Lando

Oscar and I met with Lia to film the YouTube video my PR officer made up for her channel. Obviously, it's for PR, but everyone here knows I set this up. 

"Mate, I can't believe I was dragged into doing more PR for you to hang out with the girl you like." Oscar groaned as I walked next to him from the car park. 

"Oh shut up, you'll like the video. I think we're doing stuff for the fans." I rolled my eyes at him. 

"Oh, I guess that's not that bad." He nodded and walked faster. 

When we got there, Lia was already filming the intro, so we stood off camera, not speaking until she was done. 

"Today's guests are going to make bracelets for the fans waiting around the circuit today. Speaking of, here they are." She waved us over when she spotted us. Waving at the camera, we stood on either side of her. 

"I'm Oscar and this is Lando and we drive for McLaren." He said pointing at me before turning to Lia. "So what are we doing?" 

"Well, first we're buying supplies." Lia replies. 

"Ok, lets go!" I say before lightly pushing the two of them towards the exit. Pete, the guy filming for Lia follows after us. I lead them to my car and Pete and I get in the front with Lia and Osc in the back. Pete films us driving, singing to the music.. 

~~~

When we get to a local supply store, Lia tells us to get beads and strings. 

"Lando, what did you pick up?" Oscar came over to me with Pete following him. 

"I have got some neon yellow of course. Some papaya. Some letters. What've you got?" I showed the camera each of the packets I got. 

"I got some green and yellow for Australia. And same as you, letters and McLaren papaya." 

Lia was talking to the guy at the register, getting the shops details to properly credit them in the video. 

"Ya ready?" She asked as we approached. 

"Let's get to bracelet making." Oscar said, paying for our supplies, after fighting Lia on it. 

Making our way back to the track, Pete followed the three of us into my driver room. Oscars was more for him sleeping then for people to sit in it so we chose to make the bracelets in my room. 

"Okay Lia, what are you making?" Pete asked her from behind the camera, pointing it to her and her hands. 

"I've got one that says 'ln4op81' on it and i'm making one that says 'oscar is better than lando'." I looked at her, jaw dropped. 

"I can't believe you would say that. You were my friend first."  I lightly shove her shoulder as Oscar laughs. 

"Your friendship has nothing to do with your talent, Lando." This time Lia laughs at Oscars comment. 

"I'm only joking, it says 'oscar and lando'." Lia showed her bracelet to the camera, before Pete moved over to me. 

"Mine says 'four' on it with orange beads, and i already made one that says 'lando'." I showed Pete my bracelets and he moves on to Oscar who shows his bracelets that say 'landoscar' and 'op81'.

After we finished filming, Lia went back to whatever she was working on for F1TV and Osc and I went to fulfill more media duties, making an ad for Android. 

When I got back to my apartment, I got bored and decided to bother Lia.

~~

She confirmed that a private breakfast in my apartment was fine after some persuasion. So I sent her my address and made sure to clean my apartment before going to bed. I was lying down, not being able to sleep, which usually happens on race weekends anyway but this itme I was thinking about Lia. 

If we can be friends in private, then why can't we kiss in private? Why couldn't we try being together in private? At least until she was settled down in the field. Pondering that thought, I went to sleep, thinking of how I could show her it was worth it to be with me, even if it was just us that knew.
