Racing Hearts - Lando Norris

(12)

y/n pov :

I felt myself falling and jolted up when my back hit the floor. I had rolled off the couch. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I stood up feeling something stuck to my forehead.

A sticky note.

I've gone out for training, will be back a bit late. Breakfast is on the table and I'll get lunch for you. Also, u are extremely messy when u work.

I shook my head slightly at his comment as I made my way upstairs to freshen up and then eat the breakfast that was kept on the kitchen counter.

I must have got immersed in work because I didn't hear him come in.

There was a video that we had to shoot this week, the first one of the year so I was jotting down ideas and rough drafts for it as well as scheduling a photoshoot for the first race of the season which will commence in about three weeks.

Thus, a lot of work to be done going forward.

To be honest, I was quite excited for a multiple of reason. Surely, work is fun but also stressful. One of the main reasons for my excitement was the fact that I will be attending the first race of the season - Bahrain and I, surely couldn't wait.

" What's got you all smiling about hm?" Lando asked as he kept his keys and a bag of food on the counter, taking a seat in the chair opposite to me.

Shutting the laptop as I placed my hands on the counter, tapping my fingers getting lost in thought about the race weekend again

" Anyways, I got you food."

That seemed to get my attention as Lando began to open the containers and place them in front of me

" Food? So early?" I questioned looking back at him

" It's 4:30 Dell" he said, shaking his head at me

Man, I lost trace of time too but well, I did get all of my work done so that's a win. Also, I didn't realize how hungry I was until I started eating

" Thank you Mr.Norris." I beamed with a smile causing him to raise an eyebrow at me

" Since when are you so nice?" he questioned

" Well" I shrugged, " Since you got me food."

" No way!" I exclaimed staring at the boy in front of me, " You haven't watched Harry potter?"

After eating, we decided to watch a movie. Debating on which one to watch, we ended up with two options - Harry potter or the Cars movie. Lando wanting to watch the latter, which he already has quite a few times; I was adamant to make him watch Harry Potter after finding out he hasn't seen it.

" I don't like it" he countered back when I kept persuading him but he didn't seem to budge

" You haven't even seen it" I scoffed snatching the remote from his hand, " We are watching Harry potter"

That seem to get him riled up, " Absolutely not" he snatched it back, " Cars it is." he smiled sheepishly putting the movie on

" Not at all. You give me the remote back or else-" he cut me off in the between, " or else what?"

Having the debate back and forth, I now found myself standing opposite to Lando who was very eager to get that remote from me

" Give it back dell" he uttered moving closer to me but I swiftly moved away now standing behind the sofa

" Not at all Norris" I stuck my tongue out at him which seemed to set him off because the next thing I knew he jumped over the sofa and started chasing me around the house.

Laughter filled the air as I refused to give up and threw all sorts of insults at him which he gladly replied to.

I was panting with the amount of times I ran around the kitchen table, the remote still tightly clutched in my hands

" why are you panting?" Lando raised a finger pointing at me

" You are panting too" I replied chuckling at him, raising his hands up in the air as a surrender he slowly walked over to where I was

" I'm done. Truce." he said

I contemplated for a moment, his eyes not leaving mine indicating he truly was done

But I was mistaken, the minute he saw my grip loosen on the remote, he swiftly snatched it and as I comprehended what happened extending my hand to get it back, I found myself tripping on my own feet but this time, I felt a hand tightly wrap around my waist to stop me from falling.

My hands were on his chest as Lando's one arm caught my waist, the other holding the remote to the side of my head

" Careful" he whispered, his gaze stuck on me but well, he did the same mistake I did

His grip loosened on the remote as I took it from his hands, putting a little distance between the both of us, I waved the remote in front of his face smiling from ear to ear

" Harry potter okay, that's final" I stated. Finally settling into a comfortable position on the couch as I turned on the movie

I looked back to see Lando still standing there, " You coming?"

" yeah yeah" he replied shaking his head as he took a seat on the other end snatching the blanket which was kept on my legs. I let him get away with that after all he was watching Harry Potter even though he wasn't quite happy about it, sitting there with a slight pout on his face as he hugged the pillow to him, eyes never leaving the screen.
