss her. I can sense that she was taken aback a bit, but soon after gives in and kisses me back. It quickly turns into a make out session and then I decide to pull back, before I lose all my control. I smile at her and she smiles back. "Thanks for tonight." She says sweetly. "You're welcome, love" I tell her and kiss her forehead. I wrap her up in my arms and carry her to bed. "Uhh, Lan?" She said and I look at her. "Will you stay here tonight?" She asks and I smile at her and nod my head. She gets dressed in her PJ's and I take off my shirt and shoes then we get into bed and fell asleep.
