Hey Muppet | Lando Norris 🧡

Chapter fifty four: Home 🧡

"Hey, mom."

"Lando, darling!" His mom pulled him into a big hug, that mom type of hug.

During the weekend off racing after Canada, Lando decided to visit his parents and siblings since Sophie said she would be really busy preparing everything for the trip to Spain. 

When Lando arrived at his family home, only his mom was there. After greeting her, he grabbed his bags from his car and went into his old room, where he always stays while visiting. 

He lay down on his bed and rested for a little before going back out. The Canada GP was okay, as the season progressed, the team and car did too. Both McLaren were in the top 5 and mostly one of them on the podium at almost every race, he still can't get that top step on the podium but he's extremely close. Being so close yet so far made him happy yet frustrated, and Lando being Lando, always focused on the frustrating part.

Now he's back at home with his family, to clear his mind, try to put those bad thoughts away and focus on the goal, his first F1 win.

When he went down the stairs, the smell of his mom's cooking was in the air, gently pulling him into the kitchen with a smile on his face. His smile grew bigger with the image he found, his mom laughing trying to cook while his dad pulled her by the waist to dance along to the music that was playing, it gave him a warm feeling in his chest, love.

Adam, his dad, pulled Cisca, his mom, into a small kiss between laughs.

"Ew." Lando said, feeling like a little kid watching his parents kiss, bringing back memories.

"My son!" His dad let his mom continue with her cooking and went to hug him.

"Hey, dad. Where is everyone?"

"Your siblings are on their way here, but for now, you are stuck with us." Adam takes a seat next to the counter.

"Can I help you with anything, mom?"

"Honey, even if I needed it, I don't think you would be the person to ask for help about cooking." She kisses his head and continues cooking. 

"How have you been, Lan?" His dad asked.

"Good."

"I was surprised when your father told me you were coming to visit, I was expecting to see you at Silverstone."

"Well, you still will, but I had this weekend off and I wanted to clear my mind."

"I know you come home when you are a bit too stressed."

"Your mother is right, what's been going on, uh?" His dad caressed his back.

"Oh, it's just racing stuff. To be honest, my first plan was to go to Surrey."

"To the MTC?"

"Not really, just to relax and clear my head too, but my... friend, that I wanted to see was going to be busy, so I wouldn't be able to see her much."

"Friend?" His mom turns around to pay full attention to him.

"Her? Tell us more." His dad put as much attention as his mom into him.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, if you have a friend that helps you to 'relax and clear your mind', I would like to know more about her." His dad continued.

"I thought you were talking about Max but you said her." His mom added. "Who is she?" 

"Her name is Sophie."

"Okay, how do you know her? Where is she from? What does she do?"

"I met her through Quadrant, she's a streamer and participated in a tournament we did. She's from Argentina but lives in Surrey."
