lando

I think it's cute that Tala thinks she can get away from me, she underestimates how determined I can be.

"I'm not joking." I'm very aware how ridiculous it may look having Magui right next to me while I try to get Tala's attention but the adrenaline in me was starting to make me not give a fuck about what I was doing. It's not like I usually do anyway, when it came to my decisions outside of racing I mean.

"Oh Lando, you're so funny, I'm fine," She had brushed me off so easily and I almost....almost lost my shit when I saw her begin to lean into the bloke who was touching her hair. I admit, I thought she was going to snog him but she had only whispered in his ear. Don't even get me started on what I thought about that, even the exhale I let out from my nose was filled with annoyance and aggravation. How does she not see that these idiots are not going to treat her well?

"Come on, let's just leave her be," Magui had held my hand trying to pull me back in the direction of our booth. But my feet remained glued to the same spot.

"I agree with Magui," Tala nodded her head giggling at me, she is so drunk. She is killing me.

I had to inhale slowly to relax my jaw from the tensed position it's been in since I saw her here. She really had no idea how much it affected me when I didn't see her after my win. It was consistently on my mind for hours. Why? Because it just was. I don't ever feel this way. I only ever cared about the reactions of my friends and family. But she was new...a new person who had seen right through some of my bullshit. Was that exciting for my heart or my ego? It's all fucking jumbled in my head.

"Hey aren't you in that racing thing for Formula One?" The hair toucher one had slurred to me. He had finally left her poor hair alone which was a relief. I was glad to have his attention be turned over to me.

"Yeah," This cunt had no fucking clue who I was.

"Cool," He looked like he was about to fall over as he got his phone out. "Can I get a picture?"

Fuck no, "Sure."

I just wanted him far away from Tala but I could see in the corner of my eye before the picture was taken that she was going off in a different direction with the other guy following her.

"Thanks man, you rock," I didn't acknowledge him after that. I just grabbed hold of Magui's hand bringing her back to the booth like she had intended to earlier.

"Lando! I want to leave!" I could hear her yell behind me over the loud music.

To be quite blunt, I had invited Magui to come to Miami to hook up. We had agreed early on that our relationship would consist of that and nothing more. Typical friends with benefits. And I have had arrangements like this in the past after my relationship ended with Luisa. It had never been an issue with the public because I was very good at keeping things like this secretive or private. The media didn't even catch that she was here in Miami.
