Lando's POV
Alix woke up, trained to get better and soon enough she was back on the grid.
She definitely didn't want to quit, she would honestly rather die.
She's been following me pretty much since she woke up and I was getting tired of it. I asked her multiple times where James was, why she told everyone we were dating.
She always told me that she couldn't remember. Which was a lie - she had no memory loss and I was fairly sure she remembered everything.
And in the meantime, Scarlett has put herself in the background, but fuck I missed her.
I missed her terribly.
She's been there for me, always, no matter how grumpy I was.
And Max was right, I did know who I like and it's not both of them. It was Red.
She was everything I could wish for, it's easy with her, I felt comfortable around her but not too much. My heartbeat picked up whenever she was around.
Alix on the other hand has been a trip. Nothing was easy with her. We struggled, we fought, we lied. I had to see her kiss, love and date James.
We were so damn toxic.
Once again Alix was laying on the bed of my hotelroom, on her stomach, flipping through a magazine.
"Alix" I sighed. "We need to talk"
"Fine" she closed the magazine, let it fall off the bed and looked at me. "What's up?"
"What are you doing?" I asked. "Why are you here?"
"Because we have to pretend to be a couple, remember"
"No, I don't remember and I don't want to pretend-"
"So you want it to be real?" She cut me off, but the way she said it, it wasn't with excitement, it was as if she was rather bored.
"No, I also don't want it to be real, I like someone else"
Her eye flinched a little, she looked down before looking back up with a grin.
"Oh Lando" she got up, walked up to me. If I wasn't already standing against the wall, I would've taken a couple of steps back because she looked...
Mad?
"You like your little PR girl?"
"Scarlett, yes" I nodded. "We like each other and we kissed-"
"You kissed while I was in the hospital?" She once again cut me off.
She always did that, she never let me explain things.
I know she wanted to have to upper hand even when we weren't fighting.
And she wanted to crush me every time we were fighting.
"Yes we kissed while you were in the hospital" I know it wasn't the best timing - but she couldn't blame me.
I thought she was dating James. I just had to be okay with her dating James?
Honestly, I was okay with that - because I finally admitted to myself that I like Scarlett.
Something Max figured out way before me.
"Unbelievable, you kissed someone else when you were the one who put me in the hospital?"
"Yes I kiss-" I stopped when I realized what she actually said. "Wait what? How am I the one who put you in the hospital?"
"You told me about the DRS, you are the reason why they put it on my car - did you want to kill me, Lando?"
I frowned. Was she okay in the fucking head?
"You told these things to Christian. You used me to get information and used it on your car" I walked passed her, grabbed my jacket.
"Where are you going?" She turned to me.
"I am going to my PR girl" I mumbled, grabbed my phone and keys.
"If you're going now then you don't have to come back"
"First of all, this is my room" I rolled my eyes. "Secondly, I'll just stay with her then"
She snorted, rolled her eyes even more than I rolled mine.
I don't know who she was - but she was acting so difficulty.
She wasn't the champagne fairy anymore. Or maybe she was, maybe I was just too blind to see the truth.
