Dancing around the table, your friend Rebecca had invited you to spend time with her in Monaco.
Instead of the usual model, influencer. You didn't really care who you hung out with. Or fucked. Or whose toes you'd walk over to get the best looking boy in the club.
"Lando would like your energy." Carlos laughs out loud watching you. "No too extrovert for Lando. He likes the Portuguese ones as they can lay low ish." Charles tells him. Not realising you were listening.
But since Rebecca and Carlos had become a thing, lando had been in your insta messages. But you told him you couldn't trust him.
Lo and behold the myth himself shows up. With a group of people you vaguely knew from industry parties and Max. He had been let out to play. You knew him well. Probably too well.
He's the first to smile at you. "Oh hi you." Max grabs you. "Long time no see. Should probably congratulate you." He laughs. "Yeah maybe. Didn't know you were here. I'd have tried to grab dinner with you." You shake your head. "No you wouldn't. You're not allowed to be seen with me anymore." He laughs, but it's true. Kelly would be throwing a fit if she knew you were around.
She was getting her grubby mitts on him, whilst you were fucking him. But you'd known him for years before that. "You made promises you need to keep. Remember." He looks surprised at you.
"Oh? You've changed." He laughs. "No. You have a little girls heart in your hands now. Not just Kelly's." He nods his head.
"I do. You have changed. Once upon a time you'd not care." You shake your head. "Kids are different. Plus can't fuck her stepdad after having her dad, recently."
Max gasps but laughs. "Serious?" You shake your head. "No. Danil is not my type. Jeez Max, gullible much?" As you turn around lando has stolen your seat.
"Don't worry darling you can always sit on my lap." Max whispers into your ear.
You lean down for your drink, but nights out you are usually up dancing anyway. If there is music you are usually dancing or in your chair wobbling about to the music.
"You want your seat?" Lando does offer. But you shake your head. "No thanks. I don't sit much on nights out. Thanks though."
He looks at you, so much more innocent than Max. "No girlfriend tonight lando?" Carlos asks him. He shakes his head. "I don't have one mate." He laughs nervously.
You end up being introduced to Landos group of friends, but instantly you feel judged. You soon spot Max speaking rather aggressively to Lando. You know Max and he usually doesn't do that without reason.
So you sneak over to listen in. But Max sees you.
"Come here..." he grabs your wrist and pulls you into the conversation. "Do you feel comfortable with his friends?" You have no clue where to look.
"Erm. It's not the place to speak about it Max. You know it and he knows it. But no I don't. It doesn't matter, he'll maybe stop dropping into my dm's now."
Max laughs manically. "Shut up. Lando seriously mate. She'd eat you alive."
He nods his head.
"Of course you's have met before." Lando says annoyed.
"What's that supposed to mean? You were barely out the womb when I met him." Max slaps his head, at your reply.
"Oh. Okay then. Last thing I checked he wasn't single. But if that's what you go for, go ahead. Obviously my friends are right about you." He says.
"Oh? Is that right? So why are you so desperate to fuck me then." He shakes his head at you.
"Stupidity obviously." He laughs in your face.
But Max sees more red than you. "What the fuck lando. Have some respect for her. Your friends don't know her, neither do you. So don't you dare fucking judge her."
You manage to keep Max's hands off of Lando and are happy when Carlos comes over.
"You can deal with them." You tell him and move away.
You decide to stop being yourself and sit down. Much to Rebecca and Alex's surprise. "What happened?" You shake your head, not wanting to relive it.
Instead you send Lando a message. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. Im a mess." He walks back over with Carlos and doesn't look phased. He pulls you up and hugs you. "Don't be sorry. I'm fine. I'm sorry for my friends. But don't stop being you for them. Promise?" You nod, but keep your face hidden.
He starts to dance, to get you to move. He grabs your hand and spins you. You have no choice but to dance with him.
You feel him behind you dancing, holding you lightly by the waist. "You and Max huh? Kept that one quiet." You nod not wanting to be judged.
"Nothing serious. Just every so often." He chuckles behind you. "So not serious?" You shake your head. Landos hands get tighter around you. "Sorry. I shouldn't have laughed in your face. I don't ever disrespect women, like that. And all I want to do right now is kiss you."
Turning around to face him, you're unsure if the kiss will happen and how Max will take it.
But lando doesn't care. He is back being cute with you, dancing holding your hands. Making you wait. You dance around, not caring who is watching.
But can feel the burning eyes of Max.
