Oscar's POV

The next day at the paddock, the tension from the previous night still lingers. The Monaco Grand Prix has come and gone, but the dynamic between Lando and me has shifted into uncharted territory. There's a new kind of electricity in the air, and it's impossible to ignore.

During a break in the schedule, I find myself alone in the drivers' lounge. Lando walks in shortly after, his usual confident stride replaced with a slightly more subdued demeanor. There's a moment of awkward silence as we both acknowledge the shift in our relationship.

"So," I say, trying to break the ice, "last night was...something."

Lando meets my gaze, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. "Yeah. It was."

The conversation is tentative, but there's a noticeable undercurrent of tension between us. As we talk, the conversation becomes more personal, and I find myself drawn to Lando in a way that's both confusing and compelling.

"Want to get out of here?" I ask, my voice low.

We head outside, away from the prying eyes of the media and the crowd. The night air is cool, and the silence between us is filled with anticipation.
