Before you

21.

Xanthi and Max already left. Pretty much everyone did if I was honest.
The race was done and Lando was doing his interviews and other media stuff.

So I was waiting for him in the hospitality, I could go back to the hotel as well, but I wanted to go back together.

So I waited alone, scrolled down Instagram. I already saw some people comment under my pictures but I couldn't care less.

They had two reason to hate me now.

My dad and because I was 'dating' Lando.

"You're still here?" Zak asked as he sat down with me. "Yeah, as you can see" I mumbled.

It was obvious that he didn't want me to be here or around Lando, so he was probably gonna tell me off.

"Waiting for Lando?" He asked. Did he always ask the most obvious questions? "No, for Oscar"

"Look Riley" he put his hand on the table, as if I would be impressed with that. "I don't know what you wanna get out of this but you need to stop it"

"Get out of what? The only thing I want is to support Lando"

"Are you using him to get a good reputation?"

I frowned, laughed a bit later. Was he actually serious about this?

I looked at him but he was still looking at me, waiting for an answer.

Fuck, he was serious.

"No Zak, I would've used someone else if I wanted to have a good reputation" I titled my head. "Why is it so hard to believe that I genuinely like him?"

He got quiet, looked at me as he leaned back in his chair. "I just saw him go through hell before you came along"

So he wasn't scared that I would hurt Lando, he just didn't want him to get hurt in general.

"Trust me Zak, I'm not here to hurt him, not at all"

He nodded. He still didn't know if he could trust me or not but I guess he was giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Not like he would see me again though.

Lando walked in the hospitality with his PR assistant, he looked tired, probably wanted to go home as soon as possible.

He smiled when he saw I was still here, immediately walked up to me. "You didn't have to wait for me"

"I didn't have to, but I wanted to anyways" I shrugged.

He held his hand out for me. "You wanna come with me to my driver's room?"

"Sure" I said as I held his hand and got up, leaving Zak behind.

He may not believe me, but damn we were pretty convincing in our act.

We walked to his driver's room, where he immediately started undressing himself, out of his racing suit.

It wasn't weird at all, I saw him naked so seeing him in his underwear wasn't new for me.

But he looked damn handsome standing in front of me wearing nothing but his underwear.

So I had to switch the subject or I would actually have sex with him right here and now.

"So there's something I forgot to tell you" I sat down on the little couch. "Savannah is my sister"

He turned to me, raised his eyebrows. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, she's my older sister"

He looked at me for a few seconds, tilted his head a little. "You look nothing like her" he shrugged.

Yeah that was true.

"So you don't mind?"

He put his jogging pants on and shrugged again. "Not really, I mean, she's not my favorite person but she's not that bad"

I chuckled. Fair enough I guess.

"But anyways, Xanthi and Max thought you would actually care about that, so I think it's a great reason to break up"

"Break up?" He frowned, put his shirt on.

"Yeah? We would stop this act after this weekend, right?"

"Oh" he mumbled. "Yeah"

"So, I thought we could have a fight about that and break up"

He didn't react to that. He just finished packing.

"Lando?"

"Yeah sure, can we go to the hotel now?" He said, again holding his hand out for me.

"Uh okay" I said as I grabbed his hand.

Maybe it wasn't the right timing to talk about this. He looked tired and probably just wanted to go to sleep.

And honestly, that's exactly what I wanted too.
