The gamble of love

Jo's POV

The next morning I was woken up by the sound of my alarm ringing. I groan and shut it off. I turn around and see Lando still sleeping peacefully. I smile and shake him a bit to wake him up.
His eyes fludder open and he smiles at me, "Good morning sweetheart." He says making me blush. "Morning Lan." I say returning the smile. We stare at each other a little too long and I could get lost in his eyes. I clear my throat, "we need to get ready for media day." I tell him and he nods. "Yeah, I'm gonna head back to mine and get ready, I'll meet you there?" He asked. I smile, "Yeah meet you there." I say. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and got up and left.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Once I finished I got dressed and did my hair and make up. Today is going to be a good day. I smile to myself in the mirror and then grabbed all my things and went downstairs. As I walk down the stairs I see Alex standing there. I sigh. She spots me and makes her way over to me. "Hey Jo, can we talk for a sec?" She asked. What could she possibly want to talk about? I slowly nod my head not really knowing what to expect. We both grab a cup of coffee and sit down at a table.
"Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot, and I wanted to apologise for everything. When I took the job to be Charles' PR girlfriend, I never expected to actually fall inlove with him. I never wanted to get in the way of what you two had." She says looking down. "It's fine Alex, what's done is done." I tell her.
"It's not fine, Jo. We never meant to hurt you. I really feel bad for how everything went down. He cares for you so much. He had been crying the entire night last night because of what happened." She says and I was a bit shocked to hear that. "I really care about him too, which is why I ended things. I know he really likes you and I want him to be happy. I don't hate either of you." I say and she looks at me with soft eyes, giving me a faint smile. "Just take care of him, please." I tell her. "I promise I will." She says and I smile at her taking her hand in mine from across the table, "no hard feelings, then? I will talk to Charles later." I tell her and she stood up to give me a hug. "You are the sweetest person I have ever met Jo. You deserve to find love, and I really hope you do." She says. "Thank you Alex." I say. "Hey, uhm, do you maybe want hang out tonight? You can totally say no if you are not up for it." She says and I laugh. "No, I think a night out is exactly what I need." I tell her and her face lights up. We exchange numbers, she said she would text me the details and then she left. I feel a bit weird with the entire situation but there is no point in hating them or being angry at them, it is best if we all get along.
I gather my things and make my way to the paddock.

Soon after I arrived and went to find Carlos. "Hey bro." I yell as I see him standing in the Ferrari garage. He turns around and smiles, making his way over to me. "Hey sis." He says giving me a hug. "Alex and Charles said that we are going out tonight and that you will be joining, are you really okay with the two of them?" He asked me. I nod my head, "Yeah, no hard feelings, we talked everything out and it is better for everyone if we could all get along." I tell him. "That's really good to hear. You should bring Lando!" He says excitedly and I laugh. "I will ask him." I tell him. We talked some more for a bit and then I walked off to start my interviews with Red Bull and McLaren.

The day went by really fast and I managed to convince Lando to come tonight, he is still angry with Charles, but it will pass. I am currently in my room getting ready. We are going to grab food and then go to a club. I was finally ready to go and went downstairs where we all said we would get together before we leave. I see Carlos, Charles and Alex standing there and I walk over to them giving each one a hug. "Thank you for this." Charles whispered in my ear as I hug him. I nod my head in his neck and pulled away, only to find Lando there glaring at him. He walked closer and pulled me close to his side, wrapping his arms around my waist, protectively. "It's fine Lan, we talked everything out. Please calm down and let's enjoy the evening." I whisper over to him and he nods his head smiling at me. We went over to the car and could see fans talking photos of us all. We got in the car and I signaled Alex to sit next to me. Forcing Lando to sit with Charles. I want them to talk this thing out. She soon catches on and sat down next to me, Lando giving me a glare and I just smile at him innocently. He rolls his eyes at me and then I can see Charles starting to talk to him. Me and Alex took a few photos with Carlos joining in making us laugh. Lando and Charles talked for a bit and they were laughing so I guess my plan worked. We took a group photo and I posted it to my Instagram tagging them all.

We were currently in the club grabbing drinks and wanted to go to the dance floor, when I see a girl approaching Lando. She grabbed him around his neck hugging him, it's Magui. Uhg. So much for a good day.
