Private Life is a happy life

30- Blurred Lines

~Time jump to Sunday~

Lucy POV

It felt good to be back in the paddock, it was a distraction I needed and the fact Dylan had now backed off, it was my safe space. All the drivers knew what had gone on and they all offered their condolences, plus any support I may need.

My boys did really good yesterday, I was watching from Mercedes, preparing for my start at the next GP. Max and Carlos were pole & 2nd, Lando and Charles were 4th & 5th and George was 7th.

They lined up and I wasn't nervous for once. "IT'S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO!" They all got off the line really well and settled into even paces.

Lap 3 Carlos overtook Max, but I had mixed feelings about it, I support both of them, but I was really happy for Carlos. He was pulling away well, but on the next lap, Max pulled off the racing line, saying his car was smoking and had was on fire, which was a DNF for him but he made it out okay, his rear right brake caught fire. Lewis also retired which was gutting for us. It was the final lap, I was getting ready to breath easy, George tried over taking Alonso, but he got bake tested, causing his car to land on its side in the middle of the track, only just being avoided.

He was so panicked on the radio asking for a red flag, a safety car was called out and they finished behind that. I was so gutted for George, but usually he could avoid something like that, so what happened?

The race ended and Carlos won! With Charles and Lando behind him. I was so proud of them! I ran to the podium to watch them, they were so happy, I loved seeing it.

I walked to Ferrari to congratulate them, Carlos was so happy, he gave me the biggest hug. "I'm so proud of you." I said. I gave Charles a hug too and repeated, the same message. "Lucy." Carlos called to me, "There's a party tonight, will you join?" "Of course I will!" They both smiled.

I walked over to McLaren, I was so nervous for some reason, I looked for Lando but could only see Oscar, "Brilliant drive today Oscar, p4!" I gave him a hug, "Thank you Lucy, Lando's in his drivers room." He said that very cold. Weird. I knocked on his door but got no response, I opened his door and walked in, he was sat on his bed with some lass on top of him kissing him, I felt weak, they hadn't noticed me. "Congrats on p3 Norris." I looked her up and down, they looked like deer in the headlights, "Seems you left your standards out on the track though." I walked out, he didn't even try chase me.

Tears started forming, the one driver I opened my heart to, he really did turn out to be a fuck boy. How could I be so stupid, it was Lando fucking Norris, of course it would end like this.

I walked through the paddock in a blur, I just wanted to go back to my room, my thoughts were consuming me, my mum, Lando, George and Max's retirements, I didn't even notice when I walked into someone, it was Pierre. "Sorry Pierre, my heads not with it." He gave me a hug, "It's okay Lucy, what's wrong." He could see all the puffiness on my face. "Boys." I chuckled. "You shouldn't worry about them, you're too pretty for that." I blushed.

"Can you take me back to the hotel? I don't have a car." He smiled. "Of course, I cannot leave a damsel in distress, let me just grab my keys." His French accent made everything sound good, I walked with to Alpha Tauri, explaining what had happened. He disappeared inside to get his clothes and keys. I heard someone calling my name, I looked and it was Lando he was walking towards me, no harlot in sight.

Luckily, Pierre came back and saw Lando, he put his hand in mine and we started walking to the gate, that's one way of getting rid of him. I turned to see him, he was stood with his head in his hands. "Sorry, for grabbing your hand, I just thought I'd save you." He smiled, running a hand through his hair, I kissed his cheek. "I really appreciate it, thank you."

He drove me back to the hotel, we bumped into the Ferraris in the lobby, Pierre went over to congratulate them. "Carlos!!! Can't wait for the party tonight, let me get you a drink now though." They walked off, Charles looked at me. "You've been crying and why were you with Pierre?" "Long story, I'll tell you on the way to the room." We walked to the lift, got in and pressed the floor number. I started telling Charles what happened, the doors opened on our floor, we got out and just stopped whilst I finished the story. Charles was shocked, "I thought I was Magui in the paddock. She used to date Jaoao, but she kept cheating on him." We walked to my room, "So he'd rather have a cheater than me?" I said as we stopped outside it. "Well, I'd rather have you, even if she didn't cheat." I blushed, we were looking at eachother, I could get lost in them eyes.

I heard the lift ding, but neither of us broke eye contact. "Please say, you'll still come tonight? As my guest?" He looked at my lips, "Of course. What if she turns up though?" He looked in my eyes again. "I don't care about her, if Lando wants to be a stupid little boy, then let him, he'll lose more than he gains." I blushed again. He put his hand in my hair at the back. "You're far too perfect to be worrying about them." He leaned in and kissed me, I put my arms around his neck and kissed him back, he put his arm around my waist, the kiss was deepening. I suddenly became aware we were exposed, I opened my door and pulled him in.

I knew this was going to be a mistake, but i needed an outlet and this was it.
